Prof. Metzger is the best English teacher I have ever had. I feel that he really cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. He has helped me develop my writing tremendously and I am better for it. Also, he does play the best background instrumentals during classENGW111 2023-12-05 19:32:29 +0000 UTC
Wonderful, amazing class with wonderful, amazing background music !!!ENGW3315 2023-12-05 15:42:47 +0000 UTC
I would highly recommend him, because he was very respect students, whatever you from different background, he could keep his professional opinions and inclusive attitudes during whole semester. He is the most impressive professor that I will remember him within my life, please take his class! And more importantly, writing is not that hard :)ENGW3307 2024-11-28 03:35:16 +0000 UTC
Incredible Professor. Builds a great community. I learned a lot about variety of writing and the assignments were unique and super interesting. Way better and completely different assignments from your traditional high school rhetorical analysis. Even as an engineer, it was my favorite class I've taken this semester. 11/10ENGW1111 2025-12-05 16:14:06 +0000 UTC
GREAT TEACHER, EASY GRADER AND GREAT PERSON.ENGW111 2023-12-04 02:30:17 +0000 UTC
Kind, laid-back and down-to-earth. Assignments are graded based on the components of a rubric, and each component is graded as either all-credit-received or no-credit-received. This makes it easy to check all the criteria boxes on assignments and get full credit. Lectures are engaging and participation-focused. Absolutely recommend!ENGW3307 2024-07-09 02:18:31 +0000 UTC
Professor Metzger is awesome. His class feels causal and fun while also being productive. He organizes each unit so that each student gets lots of focused feedback on their writing helping each of us improve and develop our skills.ENGW1111 2025-11-24 15:42:27 +0000 UTC
Very helpful with feedback and draft revising and super nice!! The work in this class was very interesting and engaging and I was never bored during class. Highly recommend!ENGW111 2022-06-23 12:25:32 +0000 UTC
He is a great professor! He will respond to emails in a short time and look carefully at your writing project. I chose his course in the 2023 spring and his roundtables make sense and pls try to be prepared for what they are going to talk about before the class. He is very patient with people and I would take his class again!ENGW3307 2024-04-21 20:57:49 +0000 UTC
Supportive and Interesting class. You have a large variety in what you write, so it is not really about rhetorical analysis essays like high school. We even get to write a ted talk. The class is small and intimate and discussions and being open are promoted. A really nice class, even if you don't like writing.ENGW1111 2025-10-20 01:56:17 +0000 UTC
He is the nicest and most caring professor I have ever had. He is the best. I would 1000% recommend him. He is an easy grader and has clear criteria. He is very understanding with extensions. Take this class with him plz!!ENGW111 2022-04-25 19:12:02 +0000 UTC
