Spring 2011

Professor Wend is probably the best English teacher in the school. He’s good at what he does, he’s funny and charismatic, and he makes the class enjoyable. I’m really glad I had him for both 101 and 102.

*

Make the journal entries worth more than five points!!! The journals are a lot of work for only five points.

*

Professor Wend is a great teacher, because of this I have decided to draw him a “smiley face”

(drawing of smiley face)

My only regret is that this will be my last class with Wend and I will miss the experiences greatly.

*

Professor Wend is an excellent teacher. I always looked forward to attending this class and to our discussions. I legitimately enjoyed myself. He is always available for extra help and to answer questions, and was completely accessible throughout the semester. I hope he stays at BCC so other students have the opportunity to have him as a professor.

*

This is not the professor to have if you are taking eng102 as a requirement. He teaches as if you are to be English majors or expects just that of you. I’m not an English major, nor will I ever take another English class after this one.

*

Very energetic teacher! I’m enjoying his class and he will provide any extra help, if needed.

*

Professor Wend is a very good teacher that allows students to voice their opinions in class. He explains certain aspects of the reading and then opens the floor for discussion. This would go a lot smoother if the computer didn’t take so long to load, but other than that, the class has very few problems.

*

You are a good teacher, you can teach the class and still have a good time. You may act a little wired but its part of your teaching style so if its not broke don’t fix it.

*

Good job Professor Wend!

*

He is one of the best teachers I have ever had.

*

This class is not a bad class at all. I don’t fall asleep and I’m actually learning

*

Super job!

*

The wiki is EXTREMELY useful!

*

It is a joy to come to this class. I’m always given something new to read and am mentally tested. I respect the professor because he is knowledgeable and well prepared.

*

Instructor is very knowledgeable and has a very good way of presenting information. I do believe, not to the fault of himself, that he has way too much on his plate as a college professor.

*

Mr. Wend is a very interesting person. He is very helpful.

*

Unfortunately midway through this semester we were assigned a new teacher. Fortunately Professor Wend is very understanding and caring and has taken on our class without any issue. I enjoy him and am confident in his ability to prepare me for English 102.

*

The previous instructor was the worst teacher I have had. I think that for coming into this class only a few weeks before this semester is over, Professor Wend has done an excellent job.

*

This guy is better than our old teacher.

*

Great teacher.

*

This professor is pretty cool. We’ve only had him for a few weeks but so far so good.

*

Since we have only had Professor Wend for a couple of weeks, it is hard to answer most of these questions. However, he is much more interesting and more organized than the last professor and he also grades more fairly. He is an excellent professor.

*

I am so thankful that we were given another teacher. Professor Wend seems to care about his students and makes himself available whenever someone needs him.

*

I am glad Professor Wend became our teacher. The class is much better now.

*

The class is an educational experience to all that attend.

Fall 2010

He teaches really well and prepares me for better writing skills.

*

There are a lot of assignments like papers given at one time.

*

Honestly his teaching coordinates well with my learning style. I am extremely lucky to have him as a teacher. He has always provided adequate answers to my questions and quickly answers emails.

*

Professor Wend definitely loves his job. He makes learning easy and has a unique personality that is easy to relate with. He makes sure that we are comfortable with the material he teaches. Also he takes time out of his schedule to review rough drafts and allows revisions. Many opportunities are made available to better your grade. Wend also is quick to respond to emails if help is needed. I believe he genuinely cares that each and every one of us does well in his class.

*

You have earned an AWESOME AWARD! Congrats.

*

TOO MANY ASSIGNMENTS FOR AN ENGLISH 101 CLASS.

*

Professor Wend is such an awesome teacher. I love the way he teaches class and how clear and concise he is with everything. I always look forward to going to class every day. All in all, a really awesome guy.

*

Professor Wend rules! I am not a fan of English class personally, but Wend makes it seem not so bad. If I had any other instructor, I’d probably gauge my eyes out during class.

*

Professor Wend is an excellent teacher who keeps a very boring subject interesting. Very good professor; very well prepared.

*

Very good teacher. Keeps things interesting.

*

Mr. Professor Wend is really very good teacher.

*

Great teacher. Enough said!

*

This class was a blast! Professor Wend is extremely quirky, but it contributed to my learning in this class. I have never looked forward to an English class so much in my entire educational career. The way he presents the material is often amusing, but the humor helps with remembering the material.

*

Professor Wend is very organized, goes by the course syllabus and schedule, but I would greatly appreciate if we would get more notice on when things are due besides class before. The dates are up on the website, but I just really like when teachers give more notice and warnings on due dates.

*

Very enjoyable class especially for a morning class. He is upbeat and funny. Always has given me help when I ask. This is the very first English class that I might be able to get a good grade in. The things I learned in this class will definitely help me succeed in the future. I’m more confident now with my writing than I’ve ever been before. He’s a great teacher.

*

Professor Wend is a great teacher. He really cares about our education and wants us to get it. He is also well organized.

*

In general, Professor Wend is a good teacher. However, he is not without his faults. He wears black more than the average person; I am afraid that in the summer he will have a heat stroke from his fashion decisions. It has also come to my attention that his shoes are seemingly never tied. Perhaps this happens only on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, but I still fear that one day he will trip, fall, and hurt his face.

*

This class, particularly because of the instructor, makes me look forward to coming to college. English 101 is my favorite class of the day.

*

Pretty good teacher!

*

Doesn’t explain things enough. Sometimes I feel as though I’m teaching myself. He can also be rude at some points, but overall, he’s an okay teacher.

*

Great teach very enthusiastic!

*

Not a bad class, just a little disorganized.

*

Professor Wend is great. He does have his rules and if you don’t follow them, he will lose respect for you. He has a few favorites. Other than that, great professor.

*

Good teacher. Loves English. Interacts well with students. Great person.

*

He went over everything very clearly

*

I liked how we followed a routine and follow syllabus

*

Very easy, I have not been in school for a long time made it easy

*

Great teacher, very enthusiastic

Spring 2009

Professor Wend is well prepared for all classes and lectures. He takes concern when the student bring something up to his attention or ask questions. He has related some of he’s own experience as a former and current student to help us understand the class better.

*

Your awesome! I appreciate how organized you are and how you take time out (eoffice hours) to answer any questions. You are always updated on what’s going on in class. I can tell you really care about your students.

*

Instructor Wend is a great teacher. I wish all my teachers taught like him. He’s got a great personality which helps with our learning. He helps and understands us. I am looking forward to more classes with him if possible.

*

Mr. Wend is very much into making an effort to make his teachings understood. He is also very easy to talk to and very professional in his ways. I commend all that he does.

*

The class itself is what I have a problem with. We shouldn’t have to write all these essays unless our major specifically requires us to. It’s all just a waste of time. I’m never going to write a persuasive essay, argumentation paper, or whatever.

*

He’s a good teacher, but some of the rules he makes are just too much. It’s an hour and 20 minute class and after 10 minutes of the class starting no one late is allowed in; I think that’s a bit much.

Fall 2009

I enjoy this instructor. His attempts at teaching are good. He works hard and doesn’t quit until everyone has a understanding. This course on the other hand is stupid. I have learned everything in this course in 095 English. I should of never of had to take this class or 095 because we learn the same thing in each class so this school dicked me over for money on the same class two times and I’m pissed.

*

Great professor, has a long college teaching career ahead should he choose to pursue it. Instructors like this are what makes BCC prestigious amongst community colleges. Highly recommended A++ keep this one.

*

He never once said GO PHILLIES! I severely question his character.

*

He’s a very kind teacher. He really cares about his students and has always made an effort to connect with his students both inside and outside of class.

*

Personally, I think this class is boring because I hate grammar and writing. However, he is a very good teacher. He always checks to see if the class has any questions. He seems to be interested in our writing progress and helping us to learn a lot and do better in class.

*

Wend is very concerned and focused on everyone’s learning and grades. Always provides chances for questions.

*

I’m from ESL class and he always helps me when I do not understand or confuse about reading and understanding. When I write my assignments, he tries to correct all my mistakes. I learned a lot of things from him during semester.

*

At first glance I thought this would be a terrible class that I would dislike, but with a week or two I realized I really like this class. Mr. Wend is a great teacher who would not hesitate to help a student.

*

William Wend is an excellent professor. He seems to really care about the learning process and our success in our future education. Professor Wend has been very helpful with my essay writing. William continues to challenge us in our knowledge of the English language. I think his teaching style for all college professors. Professor Wend has been very helpful with my knowledge and use of proper grammar. Professor Wend is awesome. A great teacher for the students of Burlington County College.

*

Great instructor. Seems to really care about his student’s learning. One of the best professors I’ve had in my three semesters at BCC.

*

Very nice guy. Great discussions in class. Would take one of his classes again.

*

I think that Professor Wend is a great teacher that focuses on the important aspects of teaching. He lets us learn in a laid back and comfortable setting. There are also no surprises, everything is well prepared and we have been fully informed.

*

Mr. Wend is a very good professor. His class discussions are always very informative. Mr. Wend goes out of his way to make sure that everyone is keeping up and that they have a clear understanding of what’s going on.

The material we read is challenging but in the class discussion/lecture it makes sense.

It’s very evident that he puts a lot of time into his classes.

*

I feel that Professor Wend is a very good teacher I am only disappointed I cannot take another class of his next semester.

A+++ TEACHER!

*

Although Professor Wend has not been teaching on the college level very long he presents himself as a seasoned veteran. He allows time for questions, comments, or any concerns we have during class. He really knows his stuff and provides great feedback when returning assignments. If I could I would take another class taught by Mr. Wend. I look forward to the classes and in depth conversations we had during class. Great teacher =)
