It's a really great course. He's a lot of fun, and makes the material fun and easy to learn. There's a ton of writing, but for the most part, it's fairly easy. Also, there a lot of group work, which can be difficult with busy schedules. He is also flexible if you are unable to make it to presentation.

Mr. Vail is a very nice and respectable teacher. I was overwhelmed at first and he made me feel very good about the class. If we didn't feel good about the grade we did have option to redo as most teachers don't give you that option. I would take another course with him.

Vail is a teacher who will make you feel good about your work even if you don't get it right the first time. He works hard for his students to teach the best possible lessons. Vail's classes are hard work, but also entertaining and fair-minded

This class is very group oriented and focuses on office relationships. You will be required to work very hard in this class mainly in groups, be sure to ask about your feasibility study well in advance.

I disliked English before I started college, I was very nervous about this course. Mr. Vail put me at ease and taught me very well. I learned so much in this course. Mr. Vail is fun to learn from and makes class interesting.
