I honestly cannot imagine an easier and more enjoyable ENWR. I think it is physically impossible to get anything less than an A-. My freshman-year English class in high school required less work. If you are looking for a super mentally stimulating class where you can hone your writing skills, I would actually not recommend taking a class with John. However, if you are looking to breeze through a COMPLETION GRADE ENWR with a funny, self-aware professor who wants nothing more than for students to enjoy and pass his class, then you are in the right place. We had 4 "papers"; one of them was a 5-6 page personal reflection, one of them was a 6-8 page GROUP PAPER, meaning I only had to write 2 pages, and the third one was a Zine compiling the contents of our second paper, and the final paper was a 1-2 page cover letter for the other 3. All in all, I cannot recommend taking your ENWR or any English class with John if you are looking for a low-stress experience.
