As a decent writer, I do not think it is possible to get an A, let alone a B+ in his class without devoting your life to the art of writing.

This has been one of the only classes I've taken where I've worked extremely hard for an A. He wants to see your growth and gets upset if he has to consistently explain your mistakes to you. He is a quirky guy but definitely cares a lot. Only take if you love the practice of writing.
