Dr. Brooks is phenomenal. He looks like a mad scientist, but his lectures are insightful and he'll give you plenty of different ways to look at literature.

Excellent professor! He had a heavy hand in forming me as a writer in graduate school and I have benefited from his tough and straight forward teaching as a writer, a reader, and as a teacher. Highly recommend this professor for any serious students.

By far the best professor I have ever had. He certainly is a tough grader, but if you pay attention to the comments he writes on your papers, take them seriously, and correct your errors, you'll definitely get a lot out of the class.

I really enjoyed this class. His lectures can be dry for those not interested in the subject matter, but being an English major I enjoyed it very much. His criticism on your papers will greatly improve your essay-writing skills. I loved this class!

Comment:

The most helpful in learning how to write correctly, especially if you're thinking of becoming an English major! His lectures tend to be on the boring side but he'll at least try to involve the class. Probably my third favorite overall.

Comment:

He reads straight from the book and has no prepared lectures. He's completely monotone--won't even pause for a period. He gives no direction prior to paper writing. Prepare to be infuriated upon entering his classroom. He is one of my two worst professors thus far. I don't doubt that he is knowledgeable, but good luck.

Comment:

This man will teach you how to write a paper. You'll probably come close to flunking your first one, but if you make the easy corrections he suggests, you'll replace that grade with your next one. Interesting dude. Might remind you of the prof from animal house...

Comment:

One of my favorite professors. Know your MLA and learn how to "transcend the text" and you'll do fine. I got a C- in his class. But when it was over, I knew how to annotate and I understood why the movie "Amadeus" and the book "Moby Dick" are the same story.

one of the few real scholars in a department packed with people who haven't published in years. he knows his field and demands informed, risky scholarship from his students. if you get an 'a' from this professor, you know you've earned it.

I call this guy "Dr. Skull" because when I made a bad grammar error he once drew a litle skull and crossbones on my paper. Seriously though, THIS GUY HAS MADE ME A PERFECT WRITER, the A I got from his class was the hardest grade I have ever made. He will fine tune your writing to pefection. TAKE THIS PROF!!!!!

Comment:

Good teacher but I completely agree with one of the earlier posts. Good works with some grammatical mistakes automatically get lower scores than those works that have very few mistakes but lack content. Buy a grammar book and take to heart what he says. It may cost you a letter grade if you don't.
