Comment:

Lectures tend to drag on and get boring. In a lecture hall of 100+, he will call you out for not paying attention, especially if you're on your phone. Also, all of his tests are online on the Blackboard lockdown browser, so you can take them at home, which is a plus.

Comment:

Uses very good examples. Excellent with office hours. One of those teachers who doesn't even have to look at his books. Best Prof I've had for English. Uses real life stories that you wouldn't find in many books. Very passionate about poetry.

Comment:

Doesn't clarify what he expects, very unapproachable, doesn't leave ANY feedback on your assignments. Not the worst prof, but maybe 2nd worst.

nice prof.boring lectures-goes off topic every class for nearly the whole hour, either leaving the class behind schedule on the syllabus or else he jumps ahead & assumes u know the topic he was supposed to lecture about..then u have to go learn it urself.

Provides very little guidance in terms of tests/assignments and lectures lack clarity. However he is a well-meaning prof and a fair marker.

Comment:

Not clear at all on expectations of assignments., but he is an easy marker, the class avg was 80% Very passionate, intelligent, in-depth about his discipline thus off topic: tries to tell you everything about anything in British literature.

He's intelligent & insightful. but digresses a lot & isn't really organized. for most of the time, he's not really clear about what he expects

Comment:

If you are at school to get your marks and go on elsewhere, O'Leary is probably not the professor you are looking for. However, if you would like to listen to an intelligent person discuss a variety of topics with insight and profoundness...incredible tea

I would have selected 0's out of 5 if I could. Bland lectures and unreasonable marking. Assigns biased grades and picks favorites. Not one of my favorites, that's for sure.

Nice guy, quite the entertainer. Knows his English, but is a ridiculously hard marker. Needs to be more clear on assignment guidelines.

Look forward to his English classes. He's fair and very insightful. The only negative comment is that he needs to be more clear on explaining the assignments

Interesting but largely off-topic lectures. Friendly and affable but a little too unclear about what he wants to see in students' work.

he's helpful, and gives exceptional backgrounds of poets. for anyone who already knows alot about poetry, he's a very good prof. lectures aren't your standard fare and this sometimes leads to digression. marks on the whole were quite high
