Comment:

You are usually required to go to class. Had 2 group presentations, they're only easy if you're with people that hold their own weight. You have to pay a lot of attention to what he's saying because he's hard to understand and so are the way he words questions. He's really nice though, and if you email to ask him for help he'll help you.

Comment:

It is extremely difficult to understand what this man is saying. During the first few weeks, all I heard was whispers and mumbles. I started to get used to the way he talked, though, and he became easier to understand. He is a nice person, but he is not a good teacher. His tests are hard. Look up the readings online to help you understand them.

Comment:

Awful teacher, went to his class for more than half the semester, took notes and paid close attention and still failed his first two tests. Didn't go to class and read the work on my own, and passed. Do not take him unless you can sit through pointless lectures and then go home and reread everything you did in class!

Comment:

Jerry is great!! If you attend class you will do fine on the tests. He goes over all the readings in great detail. So you will do good on the test. His tests are easy. He can be unclear at times but its not to bad. People think he is bad because he is old but he is really nice. If you go to his office he helps you alot. Take all of his classes!!

Comment:

He is a GREAT old man. His tests have lots of options so if you do not know something you can skip it. You do group presentaions so you understand better. The only negative thing about his class is most times you dont really know what he is asking when he asks you a question. Over all a good class and would take his class again. Dont worry its good

Comment:

Prof. Siegel seems to be a smart guy, speaks multiple languages, I think. He's not nasty or anything but he's simply a poor teacher. I actually had trouble in class understanding what he meant, sometimes even the individual words he was saying. I was able to get an A, but it just wasn't an enjoyable experience.

Do not take this professor! Most annoying professor, tough grader and nothing he says in class is relevant. When you go to his office he does not help you at all.

Good professor, tests are easy if you pay attention to class discussions. Quizzes every week, so just read material.

Comment:

I loved this professor. He is the nicest man and he was very helpful. You have to read for every class but most of the stuff is semi enjoyable. I would recommend him unless you really hate reading. He really cares about his students and wants them to do well. He has a weird sense of humor but he is a very nice person. Give him a chance.

Comment:

I actually looked forward to his class. He has an odd sense of humor, but at least he tries to make class more interesting. A lot of reading, but it's a Lit course so it's expected. Do the reading, or pay attention to the discussions. Tests are easy, and he's a fair grader.

Comment:

Nice, fun man...but not made for teaching. In having a graduate degee, he talks to students as if they also have graduate vs. working towards bachelor degree. Incorporates entirely too much into the curriculum-almost impossible to read all required. Tests survivable, but too much to study to prepare for tests. Take your chance, but beware!

Don't take him if you don't have to! Classes felt like they would NEVER end. Very unclear & constantly revised syllabus throughout semester.

nice guy, horrible teacher. you never know what he's talking about. he has very unclear directions. he doesn't do a good job of explaining what he is putting on the tests so it's hard to study for them.

He rambles on forever. He's not very clear on everything, and changes the syllabus often. His tests are fairly easy, and if you you'll do fine. He loves giving quizzes, so be sure to read. Also, participate in class!

Comment:

worst class ever. for a class that was supposed to be the culmination of 4 yrs of lit classes i feel like instead of enhancing what i've learned it actually made me dumber. every day that i went to this class was the worst day of my life. pointless assignments for a class that was supposed to be research based. i now hate the great gatsby w/passion
