Everybody's too hard on him. He's not the most exciting man but he's smart and you'll learn alot from taking his class. I am a graduating English major and his class was the ONLY class that taught me how to scan poetry. Oh, and I got an A so his tests aren't impossible.

If you have a brain, take a class with this man. He is smart and expects his students to not only make an effort but use their brains. It is refreshing to work with a professor who is not cowed by students' complaints and who just does his thing. If you

EXTREMELY knowledgeable; a walking encyclopedia of American lit; however, he is best kept out of the classroom and left alone in a very isolated dark office where he can conduct his research. Perhaps he could guest lecture in American Lit. classes, but teach? No.

Incredibly helpful when it comes to your own ideas and immensely knowledgable about American Literature; you have to work hard to get something out of his classes. Not the most dynamic speaker or teacher, but he's the man.

More than 10 years after taking his course, I still recall how horrible the ordeal was. I remember the belittling of student efforts and sarcasm and boredom.

He may be a genius in his field but he's a horrible teacher. Doesn't speak to the class but to himself. Tests are ridiculous. Class is a sleeping pill.

He is the worst teacher I have ever had in my entire life. His exams were rediculous and his classes put me to sleep. He should have retired a long time ago. Avoid his classes at all costs!

His tests are ridiculous. The class in general put me to sleep. He is very boring and needs either a vacation or a retirement from the university.
