Comment:

Yoch is very inconsistent with his requirements for assignments; everyday the expectations are different than what is specified on the syllabus. This class has little to do with literature at all. The main focus is on gardens he has visited. don't write on both sides of your paper during the exams, he'll count off for that and not tell you prior.

Comment:

Just to clarify. Yes- you will have to read and come to class. Yes, Yoch likes everyone to discuss, act, participate and play a role in his class. If you are looking for a class with an extremely intelligent teacher who loves to think outside the box and is looking to continually learn and expirience from his own students. this is great class

Comment:

If there was a professor that like to go off on a tangent, Dr. Yoch is it. I liked that he's into what he says but I was bored through most of his class. I also got really tired of hearing about all his hollywood buddies and how he's helping out on so many projects.

He may have been good in 1964, but it's about time he retires.

Comment:

Have him for British Lit. He's really funny and animated guy. I really like him a lot. But he thinks that all focus in ones life should be on school and he doesn't think anyone should have a job. I agree to a point but some of us have to work to support ourselves and he doesn't understand so he doesn't work too well with you if you are a busy person. But still nice all the while.

Dr. Yoch is one of a kind. The man is a walking encyclopedia and certainly one of the few professors you will have that you will never forget. Take his class seriously, but enjoy it while you can!

Dr. Yoch rocks! He is an amazingly interesting teacher. The tests are somewhat annoying, but he is very lenient when it comes to final course grades. Most fun classes i've had at university have been with him!

Dr. Yoch was one of the best professors I ever had. He was entertaining, smart, and an excellent speaker. I LOVED his classes - Brit Lit and Shakespeare - and learned so much. YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK. This class is not easy, but it is worth it.
