Comment:

The most intelligent man I have ever met. He adores Shakespeare and clearly loves to teach it. Other classes were more muddy but still enjoyable. He is more than willing to give extra help during office hours and loves chatting

Comment:

Goes off on random tangents every now and then (okay, fairly often), but it's entertaining. If you pay attention, he has a lot of insightful things to say. Made me love symbolism again. Awesome professor!

Comment:

He's a smart guy, but can't always communicate that. Tends to ramble. He'll read most of the stuff to you. Doesn't care about deadlines. Likes his booze. And I'm sure he'll bring up his arrests. Entertaining class.

Comment:

He is unquestionably a genius and appears to truly care about the subject matter and the students ability to comprehend it. However sobriety should be mandatory for university professors. It is insulting and disrespectful to the students to lecture under the influence. And it loses him their respect. A good prof for those with patience.

Comment:

Easy, laid-back prof, but not very knowledgeable in the subject area. Lazy. Nice guy and funny, though. I'd say he'd be a great prof for ppl who hate English and are just taking it to satisfy a requirement, but, as an English major, I find it difficult to respect him.

excellent professor! you might have to go and get clarification from him on exactly what he expects in terms of his papers (esp for 2 and 3 year classes). But he's a really fair marker. i'd definately take a class from him again!

Alright prof. Class is a bit slow and boring, everything relates to the mutability cycle, a little worried about what's going to be on the exam. A little clarity would be great. American conversations are awesome, and true.

You can't possibly call yourself a BU student without taking one of his classes. Blaikie sticks it to the man, and teaches it like it should be taught.

Interesting classes, fairly marked essays. Sometimes seems to get off topic, but if you listen closely it's usually all related. Overall a good prof.
