Comment:

very nice prof. makes a lot of effort always on time and ready to help. funny sometimes and not so bad looking when he smiles which is very seldom. Lectures are interesting but sometimes he gets a bit repetitive and boring . I hated Shakespeare before i took his class now I get what's all the fuss about this bard. I'd take his class again

On the first day of class he asked us if anybody's been talking about him... because he has a bad reputation at the school.

Comment:

If you still have the chance, CHANGE SECTION NOW! Not what I signed up for. He knows what he needs to teach. However (you will be using this word ALOT in this class), he doesn't get the point across very well. He seems to be redundant on alot of things and is one of the most boring profs I have had. He almost seems like a Shakespeare wannbe.

Comment:

Seems dry at first, but actually a good prof. Course got much more interesting with time. Knows what he is talking about. Make sure you have plenty of time to get to your next class, though. Sometimes goes overtime when handing back work, and it's no fun trying to get across campus in three minutes or less. Overall, a good prof.

Comment:

A good professor, very knowledgeable of the various forms of English writing as well as grammar and punctuation. He has a flair for the Shakespearean, which carries over to his lecturing style. He may seem a little original at the beginning, but give him a chance. Tries to get to know his students name.Very good constructive feedback on your work.

Comment:

Very hard but fair marker. The course work is a bit dry and the lectures can be a bit repetitive but John is very helpful and willing to assist his students. Just because it's English doesn't mean you can slack off in his class.

Books we read were fantastic. The lectures were boring. The professor got me in trouble for mocking his performance. In reality I was laughinmg at the passage that he was reading... Well, maybe I was laughing at him... ok, I WAS laughing at him.

He is extremely passionate about his work. He takes the time to explain everything very clearly so that all students understand but he definitely has quirks.

Comment:

Do not sit close to the front, he tends to spit when he gets excited and waves his arms around when doing a "dramatic reading". Boringest prof ever. Quotes himself way too much and always refers to himself as DOCTOR....a little freudian complex perhaps?

Comment:

In essay writing he says "use only as many words as are necessary in your essay" many times. He needs to learn to apply this to his lectures. Knows what he is talking about, competent, if you can bear to stay awake in his class. Come armed with caffine.

He teaches from an unbending point of view but he does it to teach us to learn how. He was pretty nice and easy if you could follow what he was saying.

Good class if you are looking to fall asleep. Most boring teacher ever, and would never take a class with him ever again. Change your course right away.
