It's been a long time since I was at BC - When I came across this website, I wanted to look up the profts I liked or hated most! "Beckson" is still a story of horror told at family gatherings 20 years later!

This man should never have gone into teaching! He is just bitter and I question his interpretation of literature.

Comment:

had him in the 1980s; he was teaching an NYU course. he is brilliant and demanded excellence. excellent writing teacher too. i can see why today's lazy, egotistical college generation would not appreciate him. don't take criticism of your writing personally; it's there to learn from!

Comment:

An old a**hole, should not even be teaching at the department. Seems to have gotten bitter over the years. His class is a waste of time. If you can't get an exemption from Eng 2, take another section with a better instructor, it will save you the pain
