Comment:
I've taken 3 classes with Prof Hodges & loved all of them. Class participation can be intimidating, but just know that when he argues with you he doesn't mean it personally, that's just how he tries to start a discussion. He's never mean & is always full of interesting facts. Tests are hard, but if you take a class with only papers then As are easy

A great prof. Very knowledgeable about the subject, related history, and context. His lectures are interesting, and he often fosters interesting discussion. I learned a lot and would take again. Test are challenging, must study. Very reasonable policies.

Comment:
He calls people out and forces commentary on topics, but regardless of what you say, he will heavily criticize it with little to no positive feedback. Calls people at random to stand in front of the class to read or perform scenes. Very difficult final with no prep given. He's quite condescending and outright rude sometimes.

Comment:
He's a nice guy, I just dislike his teaching style. Will ask obscure questions (not about the reading) then act like we should know the answer to it. Tests were extremely hard so basically memorize the entire text. Not very nice when he doesn't agree with your interpretation. Doesn't make subject matter interesting.

Honestly, I'm saying he's hot because he mentioned this function in class. English Renaissance Drama was a fun class. The plays were interesting and Dr. Hodges offered provocative commentary.

Comment:
Nice guy. Lots of response paper assignments and tends ot be pretentious, but is extremely well-versed in this topic. Knows context of plays like it's something that should be natural. Discussions aren't always smooth, but this is a good class if you want to go beyond Shakespeare.

Allows free discussion and work is manageable and fairly easy. Knows a great deal and leads good discussions. Never gives an unqualified compliment. Hair is scary. Overall, good prof, but be brave if you want to challenge him.

Comment:
The discussion in this class is wonderful. He gives enough historical context to explain the literature, and then it's open to discussion. Instead of sticking with one single narrow-minded interpretation, he leaves it open, allowing students to form their own ideas. I've learned a great deal about the history of English literature in this class.

Excellent professor. I am fairly certain that he is the masked knight who clove both my shield and my honor in twain at the jousting tourney, unhorsing me and absconding with my fairest ****.
