Comment:
Although Zeitlin initially seems like a quality professor, feedback is scarce and assignment marking is very tough. If you care about your gpa then STAY AWAY! Engl 120 has similar class averages to 112/110 yet everyone enrolled wants to major in honours English. Unless you are a Nobel Laureate who is prepared for a C at best then avoid this course

Comment:
Professor Zeitlin's class was not the most enthralling class I've ever taken, but he himself is a very kind and caring prof. who is more than willing to work with you to ensure you do well. Getting an A in his class is not easy, but you likely won't get lower than a C--he really wants you to succeed! Definitely recommend this professor.

He's a good, caring prof that encourages discussion and participation. He's also super accessible and pretty great but is *very* reading-heavy. He's also pretty opinionated which kinda suck and mentions Freud at least once per lecture.

Fantastic. Super understanding about missing class and very passionate about the subject. Good lecturer, and lets students have a lot of free range in discussions. Fair marker but gives excellent feedback on writing and really encourages students to be creative.

Had Zeitlin as my prof for Arts One, so I had him for about 4 hours every week. Brilliant guy! Passionate, loves what he does, which instills a genuine interest in his students. You have to work for your grades, but if youre ready and willing and talk to him for feedback you'll be golden. Participate, read the books, do your best, you'll enjoy him!

Offers the most insightful lectures, extremely helpful during office hours. Heavy on close reading, but models it so well. Belongs to the list of "Teachers who will change your life."

INCREDIBLE PROFESSOR! Very nice and understanding, replies to email quickly. Though he has a soft voice, his observations and thoughts put forth are very engaging. I am honestly just searching through courses to have him again.

I had him for Arts One, as a first year student. I'm not an English native speaker and I make many grammatical mistakes. He corrected them one by one. He was always very patient, understanding and gave great feedback that truly improved my writing skills. He's great!!!

This class renewed my passion for literature!! Great books, intelligent discussions, thoughtful feedback, laid-back grading (-got A's on every assignment and am not a phenomenal essay writer)...and I must admit, he is intensely sexy, but he knows it and it's intimidating...if you want a chill but intriguing English class- this is it!

Professor Zeitlin may be my favorite professor of all time. He is so thoughtful and so passionate about English, his insight into the texts make you want to go to class. He respects all opinions and cares deeply about his students. He's also, a fairly easy marker as long as you think critically and read the books. COMPLETELY recomended

His lectures were quite interesting but slow-paced. Fairly tough marker but the novels we read were great, and I still got a pretty good mark. He's also reeeallly hot!

Went in with zero interest in the course. Thx to Z, BEST CLASS of my undergrad (major in eng). He's funny, sweet, smart, personable (though shy). I made the dreaded trip to UBC solely to attend his class. Insight is a must to do well, but he pulls that out of you. Very encouraging. Guys love him, girls..we all secretly think he's mad sexy. TAKE IT!

Liked his lecture style, loved the novels he chose for this course. He is funny and interesting. Only problem was he did this class with our TA Alyssa and she was the opposite cold and annoying with nothing thought provoking to say. Without her this class would've rocked, take it, but drop out the first day if she is teaching with him.

Great lecturer. Funny, even if he does tell the same jokes over and over again. Encouraging. Most of your mark comes from yout TA though.
