Wow what a guy. His lectures were amazing, didn't miss any that I didn't have to, as well as hilarious. It's clear that he cares a lot about the class and about getting students into the books

If you are an English major at U of T, it is vital that you take Nick Mount. We had some amazing conversations, and his lectures are interesting and illuminate how you think about the texts holistically. His class, combined with my awesome TA, ready started my experience with English at U of T strongly and set the standard hight.

Nick Mount is a great professor. His essays are only moderately difficult, and most people do pretty well if they put just a little bit of effort in. He is a really great lecturer but not always approachable, and you can tell he prepares a lot for each lecture. His class would be very fun to audit because his lecture style is very engaging.

Mount is a true gem of a prof. Super engaging, loves discussion but wont make you talk if you dont want to. Tutorials are important for highlighting the key points of the works. Final was easy if you read most of the books. Lectures arent necessary to attend but youll want to because he is great.

legends only! Nick Mount is wise but not pretentious, and his lectures are incredibly interesting. Tutorials were awesome as well. All of the essays were interesting and the exam was very fair.

Legends only. Nick Mount is an absolute genius. I don't even know where to begin. He genuinely cares for his students and his lectures are incredible. Going to lecture every week was like having my soul cleansed. Nick took me to church. From Hedwig to Lolita, this year was a trip. I am a better person because of ENG140. GOODBYE TO NICK MOUNT ONLY

No 'textbook' but tons of novels/plays/short stories/etc. Professor Mount's lectures made a 4 pm class on Friday worth showing up to. He reminds you what you can get when you push your mind to look at a novel differently, and he gives you a whole new view of the books you may have read before. I'm going to miss this course......

Comment:

really boring lectures. half the stuff prof mount talks about is pretty random. out of all my classes this year, this was definitely the least engaged and most boring. i found that i hardly ever took anything away from lecture, which is a let down cause some of the texts were pretty good. i don't recommend this course or this prof.

Comment:

It seemed like there was nothing nick said in lectures that I couldn't just find on google. The lectures are boring, uninspired, and refer way too much to irrelevant content. This course is mostly self-taught. We don't learn much about the books we read. Nick focuses too much on trying to get the class to clap for him, not enough on teaching.

while interesting to listen to, the lectures aren't even about the books you read, just random things that he thinks are related somehow

Comment:

Mount was amazing. One of the nicest and most intelligent professors I've had in U of T. He is very understanding and very open to help students with whatever help they may need. He legitimately wants to see his students succeed, and that's not something that can be said about a lot of professors. I wish I could go back and take his class again

Comment:

I was recently taking a semester abroad in Ireland when the person in front of me in my Modern English class turned around with a YouTube link of a recorded lecture on T.S Eliot's "The Waste Land" and said "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GUY?! HE'S BLOODY AMAZING!" It was Mount's lecture. His rep proceeds him, even across the ocean! Best lecturer I've had.

Nick Mount was one of my favorite profs ever! He was enthusiastic, funny, down to earth, and exceptionally intelligent. His lectures were interesting and really easy to listen to, I never wanted to miss a class (not even kidding). You can tell he really cares about his students and he is so well-loved. Take a course with him if you get the chance!

Nick Mount is by far the most inspiring human being I have ever come across. I was left in tears by the end of most lectures, and it was very clear that he cared very much for his students and his jobs. Even if you aren't into English, I would highly suggest any of his classes. It's an amazing life experience to be taught by this man.
