Comment:
really good prof, if your not doing so good in english he will offer you alot of help, and sometimes if deserved a chance to improve your grade on material already passed in. Also if you like have every 2nd friday off, he's the man for that. H=one down side to him/ the course is that it is pretty dry, but that is 2nd level english for you

This man is awesome! he's sweet, comical, and so down to earth! His lectures are full of his personal stories which makes the material all that much more interesting to learn. The department should be thankful to have this man on campus!! He's one of a kind!

Best prof I have EVER had. His quizzes are only hard if you haven't read the stories carefully, which you should be doing anyway, and he was a fair marker on papers. He gives the best lectures I've ever heard; I never skipped a single class of his. If I don't get another course with him, I might cry.

Fill in the blank quizes on stories you read at home you go over them in class after you already got quized on them. Quizes consisit of 50 very detailed questions(extreamly difficult). 1 final paper, and a final exam.

Dr. Byrne is tied with Shane O'Dea for my favourite prof ever. He is funny and tells interesting stories in class. A lot of people don't care for his laidback approach, but I prefer it. He is very understanding.

He is hilarious! He gives great deadlines and knows what it is like to take 5 courses at 1 time. He believes in giving time off for exam studying which is the smartest thing anyone at MUN as ever thought of. He should have some say in the way MUN is set up.

LOVE this prof! I can't stand Shakespeare, and even still had a tough time with the content in this course but Mr. Byrne made it more than bearable - funny, very knowledgable, very understanding, and lenient with deadlines. Good exams too, however expect to have to spend time at the library!

I took Pat Byrne's class many years ago, and lets just say I'm a Math person! I always had a very difficult time writing a decent essay. By rights I should have come out of the course with a c- (at best...), but instead of bringing down my grade point average, he helped me to improve my papers. I en

I really liked this course. He demonstrated confidence in the students to work independently and develop their own ideas instead of feeding them his(which dumb students want). I LOVE BYRNE!
