Comment:

His class is pretty interesting. 100% of the class mark was blogging about the poetry we discussed in class. This allowed for us to be very creative in our writing and really grow in your writing skills over the semester. Sometimes it does seem that he only focuses on poetry that interetsts him, nut nonetheless it was an interesting variety.

Well articulated lectures but lacked depth. Only focused on things of his interest rather than giving a general introduction to poetry.

Comment:

He told us that one day we'd look back at university and realize how good we had it compared to the working world. His words have stuck with me. How I wish I was back in his class listening to him recite poetry while gazing out at the trees. Fantastic prof. Not easy, but inspiring.

I was told by a past T.A. of mine, that it would be worth it to take a class with Prof. Kuin. I definitely concur. Cheers!

Comment:

He's a very nice man who goes off on tangents that have nothing to do with the reading. No structure to his lectures, half the time I had no idea what he was even talking about.

Comment:

He is someone you wish you were related to so that you could call him up and talk about Dickenson or the weather. The only problem with Professor Kuin is that he makes you not want to leave his lectures. First rate.

Knows his stuff, but doesn't teach it well. Tests you on stuff not even in the course ... just stuff "you should know."

I really like him! He's so nice and considerate and makes things seem seamless. The type of poetry he teaches is challenging, yet when I come to class and he explains things everything becomes clear as a bell! Great prof! :)

I enjoy the class and doing the web blogs. He is very intelligent and knowledgable. He really loves what he does and it shows. Course is difficult if you don't know Elizabethan Poetry

Pompous ass. Acts like what he knows is beyond anyone else's reach. Terrible instructor. These are the type of profs that should be culled.

One of York's great teachers. The most influential, committed teacher I have ever had. He made me love the music of poetry and want to hear it in many languages. He took hours of his time to teach me to research to write and rewrite.
