Comment:

He talks for the whole class and discusses the literature passionately. However, he often digresses and talks about other things more. He is a really tough marker and gives good feedback but sometimes takes marks off if you dont share the same opinion as him, which I dont think is fair.

Comment:

His lecture is interesting in some aspects as he talks a lot about the background of the problem. He is also caring and pretty helpful when it comes to questions, but he is definitely a tough grader. I mean really really tough. And the way he teaches does not facilitate taking notes at all so you might have troubles with what to write down.

Didnt like him much at first as he babbled the whole class. Since it's a full year course, have gotten to know him and I just love him. He is passionate about what he teaches, replies to emails fast, and will help clarify confusion. Hints about things that will be tested. Class participation is required, and notices when you put effort in essays.

Overall a very good prof. He genuinely cares about his students and makes it a priority to get to know them on a first name basis. Friendly, funny, and makes topics as interesting as possible. Only critique is that he's a tough grader on papers, especially on those written in class.

Roy is an absolute gem. I cannot say enough about what an amazing instructor he is. He ignited such a passion in me for literature, he is absolutely inspirational. I took his course a yr ago & I can honestly say I still think about his lectures to this day. I would always go to his lectures w/ such pleasure. I could go on but Im only allowed 350 ch

By far the BEST prof i have ever had! Best book list ever. I learned so much. I found his lectures interesting, he has true passion for the literature he teaches. I loved this class and learned so much. Come to class and the tests and exams will be easy, he's always dropping hints on what you should know. He also makes an effort to learn names.

Comment:

Roy was a very likeable prof. His class involves a lot of anecdotes, so if that bothers you keep that in mind. I found him to be pretty tough on papers, and less so on in class tests. I didn't really like the class because I found the material to be boring, but I think he did his best in trying to make it interesting.

Comment:

Hardest English grading I've experienced so far in university, if you need an English credit steer clear of big Roy. What is taught in class is hardly relevant to exams and essays, he expects you to relate lectures to your own time research without telling you this. Feedback comments also come across as rude and degrading, in my case. Goodluck

Comment:

He was my favourite professor of my entire university career to date (finishing up my 3rd year at the u of m). All of his stories are related to the lectures, he's clear, gave great first year information about writing essays. He is hilarious and lectures were always very interesting. He gives good feedback on tests and yes, they're tough, it's uni

Comment:

It's fair enough to say that he often goes on tangents and it may appear counter-productive but he always finds a way to relate it back to the subject and has hilarious lectures. Perhaps the greatest thing about him isn't how tough he marks papers or unique his annotations are at times, but his willingness to help everyone.

Very joyous professor and has a great connection with the students (knows you by name!). I disliked the idea if the course in general but am glad Mr. Campbell was teaching it, otherwise it would have been a snoozer. Gives great feedback on assignmentstests and is always open for questions after class and during class.

Comment:

Through 4 years of high school, and 3 years of college, I have never received an English mark below an A... I struggled to get a B in his class. It isn't so much that he has high expectations, but more so that he analyzes the work to find ways to deduct marks. I, as well as others in the class, never really understood his marking scheme altogether.

expects direct quotes in in-class essays. prepare to memorize random crap for grades. talks a lot, goes on tangents often, doesn't have slides or anything to facilitate note-taking. goes over potential test questions before, no surprises. very passionate about the books studied. calls on students frequently. due dates were sometimes inconsistent.

Comment:

He expects nothing from you and that's what you learn. NOTHING. No passion for teaching, no expertise, and no clue. He tends to hand the answers straight to you and then give you a C for effort. Only seems to be in it for the payday and vacation time. Sad man.
