Professor Wetta is a well respected, laid back, and caring professor with superb knowledge in his field. He delivers deep analysis of literature but tells a couple of jokes here and there to make sure the students enjoy class and are engaged. Definitely recommend him and would take him again.

Comment:

You MUST take this professors. He is funny, respectful, and validates everyone's odd interpretations of the reading. As long as you participate, you're golden. You HAVE to do the reading, but its not dense at all and actually pleasant. Also, don't be late. But, the class is pretty relaxed and chill. There was a midterm, final, and paper.

Comment:

He is so laid back yet extremely intelligent at the same time. He wants to give you a good grade! However, dont skip class (over whats allowed of course) and be punctual (he hates latenesses but won't say anything). The more conversational and detailed your participation the better you'll do! Also, actually READ for the final & you'll do AMAZING!

Comment:

Professor Wetta, while laid back in personality, is passionate about the subject he teaches and he has natural a gift for capturing the student's interest with his readings and the discussion of those readings. His love of "King Lear" is utterly charming, and his ability to help the student step into the story and understand it is a rare talent!!

Comment:

His requirements are really clear: show up, participate, and hand in papers on time. Since it was a workshop class, the reading was light, but don't skimp on the papers. You can easily get an A if you do the papers on time and show you're invested in the class. He's also a full time professor and an advisor.

Comment:

When you read his syllabus, you'll know he's not your average prof. Wetta is an amazing lecturer. His arguments for the readings are controversial and really interesting. If you write well, expect to get an A without a doubt.

Comment:

He is such a nice guy. He's hip, hes funny, and he really cares about what you have to say about the book. We have a 10 minute writing before each class but its based on opinion and not so much the reading. I HATED english but I absolutely loved his class. There was pretty much no work too. The readings were also pretty great.

my favorite professor so far. absolutely loved his class and it was the only one i looked forward to. he doesn't make you write except for the required writing and we discuss. the whole class participates in class discussion and it makes you want to contribute your opinion.

Comment:

One of the best. Had to retake 220 and glad that I got him the second time, as I had a horrible professor the first time. Very down to earth and funny. Very lenient on papers and very helpful in office hours. Must read the books in order to keep up with class but the material was extremely interesting! He's awesome!

Professor Wetta is a great professor! I already had an interest in creative writing before class, but I always had trouble making myself write. He did that for me, and brought my love for writing back. He's a great guy, so helpful and supportive. Definitely take him!

Comment:

I took him for ESL. He is nice, this is true. But most of the people in my class failed the writing test after his class. He was not teaching at all, only spoke about absolutely irrelevant issues all the time. I passed the essay only because worked hard on that on my own.if you need improvement I do not recommend him. Not helpful at all
