Comment:

Tinkler is such a nice guy and extremely amusing. He is kinda scary the first few weeks, and he tries to intimidate you about the first paper. If you read and work hard, then you should be fine. Highly recommend

Comment:

I absolutely loved Tinkler! The first few classes you'll swear you hate him, but by the end of the semester you're so sad to leave! He is a hard grader but by the end of the class you are a better writer in the end. Just stick to the guidelines of assignments and you'll be fine. I'd deff take him. He's hilarious!

Comment:

I don't get this cat. He yells, jumps on desks, and tells jokes that are incredibly dry. He has a profound love of literature though. Just too great for me. Is quirky. If you don't need the class, stay away. Is a really hard grader. Wears the same clothes every class, spends the 1st 20 miuntes talking about his day, then keeps you 10 minutes late!

Comment:

This guy is the best! Quirky, fun, loves class debates, and not nearly as hard a grader as he claims to be. Do your reading and you will be fine. He will say things in a debate just to get the class to think; don't think he is trying to intimidate you. He made "Paradise Lost" intersting! If that's not a great teacher I don't know what is.

Comment:

This guy is quirky, for sure, but he is very sincere and willing to help you out. The only real requirement is that you can't be an idiot, and you have to have a working interpretive knowledge of the text. If you're a snobby intellectual, you'll love his class.

Comment:

This man is crazy. Going to class is worthless, you'll learn nothing. He strolls in late and then keeps you late. He is nearly impossible to understand and his voice drains out by the end of the sentence so you can't make sense of what he said. Do not take him unless you absolutely have no other choice.

Comment:

Very strange teacher. Be prepared to memorize a dozen sonnets for first test. You'll have to know dates, random lines, and authors. He's funny at times. He keeps everyone till the very last second of each class.

Comment:

This is by far the worst teacher I've ever had. He skips into class late, and barely even knows names. The class is generally full of dorks who like to talk about the same crap he likes. His tests are a waste of time and so is his class. Don't take him!

This was my absolute favorite class this semester. You will learn a lot. He is eccentric, but never a dull moment. The class is difficult, but he grades the tests fairly. Really wonderful guy! I want to take him again!

AMAZING teacher. I had him twice last semester, and I am taking him again. Curves grades a lot, appreciates your opinion, and is extremely animated! Don't take if you don't like essays.

Awesome teacher! It's a competitive class, so you can't slack off and then call the people who actually understand the material dorks. He likes to hear your opinion, and he doesn't criticize too much. If you do bad, then you deserve too.

Comment:

No at home papers, all in class essay. Very funny and entertaining. Conversation does tend to be dominated by a few students because no one else TALKS. I wish there was a bit more lecture instead of all discussion.
