Comment:
It's great to listen to him talk, which is pretty much all that happens in his class. He's very brilliant, very opinionated, and very lazy. Don't try too hard when writing papers for him - he doesn't care about structure at all.

Comment:
I've taken two classes from Tom and both have been enlightening. Tom, although he can be difficult to understand at times, applies literature and philosophy in ways that make you see your current prejudices and be able to reflect upon your own life.

I had him his 1st year and I found him to be condesending and not particularly avialable to students needing help.

Comment:
This was the most brilliant professor I've had at Whitman. He can be difficult and obtuse, but he has the kind of insights that change peoples' lives. I spent most class sessions just amazed at the kinds of insights he was developing. This guy is definitely not for lame or unmotivated students.

Never would answer a direct question. Very sarcastic and hard to find when looking for help. Good comments on papers, and nice about extensions.
