His class was fun and challenging. Sometimes he was unclear with what he expected but at those times he's easy to talk to and explains himself well, he's very kind and not too tough of a marker.

Comment:

I wouldn't recommend it, but if you're determined to take English, you could do worse. It's easy to do ok in this class, but the literature choices were disappointing. Bartley is a brilliant prof and a strong lecturer, but you'd be better served taking a less subjective writing credit if you care about grades.

Comment:

Dr. Bartley is the best; he uses humour to make class interesting and he truly is a brilliant man. He isn't the hardest marker, but you do have to have clear points and be a proficient writer to receive good grades. Skipping his class isn't an issue as his lectures are fun to be in, and he also gives marks for attendance and participation

Comment:

I took my first year english with Prof. Bartley and I could not recommend him more. His class is challenging but well worth what you learn from his lectures and his critique on writing assignments. One of the 5 papers from all year (a 6 credit course) was a re-write of a previous paper.

I've taken several classes from Professor Bartley, and he is one of the best teachers I've ever had. Courteous, helpful, insightful You won't regret taking a course from him. Discussion is important for him, and he really makes it work. Film class especially good

Will is a wonderful prof. Hilarious, knows his stuff and cares about his students. The material for the class he chose is interesting and relevant to the course. Highly recommend taking an english class from him.

It was an honour to be in this class. I loved every minute of it. What I didn't expect was that he would be so humorous.

This is a great class--great films, some of them (like Bringing Up Baby amazingly good); great instructor--polite, funny, insightful man whose enthusiasm is infectious. Could answer emails a little more quickly

Comment:

I found it hard to focus in his class, due to his monotone voice. He got distracted easily and would often lose his thought in the middle of a sentence. He was also not very clear on assignments and would take forever to return marks. On the other hand, he did have a sense of humour and was a easy and fair marker on papers.

Very nice professor, extremely understanding should unforeseen circumstances arise. Very enthusiastic about what he teaches, which is amazing, as other profs aren't nearly as interesting and charismatic.

Very interesting prof. He was really into his subject matter (intro to film) and very passionate. He provided us with extra films because he wanted us to have the best experience possible. Would recommend him and his class. Very funny.

Comment:

I had poetry class. He seems nice but he always has the same facial expression which scares me. His class is highly led by class discussions. All the assignments were take-home which was awesome! If you take notes while he is talking, really helps. He made me love poems, i never used to! Its a shocker. haha Marks not tough and not easy. Good prof.

Really good prof. He provides a lot of time to work on essays, and if you are having some trouble he's always willing to help.

Comment:

Extremely boring class, what is expected from the student is very unclear. Marks VERY hard and his feedback is useless (if you can even read it). I never wanted to take english in the first place and this prof made me hate english class even more. Probably a nice dude but bad prof overall.

Comment:

Very good Prof! He does not tell you what to think; rather he prefers students to lead discussions and share their opinions regarding the films viewed weekly in class. This is difficult class to get into and it's easy to see why. The subject (intro to film) is interesting and Prof. Bartley makes studying in depth enjoyable.

Comment:

Great Prof!In class discussion is key to understanding works studied but I did not contribute too terribly much and still received most of the participation marks just for being there. He has a fantastic sense of humour and knows how to poke fun at students without being mean about it. Exams are extremely fair and gives lots of feedback on essays.

He is an amazing prof! He is very intelligent and helpful. He is clear with how he marks for assignments and quizzes. I cannot wait to take another class with him.
