Comment:

Took World Lit I and II with him. He's hilarious, lectures are great, and he makes classes fun and enjoyable. He is very outspoken so if you are easily offended, don't be. He has a kind heart and means well. He's a bit of a tough grader but I worked hard and got a B+ and an A- from him. Rather take him than get an easy A. I read from Spark Notes.

Prof Connelly is incredible. I took him for World Lit 1 & 2 and I can say he's passionate about helping students progress. Expect to read, his class isn't fluff but he'll help you along the way. Expect reading, quizzes, a midterm and final. He side tracks often, and seems intimidating in the first class but I really suggest you take him if possible

Comment:

So glad I took his class. He is extremely intelligent and appreciates people who are opinionated and eager to learn. He is interesting and always discussed topics that pertained to life. His journal assignments challenge you in a good way. I'd recommend him for people who actually want to learn something and value lessons in good literature.

He definately seemed intimidating on the first day but he is very easy and keeps things interesting. Although he seems to get distracted a lot, he knows his stuff and really makes the class go by fast.

Although his teaching style is a bit different, we loved his class. Ask him about anything in history, literature, film, he will have an instant answer for you!

Funny Guy. Makes subject matter interesting. Took Lit. over the summer, so we only got time to read half the suggested reading material which was awesome. Weekly Quizzes a bit tricky but you can redeem yourself on the paper. Would DEF. take him for Lit. II if he were teaching it.
