Comment:
His lectures consisted of giving us a summary of what we already read. Very, very boring. Grading is kind of difficult, but if you take notes, you should be okay. Do not recommend if you already find Shakespeare boring.

Comment:
This prof will leave you hurting. Original ideas are met with poor grades. I went to this professor several times for help on papers and after following his advice I still recieved below a C because he didn't agree with my arguments. The only thing that kept me from failing was the exams which I recieved high marks which proved I knew my materials.

Totally, ruthlessly amazing. Class discussion is stimulating and entertaining- Bergeron is a distinguished Shakespearean scholar who really knows his stuff. Doesn't put up with drivel or laziness- don't take this class if you're looking for an easy ride. Is a very difficult grader and will really whip your writing into shape.

Comment:
Bergeron is very stuck-up and one of the hardest teachers I have ever had... and not in a good way. Leads good class discussions, but then expects you to read one of Shakespeare's plays on your own and understand and grasp every literary concept... very unfair. Grade does not reflect amount of work put in. Avoid him as a teacher at all costs.

Don't let that smile fool you. Bergeron is a mean grader. He reels you in with assurance during class, and suddenly you get back something you turned in... and your life flashes before your eyes.

Comment:
He's a jerk. He won't tell you what he wants and just expects you to be able to read his mind. He's deregatory towards views of Shakespeare that don't fit into his preconcieved notions. He creates unnecessary work and is pretty much just ill-natured.

He is all smiles in class and then is the devil when he grades. He doesn't tell you what he expects and then grades hardcore on his own opinion instead of actual academic integrity.

Bergeron expects a lot from his students, which is a nice change from many of the other professors I've had at KU. He is also a very entertaining lecturer and has a great grasp on his subject area.
