Comment:

A really interesting and dedicated teacher. He tells really funny stories. I didn't find him boring at all. He is brilliant at analyzing poetry and has a fresh, inciteful and unique approach in this analysis. I learned loads from him.

Thank goodness he is retiring. At least he won't be able to poison the next generation of English students at the U of A. Ugh.

He is honestly a good teacher. He is fair and considerate. If you're really into poetry, you'll really enjoy his class and how he runs it.

Comment:

I found the class material interesting, and the course was easy enough, but the man himself is extremely boring. He didn't have a lot of insights to add, and had the students do much of his work for him.

Well...I'm completely turned off of poetry. You think Ben Stein has a monotonous voice?

Agreee with the self-centered remark. Also, he was a bit of a snob about which were "good" books.
