Poorly photo-copied handouts of a general opera guide, plus disorganized presentation of material does not rate high in my books. Sometimes retirement means just that: Retire, sir.

Terrible professor. He has a condescending manner, and is notoriously difficult to track down.. even during office hours. Run away!

Dr. DeRoo is enthusiastic and his lectures are both interesting and entertaining. He has a commanding voice (in both English and Old Norse), and an engaging personality. Highly recommended.

Harvey teaches straight-up English. No bull. I find it annoying that so many English teachers use their classes as platforms for voicing their socio-political ideologies.

I don't know where your rating came from. Dr. Deroo was an AMAZING prof. He is so passionate and you can't help but love the way he says poetry. I hate english with a passion, and can honestly say that now I have a new found respect for poetry.

Comment:

He is a Great Lecturer, but a rather absent minded and disorganized TA(who does mark hard), but you would be too if you had that many responsibilities. Take his classes for the simple pleasure of listening to him speak.

Engaging, witty, challenging, bluejeans-clad hero cuts a romantic figure in the English Department. He forgave more of my sauciness than any other prof.
