If you can take this professor, I would highly recommend him. One of the most intelligent people I have ever met. He makes literature interesting and draws analysis out of you that is surprising. An absolutely wonderful man and professor. Makes class interesting and enjoyable.

Comment:

Took his Bible course. He is an intellectual being. His exams are quite difficult but if you read beforehand and understand the stories then it is easy. He is a fair grader. There was one essay at about 5-7 pages. There are only 2 exams. Attendance is mandatory. Surprise quizzes should be expected. Taking another course by him next semester.

The depth of this man is only equal to the ocean itself! And he brings you to new heights of learning. The summit of knowledge. He reminds me of Mont Blanc in the Swiss Alps. He will take you far! A true shaman.

Comment:

Prof Nee is a nice guy. He tries to give you credit wherever he can on tests and papers. But the material sucks. It's like a bible class! And if you don't have experience and a background in religion you're just going to be lost and frustrated. Prof. Nee is a good guy-tries to be fair. But the material is AWFUL

Took Intro to Drama w/him and def looked forward to his class. He is a very smart and interesting man, it is obvious he enjoys being a teacher. Read the books and go to class and you are set...going to class is key he docks your grade if you don't. He also enjoys class participation.

This guy is born to teach. He is awesome. Knows everything about mythic structures and gives you important insights into the Biblical texts that are so close to the truth of your own existence you have to pause and reflect. Take him if you want to be on the road to enlightenment.

Comment:

From my past experiences, english professors at this school have been completely horrible, but Nee was a genuinely great professor. He was nice, easygoing, funny, and helpful. The readings for this class were pretty easy and short, and there were only 2 papers, a midterm, and a final. As long as you study what he tells you to, it's not that bad.

Professor Nee is awesome!! He's pretty easy, and very passionate about the subject. If you just go to class and listen to what he says, you'll do fine on the midterms and finals. I think he left, though... I hope not!

We had a midterm and a final, and he droped the lower grade. We also had to do a monologue that replaced the lowest grade on our best exam. Very easy class (although a little dry reading).

Comment:

Made me like Shakespeare. I was a screwball in school, but I still managed to get an A- in this class. He's also into the acting classes, which are pretty fun. I played a sport, too, which makes me dumber by default.
