Don't worry prof. Bill, I won't forget you! Hands down best professor in the English department--that I can say this with confidence says a lot about him, because I've only ever had two. DePaul is a little drier without him.

Comment:

Professor Bill is gone now, but he was probably the finest Writing, Rhetoric and Discourse teacher in the last ten years. Unfortunately, he will not be missed by his colleagues. Perhaps some students will remember him.

Comment:

Professor Bill's class was my favorite so far at Depaul.  All the essay topics are very interesting and he is very helpful towards his students.  I would reccomend him to everyone but I beleive he is retiring at the end of the year so take his class quickly.

Comment:

Prof. Bill's class was definitely a good one. Some days were kinda boring but it wasn't too bad. Homework load isn't bad at all, and if you have any problems with what to write he'll help you. He's a funny guy to talk to too!

Comment:

He's like a character out of a Richard Ford novel. Urbane, witty and bi-polar. Great fun and one learns so much in his course.

Comment:

This professor is not the nicest guy, but his class is fine. Homework load isn't bad... 2 pg. Compositions every week, with research paper @ the end; no midterm or final. He does provide really interesting readings and documentaries. I would recommend his class, but don't expect a really funny and cool professor.

he just wants students to think critically. he can be sarcastic and cynical, but just laugh it off. i was having trouble finding sources for my reseach project but he was vary helpful. final reseach paper was about 7 pages...not bad.

Ken Bill is an excellent university instructor because he treats his students like adults and asks them to use their brains.

Ken Bill is quite old, but is an excellent professor. I learned to think in this course, which is more than I can say for so many other courses. Stay with him for the quarter and all will be well.

Professor Bill is the best writing teacher in the department without a doubt. Finally I had a professor that did not just lecture. The course was interesting and entertaining. He has a terrific sense of humor.

Anyone that complains about Prof Bill is soft. He is a very good guy students that moan about him are usually lazy and don't belong in college in the first place. Take his class

Just do the papers and come to class. Portfolio is a must for a B or A. Can go off on tangents, but is a really funny guy.
