Absolutely terrible. Took this course as an institutional requirement. Ten page paper on the Blithedale Romance in 1 week...and rumors about a 12 page final....I have other more important classes to deal with. English literature is not important and never will be

He's a good teacher and stimulated my interest in the class by explaining a lot. He really knows his stuff, I don't understand the people that rip him apart on this website??? GIVE HIM A RAISE!

WOOOW. DO NOT TAKE. he is the worst teacher possible. like ever. example: wrote a paper literally 20 min before class and got a b, then worked of a paper for about 2 days and received a d+. He also has worn the same white blazer 4 days in a row. just suck up to him if u get him and maybe you will get by if he is in the mood

I went to every class and got an A on every paper yet I got an A- for my final grade. Tried to schedule meetings with him forever to find out why I got an A- and he contiinually dodged me. I'm still bitter about it!

Very hard grader. You could pass in a masterpiece of an essay and still only give a C at best. Big mood swings. Gets angry and will call a student out and marginalize them when a student will cough or sneeze just once durring a presentation

Comment:
pretty easy. he is clear about what he wants from you. if you read (or read spark notes) and listen to what he says in class you'll be fine. there are three papers. i didn't do so well on the first one but he was very clear about what he wanted me to do to improve. you'll do fine if you use plenty of quotes to support your argument.

Horrible. Not helpful. Doesn't care. Slurs words. Seriously. Leaves shirt unbuttoned and gross curly hair pops through it. One time he was writing on the board with his back to us and on the back of his suit coat was a footprint! Did someone step on him? Worst teacher I ever had. I managed to avoid him until Senior Seminar.

Makes us read books that upper level English majors should read, not freshman in a WRITING class. He's a very hard grader. Make sure not to sit near him, he smells.

He was so annoyong as a teacher, very scattered, goign every which way when you are supposed to be taking notes. He will ask people if they have any input and instead of listening what people have to say, he gives his own answer, which is the ONLY one he wants back from you on a test.

You will do better in his classes if you wear tight sweaters and short skirts-- and that is ironic since half the classes he offer count as womens studies classes. He makes a really good case for getting rid of tenure. Total slob. And he smells. Avoid at all costs.

Great teacher. Once you adapt to his teaching style you'll do well. Journals count for a lot, but they're not due until the end of the semester. Pay attention and take good notes, his tests are open notes. He make look messy and unkempt, but he's super intelligent and knows his stuff.

One of the worst on campus. Doesn't care about students or himself. Male students fare better but digs short skirt watching. Unorganized and unkempt. Knows his stuff - if he's interested. Choose other prof if you can.

He doesn't teach. He just grades. He is just there to pick up a pay check. He taught class with a shoe mark on the back of his jacket - like someone stepped on him. His hair is messy, shirts unbuttoned, untucked - doesn't care. Sips flask in hall.

He is really picky, I had to go against everything I learned in High School to get an A in his class.
