Comment:
I had to miss a test because my daughter was sick with walking pneumonia. I brought a doctors excuse where I had taken her to the doctor. He said it didnt count because it wasnt me that was sick! He told me I should have gotten someone else to take her to the doc! I thought he was very rude and not understanding at all!

You have to take this teacher! He sounds like nicholas cage and is very helpful. The class is easy if you read the material and participate and understand the discussion in class. He's easy on the eyes as well.

Worst professor I have ever had in my 2 years at UAB. In my opinion, he is very rude and sarcastic. His voice also annoyed me!

Comment:
I hated this class. He allows you to express your interpretation of the lesson in class but disregards it on the discussion parts of the exams. You are to regurgitate what his opinions are. Suddenly all his thoughts are fact and there was never any right or wrong in discussion in class.

Comment:
Dr. Guinn is funny and intelligent. However, he is also extremely opinionated, oftentimes his opinions overshadow opposing thoughts. His exams are pretty tough, consisting of quotations, definitions, and an essay. Overall, it was an enjoyable class. Unfortunately, the text and class structure are a bit monotonous.

Comment:
He is a good teacher who loves his subject. I hated not being able to pick my own subject to write on. Always interesting topics and great discussions. He is extremly hard on grading your essays. There is no room for error or you pretty much get a C. I loved coming to class but dreaded every essay. He will not scale anyone's essay.

Comment:
Dr. Guinn's classes consist of nothing but class discussions of works read for homework. If you don't give comments in class regularly he calls you out for it. There is no review for tests and his pop quizzes are pretty easy if your not five minutes late and miss them.

Great Teacher. Very interesting and funny. The class is a little bit of work with 2 small 1 page papers, 1 large 5 page paper, a 5 min. presentation, ten 1 or 2 word quizzes, a mid term, and final. He also gives a grade for class participation. He has a pretty sharp eye on papers but his test aren't too bad.

He's a great teacher. Make sure u do ur reading cuz he does give pop quizzes. His paper topics can be difficult, but he's a light grader, so dont worry. I had a B in the class and I hate American Lit therefore I surely didnt dedicate a lot of my time to it, but still got a good grade. He's big on participation so always give your opinion.

He's a really fun teacher. He likes to have a lot of discussion and class participation. His critical responses and paper topics are not very clear, but he is willing to help you if you have trouble. He is somewhat a strict grader, but the quizzes and midterm were fairly easy.

Very good class, enjoyed lectures. Good sense of humor, as well as style! His paper topics are kinda hard, but even if you semi-enjoy English, you will do well, b/c he explains the information well.

He's a funny guy, but a fairly tough grader, if you are the type that likes to get A's. He takes his job very seriously, but tries to make the class more interesting to students by choosing topics like SUVs, media, Fahrenheit 911, etc.
