Dr. Wolfe (though he does not like being called that, lol) is an amazing professor. He is compassionate, cares and has a completely outside-the-box class. Possibly my fav class yet.

Dr. Wolfe's teaching method is definitely different from what I am used to, but he makes the class fun and helps you learn about yourself. If you're looking for a class to be a stress relief from your others, definitely take this class with him.

Comment:

He is a non-traditional professor and engaged students to think about issues and topics that most choose to ignore. This class was very informative in ways which stretch beyond just contemporary analysis of Christianity and it drew in other religions to bring a broader scope into a person's knowledge thereof. There is no lecture, rather discussion.

Comment:

This guy is great! Teaching methods and grading scale are not like other professors. Reserves the right to fail you after 4 unexcused absences but this is not set in stone (I missed 5 and still made an A.) Open-ended assignments foster individual creativity. Come to class regularly, discuss stuff, and put forth effort on assigments and you'll pass!

I find him to be a peculair man but still a pretty cool cat! Books for class were boring but activities challanged me. I learned more about myself from this class than anything else. Very nice man. Really cares about his students and is also very fair. Would take again

Comment:

This is unusual that you don't have to really study for the class but he makes it so interesting that you find yourself studying when there are no exams. His approach is so unusual in a way that makes it intriguing. He is by far the best professor in Marshall. You learn things from him that I wish I would have known years ago.

amazing. I am going to try to take him again. I love his grading scale and nontraditional approach to teaching. you learn more and actually want to read the material. If only the rest of my classes could be this good.

Comment:

This was a night class, and he didn't let you out early that often. Very awesome down to earth guy. A lot of class discussion. This class was easy, tests are short answer. Just go to class and act like you care at least, and you will do just fine. Highly recommend if you need a literature class.

I miss this class!I learned to write and love poetry,and sharing it really brought the class together. Wolfe is brilliant,mellow, and funny. His unconventional style of teaching is refreshing.I didn't learn much about British lit.,but I learned more about what it is to be human. Take him!!

I am an English-Literature major, and Dr. Wolfe's one of the motivations that keep me in that field of study. He is a wonderfully brillant individual, and I would like to thank him for being open-minded.
