Great class. Not an easy professor, but I found him to be know his subject and to be quite interesting. Would only recommend if you are into English.

Comment:
The 3 classes I've taken with Rich Martin have been both the most challenging AND the most fun classes I've taken in my English career. He may be tough and have high expectations, but that only makes you try harder. The guy knows his stuff, and he'll make sure you do too. Sometimes he's a little... blunt. But grow a backbone, people. And get a sense of humor. The guy's hilarious, and I'm sad to know he's leaving Cornell this year. He will be missed!

Will make you cry. I felt so insulted and belittled after this class that I felt like charging the school for resultant therapy.

Wouldn't reccommend him for an easy pass for ENG 111, but for anyone who really wants to learn something and is willing to put the time in, he's awesome. One of the best at Cornell!

Awesome prof! I have had two classes with him- they are always discussion based and he is always more interested in students' opinions. I have NEVER been bored in one of his classes, and they are very rewarding in terms of all the work you do.

His specialty is American authors. He is especially good at teaching Kate Chopin. I could do without his Faulkner discussions, but then I could really do without Faulkner!

He is a hard prof, but he knows his material and teaches it well. Some don't like him b/c he doesn't hold back from reprimanding you when you've messed up, but at least he won't let students get away with stuff they shouldn't. Has great sense of humor!

I didn't learn a thing in this course. It consisted of him giving us his opinions about how evil we are for using the world's resources and him telling stories of when he was younger.

Comment:
He will not pause from belittling a student. He has a good way of showing his superiority over others. Appeared to show a general dislike for those who disagreed with his opinions.
