Comment:

He can come off as intimidating at first, but stick with it, it's not that bad. I ended enjoying the class more than I anticipated. Dr. Mayer is serious about the class, but still brings some humor back into it. Make sure to be prepared, he calls on people at random.

Comment:

Dr. Mayer is a fantastic teacher. I learned a lot in his Brit Lit 1 class, and would definitely recommend him to anyone who is planning to take this class. His class requires quite a bit of reading. Be prepared before lectures because he will call on you at random. His lectures are always very interesting and insightful.

Comment:

Dr. Mayer is the best professor I've ever had. He started my infatuation with literature and has been an integral part of my undergraduate career ever since. Don't register if you don't want to work hard and participate in/outside of class time. But if you feel prepared to tackle the material and his standards, it will profoundly change your life

He is arrogant and obnoxious. He is one of those people who thinks he is brilliant and should be a famous writer, but he's not, so is forced to teach.

Comment:

He's a nice guy. As a person I like him a lot, but as a professor, I couldn't stand him. He made lecture interesting, but nothing was ever good enough for him. I worked hard and he was never pleased. His essay questions are ridiculous. He expects his students to be experts on film, even if it's your first film class. He's an impossible professor

Comment:

I took one of his film courses and really enjoyed it. I learned a great deal and he always seemed excited to teach. He did push his students and didn't just handout grades, but he was easy to talk to, so if you needed help he was there. He's an English prof so there was a lot of writing. You must go everyday if you want an A or B but it's fun so go

Comment:

He is a hard professor who makes you scared just to be called on. However, he made the class interesting. I think I deserved a "C" in the course because the tests were challanging, however, he was very helpful when I went to his office hours with suggestions on the tests and he will go over your essay before you turn it in. Challenging,but worth it

Dr. Mayer is awesome! He can be a tough essay grader, but if you put in the effort he will notice and reward you for it. This is a great class that really broadened my knowledge of great cinema.

Comment:

Great professor. Expects a lot, but if you have decent work ethic you will do well. Knows his stuff and he will call on you to make sure you know yours. Lot of reading, but that is to be expected. I've had bad English professors who were difficult and easy, and he is one that is difficult but FAIR. Would take another class from him if I could.

Absolutely brilliant. Very challenging but if you show up to class, seem interested, and speak with him personally about things then you will be fine. He grades extremely hard but is fair and pushes you to make your work the best that it can be.

Comment:

Very intelligent man who knows his stuff. Challenging and interesting, but somewhat neurotic. When it comes to papers, he tends to be controlling, as if there's only one way to write a paper, his way. Fools beware: he won't suffer you gladly.

Criticism is not as interesting a topic to me as lit., but Dr. Mayer was very interesting. He was always well-prepared and very helpful, and I enjoyed the course.
