Comment:

What a great professor! He's intelligent, funny, and engaging. I enjoy the fact that he's memorized so many poems and that he really helps students engage in the literature. He's also a bit flexible in that he lets students choose whether to write papers or sit for in-class exams on the texts. That was extremely helpful to me.

This guy is nuts, but I love him. Even though I'm an English major, I was NOT looking forward to Brit Lit, at 9am no less. Steve made it fun, and even thuogh I rarely did the readings, I scored well on all of in-class exams.

Great class. He gave us lots of prompts and we wrote tons of poems. He's really a good poet too. He put his stuff out there with us in groups. I liked the walkarounds and the workshops a lot.

Comment:

He's kind of a harsh grader. You have to take a bunch of quizzes on the reading and i didn't have time to always read ahead or whatever so it was probably my faul. The material is kind of boring but he's funny and mkaes it better than it was.

Great prof! Showed lots of stuff like pictures on powerpoint. It was cool seeing paintings from the time. He had a lot of history in the class to help understand the readings. He's really funny too.

Comment:

Dr. Klepetar is a fun teacher whose lectures are usually interesting. He's not afraid to put himself out there (for possible humiliation) which makes him endearing and funny. He has a good sense of humor, and an interest in his subject! 6 quizzes, lowest grade dropped, 3 papers, and a final. Not bad at all. Very helpful guy, moderate grader.

Comment:

I definitely recommend taking a class with him if you ever get the chance; he’s really helpful when you have questions and he’s got a great sense of humor. He makes a class that has the potential to be grueling a lot of fun! I advise getting a tape recorder and recording his lectures; it’s amazing how much more you can learn just by going back and

Comment:

Klepetar made an English class for a non-major, dare I say, it.. Fun? Easy class, one book packed with interesting stories and poems, backed by his ability to bring the stories alive through lecture. Quizzes are easy and he is not too tough a grader on papers - but you will actually learn something. Very helpful outside class, too. Recommended!

Great class! I wrote a ton of poems and he gave me really good feedback on everything I wrote. He responds in like a day or even sometimes less and he actually shows you how to make your poems better and he asks what you think. Best online class I've had yet.

He is an excellent teacher, does not put you down if you write something that is not working or is cliche. He points it out to you. He also is very encouraging and a friendly man.
