Excellent teacher. A harsh grader, but a fair grader. Very kind and helpful as well, and helps direct class discussions rather than lecturing for an hour. Reading is pretty intense but overall a very good teacher.

Top-notch professor, but beware: the reading load for this section is hardcore. Take this class alongside classes with less reading so you're not overwhelmed. Otherwise, Spurgin is super helpful, amazingly smart, and an awesome teacher. If you have issues w/ participation, talk to him ASAP - it really matters and he'll work with you.

The Teaching Company lectures he did on "The Art of Reading" were the most helpful thing I've ever encountered to improve my writing. This guy is the best.

Wonderful teacher, but it can be hard to get A or B on your papers in his class. He is a great advisor and professor. He is also very funny!

Spurgin is more than willing to meet with students outside of class and easily clarifies any questions. He's not only hilarious, he's smart.

A great teacher, particularly with his upper level classes. Not a bad advisor either, although he keeps his distance in a weird way when you're one-on-one with him.
