Comment:

My favorite class of that semester. I found Farrell to be very helpful when you took the initiative to ask and I genuinely enjoyed the class discussions. I did have trouble understanding what certain questions were asking at times, but I'd manage to work it out 9 times out of 10.

Comment:

RUN AWAY!!! the course contained nothing but useless information that did not fit the course description what so ever. the course was just a huge waste of time. the tests were impossible. the materials made no sense. forget about talking to him. my biggest regret thus far in my college career was not dropping this course...

Comment:

You need to take the initiative to get help. He will comment if he thinks you should talk to him though. He likes it when you participate in the class discussions, but be prepared to be corrected if your wrong. Definitely knows the subject and can help you analyze the text. Doesn't ask too much of the papers you write, just that you put in effort.

Comment:

I have taken Dr. Farrell for three classes. He expects students to take the initiative in getting help. If you're a responsible, intelligent person, you'll enjoy his classes. He banks a lot on class discussions. If you decide to join in them, be prepared - he'll tell you when you're wrong. I found that helpful, if a little intimidating.

Comment:

Dr.Farrel is really helpful, you just have to make sure you ask. He always helped me, even if I e-mailed him a question at 5pm the night before something was due, he usually always got back to me. Read the books! He likes when you participate and have knowledge of what you were supposed to read. Overall great teacher. I enjoyed his class

If you say anthing bad about this man, you don't know him. He is helpful, respectful, amazingly intelligent, and an all around nice person. He teaches you what you should learn, and he loves what he does. He goes above and beyond.

Comment:

Dr. Farrell is so great. Anyone who says he isn't helpful, obviously doesn't know Dr. Farrell very well. If you talk to him, he goes above and beyond to help you or just listen. and he truly tries to help his students succeed.

Comment:

One of the most unhelpful professors I have ever encounterd. He has squashed my desire to become a writer with his complete lack of respect for his students. His snarling nostril laugh is appalling and quite frankly very rude. Do not take Farrell if you 1) Have any faith in people 2)Have any faith in teachers 3)If you have any faith in yourself.

Comment:

I got an A in this class. I don't know how. The material is completely incomprehensible and his meandering explanations don't help! I DID NOT PASS a single test in the class. He can't even give a straight answer. Take COLLEGE GRAMMAR instead (unless you're some kind of masochist!) - DON'T CHANCE IT!

He really wants to see you succeed, he's not there to make you fail, he wants to see you get something out of his class.

Comment:

Really cares about making sure you learn. He is very fair with his grading, and although you'll have to work hard for an A, it'll be worth it when you get it.
