Comment:
Pat Day is one of my favorite people in general, he's awesome, and super, super smart. I learned more than I thought I ever could about movies in 290, and have really discovered a passion I have for thinking about them. He gives great feedback that's really helpful for papers and learning in general. One of my favorite profs!

Pat is awesome. He is an engaging speaker and fosters really good discussion. Highly recommended. He is also really easy to talk to outside of class, though sometimes adorably awkward.

Smart but rambling, incoherent, and uninspiring. Assigns papers vaguely and then grades according to specifications that were never mentioned.

I had a lot of classes with Prof. Day and was never disappointed. Funny, approachable, modest when he deserves to be arrogant, interesting lectures and knows his field extremely well. I wish I could watch his classes on TV. He is one of the best, hands down.

Comment:
Day provided me with the most helpful comments on papers of my college career. He seems honestly interested in helping a student explore ideas and grow rather than simply going through the motions of teaching a class. Interesting and lighthearted.

wow, what an awesome guy. just listening to him talk is mesmerizing - he could be making it all up, but it's interesting stuff. is he brilliant, or is he faking it? does it matter? his instructions on how he wanted us to write opened up a whole new way of thinking for me. and watching silence of the lambs, the godfather etc. FOR CLASS? bring it on.

omg he is SO funny. and SO brilliant. i love just listening to him speak. he is very into discussions, tries to give it some kind of structure but also really cares about everything students say. GREAT commenting on papers, even though his grading system can take some getting used to. BRILLIANT GUY!

Prof. Day is an excellent professor (says English major me). Clear, concise, and has a sense of humor. Not one for groupie-student ego stroking either; can agree to disagree. (course # may be wrong)
