A nice, decent fellow, very smart, but with no energy or enthusiasm. I got an easy A, so I reccomend Barry! Go and see him in his office hours, he's an interesting guy.

Comment:

im just warning all of you, this man is so uninvolved with his students that he doesnt even have an email address! there's basically no syllabus, you cant understand what he says (if he even shows up to class) and he doesnt explain anything, just rereads passages over. DO NOT TAKE HIM, he really shouldnt even be teaching!

Nice old man, just wants for his students to like him. does mumble a little, but if you're paying attention, it's not a problem. easy class if you actually go and listen to what he has to say...learned a lot from him

AVOID!

Comment:

He must have been high when he graded my papers. Not clear at all on what he wants on a paper but if you hand it in on time he doesn't seem to care what it's about. Basically he's there just to watch movies. Bring food and something quite to do.

Comment:

Where do I start. He was absent on a regular basis. He did not discuss the palys that we read but instead showed movies of them. He doesn't make it clear what he wants from you in regards to an essay. And he didn't even make a syllabus! Beware.

He is extremely easy. If you do not get an A in his class, you should drop out of college.

Comment:

Bort was absent on a regular basis; he was out at least once every other week, if not once a week! Students told me it was because he has alcohol problems. Very easy grader. But I didnt learn a thing.

Comment:

he doesn't do alot of lecturing but his choice of books are good, but you're usually left to do the reading yourself, shows alot of good movies, if you can learn by yourself and like reading alot, good teacher to take.

a little boring yes, but a nice man who feels his students take advatage of him ( they do) if approached he is can be extremly helpful, insightful and easygoing. Doesnt take attendance but knows who shows up.

He is not that bad. It may feel like class is real easy but if you really listen to Prof. Bort's comments you will learn from him. His Irish Literature class is great.
