Comment:

The professor is an easy grader. He is old school but you will enjoy this class. Overall you get 5 quizzes, 1 (2-page) paper, and 2 exams. He is that geeky professor who is in love with books, but because of him i actually started to read now. In class he will not pick on you to read its voluntary unless no one participates to read.

Comment:

Well rounded, articulate and critical thinker. He will inspire you to become a critical thinker. Never fear literature again. He breaks it down and relates it with today's world. If you're a slacker, think again. If you want to learn...go for it. It's not difficult if you are in the zone with him.

WORLD LITERATURE. Books are easy and interesting. He gives 5 quizzes and drops lowest. 5 Q's per quiz and gives at least 2 answers during lecture. 1 paper thats not graded just "checked". Fun teacher. Dismisses class early most of time. Gives midterm and exam essay questions a week before exam. An easy A.

VEry good teacher. The books you read are very interesting. He is very down-to-earth and easy to talk to. The midterm and final is writting but he tells you what to expect. Also he gives quizes for every book. He gives a good syllabus at the beggining so you know what your going to do. Def take him if you can.

RD-great.Take him,attend all classes, and LEARN FROM WHAT HE HAS TO SAY. If you fail his class (he helps) then it is YOU that is a dumb-a**! Sorry, just had to mark that point! If you don't want to learn: why spending your parents $$$ to LEARN NOTHING? Give them a break and drop out of KU!Urparents will adore you for truth!Dontwasteotherstimen$!

I think he is a great professor- not too good on emails though(do not expect immediate response). I loved his classes (took two) and learned a lot. Very interesting lectures- he inspired me and helped with choosing my major! Outstanding person.

Big on Russia and Woody Allen. ESL students look for another instructor.
