Comment:
At SUNY Oneonta he is a good professor. He knows how to write and expects his students to be want to become better writers. Will help those who struggle and allow re-writes on essays. Huge on introductions. If youre a solid writer and good with criticism youll do great. Good and approachable guy!

Bob Bensen overall is okay. Often times he goes off topic, and doesn't really stick to the syllabus. Gives good feedback on papers, but is a harsh grader. He is sort of lenient on late work , and allows re-writes for assignments also.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. His classes are boring and you will regret it every time. he gives many essays and writes mean things on your papers. The essays took forever and they were not easy. I would not recommended it unless its necessary. Overall a harsh teacher.

Bensen was pretty lay back. He helped me write a Thesis I was proud of. He was even nice enough to give me a book on the subject that was over 100yo. You just have to go to his office and he'll definitely help you out.

Comment:
Bensen is a great person, funny and insightful, but not very clear when it comes to teaching. He needs to focus the class more, because while it's open to a million possibilities, it's just too open without as much focus.We spent two months analyzng The Tempest.It was a bit much.Overall he gets a B.

Very funny, pretty laid back. He wants you to do well, but is willing to fail you if you don't put in the effot. Also willing to work with you, though. A little monotonous at times, but the sense of humor more than makes up for it.

Any professor who appreciates the art of dancing and combines that with poetry is cool in my book! Prof Benson also found the coolest and cheapest book ever for his Native Amer Lit class. I still cherish it!
