In terms of teaching english literature, professor Fletcher is really amazing. You have to do the reading, but if you do the class becomes very enjoyable. You feel like you are learning every lecture and professor Fletcher is always there to give you help if you need it.

I was a little worried about taking a class from Professor Fletcher because of some of the negative reviews I saw on here, but he is AMAZING!! The most thorough and caring prof I've ever had. He truly wants you to succeed! You just have to put in some work . So sad I cant take a class with him this semester.

Professor Fletcher is one of the greatest teachers I have had in the English area, he provides a lot of feedback and grades work in a very timely manner. You will actually learn in this class, there's a lot of reading but if you do all of it you should be fine. Attending his office hours to review some of the more advanced readings will benefit you

Comment:

Professor Fletcher is truly passionate about literature-I almost wish his class was longer so he could continue to give his insight on the assigned readings. He deserves to teach at a prestigious university. There are many pieces of literature covered, so just be aware if you don't like reading. Enroll in his class if possible; he's amazing.

Fletcher is definitely the prof. you want to take if you have a lot of writing in your future. He prepares you to write the essays he assigns and even lets you email him your papers before they are due for feedback. But NOT an easy A!! you have to work very hard if you want to succeed and put a lot of time into the essays and homework.

Comment:

At first impression Professor Fletcher might seem strict, but he quickly loosens up as the classes go on. He is very thorough with his grading, mentioning numerous times that he reads through your essays 3+ times. He is a tough grader but gives great feedback for you to take into account on your next essay. He WILL make you a better writer.

Professor Fletcher is a very thorough teacher. He gives helpful feedback when you are wrong. He gives straight forward homework assignments that coincide well with the readings. So, if you read the material, the odds are in your favor. If you don't do the readings though, you will mess up on the 20 daily quizzes and the 4 tests. 4 extra quizzes

Accessible outside of class, funny teacher overall. Seems awkward, but you quickly realize he is just the way he is in a not awk way. Has fun in class, daily quizzes, 4 tests open book, multiple choice final, hw two pages due every two weeks. SUPER doable.

This is my second time taking Prof. Fletcher and I'm signed up for a class next semester as well! Super fun classes; he's interested in what he's teaching and it makes you more excited to learn. Daily quizzes-5 questions, very easy if you did the reading. Tests are all open note except for the final, no midterm. Homeworks are due every other week!

Comment:

Fletcher is a really good professor because he really loves the topic he teaches. The class is a bit boring. Quizzes every day in class. I feel like I actually got smarter; not just learning facts. I'm not really sure what I was expecting, but most of the works assigned were very thought provoking, but others I fell asleep while reading.

Professor Fletcher is an excellent teacher he love his subject and knows everything about it even down to the weird facts. He was very helpful in his office hours as well as in class. He has quite a few stories that make class pretty fun. His homework is great and the in class tests and quizzes are super easy. Honestly, the best teacher there!

Prof. Fletcher is a great professor. Knows the material and teaches it extremely well. He is shy and stern, which an make him seem unapproachable. When you go into office hours he's extremely helpful. He's a very smart person and is very well educated.

Comment:

A good teacher but his format gets a little dull if you take him two semesters in a row. He is passionate about Eng. Lit. but he goes through it so fast I feel like I missed a lot of the value. I don't know if I would take again. I know he is naturally reserved but I found him difficult to talk with. Maybe a personality thing.

A lot of reading. And I mean a lot if you want to pass. You can sparknote all you want, it's not enough to get as many points as possible for daily quizzes. Don't let that scare you though, they're pretty easy. Spends all lectures going over the stories you read to prepare you for the tests. Just read.

This is the best teacher I have ever had. His passion for literature drove the syllabus and we read amazing literary classics. Don't take him if you're just filling a requirement. Do take him if you are open to idea expansion and personal growth.

This is not an easy class by any means. In fact, in his syllabus Fletcher states numerous times that his course is "difficult," and he isn't lying. But, he will help you in every way he can. He provides outlines for the essays, and will look at your drafts and send you feedback of how to improve. My writing improved a lot this semester.

Comment:

I took this professor for several English and Literature classes at FLC. He is definitely one of my favorite professors there! He is very passionate about what he does, and, if you actually do the ready and participate in class discussions, you will succeed. He is shy, which may come across as unapproachable, but if you ask for help he will do so.

Very difficult but it was totally worth it because I feel like I learned more in one semester than I have in all my English classes in High School combined. Essays will make you really think and analyze so many different aspects of life.

He is a very helpful teacher, but I wouldn't recommend his class if you're looking for an easy A but if you're willing to learn and work hard then I would recommend his class, while it is not an easy class he is a very dedicated teacher and will do whatever he can to help you he expects a lot out of you but he is a fair grader
