Comment:

Professor Hart knows his stuff. He does lecture for most of the class period, but his lectures are so engaging that the time passes quickly. There are only two assignments in the class, so you really have time to get into the reading and discussions without being overloaded with busywork.

Comment:

Dr. Hart is by far one of the best professorsif not the best in the English department. Class discussion is entertaining, he is clear in his expectations and how he grades. If a student finishes their program as an English major, s/he has missed out on one the absolute gems at the university.

Comment:

Theory is a very difficult topic that he breaks down into digestible doses. He acknowledges that the texts are hard and he reminds students that it's an introductory class, so we don't have to master any critical theory.

Comment:

I couldn't imagine a better professor for the subject--modernist and post-modernist lit. I actually pretty much hated all the material, but in class, his enthusiasm made it interesting. You have to show up: A) because the material is so difficult to grasp on your own B) because he's so entertaining and fun. He's a tough grader, very picky.

Very challenging English class in the best possible way. THE best CSULB Eng prof because of his teaching style. Even if you don't do the readings, you learn so much every class. No time wasted. Group work was pleasant! 2hr class flew by so fast every day. Patient, caring professor who builds students up! Rewarding feeling after tackling this class.

Dr. Hart is wonderful! I took this class over the summer, and it went by very quickly. He leaves good feedback on the essays. The grade for this class was broken up in four parts: Essay 1 (20%), Essay 2 (30%), Final Essay (30%), Participation(20%). If you show up you'll get the participation points :) His lectures are very interesting!

Comment:

Dr Hart is hands-down the best prof I've had at CSULB. He cares about his students understanding the material. 696 is a beast of a course. It's all theory, and sometimes the language becomes overwhelming. He will answer any questions, any time in person or by email. He's got a great sense of humor and is overall a great professor.

Fantastic professor. Very clear and organized. You must read the day's material to get a good participation mark but it's such an engaging class that you want to. He picks novels well. He made me become an ecocritic! Highly recommend this professor.

i learned so much in his class! he is so kind, helpful, and he is simply brilliant. the material can get a bit boring, but he had my attention most of the time. i honestly thought he was a bit lenient on grading, despite what some of the other comments say. must take him!!

Comment:

Every English major MUST take Dr. Hart. He is--hands down--the best. Extremely friendly, helpful, eager for you to learn, kind, very intelligent...I can't say enough good things. He is a prof bc he is passionate about teaching, not bc he needs to feed his ego. TAKE HIM!!!

Comment:

Hart is a fair teacher. He grades harsh, but I found him to be more fair than other egotistical teachers I've had who want you to regurgitate what they say in papers. Hart is passionate about poetry and he makes you interested in the subject. Nice guy.

Dr. Hart is the best!!! He is not hard for people who are willing to put effort into it. He's challenging, but you really feel like you learn a LOT from him. He's a really great teacher. Never boring, never mean.

Comment:

Prof Hart is the ticket for poetry! I didn't even want to take this and he made it fun/clear/interesting. He's passionate, knowledgeable, helpful if you seek him out. Tests= do the short readings, keep up on notes, you'll do great! He's a little tougher on grading essays. No bull. Think & ask his advice--he'll help. Awesome Prof!!

Comment:

Great professor! Tough but very smart and fun. The homework helps to understand the larger issues at hand. Despite not loving theory, I ENJOYED this class. If you're having trouble he's very encouraging and helps you get through it. I've taken him for another class and loved that as well. One of my favorite professors EVER!
