Comment:

Professor Culler, though a genuine sweet-heart, is not a great teacher. I love poetry but his lectures made me (and many others) fall asleep. His voice drones and is way too quiet. Lecture information isn't helpful for graded material. Also, he doesn't give clear grade criteria so I never felt confident handing in any of my assignments.

Comment:

It felt like I was taking a class with a legend - and I was. For someone as accomplished as he is, I never felt like he was judging me for being new to the major. Poetry recitation was a part of the grade, and he listened dutifully and with a smile. Remembers my name two semesters later. All-around great guy.

Comment:

I took his class a few years ago, and just loved it. Not only was he refreshingly clear and unpretentious, but when he walked in the room in his leather bomber jacket and raked his fingers through his silky silver hair, his uncanny resemblance to Indiana Jones was enough to make anyone go weak in the knees!

Comment:

You will never look at the world the same way after this class. The lecture format is the ideal way to digest dense theoretical texts. Culler makes graspable the obtuse. The work load was extremely manageable, and the grading was fair. This class turned out to be one of the most useful classes I took, and I can't commend Culler highly enough.

Took his lit. theory class a few years back. A bit uncomfortable at lecturing, but always clear and approachable. A really decent prof.
