Comment:

This professor has an easy class when you are in class, all you do is discuss stories that you have to read. However, you do not learn a thing about writing and you are only graded based on 4 essays and 1 research essay. He graded with the most annoying comments and I feel like he was a bit prejudice. He definitely favors loudmouth girls. Just dont

Comment:

People/student focused class set up. Students became people because he encourages expression and explores even small observations to help fully flesh ideas and push discussions forward. The Qs are just for story facts to make sure you did the homework. Simple instructions. Do the journals, you'll warm up your skills of expression for the essays.

Comment:

My favorite professor at Bergen so far. His honors courses come with intelligent discussion, deep, analytical reading and tons of food for thought. Very supportive and responds to emails quickly. 3 essays and 1 critical research essay. Not too much work, definitely heavy on the writing, but that's expected.

Comment:

you need to participate in class discussions. IF you are shy and don't like talking in class don't take him. I got all As this semester but got C+ in this class. Also, there are POP QUIZZES. You won't know when he will give you one so read all the stories. So far worst professor and class I had in BCC. I'm so mad :-(

Comment:

He's hands down my favorite professor. It was through him that I fell in love with literature. The class is very interactive which was wonderful and unique compared to other classes. He introduced me to so many new books/stories, and helped me improve my writing without making it feel like a chore. I am forever grateful to him. Take him!

Comment:

My favorite college professor I've had yet. Taken two of his classes now and, while he's no easy grade, would take again given the opportunity. A lot of reading then coming to class with your own interpretations. He generally picks interesting reads and the class discussions are often enlightening as well as welcoming.

Comment:

Very smart man, great discussions. Especially with honor students he allows you to do a rough draft of essays and hand in a final later on. Very funny and understanding if you talk to him, but you have to do the readings, which aren't that bad, and you have to participate in the class discussion which is 95% of the class.

three essays, a mini research paper of 6 pages, and short journal entries for every story we read. really not that hard of a class if you read the stories he assigns (they are short and painless) but not the most exciting one you'll have. The reading he assigns can all be found online.

three essays, one mini research paper, and an in class final essay. He's really sweet and if you show enough interest, he'll go easy on you. If you don't like a grade you got on your essay he allows you to rewrite it.

I wasn't a fan of this teacher. You just read stories and write about them and journals. It's an easy class but it gets so boring after a while.

Comment:

His explanations of the assigned readings were unclear, and he did not spend enough time on some of the more difficult material. We had to do silly group assignments in class that only served to fuel my discontent of this course. He is not approachable and can be condescending and rude. Do not purchase the txtbook. All stories can be found online

Such a great, understanding, helpful and lenient professor. Communicate with him and he will help. Do think the course is more reading than writing, but not complaining. 3 Essays, some pop quizzes so make sure you read, & one mini research paper. Awesome guy and class. Take him!

He is a very nice guy and very helpful. I hate reading but makes the readings interesting because of his discussions. Very lenient with grading. Lets you re write an essay to improve your grade. He is disorganized but a nice professor. Take him. You can get anything lower than a B in his class :)
