Comment:

Norberg gives out a ton of assignments and is a very hard grader on them. I went to his office hours a few times and he was not there, which was quite frustrating. I would spend hours reading the assigned homework, then writing an essay on it of good quality and would still receive a grade on the paper that was insulting. Nice guy, but tough grader

Hands down one of the best professors/people at SJU. He goes above and beyond to help every student, and even remembers you 3 years after you took his class. One of the nicest and most sincere people at SJU. Take him, you'll love him. Oh, and if you need help getting an override or adviser questions in general, he's your guy.

Comment:

For someone who hates english classes Dr. Norberg makes class very fun. Nightly readings are very short and straightforward and class is simply talking about the readings. He gives students up to three chances to score higher grades on papers. By far the best teacher I've ever had at SJU.

Comment:

Easily the best English professor I have ever had. He was extremely helpful in class with explaining the texts we were covering, but I found that I benefited the most from his class during his office hours. He went through every sentence with me if I asked, or just did an overview. I would definitely take him again.

Prof. Norberg is very helpful, kind and caring. The reading never ends but isn't overwhelming as long as you don't wait until the last minute. He listens to the class and gives great feedback if you go to see him. Great professor overall.

Took his class during the summer. A mixture of reading and film.We read an entire novel with supplements in 5 weeks. He is an excellent teacher. Really wants you to improve as a writer and analytical reader. Definitely in my top 4 at SJU. His advice and comments really boosted my confidence...Dr. Norberg embodies the Jesuit ideals of SJU

Comment:

Had him for the World of Fiction class Freshmen year. Amazing professor & amazing mentor. The reading was always interesting as were the writing assignments. Class is writing intensive but many writings are narrative style. Dr. Norberg is the best professor I've had at SJU. He is fascinating, passionate and cares a lot about student success.

Dr. Norberg is amazing. Truly cares about students and wants you to become a better writer and reader. Pretty lenient with deadlines of papers, he just wants your best work. Alot of work, but you'll do well if you do the work. You will not regret taking his class. He's always willing to talk about anything and everything.

Comment:

If you want to become a better writer and develop your ability to analyse a text critically, take a class with this man. But do attend class, and be prepared/ do the reading. He is incredibly knowledgeable, always happy to discuss an assignment and gives honest advice: you just have to ask for it. Terrific professor, truly cares for his students.

One of the best teachers I have ever had. Pushed us to learn more and be better students/people. Work is difficult, but it was a class that everyone wanted to go to. Go talk to in office; always available for help.

One of the most amazing teachers I have ever had. Seriously, he cares soooo much about his students and really wants us to become better writers. That being said, he is VERY difficult and the work load is really overwhelming at times but if you really want to improve your writing and become better at keeping up with reading... TAKE HIM

I love Dr. Norberg. He is an extremely honest, straightforward person, aside from being the smartest person I know. He is by far the most intelligent English professor at St. Joe's (as of 2007), he has an intimate understanding of literature and explains it in a very relevant way. By far the best teacher I've ever had in any subject, an absolutemus

Really Really Hard but you learn so much. A nice guy to talk to. Have to come to class, but class isnt that bad in itself. But be prepared to work like writing 4 essays a week through the whole semester.

I love Dr. Norberg. enough said. He has some ridiculous expectations sometimes but its in your best interest and he'll give you some leeway if you need it. I'm not even an english major but I still go to him for advice or to just talk. GREAT GUY

Alot of reading and writing; it was writing intensive. Made me a better writer. Laugh can get annoying but thats him. Be prepared to work, he tells you he will fail you to intimidate you. READ THE MATERIAL, likes to give pop quizzes. Ask for help and get to know him, can save your grade if you need it

Dr. Norberg is the best advisor at SJU. He truly cares about his students and takes an active interest in their academic and personal lives, which pisses some people off but helps others. Papers and tests are hard but he recognizes effort. A must for english majors and those who enjoy literature
