I genuinely enjoyed taking this class with Professor Courtney. As long as you show up to class and take good notes, an A is not difficult to learn. Professor Courtney was very kind and gave written feedback after every exam. I would take this class again in a heartbeat.

Comment:
He cracked me up every class period and is generally a very chipper older gentleman. Don't skip out on the textbook, as you get all your epics from it and he uses the translated versions from that textbook (hint; different translators interpret the stories differently and he has a preference). Memorize the epics and WRITE DOWN WHAT HE SAYS

This class is so easy if you just pay attention! I took his class at 8am MWF & passed with an A. He gives 6 essays that are all personal but the prompts are reflected from readings from the textbook & in class assignments so dont skip! He gives plenty of examples and even allows you to use his own. He also TELLS you how to get an A. Super easy!

He is a very nice teacher. His class is easy. He gives answers to quizzes. You really just have to show up to class and take notes. He will help you during office hours. Very passionate about what he teaches.

Class is easy, its recommended to show up because he normally gives answers to quizzes, he does a lot of extra credit questions so if you come to class and pay attention theres extra points right there. you do write a lot of papers but overall his class is easy and no reason you shouldn't pass with a B or higher

Comment:
Dr. Courtney is very sweet, but he is also older and his class is 90% lecture. He does give study guides before tests, but they take a lot of work to complete. The textbook for this class is HUGE, and for your back's sake, I'd suggest not putting it in your backpack. Maybe just drag it behind you in a wheelbarrow.

His lectures were interesting to listen to and there are 4 books to read. He discusses the readings thoroughly and goes over everything you need to know for the exams. He takes attendance everyday and is very passionate about the books, also he doesn't like it when students come in late, he will call you out. But a great professor none the less.

Every class is a lecture over reading material, but Prof. Courtney really knows his stuff and he's passionate about it. He allowed us to submit both essays twice to maximize our grade, and he gave us detailed reviews for exams. Come to class and listen and you will definitely pass.

Comment:
Professor Courtney is extremely sweet and doesn't grade too difficult. He gives test reviews and allows "double submission" for essays meaning you can submit early & have a chance to resubmit for a better grade. However, the class itself drones on and on as he is very lecture heavy. Not recommended for visual or kinesthetic learners.

Comment:
Prof. Courtney is a good teacher, but his lectures are somewhat monotonous. As long as you know the material, you should be fine. He'll tell you what books to get, but, quite truthfully, you won't use them. There is only one paper you'll have to write and the rest of the grades are your tests.

Dr. Courtney was a great professor. He modifies his syllabus on almost a weekly basis and gets off track very easily. He loves the subject he teaches. Very funny and very accessible outside of class. Would recommend him to anybody.

Dr. Lee Courtney changed my mind set on english. Yes, he is an older professor but his lectures are detailed & interesting & makes sure that you understand. A question is asked from lecture everyday for extra credit. Grades: 4 test 1 essay. Gives study guide thats identical to test. The book isn't 'needed' but is very helpful! Highly recommend!

Professor Courtney is great! Not going to lie I didn't enjoy a lot of the lectures (I'm more of a Renaissance gal, the Romantic era bored me to tears), but if you have to take it,you should definitely take him! He gives extra credit in every single class period, gives reviews for the tests, and just generally cares about his student's success.

Dr. Courtney is a wonderful and insightful teacher. Before taking this class my interest in the subject was so-so, but Dr. Courtney really made the class fun. He also provided detailed comments on the paper assignments we turned in.

Courtney is a cute little old feller! The answers for the Reviews can be found on Quizlet. Sometimes he gives you extra credit, just depends on his mood for the day. Show up, study, you will pass. :)

All tests are from class lecture and readings. Do the regular stuff: arrive on time, take notes, pay attention and ask for clarification if needed! His passion for the subject matter showed in his lectures. He explains how all the works that you need to read fit together instead of just demanding you read just to read. You will not be disappointed!

Dr. Courtney is a great professor! His lectures are long and sometimes pretty boring, but he tries to lighten the mood and make the material relate to present day. He is always willing to help. Lots of reading, but he gives out great review for his exams! If you need an English class, take Dr. Courtney!
