Comment:

Please avoid this professor. Quiz every class, don't use Sparknotes- you need to read the texts to pass. Exams are extremely tough, and based on his opinion if what you wrote was right. He will not offer feedback, and will not help you with anything, he is extremely rude to students. Doesn't use MyClasses. Doesn't allow laptops. Don't yawn.

Professor Harrington is an amazing professor! Class was composed of lectures and quizzes based on the plays read prior to each class. Tests were to make analytical points on chosen items regarding the plays. If you go to every class and take thorough notes on his lectures (and read the plays of course) you will thrive in the class!

Comment:

I wouldnt recommend if you aren't an English major. There's a quiz each class on tedious details. Each exams is to make 5 analytical points on 10 items. He doesnt offer any help. Hes unwilling to give feedback on things you got wrong, or give advice on how to do better. He doesn't allow laptops, nor does he write things on the board. He sucks!

Required reading for each class with a quiz at the beginning of class on each reading. Exams require critical thinking, not memorization. He is a very good professor, just be ready to put work in

Dr. Harrington is amazing! I took him for American Lit II this semester and he is so knowledgable and passionate about the subject! Im taking him for Shakespeare next semester and Im so excited! You have to do every reading or you will have a hard time in the class, but that can be said for any Lit course. 100% recommend!!

Comment:

Difficult exams determine the majority of your grade. 5 question quizzes everyday based on reading. 3 exams, 1 in-class essay. Attendance isn't mandatory, but missing class can be very detrimental. Anything he says could be on an exam. If you forget your book, you automatically fail the quiz. No final.

Comment:

He's definitely not for everyone, but as far as knowing the content, he may be the best prof the English department has. If you do the reading (at least twice) and go to class, you'll be fine. He doesn't require you to go to class, bu if you skip, you're missing a lot of important content for the exams. He's rough around the edges, but hedoes care.

Comment:

He is a very rude teacher, he does not listen to anyone else's opinion. He thinks that he is right no matter what! Teaches very different than other teachers, he is not understanding. The first thing he said when we started class on the first day was "A lot of people drop this class". Horrible.

Comment:

A true legend he is! His favorite sayings are, "we may never know" and "It's phallic". Surprised we don't have a national holiday for this guy, he basically is a living shakespeare... but better, because he seems to know shakespeare's play better than shakespeare himself. " Heroes get remembered but legends never die"-sandlot. Love, Gary's #1 fan

Comment:

Very arrogant professor who counts his opinion as fact and worships Shakespeare. If you copy down everything he says and regurgitate it back to him on the test you will pass no problem but if you are a free thinking individual who would like to form their own thoughts and opinions beware. Creativity is not needed for this class.

Expect not to learn. He tells you that day 1. He is right. Know the work going in to the course and re-re-read the acts before class. Course best suited with easier courses in your schedule. Daily quizzes are brutal: in depth to simple. Left guessing every time. It is just intense. Read every night and still felt like I didn't understand the exams.

Dr Harrington is one of the best professors as SU hands down. He has so much knowledge about the plays and really makes you enjoy the class. He can seem rather strict but as long as you pay attention you will be fine.

I have Dr. Harrington for art of the drama, and let me tell you its a bit rough. Super tough grader, you need to know your stuff coming into class. You absoutlely need the textbook to read all the plays, he gives a quiz each class that are pretty basic. 2 in class essays and 2 exams, thats it. Funny and smart dude, just dont yawn

Comment:

Shakespeare is such a hard subject for me, however extremely bearable with Dr. Harrington. He is a VERY hard grader, and looks for specific things in both the tests and in-class essays. He gives quizzes every class, but if you read you'll be fine. He truly does care and know about the material he's teaching. Just don't yawn and you'll be fine.

Comment:

Dr. Harrington at first glace may seem like he's going to be the most difficult professor, but that is far from the case. He is VERY knowledgeable about Shakespeare; ask him anything and he'll probably know it. Read the plays by the syllabus because there's a 5 question quiz every class and the first exam is a bit tough, but overall great class!

Dr. Harrington will push you to your academic limits. He is very passionate about his craft, and will expect the same enthusiasm out of his students. Get ready to read many novels, ansd you better have a lot of analytical points. There is nothing more rewarding than getting an A in his class.

Gary Harrington can be your best professor or you will drop the class day 1. I had him for Shakespeare and the man knows his stuff. Don't yawn or use your cell phone during class. I worked by ass off and was proud of getting a B. If you like to skip, don't take his classes, you will fail.
