He is by far the worst teacher at west chester university. Very smart, but thinks he knows everything. Not clear about assignments, picks favorites, grades extremely hard. DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HIS CLASSES

The only problem I had with him was that he was unclear with specifics about assignments - ie. "just make it look right." WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??

Comment:
He's alright. In terms of amount of written assignments and such the workload is pretty light. Generally a pretty cool guy and pretty easy going. He seems to have a tendency to pick favorites though. His tests are pretty random, it's all on the reading, and some of it is just ridiculousness. Very little he says in class will help with the test.

Worst teacher I've had so far. Rude, demanding, and biased. I would strongly advise anyone considering his class to think again.

Comment:
I don't understand how anyone can enjoy this class. This guy is sarcastic, favors certain students, and doesn't teach what is going to be on the exams. In fact, the questions on the exams are the most random question ever. He also has a habit of not finishing his thoughts. "ARE YOU FEELING ME?" CERTAINLY NOT BUDDY. RETIRE!

Comment:
At first I liked his class, but then I took the midterm and realized that the class is presented as easy at first, but he'll get you on exams. Dr. Trotman shares a lot of his philosophy but does not relate it to the readings, which is mainly what you are tested on (and there's a lot of reading). He definitely has favorites in class.

If you arent "feeling it" he wont. I mean that seriously, do be afraid to shre yoru ideas because like i said many times he wont feel you and make that obvious. A lot of difficult reading.

great professor. Does not teach what is in text but teaches more about the feeling of an era. Test will have questions you have never seen before but his discussions should not be missed.

Doesn't teach literature much, so make sure you read. He focusses on the history and cultural significance in a-a lit. Informal in class, but I plan to take him again.
