Comment:

I took his Chaucer course. He is a truly brilliant teacher: he taught us how to interpret moments in literature as well as the meanings of whole texts . He radically changed how I analyze and interpret literature. I'll always remember his class, and I wish I could take him again. He's very stimulating in office hours too.

Comment:

Andy is a great professor; he's very engaging and certainly knows his stuff. At first glance, the course seems easy because you only have lectures and a light discussion each week, but Andy is a really tough grader. You'll have to analyze and write like a pro to get a good grade on your papers. Overall, worth it, but difficult.

Comment:

I've taken a few courses with Professor Galloway during my time at Cornell, and in my view he is the best professor here. He knows more than anyone (literally) about his subject and he is the nicest, most enthusiastic, most helpful professor I've ever had. You cannot help but engage with his courses, no matter what your prior interest level.

Comment:

Professor Galloway is an excited, rambunctious, and detailed lecturer whose lose for his subject comes out in his teaching. You'll come to love not only the literature he teaches but also its historical context - he really loves history, I mean, really loves history. This is not bad, trust me. Also, check out his great voices!!!

Comment:

Knows a lot about what he teaches and related material. Tends to go off on tangents a bit because of this, but it seems to generally be interesting stuff. Lenient grader; seems to be more interested in whether or not you're putting in the effort.

Comment:

Definitely the best course and the best professor I had last semester. I never wanted to miss a class. It was a lot of reading and writing every week; however, I felt it was worth it, for he gave such an animated lecture, revealing his true love of it.

Fantastic teacher and scholar. Very approachable and intensely excited about his subject matter. I took these courses expecting to hate them for the potentially dry subjects. Pleasantly surprised and still fondly recall these courses a decade later.

Though he is very nice, there is something about the class that induces sleep.

Comment:

Obviously very into his work, but not a very good teacher. Tends to talk to himself for the entire class period, without realizing that 3/4 of the class is asleep. Very random, often incoherent, and likes to ramble. He picks good pieces, though...

Comment:

Long incoherent lectures. Really excited about English but doesn't necessarily get his point across. Good class if you do it for the literature.
