Comment:

He began the class by announcing he rarely ever gives A's, I should've known right then to drop. He grades extremely harshly and then offers little to no help to improve on your writing or understanding. He will pick his three favorites day one and no one else has a chance after that. He can be very offensive too. Decent guy but not a good teacher.

Comment:

Walker will eat you up and spit you out. That said, I love him and he's one of my favorite professors. He loves students who talk. He's brutally honest and if you're an idiot he's going to tell you--so don't be an idiot and you're fine. Writing is important and you're going to get the grade you deserve regardless.

Comment:

Dr. Walker knows his subjects. But it's almost impossible to write an A paper. After 96 credit hours with a 4.0, I was 2 points from an A in his class. I tried hard and met with him in his office, followed his instructions, and could never get more than an 88 on his papers. He may be knowledgeable, but that doesn't make him a good TEACHER.

Comment:

After two semesters of critical analysis and writing with A's in each, my first paper was not up to his standards. Went to his office hours, did exactly what he said for revisions, and I got a 1 point bump. He loves the subject, but I would never ever take him again.

Comment:

Dr. Walker is divisive within the classroom.He picks favorites from the beginning and it seems as though one's grade is predetermined from the moment one walks in. Don't take him. If you do, visit his office hours and find out exactly what HE wants in a paper and you MIGHT get an A if you follow his ideas to a very delicate degree.

Absolutely brilliant, very eccentric and animated. He's witty and picks on people, but is good-natured and really wants to teach you what he knows. Work hard, pay attention, try to improve with every assignment and you will do fine.

Comment:

My friends warned me about his class, but I love him! It's not an easy A, but he will help you understand. If he picks on you, he likes you. He's brilliant, energetic, and downright amazing. Do the work. Go to class.

Comment:

He's a really hard grader and has a hard time understanding that people don't think the same way as him. You have to pay attention in the class although he is hard to follow. He's brillant and a great teacher but it is not going to be an easy class and you'll have to speak

Comment:

I'm currently taking my second class from Dr. Walker. He's great, extremely energetic and animated. He values clear, concise writing. My writing has improved because of his class. A lot of reading, but if you keep up with the assigned reading and attend regularly, you'll get a lot out of his class.

He makes fun of you and picks favorites. You'll love him if you're his favorite, but your psyche will take a beating otherwise.

He's a nice guy to those who speak in class but he likes to make fun of others. He has offended me numerous times. He also interrupts people a lot and won't let them get their point across. He grades hard on papers, too.

Comment:

Dr. Walker is a very likable professor. He jokes around and is very sarcastic--keeps class interesting, even if subject matter is dry. If he pokes fun at you, that means he likes you. Expects a lot but will help you if you go to him. Two thumbs up!!

Comment:

Best teacher I've ever had, grad or undergrad. Knows his subjects (literature & film) backward and forward. Is extremely helpful with students making an effort. Very witty and a lot of fun. I took probably a dozen classes with him; he is the absolute best, especially at OSU. If you're a serious English major, don't miss taking Dr. Walker.

Comment:

I took his Murder will Out class. I couldn't stand it! He was such a jerk. All he talked about is himself. If you aren't an English major, don't take this class. If you are, then you might like it I guess b/c he'll treat you right.

Even if you attend classes regularly, speak up consistantly, and are always prepared, if you do not write your papers to meet his personal liking then you will not receive the deserved grade.

Hard to list all the classes I took with Dr. Walker. Everything he taught, I took. He's simply fantastic. It also didn't hurt that he's great looking too! He's a very intelligent man with a passion for what he teachers.

A good guy--honest and funny. Be aware that if he makes fun of you in class, that means he likes you! Loves what he teaches. Walker was also a GREAT department chair; I wish he was still in charge.

He's absolutely the best. Smart, funny, great-looking. He's insightful, confident, and energetic. He expects a lot, but he's fair.
