Tough grader. very passionate. Pay attention, do the readings, and spend real time on your essays and you will pass.

The dude can break down poetry like nobody else. The classes can be tough, but it's for the better. If you're an English major and you don't like him or you do terribly in his class, switch majors.

Hes definitely passionate about teaching and genuinely wants to be there however he teaches an intro English class but grades like he is teaching an upper level class. He didnt teach the subject but assumed you already knew it. The essay criteria isnt clear. I would recommend NOT taking this class unless your skills as a writer are very refined.

Be prepared to take a hyper-specific test on everything you read before he lectures on them. Also be aware that you will have to come to class with a complete understanding of the work beforehand or you will fail the class. Also, this class is technology free, and you won't know your grade on anything until the end of the semester.
