Amazing Professor. You need to do your work and do the readings that he assigns before every class meeting and he gets ticked off if you don't know what the readings were about. Be sure to participate!! And again, Make sure you do your readings he has random pop quizzes. Take him!

Oh my god, he is just SO. FREAKING. FUNNY! He does give a lot of work, but hey, what college class would be complete without work? Always willing to help, and goes very in depth with his analysis, even if he doesn't cover much. Will have you laughing every other minute, and honestly, the first day of class, I thought he was a hot student ;)

Floerke is the BEST teacher I have ever had. I have always had a love for literature and writing, but Floerke has made me appreciate it in ways I never had before and has instilled my passion for literature even more! He is the most approachable, friendly, sweet, charismatic guy and will help you so so much! I recommend everybody to take his class!

I highly recommend Professor Floerke. He was by far the best teacher I have ever had. You should go to class and try really hard because it will change your life. He is really funny, so his lectures are interesting and captivating. He is so intelligent. If I were not transferring from Fullerton College, I would take several more of his classes.

Do yourself a favor. Laugh while you learn, love to come to class, work hard and become a better writer. Take the one teacher you will always remember and will always help you out. His class is only hard when you procrastinate. Otherwise you should be having a good time getting that A you always wanted.

Tries hard to be the "cool" professor by telling us how boring and lame we all are, constantly acts like he has something better to do than this.

Just okay. Seems like a really funny, cool guy, but as your professor? Meh. He was so unclear as to what was assigned and when it was due. Always late to class. This would all be fine with me if he didn't also grade papers like you're going for your Masters in English. Asks too much and gives too little. Really disorganized and confusing.

Floerke is the best instructor on Campus hands down. Every lecture was a pleasure to attend. That being said, he isn't an easy grader. By no means is he "hard" but you wont get an A if you don't try. It truly is a "get what you give" situation. If you're dilligent with your work, and listen to his critiques, you'll have no problem passing.

Makes himself available to students to review, clarify, pre-read papers. He gave me great advice on school stuff outside of his class. You work for your grade, but it's worth it and he's really cool.

This was one of the harder classes I've taken. The material is rough and unless you have a study partner, it may be a struggle. Professor Floerke does make himself available whenever you need him. Be prepared for lots of jokes about how mythical Christianity, the government, and the English monarchy are (those specifically).

He confesses that he is a tough grader & gives B's & A's only sparingly. If you want an A, you will have to earn it.
