He is the best! My favorite professor so far! He loves lecturing and really knows what he's talking about. He also has a great sense of humor. I promise you will learn, even if you don't necessarily want to. He's an easy and forgiving grader. I'm currently looking for ANY other classes he might be teaching next semester. Take him!

Best teacher ever!He only makes you do 4 essays in a semester. He is really funny and lightens up the mood in class. Never wanted to miss a class.

Dr. Artese is definitely one of my favorite professors so far! He is really witty and very understanding. He actually makes english FUN.... weird i know. I would highly recommend him!

If there's one thing I ask of you guys, it's that you take his class. He's awesome!

Great professor, only four essays a semester. You have to read your book because you never know when he will quiz you over the reading. He makes the class fun, hes very witty.

Good class. Didn't too much like that he wants you to us his style of writing. Three essays one research. Oh yeah, you're not able to write on our own topic. The class picks the topic as a whole. Read the chapters too!!! Random pop quizzes!!

PERFECT CLASS FOR SLACKERS! You'll only need to read 2 of the 20 stories he assigns. He only cares about the 2 essays worth 62% of grade. You NEVER have to participate, you can watch sports, play video games, & be on Facebook during class. Don't worry about studying for the 2 tests because you can fail both & all quizzes & still pass with a B.

Super easy but very boring. If you care about literature at all, this class isn't for you. Pay attention in class, because that's all that will be on the two short tests. His grading of papers is a little inconsistent, because everyone does fine even if they only write plot summary.

He is one of the best professors I have ever had! He is really funny and we joke around in class how bored we are and he just laughs and keeps going. You only have to write like 4 essays and they're only 3 pages. I got A's on most of them and nothing lower than a B. His class is super easy so take him. I will again!

Amazing Amazing Amazing. The best college professor I have had thus far. I would advise taking him for this class! He is incredibly understanding, and will help you with any issues! He does not want his students to fail, so he will always help you via email!

interesting class, 2 writing assignments, random pop quizzes and 4 tests. pay attention and you should do fine.

Great and funny teacher, hardly any work just alot of reading, he does occasionally give pop quizzes just to make sure you read but they only count towards participation. Make sure you do good on the paper and you should do good in his class.

Amazing. Simply amazing. He is so funny and he does have a tendency to rant but all his assignments are so easy. Really glad I chose him for my first semester! No tests, just papers. Really EASY.

Artese is great! He is very funny, fair, and knowledgeable. He keeps the class entertaining while staying on track. There is reading to be completed before every class and then very infrequent surprise quizzes covering the readings. Two tests, two essays--both easy. Would definitely recommend, especially to those that appreciate nerdy things.

Artese is by far my favorite teacher at KSU. I took two of his classes. He is great because his approach to the subject is different from the bored housewives we had in high school. He is really funny and tries to make everyone laugh. He is clear about the assignments and essays and will even revise your essays before they are due. Take him!

You will have a tough time if you don't do the reading and pay attention in class. His tests reflect the excerpts he talks about in class. He is pretty generous when grading. I won't say don't take him, but expect to put some effort in. No extra credit opportunities. Doesn't really like answering emails. Really funny guy!

He is a wonderful professor!! He really tries to make his lectures interesting. He is very helpful when it comes to questions and always replies to emails in a short amount of time. There are pop quizzes (there isn't makeup for these so always show up to class!), so be sure to follow the syllabus on what chapter to read! GREAT PROFESSOR!TAKE HIM!

This class was pretty easy. He literally curved the test 30 points and grades stuff really easy. He's super nice and cares about his students. His tests are pretty hard, but if you pay attention and take notes your be fine. He doesn't want to fail students.

Simple class, 4 essays which were interesting topics and worth writing about. A couple of homeworkclasswork assignments that were easy. Let out early most of the time, two times because he was going to a Hawks game. Really funny, approachable guy. Taking him next semester for literature.

Attendance is mandatory. Classes are pretty boring but overall this class is a pretty easy A. I worked pretty hard on every essay and finished the class with an A. Just don't slack and you'll be fine. Very funny guy.

attendance is not mandatory. 4 essays which you should be able to get an A on. tests are tough, but he curves them

I love World Lit., but the reading material was pretty dry. Nontheless, Mr Artese made it interesting. It was a big class, but he loves discussion and is pretty engaging. Easy tests if you read (stories are all written very differently, just remember that, it'll help you on tests). Just have an opinion and you can easily get an A for essays. Take!

He's a great professor. The classsubject is just awful. There's a ton of reading and it is very boring. My recommendation is to read summaries of the passages he assigns and then attend class for his explanations. His lectures are pretty much mandatory to passing unless you can interpret old literature easily. He makes the class bearable.

Wonderful Professor!

He is very nice. Thinks he's funnier than he is. Pretty easy grader and he let's you send him a draft and he will critique it. 4 essays and some homework assignments. Would take again.

I started out this semester really liking Dr. Artese, but as we did more and more papers on very similar topics, I started to get bored with his lectures. I think he's a really good professor though. He lets you send him your papers to look over before he grades them, and isn't a super tough grader.

Professor Artese is a great guy. I really enjoyed him as a person. As a professor, he is pretty good as well. He is sometimes a little too vague on assignments, so you have to ask a lot of questions to completely understand what he wants from you. However, I really enjoyed his English class, and I'm taking him again this semester for ENGL 1102.

Professor Brian is pretty cool. His lectures can be boring and no one likes to attend the classes becuase its english, but other than the topic of english not being interesting to most students, he is an awsome prodessor. He's really nice, responds to emails quickly. Not many exams or papers. His assignments are easy if you know how to write.

Wonderful guy. English, poetry, and writing are not my thing so it wasn't an easy class for me but he made it very enjoyable for someone like me who has a math mind. He gives three short writing assignments (no more than 2 pages) and then two multiple choice tests. No final. If I ever had to take English again I would try to take him again!

There were 3 short writing assignments (less than 2 pages, basically tells you what to write in class) and two 30 question multiple choice tests. No final. He says there are pop quizzes, but we only had 1. If you're good at English, it's a SUPER easy A. If not, you'll probably still get an A or B. Attendance is "mandatory" but he never checks.

Great Professor. If you're going to take ENGL1101, take him.

Dr. Artese is awesome. Reading is kind of heavy but it is a lit class. Most of the stuff is interesting. He is super easy to listen to and keeps the class entertaining. 3 papers and 2 tests and maybe some quizzes here and there. Would totally take again.

Professor Artese is a really nice and interesting guy. He lectures a lot in class but keeps it interesting. There are only 4 essays throughout the whole semester but the criteria can be kind of vague. There are a few pop quizzes on the reading. Not many assignments and an easy grader. Take him if you get the chance.

Super funny, he will tell you so much about what to write in the essays that by compiling his info onto one page and organizing it you basically have your rough draft. BUT ONLY if you ASK. He tends to volunteer the info if you ask a question but will not just bring it up. Reach the page count and if you can write a 5th grade essay you will get a A

He's a nice teacher. His lectures are entertaining although not always helpful to his tests. There is a lot of reading and pop quizzes. I felt that his criteria on his papers were unclear but he allows you to send them in before the due date for him to look at. He doesn't tell you about the papers until the last minute but they aren't too long.

Not a bad class, he talks all of class and sometimes its hard to follow. 4 essays (which he doesn't explain in depth until the class before its due) and grades pretty easy. Overall not bad at all just extremely boring.

He doesn't explain assignments and essays well. He gives you the essay topics last minute.. he doesn't grade hard. Every essay i thought i did bad, I at least got a B. He is really nice and lenient. I wouldn't buy the textbooks if I were you.

Attendance is not mandatory, but he makes classes interesting. He allows you to email him your papers before they are due to check them before you submit it, just ask him! Some of the readings are long and difficult to understand but he clarifies them in class. Curves the tests, and they are not very difficult if you go to class.

Somehow he teaches the class in way that makes it really easy but somehow I'm still learning something. The homework assignments are usually pretty short. Sometimes he's late (to class and in grading), but he's usually reasonable in postponing essays. There were four essays, another assignment, and a participation grade. He gives good feedback.

He's a pretty funny guy, but also different from other English teachers I've had. He focuses much more on analyzation, almost to the point of over-analyzation. It wasn't hard but it was just different from how I was used to writing papers. I did well on all the papers, even when I thought I did bad. I enjoyed him as a professor, he's just different

Funny, goofy guy. Gives great feedback, &if you email him asking for help on papers, he'll send your paper back w/ comments on how to make it better. Every paper except the final one was rhetorical analysis. Not always clear on assignments. He passed around an attendance sheet but forgot a lot. Can have 3 absences before he starts taking off points

Great teacher! He tends to talk a lot but he tells you exactly what he wants for your papers and the class is an easy A

Funny guy and over all truly cares about student success. He doesnt require attendance but if you dont show up for the explanation of the readings life will be harder. Random pop quizzes and 3 decent writing assignments, plus a few tests is all there is to look forward too but definitely an easy grade type of class.

He assigns some essays throughout the semester as well as some in class activities. He is really funny and understanding. He gives good feedback on the essays IF YOU ASK HIM FOR HELP. Email him if you are struggling. I would take his class again for sure. I learned a lot from his class. Just show up and be willing to work on your writing skills.

I really enjoyed Professor Artese. He was not only super chill but also allowed you to send him your essays for feedback before they were due. Attending class was not mandatory but he does give pop quizzes but they are super easy. He was really helpful and my best professor so far! I highly recommend him.

Honestly, I don't understand why people complain. He goes over each of the stories or poems and just write down what he says because you won't remember what they are about by looking at the titles. Your note is the perfect study guide for the tests. His class is not pressured at all. Just go to his class, you will pass.

Professor Artese is definetly one of the funniest teachers i've ever had. He is very eccentric and takes a second to get used to but once you do he is great. His class is fun to be in and I always was intrested in what he had to say. He focuses more on the meat of your papers and allowed us to avoid conclusions all together. Not a hard class.

Artese was a solid choice for a World Lit teacher! Where many other lit teachers toss paper after paper at students, Artese only had us do 4 out of class writing assignments, each only about a paragraph in length. He tends to linger on small details during lecture but the two tests are still easy to pass. Just make sure to study!

Artese is very entertaining, keeps you interested. Always pacing around, but funny and actually cares about the literature. Makes it understandable, which is important because a lot of the readings are way out there and too old. He'll give detailed comments if you email him your paper early.

Prof Artese has become one of my favorite professors this semester! His lectures are helpful and entertaining especially if you participate. He is very helpful if you have any questions and doesn't talk down to you. Also don't buy the books I've found everything I've needed off free PDFs. Would take again.

Seriously a really nice guy. Kind of a tough grader but if you find that you are having any issues he won't hesitate to help! I emailed him at 12am once and he responded within 3 minutes. He cares about your grade and his students. I'm super glad I took his class. He's a saint compared to other professors.

He has a very dry sense of humor I don't think a lot of people share. He gives good lectures and his papers were usually about pretty fun things to write. He didn't use the textbook often, just for some pop quizzes in class. The quizzes don't contribute to your overall grade much. Overall a very good professor and a fun class if you like writing.

I took this class fully online. Professor Artese was relatively easy and the class was pretty interesting. He grades by few things and his assignments are based on non traditional things; comics, star wars reviews and magazine covers. He offers many times to read your draft via email and provide feedback, take this opportunity if you want an A.

Mr. Artese was fun online. He only has 2 major papers & 2 short reading assignments that he grades. For most of the class, he just talks about what we read for class. If you email him your paper a day or 2 before it is due he will check your paper for errors. He is usually more concerned with the content of your paper & how you followed the rubric.

He was a very nice and understandable professor! However, I don't feel like I learned much from him. He's a VERY tough grader. I had to work very hard to get a decent grade. He takes a while to read emails as well. Also, he's willing to read rough drafts for major essays but email them early so you can have time to perfect your work.

Professor Artese is a great teacher and loves literature. He may talk a little excessively and stray off topic but if you listen to what he says and read the novels then you have an opportunity to get an easy A. If you dont attend class then its definitely going to be hard to pass.

he is a great teacher

Funny and engaging. I went in to this class a pretty good writer, but he inspired me to become much better. Gets off topic on tangents sometimes and could do so for 40 minutes. Never in a bad, boring way, though - its always a class conversation about something random. Has pop quizzes, but they get lumped in as a small part of participation.

This is my 2nd time taking Professor Artese. He's a great guy, very easy to communicate with outside of and after class. He might not be the best at arriving to class on time, but I've always liked him as a professor. He gives great feedback on your essays so next time you know what to correct. Do the work, study and you should get an A

Super easy, would recommend you go to class because sometimes he will do in-class assignments. Essays were pretty easy, and he'll even proofread them before you have to hand them in.

Took him for American Lit and it was the best class tbh. Super easy and chill, 2 small writing assignments and 2 tests. If you show up for the lectures and remember what he talked about you will for sure pass. Couple of pop quizzes so you should keep up with reading but they are super basic questions.

Readings due almost every class. We read 2 books and multiple smaller readings. The only things graded are the two tests and two writing assignments. The writing assignments are fairly easy and straight forward. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he will give occasional pop quizzes.

Artese is a great teacher but the subject is very boring. He does assign readings for each class but the tests are really easy if you can remember the names of different authors. The writing prompts are very clear and there are only 2 assignments and 2 tests. His teaching style is a collaborative lecture and he likes to engage with his students.

His lectures seem to be whatever he happens to think of saying in that moment and seem very boring but if you can get into it, they can be interesting. I think he's a very funny guy who definitely loves literature but he's also a very slow grader with only having 4 graded assignments

He likes to talk, a lot. Gets off topic often. Super funny guy, and his tests are super easy. I barely did any of the readings, and got a 100 on a test because he discusses all the passages that will be on the tests. He does pop quizzes randomly, but they hardly count towards anything on your final grade.

Professor isn't bad. Does ramble a lot, but when he finally gets around to making his point it was actually pretty interesting. I didn't even have to read too much to do pretty well on the tests as long as you participate and pay attention in class.

This professor was great! The course was definitely on the harder side, but as long as you attend his lectures and take notes, you'll do well. He is extremely knowledgeable and very passionate which rubs off onto his students. I really enjoyed this class, even though it was pretty tough to do well.

Everyone who has left a negative review for Professor Artese are people who want to skip every class and still get an A. Professor Artese is hilarious, engaging, and he is a very lenient grader. His tests are so easy that you only fail if you didn't attend a single lecture. He is very encouraging, and I loved his class.

He was cool, and kinda funny. Just attend class, he breaks down every passage and tells you whats on the test. Do not buy the textbook, save your money. He does also give pop quizzes, so be aware. Great professor though!
