Go to class and do the work and you'll be fine. Great prof with a good sense of humor.

very good teacher...no written final. He likes one paged papers. Great teacher

Corrigan makes class fun. For Shakespeare, he brings in hot tea for the class each day and has few exams in upper level classes.

He is very cool and passionate about his work but he was absent a lot. He also made the class teach mostly by doing presentations on characters whose names we could not pronounce. Maybe it was a bad time, but I did not get a good grade and I had a 3.6 GPA

Difficult, but fair and interesting.

Very smart, funny guy. However, he is too arrogant, which makes everything good about him, not so good.

I purposely try to get into his class if he isteaching the english I want to take. He has been the best professor I've had since coming here. He is very intelligent and knows his subjects, he is also a very interesting man.

Best teacher i ever had

He just did not like the way that I wrote so he gave me a C in the class

Dr. Corrigan is a great professor! Before I took his class, writing was just a formula for me, but he allowed me to see that writing can be fun. Great job, Dr. Corrigan! Thanks for all that you taught :-)

Dr. Corrigan's enthusiastic approach to what sounded like a boring class made all the difference. He loves Shakespeare, is an expert, and somehow that energy carried over to our entire class. I completely recommend him!

I thought that Dr. Corrigan was a pretty considerate guy. He strove to help his students in any way possible. I am not a strong writer but he tried to help me. I would take him again although he is difficult.

Dr corrigan is an awesome teacher. english wasnt one of my favorite subjects but he made it fun and interesting. and too think he was almost luke skywalker too

By far the best teacher at NGCSU. He is extremely enthusiastic about what he teaches and knows his stuff thoroughly. He makes class fun. His tests are not that hard, but it is very easy to get apathetic with his easiness and have dropping grades by the end.

Dr. Corrigan is one of the better English professors at NGCSU. He is extremely knowledgeable. Yes, he might be arrogant. I agree. But perhaps he has a right to be. He knows his stuff. His classes are exciting. I think he's fair with grades. His classes are anything but boring.I would take more of his classes.

I think Dr. corrigan is a very good teacher. I highly disagree with the statement that he is arrogant because i don't feel he is. He is good at what he does and very willing to help you if you have any problems. I would take all my english classes with him if possible!!!

You will never be bored. He wasn't an actor in his early years for nothing. Absolutely brilliant and very inspiring. I'm currently taking his World Lit class, even though I don't need any more survey courses.

His class may seem intimidating at first, because all his papers are of theme and meaning of stories or poems, but he is very helpful!! You can email him or go to him at any time during office hours and he will help you! The papers are mostly BS, so if your good at that, you'll be good in his class!! He's a really good prof and very funny!!

Well, the papers seemed overwhelming at first but I got to a point where I didnt put much effort into them,and made better grades, so I guess that would make him a good teacher. He was funny enough to make the time go by. I would recomend his class.

Absolutely one of the best Professors at NGCSU. I am not one to attend class, but Dr Corrigan is so enthusiatic I had no problem with his strict attendence policy. He also understands certain classes are a requierment, not a choice, and therefore does not test on interputations of material, just facts!

DR CORRIGAN (not Mr.) is a wonderful professor. And whoever wrote the comment about his novel, _The Poet of Loch Ness_ is obviously jeleous of his success. Perhaps he/she attempted to read it and it was over his/her head. Beautiful story. Well written. He is also a very fair and knowledgeable professor who cares about his students' success.

Great teacher, but I agree, his novel is definitely not the best read. I've give it a 3.5/5. And yes, I got the several meanings in his work (literal, allegorical, etc.). Don?t be so quick to assume that he/she didn?t ?get it? or is jealous. Perhaps he/she just didn?t like it...get over it.

Dr.Corrigan was great! He's a really sweet guy who cares about the success of his students. He's very knowledgeable of his subject and his enthusiasm for Shakespeare is inspiring. Arrogant? No way!! I think people are just reading him wrong. He?s very intelligent and big hearted. Any sense of arrogance, I?m sure, is purely unintentional. I think

Wonderful, wonderful teacher. very passionate about his subject! a very lovely class!

I Hate English. I cant really write either, so my forethought of the Brit Lit Class was that i would hate it just like i have all my other English classes. Except when Corrigan started to explain in detail everything about what we were learning, it made the class very interesting.wrote no essays and took 5 tests 56 questions long (1-2 word answers)

I went into the class thinking it would be my least favorite, but it has turned out to be one that I haven't really had to worry about. Corrigan explains everything really well and he's a really great teacher. He's pretty funny and his tests are SO easy if you just pay attention in class and study a little. I would recommend going to class everyday

I've followed Dr. Corrigan for three classes and absolutely love every class! He is more than willing to help anyone outside of class, and often stays behind to answer questions. He is hard and like every professor he likes and requires class participation. So take notes, come to class with a good attitude, and you will be fine.

Demands more than just the usual. If you like being challenged and inspired to think differently, take him. But if you don't, you'll have a lot of trouble with him.

His literature class is pretty much a history class. There were no papers, which I loved (not an English major). He REALLY knows his stuff and expects you to really learn it. His tests aren't too difficult as long as you do the read (there is A LOT of reading).You also definitely have to takegood notes. He'll kick you out for not bringing yourbook.

Honestly, these reviews really disappointed me. I did not find the negative ones true at all. Dr. Corrigan is an AMAZING teacher. He makes every class very interesting. You especially need to take Dr. Corrigan if you are an English major. He is the best.

Awesome professor. If you pay attention, take good notes, do the reading, and study you'll make an A on every test. But you MUST COME TO CLASS. Missing one day can be a lot of material that is not in any power point you can go back and look at. He is smart, funny, but holds you responsible for your grade, as you should be. Love him.

Very funny. Come to class or get notes because he talks A LOT. Write down most of what he says, not just key things,and you will do fine on the tests which are fill in the blank but easier then it sounds. If you have an A, you exempt the final!

My favorite Professor! Make sure you take good notes and show up for class! I really enjoyed his class!

He is really passionate about the subject and makes it very interesting. You have to be in class and take good notes, but you can get by without doing the reading. I squeezed by with a 90. I hate lit classes normally but I really enjoyed this one.

"Too much reading for a survey class." What a joke! I have taken several English literature survey classes, and the reading for all of these classes is about the same. I'd even say that the reading load for this class is lighter than most. If you actually do the readings, you should have absolutely no trouble with the tests.

Brian Corrigan is super passionate about British Literature which makes the material much more interesting. Very smart man but expects you to know your stuff! He recommends buying the book but I was able to find most of the reading online. Would definitely take him again!

He is hilarious. Makes you want to come to class and makes content fun even if you aren't into literature.

Loved this class and loved him as a teacher! He brought life to the class. Honestly, he hands you an A if you actually show effort. Show effort by doing the reading (or spark noting it) and attend class every time. He wants to hand you an A or B, but you have to meet him halfway.

Professor Corrigan is my favorite teacher at the entire school. He's passionate about the topics and cares about his students. He'll tell you exactly how to make an A in his class during the first week. Funny, interesting, and helpful. Optional final too. I highly recommend him, and I'm signing up for his other classes too.

He is a good professor, but you absolutely have to attend class. He covers so much ground in every class, so getting behind will ruin your grade. He also has you read out a section of your notes to actually prove your reading, I wasn't a fan of that, but it did actually make me read.

Best class I have ever taken! He is a extremely knowledgeable and an excellent professor. But if you don't take super detailed notes or show up to class, you'll probably fail. His test are all on what he teaches so if you miss a day your done for. I loved his brit lit class and still remember everything he taught - all in all he is amazing!

He is one of the best teachers I have ever taken in my whole college career. He is extremely funny and as long as you go to class you will pass. The way he teaches makes all the information stick in your brain so you can never forget it. He is an amazing teacher for sure! If you make an A or a B in his class he will let you exempt your final!

Dr. Corrigan has expectations of his students since this is a college level class. The reading is a necessity and taking notes is also heavily recommended. He is a bit of a stickler when I comes to spelling so beware. However, overall it was a very interesting class and I would definitely take Corrigan again.

I absolutely adore Dr. Corrigan! He's really funny and sweet and gives great life advice. He is very lecture heavy but they're interesting and most people enjoy them. You will also have to read a lot but not anymore than you would for a typical survey class. Attendance is mandatory and necessary.

He is by far one of the best professors at UNG, he gives great life lessons and makes a English class interesting. Things to expect, the first class is the most important he tells you exactly how to take notes and key things to look for when writing stuff down, ex: if he repeats or spells its important. His test are an easy 100+ one word answers.

There is a lot of reading, but no essays. As long as you do the reading and take notes over whatever he says in lecture, you'll easily pass. If you skip class, you'll miss out on things that will be on the test. But, there is extra credit on all of his tests. The only grades are the tests. You learn a lot of valuable information about life from him

Most people don't like him because he actually expects you to do the readings like all college students should. I know there is a lot of it, but if you do the readings and take notes you should do fine. Make sure not to miss class, a lot of questions on the test come straight from the lectures.

Absolutely do the readings and come to class ready to take notes from his lectures. Don't skip class bc the tests are from HIS lecture not the readings. The final is optional for improving your grade, so if you make an A or B, you don't need to take it. Tests aren't as daunting as it seems as long as you read and take notes.

The only grades you have are tests but they're easy. Just memorize the character names and little details he stresses in lecture and I promise you'll get an A. Other than that, his lectures are absolutely fantastic. He's so interesting and really makes the subject come alive. One of my fav professors definitely.

Many people didn't like him, but I genuinely think Dr. Corrigan is one of the best professors out there. There's never a class that is not amusing and interesting. Literature is kinda boring, but he makes it pretty easy to follow. If you miss a class though, you are very behind and miss a few test questions. Tests are ok if ya study HARD...

Corrigan is the best professor I've had in college so far. Many people do not like him but that is just because he does not just give out A's and makes you work for your gade. He is extremely knowledgable and will normally wrap his lectures around to good life advice. Would definitely take again. If you want to learn definitely take him.

I took him for brit lit 2121. he is passionate about what he teaches and tries to make it entertaining for everyone. the tests are 60 questions with 1-3 word answers. so easy to pass as long as you do the readings every night and memorize, memorize, memorize what he says in class.

Corrigans class can seem daunting at first because of the readings and detail-packed lectures, but dont get scared off. Hes an amazing professor with very entertaining lectures. Everything youre tested on is what he says (and usually doesnt write down) in class, so get ready to listen and write. 10 points extra credit on every test, though!

I know this is ridiculous, but I took a writing class with Corrigan in 1999/2000 and it was one of the most important, difficult, and useful classes I've had. Corrigan was challenging, thoughtful, and generous with his feedback. I still think back to that class 20 years later...

Best professor I've ever had. Highly recommend. He cares about the subject and is passionate about teaching it to you. Lots of reading, but after you read it, he explains it in class and makes it so interesting. Every lecture was super engaging and is one of the few classes that I looked forward to doing the homework for.

Dr. Corrigan's class was such a privilege to be in. You can easily tell how knowledgeable he is and how much he cares. His lectures are always interesting and fairly easy to follow, given you did the readings (do the readings). He's a remarkable professor.

This guy is the epitome of an amazing professor. You can tell he very much enjoys what he is teaching. The lectures are very insightful of the material that is being taught, this man knows his stuff. The classes require a lot of reading so be prepared for that! Too bad our class was cut short due to COVID but I would take his classes again!

So he comes off a little scary to some, "Make an A good for you, make an F I don't care." He definitely doesn't care about your grade so don't even try with him, but he does care about you. Hid lectures are amazing, trust me, I hate English courses and I hate literature, but he's so interesting. he is such a smart man and I hope you take him.

I loved Dr. Corrigan! Hes an overall good professor as well as a good person. He does expect you to read a play per week, but those plays are quite interesting. Take your time on his essays because he does require 2 sources per page for the essay. There are only 4 grades for the whole semester which can be a good and bad thing.

Amazing professor! His lectures are very entertaining! He keeps it real and is very funny! Lots of reading assignments for HW make sure to do them and take notes! He is also lecture heavy so do yourself a favor and do not miss class! Make sure to take notes in lecture as well you will be tested over what he says! The only grades are exams!

Seriously amazing lectures, he's a really inspiring person. You can tell he really knows what he's talking about, and the way he structures his lectures makes it really easy to follow, and super fun to learn. Please take his course if you can! You'll be doing a lot of reading, but it's all really cool stuff you learn about.

The course itself is amazing, but you have to read a lot. Be prepared for a lot of great learning, but if you skip the readings, you WILL fail.

Definitely cares about his students. If you study before the exams it's very easy to earn an A, especially since he gives bonus questions. Doing the reading is super important, and he gives you the rest of the information in the lectures. One of my favorite professors so far.

Corrigan is a wonderful professor. Exceptionally inspiring lectures and an overall enjoyable class. The only thing I did not enjoy was that your grade is 100% tests. So, if you are not a good test taker, I would advise taking another course. If you are, though, you would thoroughly enjoy taking this class! Corrigan made me truly appreciate lit.

Dr. Corrigan is a very intelligent man. He knows everything there is to know about British Literature, and it reflects in his lectures. There are only 3 tests, so you have to do well on them in order to succeed. His tests are all memorization based and are exactly from his lectures, so you will need to study. Hard. MAKE SURE YOU READ. Otherwise...

One of the best professors I have ever taken. You will read, (like every other lit class) but the readings are interesting and not long. He also has detailed notes about the readings that make it easier to understand. You will get so much more out of this class than just learning about Brit Lit. Truly an amazing professor and human.

Changed my life. If you can't keep up with the reading, you're not going to do well, but he gives you everything you need for the tests in the reading and lectures, so you just gotta pay attention. Corrigan is the most inspiring professors I've ever had. He is extremely passionate about his subject and he is very kind towards his students.

He's very entertaining and passionate about what he's teaching. He clearly doesn't want to just read off a PowerPoint and type in grades; he wants all of his students to retain something that they can take with them in life. Listen to his advice. First (and probably last) professor that has had me leave a lecture thinking about how great it was.

Corrigan is a good professor. He is very set in his ways but he's also very smart. Most of the lectures were super interesting, but be ready to read a lot. He also posts all of his lectures on d2l so that's helpful. He's a wise older man with a lot of experience, but I just wish there was more of a buffer for grades.

Dr. Corrigan is a great professor, who takes a normally difficult and boring class, and makes it interesting and fun. He is a very decorated teacher, having won multiple awards, and he even has books published. He is passionate about what he does, and cares about his students. The class is definitely difficult, but he makes it enjoyable and fun.

I took Dr. Corrigan for both of my Shakespeare courses. I will admit I was a bit intimidated by him at first. However, his class has by far been one of my favorites in the class. I will say he is very inspirational. You can tell he is passionate about what he teaches, and he loves when students participate in his class!

Had him for Shakespeare 1 and loved it! It's really clear just how passionate he is about the topic, so the classes were always engaging! We covered a new play each week; one meeting was him lecturing and the other was discussion based. There were only 4 assignments in the course, but he grades fairly! Taking English Renaissance with him in spring!

Your grade is made up by 4 tests (no papers) and thats it, and the tests aren't easy. There's also a LOT of reading outside of class. Be ready to prove you did the homework in class too. Very history based as well as litarature based. However, the class is super interesting and the teacher is super passionate and experienced.

He is a really great teacher and keeps his classes engaged. He really cares about what he's teaching and very passionate in his teaching. You will definitely learn in his class. He only has four grades for the semester, and they are all test that were very difficult. The test were just very specific. His class requires a lot of studying.

I genuinely enjoyed this class. Professor Corrigan made every lecture very interesting to listen to, it felt different than any of my other professors. I want him to read me fairytales and tell me scary stories.

He's the kindest guy ever and you'll never find someone who cares so much about their job

Corrigan's class is challenging but engaging. He's passionate and makes the material interesting, though you'll need to stay on top of the readings. Unstuck ai was a big help for studying.

Incredible professor, lots of reading but you'll never find someone more passionate for this job and someone so willing to share that love of literature with people who want to learn.

This professor is genuinely one of the most passionate people I have met when it comes to his work. He gives such valuable insight into the readings we do and gives plenty of time to ask questions and will answer them in full. He gives us lots of amazing perspective on life. There is lots of reading, and the only grades are through exams, worth it.

Dr. Corrigan is an amazing professor, just very strict. He lays out in the beginning that if you will not take his class seriously you should leave. If you are not prepared, he will ask you to leave class. Just make sure to do the homework and be able to engage with the material, and it will be a very enjoyable class. I learned so much!!

IF YOU HAVE AN A BEFORE THE FINAL YOU ARE EXEMPT.He can be rude but if you email him often and are polite and word your emails well he won't be.He is a really good teacher but the course is really difficult.he yaps a lot but when he has a lot of good information.He is happy to answer questions as long as you ask them.DONT SKIP or you are done for
