Not bad at all if you talk durring class and put forth some effort. The thing with him is that you have to try. He's a little unorthodox but if you can find some rationality with him he's a pretty good prof. GO TO HIS OFFICE and talk to him out side of class... it'll make things pretty good.

Not really too bad a guy, but he can come off a lil' elitist at times. Sometimes got the impression he was trying too hard to be poetic or deep. It's sorta' fun, though, to have a literature professor that fits the steriotype. Make sure to actually read, word-of-mouth/cliffnotes won't help you.

I didn't like the class at all. The fact that you have to read sixty pages of 12 point-font sucks. His accent is hard to understand sometimes, and the hand gestures annoy me to no end. It's also very hard to take notes when they are randomly scattered about the board. Very disorganized.
