Isn't easy, but his class is pretty fun. You don't dread going.
One of the best professors still teaching. He's very easy to talk with and has a fantastic sense of humor. He knows his subject and you can't help but like him. Take him for anything you can!
He is very hard and demanding, but so helpful. He has gone out of his way multiple times to help me to improve my work. He's so cute, like a little kid!
wonderful professor, definitely one of my favorites. he presents material efficiently and clearly, and he makes discussion fun. i agree with the other's statement that he's like a cute little kid (i bet i know who said that two..). stuart's the best. :
Dr. Stuart is definately a yankee. You can just tell about him.
i just did this to put a hot tamale on here to help boost your esteem...because no professor should go without one...haha no really, you are adorable, like a kid!
Dr. Stuart is a good, but tough professor. He tries to be fair and listen to all sides in a debate, but occassionally he is cranky and tends to strongly favor his own opinions over what others think.
STUART I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS! hahahahahahahaha
Dr. Stuart rocks, you never seem to look at the clock when your in his class. He's so smart and really knows what he's talking about, plus, he's always willing to help you out and read your papers beforehand. And I agree, he is like a cute little kid.
Loved his class. Wish I could take more, but I'm finished with my degree, and I didn't like him THAT much that I'll hang around just to take his classes. Well, maybe if he wasn't married. . .
You Rock! You really taught me the joy of English.I have always struggled with Enlgish but you made the stories come alive.Time goes by so fast, I don't think I ever looked at my watch. I know you are reading this so I gave you a pepper...enjoy!&Thanks!
Dr. Stuart is one of those teachers that everyone wants in their class. He makes the most boring material seem somewhat interesting. He's really opinionated, but sometimes it's hard to figure out if he's stating his own personal opinions. He's great!
I know that you are reading this- I gave you a hot pepper, but I'm not going to tell you that you're cute like a little kid!!
The only thing that could make Dr. Stuart a better teacher is if he grew a moustache. Then again, he might look french if he did that.
CS rules.
Dr. Stuart is an excellent teacher. He really made us think. We had very interesting conversations in class, and I really learned a lot about myself because of him. He is an intelligent and insightful teacher. His class is never boring!
He's a hottie! He's a wonderful man who will go out of his way to help you in any way he can. He helped me become a better writer and acted as a guidance counselor when I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. :o) Love ya, Dr. S.
I have been separated from Dr. Stuart from a semester and the tearing of flesh that has resulted from such a separation has resulted in such a flesh/soul wound that I don't think will ever mend.
I almost quit grad school because of his class. He was always pleasant enough, but I had some serious issues with the writing assignments. I'm not sure how much of it was me and how much was him, but I won't be returning to Stuart's class.
Plays favorites all the time in class. I like him, and he guided us through the material ok, but I don't respect the favoritism. Also he's vain and overconcerned with his appearance. A pretty boy. If he would be more casual and fair to everyone, it'd rock
Totally vain and pompous, but get used to it. This isn't high school. He cares about ALL of his students more than most professors. He's a great teacher and not too hard on the eyes.
A little opinionated, but can see others' points of view sometimes, on his good days. He's a bright teacher that cares for all his students. You can tell he has favorites, but that's ok. Overall, I have learned a lot from him.
Enjoyn class.
Dr. Stuart is way obsessed with this website :) thank you for reading.
dr. s is a nice man who needs to relax. in class, he's dull, but i can tell that he is smart. i wish he could communicate better with us, though. right now, he's only nice to the pretty people who act like he's in their crowd just to kiss up. frustrating.
ballbreaker indeed
Dr. Stuart Rules! He is really there to help the students, with whatever problem they may have, class related or not!! I really enjoyed his class, you really get a lot out of it! He is the best!
He humor is very dry and usually says things to rile you. He loves to class participation. He is more understanding than he looks. He gives second chances on papers which is great. He is a great teacher who loves this website. Can i get extra credit for this? (Hint)
those of you who gave Dr. Stuart less than spectacular reviews are totally not the cool kids (even if you think you are). Because Stuart is awesometacular and will continue to rule when you are nothing but a restless cubicledweller. To those of you who know him not, take his class now,itll be good
good class
he is soft-spoken and very fine. couldn't take my eyes off of him. delish
the people in dr. stuart's class who give him bad reviews are obviously the ones who are making bad grades...or the same bad grade repetitively. dumbasses

one of the great professors in my life, amazing, makes the course material exciting. He is truely interested in his students, and is always willing to help them. very enteratining, if you get bored in class just notice the tie tacks
No Comments
Awesome! My favorite professor! He really gets you interested in the material and makes you truly think about the subject matter. I love the class and recommend him to everybody! Extremely helpful when it comes to writing papers and makes all his assignments and tests clear
No Comments
He is a harsh grader, however; he gives you a secong chance on papers. He makes all of the novels interesting. He always facilitated great class discussions. Even if you aren't interested in the discussion, you can just stare at him.
I hated this guy at first.He made us sit in a circle and speaks quietly.But you have to get to know him.This man LOVES teaching,and he is good at it.He is sweet natured,and quite helpful with paper re-writes.He knows his students.You may think he doesn't know your name or doesn't care about you but he does.Definitely take this man,he is inspiring!
Uber-fine! He's also a great teacher; one of the best I've ever had. I love the fact we sat in a circle and he was so relaxed he sat in a desk too. I will warn you: if you are a woman or even a gay man, you will have to fight to take your mind off how gorgeous he is in order to concentrate.
The best professor I have ever had!!! He is truly interested in his students, will ALWAYS take the time with you to discuss absolutely anything about your papers, no matter how stupid it may seem to you. Also very encouraging and notices progress. Extremely insightful and makes any material interesting-You'll love literature by the end of his class
Dr. Stuart is one of the two or three best professors I have ever had. He truly goes out of his way to be encouraging and helpful, and he makes it a point not to bore you to death in class. He makes you work, but it's useful, not busywork.
Love this professor! Take him if you get a chance. Does an awesome job of getting a discussion going in class. Lots of fun and very thought-provoking. Always enjoy his classes. Also very very helpful and every student gets plenty of help on papers-REAL help so you actually learn how to write
He is a wonderful teacher, and really helped me improve my writing skills. I absolutly love him, and he is hot so that just makes the class even better!
Best professor I've ever had, period.
Dr. Stuart is the first english/humanities teacher i've ever had that has made this subject matter interesting. He asks questions that make you think about why you believe things. He's very hard and picky on papers but he is very helpful and will make you a better writer for certain. If you have the chance, take his class!
Delish!
Truly an amazing professor. Probably the best english teacher I've had. Somewhat difficult teacher, but you'll learn to write better.
Only class I've taken in which I would check my watch in hopes that there was more time left. He's the best professor I've had.
A truly teaching teacher. I learned more about the research process and in-depth literary analysis in this class than in any that preceeded it. Will work you hard! 3000 pages reading in one semester.
Chris Stuart is Boring, unhelpful and arrogant. He is the most mind-numbing and uninteresting professor I have ever had. He grades hard also.
He did help me learn to focus my writing and I enjoyed his class most days. He won't let you off the hook when it comes to finding your thesis and paper re-writes are a must. ALWAYS willing to meet to talk about papers, will go the extra mile if you are willing to meet him half way. Take him for the experience alone, haha.
He's probably one of the best teacher's I've had. Sure, he does grade hard, but not just for the sake of being cruel. You will be a better writer for it. He will make you thinks about things. Rewrites are a must, but he is extremely willing to help you out. Sarcastic, but funny and very nice.
Be prepared to agree with HIS opinions in class, on tests, or on your paper...unless you're a guy in which he deems you a worthy oponent. If you disagree on a test, it's wrong, and on a paper you better have 10 pages of facts to back it up. He IS helpful with rewrites, but you have to experience the whole class with him as the only perspective.
He was very tough, but he was one of the best professors I have had. Was very willing to help you understand and made class very interesting
Dr. Stuart is a great teacher. If you go to class, read the material and take good notes you will do great. Plus he is really kinda hot! I think it is his confidence!
Dr. Stuart is the best professor at UTC- he's intelligent, caring, and excited about what he teaches which makes the class really interesting! He's also nice to look at :)
Dr. Sex and Death. The best. Difficult, but you will be a amazing writer afterward.
Quite possibly the best teacher I've ever had. He is extremely entertaining, and makes you cling to every word. Also.. hot! I always take his classes even if its something I'm completely disinterested in.. Never disappointing
As an English major, Dr. Stuart has helped me learn to write on a collegiate level more than any other professor. I'm able to easily make A's on other upper-level English papers because of what he taught me. Funny, interesting... he's a tough grader on papers but he allows rewrites and is very willing to help. I loved his class.
This class is HARD, but it is absolutely worth it. My writing has improved considerably. Dr. Stuart is extremely helpful, and always very clear when explaining things in class. Essays are really tough, but he will meet with you to help you get started and you can rewrite them. My favorite teacher so far. Plus he's hot. =P
This class is HARD, but Dr. Stuart is a wonderful professor. Dr. Stuart challenges his students in and out of class. His discussions are very interesting and informative. His essays are tough, but his feedback and rewrites make it worth it. My writing improved considerably and I feel like I earned by A from this professor!
This professor is GREAT! I can't praise him enough. THis isn't an easy class by any means, but it is a class that makes you think. Professor Stuart is a brutal paper grader, but he gives unlimited rewrites and he's very willing to help. He also is funny and fair. Take his class, you won't be sorry
I have taken Dr. Stuart for three different classes at UTC. He is easily my favorite teacher. He is earnest and fair in his grading and his lectures are always very thought-provoking. He is also really funny and willing to help. I would honestly take him three more times if I could. Do yourself a favor and take one of his classes.
His class isn't easy but he's a beautiful person and he'll help you with anything. Even if it doesn't have anything to do with his class. Best professor at UTC.
Wonderful professor! always willing to help you, but doesn't ever hand you the answer. He is funny and his classes are extremely interesting! I am taking a class again with him next semester!
Dr. Stuart is a beautiful person, inside and out. I'm a business major & took his class as an elective. I've never had such an interesting teacher who was so intelligent. His lectures are thought provoking and I highly recommended taking one of his classes.
I liked his lectures because they were fun and interesting. HOWEVER, he is not a fair grader. He even says that you will most likely not get an A in his class. Even attending every class, having a A+ quiz average,a high test average and actively leading the discussions it seems the odds are against you.
Dr. Stuart is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I thorougly enjoyed his class; I never missed one (though I'm prone to skipping others). It's a challenging course but well worth it. Stay on top of your reading if you want to do well in his class. *Take him!
I can't sing his praises any higher. However, please be aware that this is not a professor for lazy people. If you make a poor grade in his class, it's your fault. He demands a lot from student papers, but you have unlimited rewrites. Excellent readings selection. He is extremely approachable and is helpful with academics and life. Also gorgeous.
Dr Stuart is an amazing teacher! Class is hard, especially papers, but it is well worth the effort. I definitely learned a lot. Must do reading and go to class.
Survey of American Lit with Dr. Stuart is BY FAR my favorite class of college thus far. Extremely interesting discussions. He expects participation in class but it pays off in the end. Skipping this class is definitely not a wise decision, because everything is covered in the discussion style lectures. Definitely recommend!
Dr. Stuart is far and away THE best professor at UTC. He is a tough paper grader but is always willing to help. Class discussions are always wonderful, and it helps that he assigns great literature. He is also very attractive. So if you ever do get bored in class you can just stare at him. Even if you aren't bored you will probably still stare.
He gives long,boring readings but the quizzes are easy. He is very monotone so its hard to pay attention. He is very nice though and can be pretty funny. Always willing to help but his help isnt the greatest. Doesnt clearly tell you what is expected of each paper so you have to figure it out on your own. You might fall asleep in class.
Excellent teacher who cares at great depth. Hilarious. Contagiously intelligent. Highly accessible. Allows rewrites. Take the opportunity to learn from him because he will raise your level of inquiry. He'll also help you raise those personal standards that you thought were high but realized were so low compared to his. Don't miss out.
Dr. Stuart is a great professor who gives very useful feedback on papers. He lets you do unlimited rewrites too. He will make you work for that A on papers but is always happy to help during his office hours. He is easy to reach and willing to listen to your ideas.
I get through my week by telling myself I get to go to this class! By far my favorite and hes such a good professor. Super helpful if youll only go to his office and ask. The feedback he gives you on papers is amazing. He does tend to favor the more attractive people in class and hell make you feel dumb if he doesnt agree but TAKE HIS CLASS!!
Take his class you will not regret it! You will learn not only how to become a better writer but also be able gain in class discussion skills. Speak up in class even when you might be wrong, you will learn the most when discussing your ideas in his class! He gives awesome notes for your papers and will let you rewrite them. Just do the readings!
Ever since Covid hit he hasn't really been understanding.
Dr. Stuart is a really incredible professor. He really cares about his students. I really had to work in this class, but I didn't mind it that much because of how passionate he is about teaching it makes you passionate about learning. Don't take this if you're looking for an easy A.
Dr. Stuart is my favorite professor ever, ill be so sad when this semester is over. the class isnt super easy, but its extremely helpful to improve your writing skills. i dont even like english or reading but i genuinely enjoyed this class. 10/10 recommend (:
Best professor ever. I felt like he cared about me and was super into what he taught. there is a lot of reading but most of them have audio books you can listen to and read along. i loved this class and wish i could take it again
i really really love dr stuart, and he is one of my favorite professors i have ever had. people warned me about this class, but if you actually read the material it is a breeze. no homework besides lots of reading and papers. a few quizzes, but they are easy if you read. you also can rewrite any paper as many times as you want. love this man
Professor Stuart is a good professor, but his class isn't an easy A. He's an extremely difficult grader, but he gives good feedback. There's a lot of reading and he does give quizzes on them, but if you read the material thoroughly they aren't hard at all. His classes are really what you make them
The class was Values in 20th Century Literature. It's a discussion class, make sure you read the book. You have a week to read a book, then you discuss that book in class while reading on your own the next book. Over the semester, we read 5 novels and 4 short stories. He grades easy on the tests and quizzes, it's always about participation.
dr. stuart is an amazing professor. his class is super interesting, but it's a lot of reading. we had 5 quizzes, discussion posts on the books, and 3 exams, including the final one. attendance was mandatory, but we got 3 skips. just make sure you come prepared to class. he likes it when you speak up in class. great guy, definitely recommend!
Dr. Stuarts class was very fun. His lectures are very engaging. He allows students to rewrite their essays as many times as they want until the end of the semester and provides great feedback on essays. I had him for multiple classes and they were all great.
Oh, how to describe this man... Now listen, I do not hate this man because he's a difficult grader (though his feedback is often nonspecific or illegible), I hate him because his nose is so upturned he would drown if it rained. I had him last spring but realized I'd never made my disdain public. That just couldn't be. Overall, he's just aggravating
At first, I was unsure of Dr. Stuart, because he comes off very hard. Though he's a hard grader, he's always available to go over material and work with you to rewrite (which you can do for every paper, at any time). Assignments can be difficult bc there's not always very descriptive instructions, but overall I enjoyed Dr. Stuart and grew a lot!
Professor Stuart is the best English professor I have had. He is kind and always attentive to questions during office hours. He gives great feedback and I genuinely feel like he helped me improve. Being able to rewrite papers was great! He entertains all interpretations and makes you really think about what you have to say about the works you read.
Spectacular. Ruthless grading, but definitely strengthened my writing skills.
Forgot to post this earlier, since I took him last semester. I had multiple classes with him and grew SO much as a writer. His grading is brutal, but he lets you rewrite and will literally help you construct your argument. Go to his office hours!! He can seem intimidating, but he's actually very genuine and caring with his students :)
I absolutely love Dr. Stuart. He will make you actually care about English and what your reading. He also lets you rewrite papers as many times as you can before finals week.
Dr. Stuart is top tier. He's a difficult, tough grader, and you better read the course materials because you're probably going to be quizzed on it. However, he provides great feedback and allows for rewrites, and it's easy to get extra credit on the quizzes. Dr. Stuart is not afraid to talk about some heavy stuff, so be prepared.
The best professor I've ever had! He's helped me improve my writing so much. The class is tricky, but go to his office hours and he will help so much. He truly cares about his students, and that's evident. Take notes on the passages you go over in class for the final. We had 5 papers, and he gives amazing feedback on them.
Dr. Stuart is awesome, and gives some of the clearest feedback on essays that I've ever received. While he does grade slightly harsh, he definitely wants you to grow as a writer because of it. Be sure to actually read the assigned readings as he will quiz you, and the quizzes are a solid portion of your grade. Couldn't recommend him enough.
Lots of reading only to talk about a small portion of each & we only really talk about what interests him. He at least tells you when the quizzes are, and they aren't bad if you read (know the small details). Allows for essay rewrites and drops lowest quiz grade. Kinda condescending but he's a nice professor. Go to his office hours for essay help!
