One of the best professors around. He's very intelligent and teaches so you understand. He genuinely cares about his students and is definitely not too hard on the eyes! ;)

Genius. Wonderful and helpfull.

very intelligent and interesting lectures

An exceedingly intelligent, excellent teacher. Listens to students and integrates student interests and thoughts into lecture. And let's not forget that he is positively dreamy.

One of the nicest, mild mannered professors I've met. Exceedingly intelligent and a lot of fun to talk to. His sense of humor is great. You can learn a lot from him beyond grammar.

Interesting guy. I get the feeling that he has read every book in every language ever written.

Dr. Posner is one of the best professors I have ever had. He knows what he's talking about, extremely nice, challenging, and hot. Get to know him and participate in class. His class is a lot of work but worth the effort! (esp if you can get him to smile!)

He is much easier than Danford. He knows every book he talks about by the chapter and can really help you out. He grades you fairly based on what you hand in. His voice is really relaxing so don't go to class tired unless you want to fall asleep.

Approachable, helpful, and mindbogglingly intelligent! Assignments are relevant and pretty easy to do. And as the other raters commented he is DELICIOUS! Maybe next semester I can do some extra credit;)

OMG, this guy is amazing! He's not easy, but he's super super smart, super funny, and super HOT! I love him. If you can fit him into your schedule it's totally worth it! (especially if you're a girl...cause he's so damn hot!)

he's great - hard, but great. 2 tests, 2 papers. emails back quickly with amswers to all the questions you have. takes time out to help students. everyone in my class got higher than a C, pretty good.

Undoubtedly my most influential professor at Loyola. Made me a better writer, and a better thinker. Challening, but worth it. You'll get your money's worth.

i don'tunderstand how you can say this professor is hot. you are all crazy! his class is good, but he can do it even better. he's a cool guy.

Dr. Posner is one of the most erudite people I've ever met. It's simply astonishing how much he knows about.... well, everything! As smart as he is, though, he is never condescending, and he is a fairly easy grader (as long as you're good at grammar).

Although, i don't know how some people can call him hot (he's like a dad!), Posner is a great teacher. He grades really hard, but he definitely knows what he's talking about,

Fun class, interesting and well worth it even if you have little musical experience. He's a good lookin man, but go easy ladies, he could be your father. Seriously though, he knows EVERYTHING! study hard.

He's alright. Kinda mumbles, but really into what hes teaching. Yes, he knows a lot. A very hard grader. If you want a good grade, dont take him. Hes hard. But a nice person overall.

dr. posner is excellent, and can be really hilarious at times. he knows what he's talking about, and altho soft-spoken, can really get you excited about the subject. for this class we got to see 4 operas for really cheap, so if you're into that kind of thing then definitely go for this class.

Very challenging class. He is SUPER intelligent which made me try harder. Lectures are very interesting. You are expected to be able to identify passages from the diff. readings. not as hard as it sounds. He is also very sweet and understanding and available when you need help.

Extremely smart and funny professor. Very helpful, very professional. Because it's an honors course it wasn't easy, but he's a great teacher, couldn't have asked for anything more.

Great Teacher and EXTREMELY smart. Movies are all subtitled, so make sure you follow along becuse they go fast. Great class.

He graduated from Princeton. He's hot. You don't need to know anything else. Take it. Amazing.

not only is he so intelligent that you feel as though you learn just by sitting in front of him, but he LOVES him some zip-front shirts and might have a sordid personal life.. interesting man and definitely worth taking.

There's not much else that can be said about Dr. Posner. He does seem to know absolutely everything about everything. He seems a bit disorganized and gets off track a lot but whatever he's talking about is interesting anyway. I wasn't looking forward to this class but it ended up being amazing.

He's a great professor. Really understanding and helpful. Easy on the eyes, too!

Excellent professor--probably the best honors teacher to have. His lectures are compelling and his comments in discussions are always helpful. The "discussion" section is less discussion and more a second lecture, but that means you learn even more about the texts and it will help you do well in the class.

His lectures are always interesting and entertaining...especially when he throws in jokes and references to odd things. Helpful and very knowledgeable too.

Great professor, I really want to take him for another class. He is probably the best honors professor you can get. He really makes the stuff interesting, but DO NOT EXPECT AN A! I got a's in every other class but could not crack a B+ in this one. The tests are REALLY HARD as well

Dr. Posner is really excellent. He has a sort of cartesian way of looking at things, but once you get what he's saying, it's pretty interesting. He his extremely personable and very invested in his student. This class was truly memorable.

David Posner is a great professor. His lectures are very clear, he is very knowledgeable about what he's teaching and on many things he's not teaching, very approachable, and an all around good guy. I will also add he is not pompous. Do not confuse a high level of intelligence and confidence with pomposity. Take him for anything he teaches.

Posner is definitely the most interesting and lively of the Honor's professors. 2nd hardest grader only to Danford. He is definitely hard to please with papers, and shows some slight inconsistency. Still, he's the funniest and extremely intelligent. Take him!

really nice, very clear and intelligent, but a very tough grader. only take him if you tend to be more realistic with your analyses; different or theoretical theories (heh) aren't much liked by him.

Overall, a very good professor. A vault of wisdom in countless subjects, lucid, clear, and not pretentious. Also has a sense of humor, and isn't too mean when he destroys your inferior claims. Only problem is that he grades essays with too much focus on style, and not argument.

Dr. Posner is amazing and a genius. His discussion section always clarified everything for me, and he is actually really funny. You will learn a lot in this class, but it is not easy. Only take him if you care more about learning than getting an A. GREAT professor!

Posner is great and SO intelligent. The workload is really reasonable and he is a fair grader. Also, he is easily distracted/amused by the personal problems of the students :D

Fantastic discussion professor. His corny artwork is hilarious. You'll learn a lot. Super helpful and always explains the major points for exams during discussion through the semester. Fair grader, but focuses on style and syntax A LOT.

When I first saw the first day of class, I knew this was going to be a fun semester. He's extremely intelligent, funny, and a bit nerdy in a good way! He will scrutinize your essays with intent focus. His standards are high. However, that's okay! You'll do well. You'll want to do well. You'll leave his class satisfied and definitely smarter.

I took him last year for honors and it was a great choice. Honors in general sucks, but Posner makes it less painful. He's clear with what he expects and it's useful to go to his office hours when writing papers. His art work makes class more enjoyable. He's extremely intelligent and so secure with himself he's not scared to be himself

He is a nice guy and knows French lit. We spoke a lot in English which was a little disappointing, but he's helpful. Don't buy all the French texts in the beginning because we ended up not use 2 or 3 of them.

Posner is an amazing professor. Not only is he knowledgeable about european languages, artwork, and literature but he's also incredibly good looking for his age. He made honors a lot more enjoyable. TAKE HIM. Get on his good side though, and make sure to focus on stylistic elements in papers rather than strictly content..

You should definitely take him for honors discussion. He's interesting and funny and a pretty easy grader.

I like him a lot. Really good for Honors. He's super clear, funny and a pretty cool guy. One of the better honors graders. He focuses on style mostly. Really glad I took him.

I suggest showing up to class, because he does take that into account with your final grade. If you put forth the effort, he'll love you! Posner is one of the best honors professors I've come in contact with. He's so knowledgeable in everything we talk about and he helps clarify topics that weren't clear in lecture. TAKE HIM.

He's tough. Yet, the material came alive in lecture. He's also great out of the classroom when in dire need of an in depth explanation. He loves sushi and loves one on one conversation. Just take his class. You'll love it.

Professor Posner is an incredible teacher that geniunely cares about his subject as well as his students. I had him freshman year in UCLR100 and had him again as a junior for Lit tier 2 class. He was go out of his way to help you out if you show interesteffort in his classes! Definitely do the readings and be prepared for frequent, easy essays.

The books he assigns are actually really interesting and the papers are straightforward. He's really down to Earth and overall a great guy! His lectures can be a bit boring, but, honestly, it makes up for how interesting and nice of a guy he is. Read the books and pay attention in class then you won't struggle. Take him, you won't regret it!!

The books we read weren't always interesting but he is such a nice guy that it makes up for the boring subject and papers. He is super understanding, easy to work with and extremely flexible with deadlines. An A is not impossible, very doable.

"What's the point of giving an exam if you know your students are gonna fail it" David Posner. Princeton graduate, speaks more than 5 languages and he is without a doubt the funniest professeur here at Loyola. This guy is one of us, and you should definitely take his class if you're allergic to B's and below.

Posner is awesome. Everyone loves his lectures and his discussion is incredibly informative. Honors is a tough class and Posner fits that stereotype well. He is a tough grader, but he is fair and looks for improvement. It is Honors, you probably will not get an A. He has taught me so much and I hope to take him again with my later honors classes.

Discussion acts as a second lecture which is actually very nice. Very knowledgable and can be funny at times. As far as grading goes, he's about average as far as honors professors go, not the easiest but not the hardest. Allows rewrites for papers which is nice (and uncommon for honors professors)

Dr. Posner is a pretty good choice if you dont want to speak up in honors discussion. His class is basically a second lecture, and though he is dry, he is really funny and intelligent. Allows you to rewrite papers, which nobody else does. Fair grader, but Whidden, who I had last semester, is easier.

One of the two best honors lecturers (the other is whidden). Not personally in his discussion but I have heard nothing but good things from people who are. His voice is very soothing and he knows what hes talking about. Hot af.

Professor Posner is very intelligent and it shows during his lectures. He has interest in the material and it brings him joy when his students are interested too. Ask him about birds sometime - you'll thank me.

I really enjoyed my time with Dr. Posner as an honors discussion professor this semester. You will see a whole different side of him in discussion because you can tell he enjoys the opportunity to talk more about the books. But seriously, he is so knowledgeable it's amazing, and he's also a tough but fair grader and really kind! Highly recommend

Posner is a gift because he is the most down to earth professor I've ever had who is also very understanding that we have other classes to worry about besides honors. Definitely a fair grader. Besides for having a great character, he is also hilarious and incredibly smart, so leave your pillow at home- you will not fall asleep in his class.

While Posner doesn't have the best lectures, his discussion section is the best! While it's almost like a second lecture, he has so much knowledge over literally everything we talk about. He has a very dry sense of humor, which I find hilarious. He's great at explaining complex ideas from lecture (especially the heavy theoretical stuff)

A great choice for a professor - is very funny and chill and is very accessible outside of class. Cares about his students and is very knowledgable about the texts and is willing to help with any questions. He does speak pretty quietly and you have to keep up in order to take good notes in class.
