Great guy, funny, talks about sex, but that don't mean he's easy

Gives advice during test if you ask, class is tough, but interesting

Uphill learning curve.. Leads the way with wit!!

Hard, but I'm actually learning! Strange topics, just ask the family soup.

I luv Strong.

Excellent but tough. Hilarious, but he's no pushover. He'll do anything to help, though. Is VERY tough on absences.

Dr. Strong uses alot of mental images to get his point across. These are gross and disgusting. He tries to be funny. He is tough for test, study hard. He picks on students in class. Prepared to be embrassed. I am learning- wish his methods were different

He is hilarious... I think i lost the freshmen 15 just from laughing my butt off!

Very funny, class is hard, but you learn a lot. A good choice for Eng Comp 1.

Great Prof. He is very funny. Don't take anything personally, he just has his own sense of humor. He will try to scare you on the first test by saying everyone will fail. Just study for it, he tells you exactly what he wants. he wants us to do well.

loved loved loved this man, funny and he expects you to think on your feet, his expectations are high on tests and papers..wallflowers may want to take another class though.he knows his stuff and is super helpful..did i mention he's funny..ho ho ho

this guy rocks. people may complain about his style or about the difficulty of his tests, but they are BABIES!! i had so much fun in his class and learned a ton about shakespeare and literary analysis. college courses are not supposed to be easy.

OK,so this isn't the teacher for the weak of heart.If you want someone to hold your hand and spoon feed you an eduacation,don't take this guy.If you have any thickness to your skin whatsoever and don't plan on lazy-ing your way through college take him.

Best teacher I have had thus far. Hard tests...but you learn alot. He cares for the individual student and will go the extra mile to help you with anything.

Is a great instructor and very funny. Just take lots of notes. The first test is the hardest because you don't know what he wants...but stick with it, you get it after first test. He tells you exactly what he wants. Notes, Notes, Notes!

I loved this guy and I know alot of people do too. He's up for tenur this year so if you get a chance write a letter to the dean on his behalf...the comittee really likes to consider those.TAKE HIM, you'll never read ANYTHING the same way again.

I have had Dr. Strong for Engl and Lit and I think he is a great teacher. I have enjoyed every class I have had with him. He really knows how to teach English he but he wont tolerate slackers- they always drop his class the first few weeks.

Awesome professor with a lot of passion in what he teaches. As long as you go to class and take notes, you'll be fine. His classes are tough, but just a little effort and you'll be fine. He has a great sense of humor and is very helpful.

One of the smartest profs in the dept; quite a geek (+/-). Write down every word of his lectures and memorize. Zero tolerance for slackers/morons/moralizing twits. Do NOT take this prof if you're not on your toes. This is not your third grade teacher with the heart stickers; this is the real deal.

He's not a scary as he looks.

I had Dr. Strong for a World Lit class and he was great. I have despised every english class I have ever taken in my life, but I loved his. He tells a lot of stories and jokes and doesn't tolerate "slackers". If you take him, go to class and write exactly what he tells you to write and you will ace test that consists of 10 excerpts you analyze.

Oh My Gosh, absolutely one of the brightest people I have ever met in my entire life. Take this class if you want to learn from someone who knows his S***. Dont take this class just b/c you have a requirement to fill. Attendance and good note taking skills are a MUST, as well as wit and intelligence. Dont even THINK about slacking.

HARDEST FRIKKIN CLASS I'VE EVER TAKEN!! But worth it. This guy knows his stuff. Don't go to slack off, or if you're dumb..he'll make fun of you! Good sense of humor, willing to help if you TALK TO HIM! Write down everything, pray! or you wont pass his tests! Gives a great perspective...helps in future classes!!!

GREAT class! He is the most engaging and witty professors I've ever had. I learned a lot about myself in the class. His tests are hard if you don't study using his study guide that he hands out. You can't miss more than 3 classes or your grade starts dropping. There was not one dull moment in class, I think he is well worth taking!

I had him for a monday night class last spring and he was hard but I learned more from him than I have from any other prof. His class is so worth while and I love literatue now. He helps you think and you have to think in order to pass this class

Hardest tests I've ever taken but worth it. Not only is he one of the smartest people I've ever met, he is unquestionably the funniest. You might cry over the tests, but you'll be laughing till it hurts every other day. He has the best stories: woodchuck chasing, rabbit breeding, shooting geese. He's amazing.

I have had Strong for two different classes.... ive always thought he was a great teacher. If you do your work, show up to class, and take good notes you will be good to go

I'm not an english major, but I LOVED Prof. Strong. He is engaging, funny, and very knowledgable!

I thank the Scientists of Xanadu (or whatever L. Ron Hubbard wants us to thank *grins*) for professors like Dr. Strong. I felt cheated by the fact that I didn't take his class until my senior year. He requires you to learn - not just facts, but relevant concepts. And I'd be remiss not to mention that I'm more than a little bit smitten with him.

Hilarious! Best english Prof I've had. Is extremely knowledgeable and has you laughing from beginning to end of the semester. And you have to hear the "best story" about when he was a park ranger.

Strong is a very funny, knowledgable guy. Although his class is very hard, I believe that this man is one of the best Lit professors ever. I made a C in the class when I am used to making A's and B's, but he has taught me more than any other lit professor.

He is very funny, but makes sure you understand everything.

Non-Eng majors beware. Strong is an awesome lit teacher but he makes you work. If you're not good at analysis, take someone else. Strong's classes are entertaining and you'll look forward to going every week. Ask for help at any time, and he'll give it. Don't take if you have issues w/being teased - it's all lighthearted, but some can't handle.

The best teacher, but diffcult. If you have the chance to take him, JUST DO IT

Awsome professor! 1st professor that ever REALLY taught us how to write in college. He makes the class very interesting and you will laugh throughout the semester. He does make a lot of jokes and never means anything personal so don't take any jokes seriously. Just keep yourself light-hearted! I highly recommend taking his class.

He is very difficult and its very tempting to drop at first. However, it was my favorite most fun class to go to! his tests are hard but if you actually study like he says, you should be fine. i think im going to get a B and i suck at analyzing...take him!...hes hilarious!

Strong is a hard professor but completely worth it. He really makes you think and relate analyzing lit to everyday concerns and themes. He is HILARIOUS!!! One of my favorite lit professors @ UTTYLER. Take him!!! You will learn SO MUCH!!

The class is difficult and does require studying. However, it is the most fun and interesting class to actually attend. His tests are hard, but like he says he gives you ALL the information you need...go to class! I am horrible at analyzing but it was my favorite class last semester!

Very funny man. Class is worth attending- plus, you have to if you want a chance at passing. Tells almost everything to write on the test, but they are pretty hard if you're not good at anaylyzing (which im not) He's very helpful if you ask him. He gives help during the tests also.

This was by far the most fun I had in any class at UT Tyler. He made it worth attending, which his attendance policy would make you. Yes, it was hard but I learned so much from the course that will help me in life. He will "spoon-feed" the materials that will be on the test, but study and read the materials. He loves to tell stories!!!!

I have had Professor Strong for MANY English/Lit classes. he is the BEST English teacher at UTT by far! VERY FUNNY, Class is hard but he does that to weed out the slackers. TAKE HIM!

Professor Strong is my FAVORITE teacher! He is funny so he keeps you entertained. His tests are NOT easy but he allows you to ask 3 questions during the test. He is the MOST helpful and understanding person who really cares about his students. I would recommend him to anyone. Plus he kinda looks like David Cross with the humor to back it up!

Dr. Strong is very funny and entertaining in class. His test are pretty easy and he let's you know what is going to be on the test. You do need to attend class because his lecture is important if you are going to succeed.

Dr Strong is the best professor you would ever find. He is very easy and hilarious! he has jokess for days. I loved every bit of his class. TAKE HIM!

LOVED HIM!!! He is very funny and keeps class interesting. He does tell off the wall stories but they are worth it. Test are only like 7 questions but he tells you what to study. I would take him again if I had to!

Very helpful!! But you must be in class!! If you miss and get behind Good Luck!!

Extremely helpful, and an all around swell guy. Loved going to class because he made literature really interesting. Follow his guidelines, and use your three questions during tests their extremely helpful. You'll be fine if you just ask for help.

Doctor D's classes are better than a good vacation.

Dr. Strong has a good sense-of-humor and keeps class interesting. Brit Lit is not an easy class, but it is possible to get a good grade through effort.

Dr. Strong is a very funny and entertaining lecturer. The problem me and many of my classmates ran into are his exams are so hard. And I am a good student! you have 2 mini homeworks basically worth nothing and then your whole grade is based on the 3 exams. You do get three questions per exam so use them and use them wisely. Hard class overall.

Dr. Strong is without a doubt the best professor at UTT. He is absolutely hilarious, and does an amazing job of making all Lit. interesting. As long as you go to class, his exams are not hard at all. He tells you the analysis you need to provide on all of the exams in lecture, so make sure you attend.

My favorite professor of all time. He makes what could easily be really boring material and makes it super interesting. He tells frequent and funny jokes.

I came in to this class tired of English classes and of literature but Dr. Strong made this literature class interesting and fun. He tells a lot of jokes and life stories that keep class fun and they also relate to the material he is covering. BEST teacher at UTT. Hard material but if you actually go to class and pay attention you will be fine

Professor Strong makes his class interesting. He is very willing to help you as long as you go talk to him. I worked hard for the B I got. Doesn't give many grades so you have to do well on your test. Go to class, take good notes, and talk with him and you will do fine.

I thoroughly enjoyed his class. It was very interesting, however the tests are pretty difficult. I suppose to helps to study with a group, I don't know. I really liked coming to class, even though it was a morning class.

The class grade consists of three (3) tests. Really really hard tests. Just going to class will not make you pass. You have to take notes and study hard. The guy is funny but has a somewhat dry humor. Bottom line, if you aren't a good test taker and you don't get dry humor, don't take this class. Other than that, he's great.

Dr. Strong is extremely knowledgeable in Shakespeare. His lectures are long, but homework is concise. He, by far, has the quickest turn-around getting assignments graded. He is a VERY hard grader which is almost a downfall. Honestly, I would be hesitant to take another class of his.

Hilarious and fun, but definitely a difficult class. Do not take if you are terrible at English. Requires a lot of participation and analyzing of hard poems. Tests are impossible to study for, so you better hope you understand everything he says in class.

If your GPA is all that matters to you, then I would suggest steering clear of Professor Strong. If you want to read more critically, write more clearly, and learn invaluable academic skills, then take Strong. In other words, if you care about the quality of your education, do it! Also, hes hilarious.

Very tough grader. The only way to pass his class is to take very detailed notes. Only answer his questions exactly with his answers. DO NOT DEVIATE. do not skip. You will do some heavy reading, and don't think Sparknotes will help. His tests consists of him giving one line from the book and you must know exactly what book,what part, and analyze it

Strong is one of the hardest teachers you'll ever take I really enjoyed his class though I appreciated that he pushed me to think critically and to analyze poetry and life in a way that makes sense Several times in the semester I thought i can't do this I'm literally incapable of doing this and I did it and I've learned so much

Beware, if you don't like participating in class, Dr. Strong isn't for you. I thought the class style was fun and the exams really taught me text analysis in a practical way, 10/10 recommend

I heard some minor horror stories about how hard his classes were before taking this course, but I ended up LOVING the class. You have to come to class, or you will not pass his class. But you won't regret going! He makes every class entertaining and enjoyable. His tests are based entirely off of what he teaches in class, so take good notes!

I took his online grad class on Milton during the summer semester. He was tough at first! Once I understood what he was looking for in a paper, I did just fine. He provides very detailed feedback, and excellent video lectures each week. I honestly learned a lot from Dr. Strong and would take his class again.

Great professor, makes class entertaining. if you don't show up to class you wont pass. Test are difficult and you only get graded by a few assignments, mostly all exams. be prepared to take a lot of notes.

I've taken Prof. Strong a few times and you will never have a better and more knowledgeable English prof. He is really funny and makes going to class a lot of fun, however, his tests are pretty difficult and that's your ENTIRE grade. Show up, ask questions, listen and you'll learn A LOT.

Dr. Strong is awesome. Loves making jokes and wants the class to joke around too. Gives clear understanding of what he wants you to learn and think about. Brings modern day life into the perspective of 500 year old texts. Do the work and make intelligent arguments in your literary analysis. Youll pass without a doubt.

Dr. Strong is a challenging professor. Taking his classes made me smarter not only in his courses but also in all other classes. Many students decide from one class if they love his style or hate it- it's 100% worth trying at least one class with him. You might find your new favorite professor! The workload is light and he's easy to meet with.

I have taken two of Dr. Strong's classes and would take him again. He expects intelligent, thoughtful analysis from you but gives you the information you need to pass. The homework load is light. Usually, he gives two tests per semester. If you show up with a good attitude to learn he will value that. I gained a multitude of skills in his classes.

I loved Professor Strong! He makes the class enjoyable and tells you exactly what you need to know for tests. I learned a lot from him. However, there are five assignments: 2 homeworks and 3 tests. The homework is worth 10% and tests are worth 30% each, so if you are not a great tester or don't participate, I would not recommend taking this course.

Very enjoyable readings and literature gone over in the course and through the lectures you can tell he is actually really passionate and knowledgable over these while trying to explain every detail as fine as he can. A tough grader but seems like a nice guy wanting to share his passion.

Professor Strong's ENG2322 class is challenging but rewarding. Attendance is mandatory, and tests focus on in-class discussions. While his teaching style can be polarizing, Unstuck AI proved a helpful study tool alongside the textbook. Overall, an engaging yet rigorous course.

He's a good professor. Yes, he has very little grades, and yes, your grade is essentially based on sharing a similar view, and yes, he will be a little silly and a little much sometimes. However, less assignments means more learning time. His viewpoint is based on research. You're regurgitating it because it's material he researches to educate you.

Professor Strong has a reputation for being a tough grader, or someone who won't allow for creativity. However, this is not the case. This is my second semester with him, I'm taking him again next semester, and he loves to hear my arguments as long as I can back it up. He is smart, and cares for his students. You just have to listen to what he says

He's very good in person

I had a different experience with Dr. Strong than some reviews here. I found him to be very helpful, caring, and funny. I learned a lot in his class. At the same time I see how he can at times be condescending. I had trouble figuring out what exactly he wanted from me on some assignments, so I went to office hours. He was very helpful then.

As long as you followed exactly what he said in class and on assignments, you could earn a strong grade. Attendance mattered. He was funny, inclusive, learned students' names, and made class fun, sometimes letting us leave early. He was kind and even allowed me to retry an assignment, though I still didn't earn the grade I hoped for. great feedback
