He made class really interesting, and he is soooo funny! I deffinitely recommend his class.
He is a wonderful teacher and also really funny. Just make sure you read the assignments and do the journal papers. I have learned so much more about literature and poetry from his class. He is awesome.
He is a good teacher with a good sense of humor. Make sure you do read your assignments, and write your journals and you will enjoy the class more. He is a good teacher.
Bro Dev is the best teacher! He is so helpful in all the assignments he gives out and makes the class fun, exciting and interesting. He's the best and his classes are great!
Made the class fun and interesting! I've liked it from day one.
I hate english but he made it fun and I got an A. wow
This guy is the best teacher at this school. He is funny, smart, and entertaining. If I wasn’t so distracted by the cute girl sitting next to me, I would have gotten more out of the class. I would recommend him more than my own mother!
It's great! I love going to class and look forward to the discussion every day. Keeps the comments rolling and always has a direction to go in. He's funny and fair and definitely wants his students to succeed.
Come on. It's Bro. D'Evegnee.. Need I say more?
He is an amazing golfer and an even better English teacher. HOTNESS!
Brother D is awesome! He is by far my favorite teacher and would recommend him anyday. He is great about helping you with papers and is just an all around nice guy.
Amazing teacher. Extremely helpful. All homework relevant.
Hes soooo cool! I have never liked an English class as much as this one, its challenging but he helps you SOO much and it is very easy to participate, and he is easy to talk to and is so funny haha 70% of the class we are havin fun learning and 30% laughing! lots of writting and reading but nothing crazy
One of the best teachers I've had! he makes you earn your grade and work hard, I got a lot out of the class!
He is an awesome teacher. He really cares about his students. He's kind of like Morrie (Tuesdays with Morrie), but... not dying... He really helps you out and the class is way fun! I highly recommend Bro. D'Evegnee!!!
He doesn't just think you should know how to write and not help you. He will walk you through everything and make it so you know exactly what your doing.
Bro. d'Evegnee is an extremely proficient teacher. He knows the material and is great at teaching it in an understandable manner. He expects his students to be responsible and work hard. Great class. I highly recommend it.

Brother D'evegnee is such an awesome teacher!!! He's extremely funny and knows how to have fun and teach at the same time. He explains everything clearly. He was one of my favorite teachers by far!!! prepair to have fun and laugh! oh ya, and learn :)
Funny guy, though he gets carried away in his humor and tries to make things funny when they just aren't. Difficult, but the syllabus is very clear. he's willing to walk through things step by step with you. Everything is do or die with him. This guy will teach you to tread water for sure!
Brother Harrell is the best teacher I have ever had! To him, the learning model is natural, and he's the only teacher I've had actually get it right. The class works together, and he knows how to lead the discussion. He understands what we need as students. I'll take his classes as many times as I can.
AMAZING TEACHER!!! I learned so much and had fun while doing it. He was honestly the best teacher ive ever had...then i had his wife. She puts the cherry on the top!
Brother D'Evegnee is amazing! I just took the class because it was required for graduation, but it ended up being one of my favorite classes. Three papers are required over the semester but if you go to class you will know exactly how to write them. Great teacher, great insights, very helpful. Highly recommend!!
Brother d'evegnee is an AWESOME teacher. My favorite in the english department!!classes are always a lot of fun and the discussions are really interesting.There are about 2-3 analytical papers due each semester (normally around midterm and one at final) but they aren't hard. Easy quizzes every now and then if you do the reading so do it. TAKE HIM!!
(This class replaced Eng 111). He's a challenging teacher, but he gets you to think harder. It's a really enjoyable class. He doesn't grade the foundations papers, though. It's all peer grading, but he does appeals. It was one of my favorite classes by far! Really helpful and answers questions always!
Very funny, respectful, helpful, easy-going, knows his stuff
Not a lot of homework, just 3-4 papers. Funny
He is a great teacher. I am glad that I took English 111 from him. You have quite a few papers, but he gives you plenty of time to work on them. I would highly recommend him.
I loved Brother d'Evengee! I've had him for three english classes. At first he seems really hard, but then if you do the work, do the reading and GO TO CLASS it's not that bad. He's the reason I love English. His essay's aren't that hard, and he's so willing to help you with them. the discusions we would have in class were amazing. TAKE HIM!
This class was not an easy one. I would not recommend taking it at all. The teacher was fun and all. However sometimes you can tell he had limited patience for you if you didnt get it. Not very friendly during those times.
Brother d'Evegnee was fun at first and i liked him until he turned my grade from a 95 to an 82 because i texted in class one day. Grades should be based on homework and tests not if you texted or fell asleep in class. I do not recommend taking from a teacher who jeopardizes your grade for something so insignificant
Brother D'Evegnee is a stud. Dont hesitate to take his class its chilled out and you learn. You write 3 papers all semester and he does appeals. He walks you through it step by step so theirs no reason you shouldn't get an "A" unless you break his clearly noted rule of no texting in class.
He was an extremely insightful teacher and his viewpoint changed how I write today. He is willing to work with all students and help them in any way possible. I would definitely reccomend taking any class from Bro. D!
He is a gifted teacher. He is genuine and interesting. It seems like you have an aha moment daily in his class. He is the reason I changed my major to English. Anyone who wants a true education in the liberal arts should take him.
Bro. D'Evegnee Was AMAZING!!! I don't like English and never have but this class was wonderful! He taught me an entirely different way of looking at writing. I would and do recommend this teacher to anyone! There is work but every assignment taught me something helpful and was worth it. No busy work.
Bro. D is one of the best teachers I have ever had! He is a genius--I learned more from him than any other professor in my college experience. He genuinely cares for his students & is willing to meet outside of class for 1-on-1 help with papers. He is incredibly kind & has a great sense of humor. Class time is always meaningful & enjoyable.
awesome guy i really like him. he uses the honor code as a principle rather than a law and this makes his teaching style very unique. :) he's the bomb
He has been the best teacher I have had in college! He is such a genuine guy and really strives to make school fun. He makes lots of jokes and keeps a very casual feel in the classroom while still helping his students learn a lot! If you must take this class, take it from him!
I cannot say enough good about this man. His ability is rare. His teaching is life changing stuff. You will never think the same - and that's a good thing.
You may feel buried in work but none of it is busy work. It seems hard for a 200 level course but you walk away with a deeper understanding of what it means to be an English major. He is more than willing to take time to help you on assignments if you come to his office during his posted hours. Again he will challenge you, come prepared.
I didn't know what to really expect of him at first but defenity one of the best professors I've had. He really does help and want his students to do good. He's always kind and genuine. I would def. take another English class from him!
He is a JERK and makes fun of other students from other classes in class. Didn't feel comfortable talking to him, although he does give 1 and 1 time to go over papers. He made me uncomfortable. I don't like English and it is definitly not one of my strong points and Bro D made it worse.
I used to hate writing before him. I like it now. We learned a lot and the class is not hard. Homework was kept to a minimum. There is nothing bad to be said about him. If you want to have a easy A in writing take him.
Best teacher ever hands down. So much fun. I hated english until I took him. HE makes you laugh and is very reasonable with grading and understand students needs. I would definitely take him again.
Bro D is awesome! He makes the class fun and relaxed. He is very willing to work with you and is fair with grades. He makes an effort to get to know his students, and tries to incorporate class discussion daily. English is not one of my strong points, but I enjoyed his class.
Brother d'Evegnee is one of the best English teachers on campus. He keeps things entertaining and challenging at the same time. He material is pretty difficult, but he discusses it til you understand it. This was the second class I took from him, and I am taking one again next semester. He rocks.
awesome teacher! keeps class fun, really tries to involve everyone in the class. Super helpful. My writing is probably 10x better because of him. Material is amazing, a little hard to adjust to at first but it gets better!
Brother d'Evegnee is one of the best English professors on campus. You can tell he's very passionate and knowledgeable about his subject. He always makes sure his students understand what's going on. I was always interested and am a better writer because of his class.
At first I was terrified of this class. Bro D seemed serious and the assignments seemed long. However, after two or so weeks I realized one, that Bro. D is hilarious, and two, that I was learning a ton! The subject and lectures are really interesting, and the analytic assignments really open your eyes. Tests are hard, but it's a really good class.
Brother d'Evegnee is one of my favorite professors. I've taken many of his classes, and have loved each one (even the ones at 7 AM, and I'm not a morning person). I especially loved 370 because he was so passionate about what we were learning. He gives a quiz every day, so read your book (don't worry, they're pretty interesting). He made class fun!
As an English Major, I can honestly say that he's my favorite professor ever. He will challenge you, but his class is not impossible. He's funny, but it doesn't detract from the content. He expects you to be brilliant and that made me want to step up and do my best work. Truly a teacher for those looking to improve themselves and their writing.
Bro. D'Evegnee seemed a bit intimidating at first, but he turned out to be awesome. Although his class was a bit challenging and his homework normally took over an hour to finish, he taught great lessons in class. He helped me to understand poetry far better than I ever thought I could. Beware of quizzes over the homework.
This was an AWESOME class. I highly recommend getting started on any writing assignment early because he expects good work. He's really funny and he's willing to make jokes and laugh with you during class, and I really appreciated that. Overall, just an awesome teacher with great passion for writing!
The first day of class I was highly regretting my decision to sign up, but as the semester went on it became one of my favorite classes. Brother d'Evegnee is a fantastic teacher, but definitely challenging. It's one of those classes that is super fulfilling to take- difficult, but makes you learn and improve a lot.
D' is sharp, prepared, and passionate about literature and lit theory. He will push you to be a better writer, rhetorician, and reader. If you're smart, you'll take him, and then he'll make you even smarter.
Brother d'Evegnee is one of my favorite English teachers that I have ever had. He has great lectures and gets you thinking in a way you haven't before. He has some pretty interesting articles that you read and he helped me look at writing in a different way. I would recommend him to everyone I know!!
I LOVED taking this class. yes, there is a lot of reading and HW, but you learn so much about English doing it. I've never learned so much in my life. His lectures are amazing and class time is so fun. There are little quizzes but if you read then they are simple enough.
Best class I took in college, hands down. Take every class you possibly can from Brother D.
Phenomenal professor. He really helps you learn and uses the text daily. It is a lot of reading, but its a literature class. thats to be expected. pay attention in class and take notes as there will be things from lecture in the exams.
I absolutely loved this course! The reading material is diverse and interesting and he tries very hard to make every student's insights important to the discussion. An insightful and professional teacher!
This class can be irritating at class because of how much you have to read but all the books we read were amazing. Some were rough to get through but you will love them. Class is just discussion. There's a midterm and a final that aren't hard and there are two papers. As long as you work to do those well, you're good!
I went into this class thinking I knew everything there was to know about English but taking this class made me realize how much there was to learn. Bro D'Evegnee really opened my eyes to a lot of things I hadn't taken into consideration before. You have to work hard for a good grade but you'll get a better literary understanding out of it.
I had him for analysis--a subject I really don't enjoy--but he was so funny and such a good teacher that I probably enjoyed this class more than all of them. I may not have loved the course work, but I never wanted to miss his class. He was so helpful and so kind and all around phenomenal.
The professor is patient and explains information wrll. Literary analysis in this class gets super tricky, but it makes you think really hard and takes you to a higher level of thinking.
He's really clear at explaining what we're talking about and leading the discussion into places that are interesting. This may be the class I've learned the most in since I've been at BYU-I
Bro. D'Evegnee is awesome. Definitely one of my favorite teachers. He doesn't pile on a bunch of unnecessary homework and offers great insights into books. He's respectful when you disagree with him about literature and is clear about class expectations. Class discussions are great.
I like Dr. D'Evegnee is funny, and wears argyle, but his lectures had me disliking my major, then in other classes my love for English would reignite. He is a true Formalist. The issue is that historical context augments literary facility substantially-- Frost, Shakespeare, and even Rawling all had formal educations in Greek and Roman history.
Professor d'Evegnee's postmodernism class is awesome. He is funny in an understated way, his quizzes are easy, and the in-class discussions and lectures are inspiring and exciting (if you like literary analysis, anyway). He explains complicated postmodern theories clearly and encourages student insights and comments. Tough grader, great feedback.
Eric struggles from an overdeveloped sense of self-worth and importance. He does not think there is any reason to miss class. Yet the reason I am giving him a poor review because he failed as a teacher. After this class, I have no idea what I do well in my writing. I don't know what I did poorly. I don't know how to improve.
Something about Professor D'evegnee seemed sinister. The work he assigned is worth doing but his lectures are intense and uncomfortable. I will never take a class of his again.
Brother d'Evegnee is the GREATEST teacher I have ever had. I literally considered stalking his son to marry so I could have d'Evegnee as a father-in-law... no joke he's that great. I learn so much in this class! Once he canceled class, and it ruined mine and my friend's days. Do yourself a favor and take his class!!
Brother d'Evegnee is a really considerate and funny guy, he encourages participation and his class is always comfortable. He enjoys being a teacher and helping others learn.
Brother d'Evegnee has been my favorite professor. He makes class very enjoyable and I have learned a lot from him! I would definitely recommend him.
He's a teacher you can talk to; he cares about his students and is willing to be friends with them. There are a few assignments a didn't do well on, but I felt like he knew I could improve. I feel good walking into that class. His lectures are clear, and I always know what he expects. If you do the work and show up you'll do well.
So I normally hate English classes but Brother D'Evegnee is the best. He is really good at not making you do a ton of busy work. He teaches you exactly what he expects in your writing. He helped me grow so much and he always keeps class interesting. Super hilarious and caring. He also learns his students names and cares about what is going on.
He is a great teacher but if you miss more than 2 days you drop half a letter grade and its near impossible to keep up. So DON'T MISS CLASS. Otherwise he is a great teacher and I have learned more from him than almost any other. He is also hilarious with a quirky fun sense of humor. Take his class! Totally worth the work.
He's hilarious, but he always keeps things relevant. Lots of reading in the beginning of the semester, but it eases up pretty early on. Lots of group discussions in class, which are always super helpful, especially in the process of each essay. Don't think you can really misstep here.
I think this class was the first class I've taken where there was so much work, but rather than hating it, it felt incredibly rewarding. Bro D really made me see stories and other lit in a whole new way. I'm now much more analytical when I read things. What I learned from him stayed learned and is a positive part of my life now. Thank you!
Bro d'Evegnee is an incredible English teacher and a fantastic choice for ENG301. He is funny, caring, and even though he seems intense about papers, he grades pretty easily. Do the readings and participate and you'll do great.
I enjoyed the class and the teacher, but it was hard to understand what your grade was. The lectures and discussions are interesting and very in-depth.
Brother d'Evegnee is AMAZING! He's funny, gives students good feedback, and he helped me see the world and literature through a new perspective. He is very clear and detailed in his teaching; he walked us through analyzing literature step by step and then allowed us to use that knowledge to make our own inferences. 10/10 would recommend!
Lots of discussion about poems, stories, and plays. Very interesting. Brother D'Evegnee really knows his stuff, his lectures are never boring, and he's a pretty funny guy. You definitely need to put in the effort for this class though, he doesn't hold your hand. You will be pushed to grow in the best way.
Brother devegnee wears me out. His essays are so weird and unnecessary. He is a big fan of busy work. He also has you type everything single spaced... who liked reading single spaced papers like what? Would not recommend, find another teacher. Also never learned how to pronounce his name
Brother dEvegnee ignored my emails several times. His lessons were free-for-all discussions and I didnt learn anything new. It was basically a watered down version of high school AP Lit. The grade weighting was heavy on a few assignments. I never got good feedback, just random points off my grade. Rubrics were often conflicting and confusing.
Would cancel class for no reason. Took off points for no reason. Heavy weighted. Mid-term was on material that he did not teach in class. Did not respond to emails. Made me feel stupid. I met with TA's twice a week and worked hard for a grade I did not deserve. Wouldn't put in grades. Acts like he cares, but doesn't. Never will take from him again!
Brother d'Evegnee was great! Always takes the time to answer any questions you have in detail, and tries to make class engaging and relevant. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. I took ENG250 and ENG301 from him and they were both great! Very informational and definitely learned a lot from him- 10/10!
Brother d'Evegnee is the reason I changed my minor. I used to love english, it was my favorite. Now I dread it every class. Does not respond to emails, and makes rude comments about students in class. I took him because someone said he was so great they would marry his son...?? well we would obviously have VERY different opinions on that. AVOID HIM
I did not enjoy this class. I feel that this professor did not grade based on what I wrote but more on his personal opinion. When asking a question he was brief and seemed annoyed by his response. I had 100% attendance and still somehow miss the information he expected us to know. Would not take his classes again.
Classes are pretty chill. Beware of his little quizes each week, he only gives you like 2 minutes for a 10 question quiz because "you should know all the answers" So kinda weird about that but he cancels class a lot to give you time to work on your papers so thats a plus. Make sure you read the books and you'll be good.
Brother D'Evegnee is great. His class felt like a typical English class, but I liked who he is as a teacher and the discussions we would have. I didn't feel like students had the opportunity to talk much and share their own ideas, but I do think he is very knowledgeable in his subject and the things we discussed.
Super nice, fairly funny, and you can tell he knows what he's doing. His lectures are usually short, so most of the time you leave class a little early, and he cancels class for writing days all the time. A WARNING: almost every time you have a reading, you'll have an in-class quiz to do. Just make sure you read and come to class on those days.
Brother D is....eh. He's okay and the class was fine. Not a super fun or interesting class. I'm good at English so I didn't struggle, but I also don't think I learned a single thing. Not too hard of papers, but he doesn't give someone an A on them unless you go over the top with the papers.
D'Evegnee is a great professor! His lectures are great and to the point. He's funny and extremely helpful. The class is based around 4 papers that you'll write, and he has optional writing workshops where you can ask him and the TA questions and get help! I highly recommend him as an english professor!
Brother D'Evegnee is very witty and funny, which definitely adds to a brighter mood in class. We are asked to read poems/short stories and readings from the textbook weekly. If you stay on top of the readings, then you should be fine. Other than that, his lectures are SO INCITEFUL! I feel like we solve the world's problems in class triweekly!
I loved having Brother d'Evegnee as a professor. Honestly, I've never enjoyed reading, but after taking his class I have taken on this newfound love of reading and it's been amazing! He is so funny and such a good guy who cares for his students. He struggles with learning new names but still works hard to learn everybody's names. Great guy & class!
Not a fan of lit survey courses but this was one of my favorite classes. Bro d'Evegnee is hilarious and very knowledgeable/passionate about the postmodern era. There's tons of reading (although every lit class is like that) but I thoroughly enjoyed our discussions, even though some of the books weren't the most enjoyable to read. Very insightful!
The biggest warning I can give is that this prof is able to make every short story and poem a tale about feminism, racism, and privilege. I'm okay with it because there are a lot of right leaning profs here too. Brother d is one of the rare ones but it was a turn off for me. You might like it but he is not very accommodating to students.
Br. d'Evegnee is great! There's a good chunk of reading between classes, but if you stay on top of it, it's manageable. Great teacher for in-class discussions. If you're more conservative, I will warn you that some readings are about critical theory, but it's minimal and not preachy at all, great for other perspectives. Would recommend fs
I loved this professor. He was so good at being funny, relevant, and helpful. I felt like our discussions in class were the best I've had from any English class.
I absolutely LOVED d'Evegnee's class. He is my favorite professor I've taken so far, and I was actually excited to come to class each day. The majority of the work was reading the books (which were all fantastic) and discussing them in class, with two midterm/final tests and essays. I would 1000% recommend him and this class to everyone!
I loved this class! Everyday there's a short quiz and there are two exams, a final and a midterm. Brother d'Evegnee is an amazing teacher and a pretty easy grader. We had the best thought-provoking discussions in this class. I learned so much and I've honestly have never had so much fun analyzing literature!
