What more needs to be said here, other than "YUM!!!" Not only is he incredibly attractive, but he is also extremely intelligent and funny. His classes are well organized and enjoyable to attend. (Did I mention he's HOT???)

Lots of readings, but an overall interesting and enjoyable class. Prof. Hewson really makes the class fun! (Love the impressions!) Oh, and I wouldn't mind going for a little "after school help", if you know what I mean ;)

Kind of boring but a great class to practice your doodling.

great

he actually bothered to tell the class that every sentence should have a noun and a verb... I thought the point of university was to weed out the idiots that didn't know that stuff. And yes, he's really sexy.

A lot of boring readings, but he at least aknowledged that they were boring! Tried a little too hard to be funny, and other times, was too serious. The man also can't dress, but he's over all a pretty good prof.

Most of the time he dresses really well and looks really good oh yeah and alot of the material is dry but he makes it somewhat bearable

hes hot. and he dresses really well. good class too.

he gorgeous! and he's very patient and explains things clearly when you need help. a very harad marker though!

Incredibly dynamic with the class. I don't think I could have fallen asleep if I had tried. Even when I hadn't done the readings he managed to make the material fascinating. And it helps that he's extremely good-looking and knows how to dress. A bit of a hard marker - because he's so demanding.

He is fiiine! He's absolutely gorgeous! and he's great with making the most boring material interesting.

the man is gorgeous, i go to class just to look at him...oh and he s an excellent professor too - keeps thing interesting even when you thought they COULDN T be.

Good prof who does a good job of making uninteresting material seem interesting. Lectures are excellent, but he demands a lot on assignments and marks hard.

Can't believe someone said he can't dress... loved the pink shirt and khaki suit ensemble... classic... but as for TEACHING, quite clear, but requires long, boring readings. Many were 30pp+. But you learn a LOT from the man. He really knows his stuff. Asks a lot from his students in assignments

Soooooo easy on the eye and not too hard to listen to either. Kinda talks like a news anchor sometimes. He should be on the news. I'd watch. He makes the most boring things interesting. He could go up there and analyze a hermit nun's diary and it would probably be interesting.

Very nice boy....

VERY hot! Smart man. Really knows his stuff. Very helpful, throughly explains questions. Tends to give lectures like a news anchor, easy to understand though. Tough marker-and gives long* readings. You learn a lot though. Great prof! he's crazy cute too!

SO HOT!!! But excellent prof. Hard marker and long readings but so clear, analysis to a tee on everything, just so smart.

He has a nicer wardrobe than me! He is very knowledgeable in his areas and can answer any question at any time. He's just a little on the hard side when it comes to makring. Overall, he's a great prof!

This class was awesome!! I would recommend this class to anyone inetersted in English! Prof Hewson just made coming to class that much easier! Very inesteresting lectures and he is a fair marker.

Love this prof. Gives long readings that are sometimes boring but is always interesting and easy to listen to. Funny, intelligent, extremely well-dresed and way hot! Although he's a hard marker, the class is totally worth it. You learn a ton and have something gorgeous to look at while doing it. Second semester is better but did i mention he's hot?

Really liked this prof. Is very knowledgeable and doesn't read his lectures from notes. Although some of the readings are boring or long, the analysis is always interesting. He's funny and a little intimidating but is very friendly when approached. A bit tough on the marking but gives great feedback on essays. As an added bonus he's a total hottie.

Love him! Ignoring the Facebook group dedicated to him, this guy really is a great professor. Dynamic speaker, very clear when drawing parallels between authors and time-periods (essential in a survey course like Am. Lit.) and exams, while LONG, really reflect what he covered in class. Excellent!

seemed very intimidating at the beginning but he's approachable. alot of the readings are dull but his analysis is often engaging. good speaker - knows his stuff. VERY hard marker. i was a 1st year taking his 2nd yr american lit - not a good idea but managed a B. i'd take a class with him again though. he knows his stuff even though he's demanding.

Boring texts

hard marker, but consistent marking.

He made even the driest material interesting in lectures. Although he's an engaging prof, he's also an extremely hard marker. I recommend only reading the material he specifically addresses in class. Very easy on the eyes and always dressed to the nines ;) I found him a intimidating at first, but I soon realized it was just a front.

A very intelligent professor. Conveys subject matter effectively. The course load is quite heavey, 4 papers, a midterm and and final. His readings are long and boring but he knows how to engage his students in the literature very well. I do agree that he likes to disect everything through criticism. He offers great help if u ask for it.Hard marker

Intro to American Lit. I agree, he's always well dressed and he knows he's good looking. Very critical in his opinions. Very hard grader... he loves details. Don't leave any room for him to ask how or why you wrote what you wrote. His lectures are interesting and quite amusing. He loves the Simpsons references.

By far one of the most difficult Prof's out there. He is a very, very hard marker. The only way you will get by is if you agree with what he thinks. Still, he will find the slightest mistakes in your essay and give you an unfair grade. He is a nice professor, smart, a great speaker but he will make you sweat and go nuts and in the end, you'll pass.

Really enjoyed this professor. Slightly intimidating but friendly, helpful when approached. Readings can be long and dry but he always makes them interesting. Watch out for vague comments on essays because he's a hard marker but give's great feedback. Final exams reflect course content well and are a good way to boost your mark. Very good-looking.

To get a B in his class, you have to put the amount of effort you would into trying to get an A in another course. Extremely hard marker, although going to see him will make your grade better. Nevertheless, this course was the best one I've taken in my entire university career, because he just loves the subject that much.

He is very attractive and he clearly knows what he is talking about. One draw back is he is definitely using the bell curve or else he has something stuck up his bum because he keeps in the 60% region. I've spoken with other classmates, and they've received the same marks. A very very hard grader. BEWARE! Very fun class but hard at pleasing him.

He is very nice and funny in his lectures and he explains everything ALOT. HARDD MARKER. like wow. points out tiniest mistakes like missing or extra comments, or half an inch off margins.Hes cute for a professor,suit pants are too baggy and his suit jackets are too long. nice shoes. I did get a B though so I guess that makes me a genius.hes alright

He knows what hes talking about. Definitely one of the best teachers Ive had at Ottawa U, but hes not really generous with grades (not too hard either). Take his class for the experience, you wont get a very high grade, but it probably won't affect your grade much either.

Excellent prof. Sometimes a little bit long-winded but overall extremely knowledgeable. A hard marker.

Best lecturer I have experienced in University altogether. Very approachable, helpful. Lectures are interesting and informative. A+++

Marc Hewson's American Lit class was by far the best class I've taken. The subject matter is dry and boring and somehow I was hanging off of every word he said. If you attend every class you won't have difficulty with his exams, if not you may be lost. Great teacher!

Basically he is an extremely hard marker... I found his lectures to be interesting but, I didn't always do the greatest on my assignments or exams so I am not sure what he expects from his students exacly? I attended every class and studied like crazy but had a hard time. Be weary... Really tuff prof!

Took American Lit with Hewson two summers ago. All I remember is that I thought he was a great lecturer and I was always thrilled by how much I was learning. One complaint: I found him too intimidating, unapproachable. I did well in the course (A), but I wish I could have connected with him more.

He is a great lecturer, but when it comes to marks the papers you write, he's a hard marker. So make sure that you get it review by somebody who Ace their bachelor in something relative in English. Also, make sure to attend classes, since what he talks about can be useful for your paper.

Very good prof. But really hard marker. I still got higher that 65% in my assignment (I am proud of myself). If you want a A wit him, work really hard (probably do a all nighter) and have someone who did really good in English to review your work (structure, grammar, etc... maybe the textbook or movie if they have taken the class has well).

Easiest marker I've ever had. He gives you all the essay topics at the beginning of the semester so you know what to look for when you do the readings and watch the movies, and all the lectures are on exactly what you're going to be writing about. Don't know how you could get through his class with less than 80.

Lectures with passion and a sense of humour. A lot of reading but he makes it interesting. This is not a bird course but he allows you to choose which novel you want to write about. 10 page final take home exam is redundant but easy to write. Recommended,

The course is easy, but i recommended you to read the book. I tried the do the course without reading the book (not a good idea). You will pass the course, but not with a high note. I didnt like the theme of the course, but still its interesting nad he seem to be love what he is doing.

funny teacher, easy to listen to. You can tell he knows what hes talking about, But hes a tough marker.

Very thorough; good prof. However has high, almost unachievable expectations, marks tough. But you can tell he cares for his students; yesterday a classmate felt faint in our DGD, he helped her lay down, gave her his jacket, and took care of her until the paramedics arrived. Won a lot of respect from me. Nice to see a prof who is as caring as Marc.

He's very clear in his lectures, though what was covered was quite boring. Not a big deal if you miss the class. He's very personable though and seems to really care about his students. Is there to answer questions during DGD's and clarify things. Impossible grading but overall recommend the class.

he is a really good lecturer especially considering the fact that our lecture was at 830, hes funny and makes the lectures slightly interesting considering how boring workshop to essay writing can be. he is a bit of a tougher marker but if you pay attention and try youll do fine!

HOT. VERY HOT. If you need extra help he is very open and available to support you. Tough grader but if you devote time to your essays you will get a good mark. I got an 80 in his class (I am a Science student so not an english genius). DONT BUY THE TEXT BOOK. Worst 60$ ever wasted. Only useful when writing Bibliographies. Overall great teacher

Amazing the prof. Hilarious and really engaging in his lectures. Realizes when the class is dragging on and will let you out early. Very knowledgable. Assignments can be hard but going to office hours really helps clarify what he is looking for. Picks interesting stories to analyze.

One of the most interesting lecturers I've ever had. I'm a 4th year English major, so I took this course really late in my university career. He makes American Lit. hilarious, fun and exciting... Even the dark, gloomy puritan stuff. Amazing prof. Wish I had him in other courses. He deserves a FULL-TIME position!

He doesn't stick to a boring powerpoint. Instead, he likes to sit and just speak to the class about the readings and important content. Sometimes it's hard not to get distracted, but if you actually pay attention, he gives away almost every important point to the essays he wants you to write. He WANTS you to do well, so if you can, take notes!

One of the best profs I've had. His lectures are interesting and he's often very funny, and I had the 3h lectures. I would take any English class with him. Heave reading but it's all literature so if you enjoy reading novels, take his class.

Hewson conveys the material effectively, and his lectures are interesting and funny. He is also very helpful outside of class. I'm glad I had him for my American Lit class because I learned a lot, however, he is a pretty tough grader when it comes to essays and papers. The midterms are fair if you've taken notes and studied well.

Hilarious prof, spoke in a very casual and informal way that made it more encouraging for students to participate (felt like a conversation). I hope you like Westerns, because a lot of the readings/films are Westerns (good ones though). He was a bit of a tough marker, but the assignments were relatively small in length. Highly recommend him

amazing prof. tough marker but cares about his students.

Amazing prof, very funny and makes lectures interesting. Would recommend to anyone. He makes you work for your grade but it's not impossible to do well. Very stand up guy, best english prof at carleton!

He is the best Prof I have ever had in the university, period. Reminds me of Bradley Cooper in, "Limitless" but would prefer Gary Cooper. He is extremely verbose and loves to talk films. Highlight of my university experience. If you really want to learn and enjoy class,take him.

Friendly teacher, good sense of humor Not necessary to watch movies but will help when writing your papers Lectures tend to drone on. Though not necessary to attend, it will help on assignments Assigns textbook readings but not necessary *Unless you're a huge movie buff, you may find the movies to watch (and his lectures) very boring.

Super funny and interesting lectures, and a fair grader. Participation is not required but he encourages class discussion and facilitates it well, creating a really great class environment. Sometimes makes self deprecating jokes that are very funny, and he will drop an f bomb in every lecture. Love him, definitely recommend the course and prof.

I've had two classes with Hewson (both American lit). The first one I didn't go to class and tried to half ass it, and I paid for it. Second one I went to almost every class and took detailed notes and it shows. All you need to do is show up and pay attention. Some exams were open book and open device too. He's pretty fair.

Got A's on papers on books I didn't read and movies I didn't watch. Just check your grammar with a checker or something before you turn in your paper, and base everything off stuff you did in class (he basically tells you what to write about).

Cannot recommend this prof enough to students interested in Literature. Taking Prof Hewson's AM Lit and Modern Am Lit class was a pleasure, and you can tell he cares deeply about the material. Typically Two essays and two exams per semester. Pay attention to the themes that link all the texts together and build on those ideas in your paper.

Super funny guy who made 8:30 classes actually enjoyable. My only issue is that I took his class two semesters in a row and got two drastically different marks (as did the rest of the class) based on two different TAs with two different marking styles. Loved the class though

Amazing prof. I was a first year when taking his course and honestly, if you do the readings and go to the lectures you'll be okay.

Hewson is one of my favourite profs yet. His lectures are rich and compelling, and his delivery of the material is as intelligent as it is hilarious (not afraid to throw in some swears either). You really need to work hard on your essays, but you can get away with not doing much reading for exams as long as you take detailed notes and study them.

His class is very lecture heavy, but they are always captivating and funny! While there are only 3 essays and a final, be prepared to read a lot. If you go to class and do the readings you'll do just fine.

Though it's been quite a long time since I took his class, he is the most attractive and charming professor that I have ever seen in Uottawa. He is so nice, and he will help you to go over your essays and give you instructions when you are stuck. He will listen to you and communicate with his deep blue eyes. I'm so glad I can take his lecture.
