This Guy is the man, ive learned so much already, i thought i was gonna hate college english but i love it

I love this teacher, he is extremely attractive/witty. I looked forward to attending his class...(not just to look at him ofcourse)

I took both 102 and 220 with professor Bell and strongly disagree with most of the reviews here. He is very intelligent, and has been my favorite teacher at liberty. We used all of the texts frequently, and they are even worth keeping after the course. He bestowes a rare passion for the subjects on all of his students. Take his classes!!

Professor Bell is awsome. He's funny and really breaks down and explains the reading causing you to understand the impossible to read stories alot better. TAKE HIM if you want to learn and not work way to hard for it. Otherwise take Professor Davis.

He is very fun, engaging, and casual. really makes an effort to know everyone. While he does require effort, if you just do what you're supposed to then you will get a good grade. he was always more than willing to go over papers with me, and he was excellent and breaking down texts to better understand them. a real passion for his classes.

This guy is the best english teacher at liberty if you want to truely learn and have a good time take Bell. He will challenge your mind but thats what good teachers do. He truely has a passion for english and he is always very well prepared for class. My favorite teacher so far. Def a MUST TAKE

Such a cool professor! very funny and interesting, but he is a very hard grader. I came into the semester thinking I wrote good papers. came out thinking im always awkward and unclear! Nevertheless, he was the class that I learned the most this semester!

he's pretty flippin awesome

Great Guy! He is difficult, but he makes the class fun, and I always look forward to the class.

He is an awesome teacher!!!

I love professor Bell!!! The poor reviews are from people who don't want to work for anything. Bell's class is amazing, but you do have to work for your grade. He does grade hard, but fair. My writing and understanding of literature grew so much during this class. I would definitely take him again in an instant.

He isn't easy, but I LOVED his class. Sometimes I think he's a little crazy, but he's a great teacher, makes class fun, but also requires you to do work. I would definitely take him again. I don't even like english and I'm a terrible writer, but he made it one of my favorite classes.

Professor Bell is a really good teacher...He understands that students are busy and what they go through in school. He is a young teacher so he remembers what its like to be in your shoes. His discussions through literature are always interesting and projects and paper are actually fun! This class is not a 'give you an A' but is challenges you!

He made lit interesting. As long as you pay attention, you should have a great time with it. The essays are the only real homework, just make sure to apply yourself when writing them.

Professor Bell is GREAT! He's intelligent and passionate about what he teaches. He is so much fun in class. I absolutely cannot wait to take another class with him!

I really enjoyed him as a professor. He does a good job of keeping your attention, even in the early classes.He was easy to approach and took time to learn all of our names. However, the readings were long and boring! I read every reading and was still lost during class discussion.

He is an Amazing teacher, I had him for Engl 102 so i had to have him for 221.

Great professor. You can tell that he's really passionate about the literature and that is contagious. He's wicked understanding of his students and makes a serious effort to get to know everybody. He's a tough grader on papers, but that just motivates you to be a better writer. Quizzes are easy as long as you do the reading. Great class.

Amazing proff! He learned everyone's name in a week and made a point to build relationships with his class! He is by far the best lecturer i have had at LU and at my other college as well! He is incredibly smart and knows so much about his subject!

Alright, Bell is one of THE best teachers at Liberty. Mr. Bell tries to form a relationship with his class rather than teach the material and move on. His lectures are very enjoyable because he keeps you involved. Grades your essays hard, but ask him for advice and your much better off at succeeding. WOULD RECOMMEND!!

I hate English with a passion, I just do. However, Professor Bell is by far one of my favorite professors I've had thus far. He is a tough paper grader, but his singing in class makes up for it, haha. Plus, class is actually fun. Take him.

He's such a good teacher!! Amazing!

He was really good

AMAZING!!!!!! Take him!!! He is funny and interesting. His grading on papers is a little tough, but he tells you exactly what he liked or disliked on your papers and is willing to help you improve. This is the best recommendation I have ever received and I wish I could have him for every English class. Take him.

Great Prof! Lectures are usually funny and informative. If you read the book and pay attention, class isn't too tough. Best ENGL prof I've seen.

I love Prof Bell. he is extremely funny and if you participate, he will get to know your name. The interaction is great I normally do really bad at tests but he is not out to get you and as long as your reading and paying attention you will reap what you sow

Prof. Bell is an amazing teacher. He really cares for the students and tries to remember his students' names and by the end of the semester he knows all of them by their name. He makes any literature interesting and gives fresh perspective :)

Great teacher, super energized, lots of stories and movies

Probably my favorite professor so far at Liberty. Even if you don't like English at all, he makes it interesting and relevant. Very energetic and keeps your attention easily through class discussions. However, he is a semi-tough grader when it comes to papers.

He was very funny and a great man of God, but his pop quizzes were terrible. They were questions that no one could comprehend, but 10% of your grade is strictly attendance, which is nice!

He's like that cool youth pastor but a rock-solid teacher. I fully enjoyed his class, his lectures, and his sincere convictions about the Christian life and having fun. I am a good writer and I would say he grades fairly tough on papers, but he'll get you through. You won't regret taking him. Promise.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. He makes the subject funny and interesting, all while encouraging you to learn. I would recommend to anyone.

I absolutely loved this class and the professor. Prof Bell was well prepared for class and showed incredible mastery of the subject. He goes out of his way to present course material in fun ways that help reinforce the readings. Would recommend to all my friends!

I really appreciated how Prof. Bell knew all our names within the first few weeks of the semester. It made me feel like my opinions mattered. Bell is one of the friendliest, most helpful teachers at Liberty. He always integrated a solid biblical worldview into class discussion. He made old stories so relevant and meaningful!

Professor Bell's lectures were brilliant, and he definitely had a great grasp of the material we were studying in the class. He always showed great enthusiasm every day in class. I love the subject of English and he fostered that and helped me to attain a greater understanding of what it is about the subject that I love so much.

Mr. Bell is my favorite teacher at Liberty so far; he showed a great mastery of literary understanding and his love of the class was obvious and encouraging. His desire for us to become active readers and to critically think through the texts has made this the most productive English class I've ever taken.

Bell is awesome. I don't even like English but I look forward to his class. And I don't like literature but he makes this class fun, interesting, and understandable. His class isn't too hard, only two 3-4 page papers during the semester and his two exams are fair. I suggest him to all my friends. He makes English pretty fun.

Dr. Bell is probably one of the best teachers I have had at this school since I transferred. He makes the information fun and interesting while you are also learning the material. He is so hilarious, ever class we joke about something or other. He is a great professor and I recommend him to everyone.

Professor Bell was awesome. He's one of the best professors I've had at Liberty so far.

Dr. Bell is an amazing professor and I loved every class I took with him. He is engaging, thoughtful, and encouraging. He ties the Gospel into the class not because he has to but he wants to, and his instruction is always insightful. He made me a better English student and a better Christian. You'll have to earn your grade, but it will be worth it.

Dr. Bell is one of the best professors I've had at Liberty. He shows mastery of the course content, and truly loves what we're studying. Even stories that I didn't like at first were made more interesting by his guided class discussions. I've taken him for 221, 222, and 306 If you have the chance, TAKE HIM!!!

Has high expectations but he makes you appreciate the pieces and desire to do well. Hilarious. Very personable. Encourages critical thinking and class discussions are always interesting

There were 10 novels on the assigned reading list, including two graphic novels. Fitting this much reading into 16 weeks is definitely stressful and difficult, but Dr. Bell makes sure that class discussion is not only enjoyable, but also interactive and memorable.

Dr. Bell really made me enjoy a required English class, which is hard to do. However, on our first paper I received C+, despite my belief in my paper-writing skills as a history major. He really helped me become a better writer. His lectures were the most enjoyable part of the class and look forward to taking his World Lit. class.

He is great at making the lectures interesting and usually hilarious. If you are naturally a good student and/or if you are good at reading comprehension with older English, then you may like ENGL221. It is a hard class to do well in, so I am terrified that I won't graduate this semester if I don't do well on the Final.

Best teacher I have ever had at Liberty! His class is challenging but he makes it fun and interesting. I have never had such in depth conversations than when I was in his class. Definitely recommend taking if you actually want to learn something. You must be prepared to work but it is worth it!

Dr. Bell is a smart, gifted professor. His enthusiasm for literature is infectious. He is a hard but fair grader. Yes, much of what is covered in class is subjective, but THAT IS LITERATURE. I recommend Dr. Bell to all of my friends, eng. majors and non eng. majors, alike. If you enjoy engaging, discussion based classes, take Dr. Bell!

A great lecturer, very interesting and engaging; the reading can be time-consuming sometimes, but is pretty much necessary to follow along with the lectures in class. But if you keep up on the reading, it is not too hard! Just take really good notes - Dr. Bell can get pretty specific sometimes. But I really love him and his teaching style!

Great guy, tells great stories and teaches the stuff well.

Professor Bell is an incredible professor! One of my favorites at LU so far. Very interesting and super funny. Be prepared for a lot of discussion and reading aloud, but he creates a pressure-free environment so engaging isn't stressful. I would 100% recommend taking him for your lit elective!

Hes a great and inthusiastic Teacher, there are two main papers in the class periods are mostly through pop quizzes and participation As well as exams in those two papers. He is a tough grader though so make sure youre doing the best of your ability

Dr. Bell is hands down the best lecturer I've taken at Liberty! He makes you think about material even after the course is completed! He is hilarious, intelligent, and engaging. However, beware--he expects CLOSE reading and is a difficult grader (he often expects exact wording from lectures in short answers on tests). Study hard and you'll be fine.

Dr. Bell is one of my favorite professors from Liberty! He balanced academics and fun perfectly, being willing to joke around, but also dive into serious material. He was one of those professors who always had a line winding out the door after class. If you really want to learn English (or just want to have a good time), take his courses.

You can tell he loves what he does. He makes you feel welcomed and important and knows you by name from the first day of class. He really pushes you as a writer, but doesnt make you feel stressed. Insightful lectures with some humor. I love this class and definitely recommend!!!

While this class may not be the easiest A offered on campus, ENGL 222 specifically is a class that will change the way you view the world. Each lecture was interesting, engaging, and left students thinking. Dr. Bell is a professor you will never forget and he integrates history into the class in a captivating way. I will take him again if possible.

Dr. Bell always showed up to class prepared to discuss the assigned reading, typically with a twist to "flip the piece on its head". Discussions were incredibly active and lectures were not boring. However, the pop quizzes can be difficult so read carefully. This professor also gave several opportunities for extra credit through out the semester.

I took ENGL 433 with Dr. Bell and I struggled, but I learnt a lot. I wasn't prepared for the workload and wasn't ready for how much reading there was. He also has pop quizzes you need to watch out for! While his class was difficult, he is super friendly and his lectures are amazing! I wish I could just listen to his lectures instead of reading

I loved this class. His discussions are so engaging, and the two papers you do are really interesting and meaningful. He is always available to help you, and he's a really nice guy in general. The exams are tough but accurately reflect the material. Never skip class! (I madeQuizlet sets that you can use to study, just type "ENGL 301 exam 1/2/3" :)

Ive taken Dr. Bell for three classes (ENGL 433, ENGL 301, and ENGL 306). He loves pop quizzes so you MUST do the reading (especially in 433)! Amazing lectures, you should take notes because his lectures will help with his tests but discussion is good too. Very chill and nice guy, replies to emails quickly. Probs my fav professor ever!

Dr. Bell is hilarious, personable, and friendly. As a professor, he's a fun lecturer who makes the lectures engaging. But be warned. Dr. Bell likes to give many small pop quizzes, and he grades his students' papers harshly. Do not think you can write a paper and turn it in immediately- review it again or expect your grade to drop harshly.

Professor Bell does was amazing. He is a hard grader, but he's also fair with grading. He shows excellent knowledge of the subject matter, and his class is the most discussion-based class I've ever taken. The coursework for this class wasn't too easy or too time-consuming, and all of it seemed important for understanding the material.

Dr. Bell expects a lot from his students, but do the reading and participate in class and you can get an A. Laziness will not cut it (I fully admit that's why I got a B). He has great lectures; attend all the lectures and you can easily pass the exams. He also offered A LOT of extra credit. He is a tough grader on papers and expects precision.

Dr. Bell has very, very hard quizzes in this class. The reading is definitely necessary to achieve a good grade. However, his lectures are really thorough; pay attention and passing the exams shouldn't be a problem. He also offers a lot of extra-credit. He has high standards and will not accept late papers, but he is also very kind.

Dr. Bell definitely has high standards, but he also offers a lot of support. There's really no good reason to get a bad grade (mine was from laziness). He has great lectures that really delve deep into the literature; do the reading and listen to the lectures and you should pass just fine.

Professor Bell has been my favorite professor at LU! His class always went by so fast, and honestly I always looked forward to going to his class. While he does grade essays harshly, I feel like he is very reasonable and he offers lots of extra credit. He is a very kind person and he really makes you cared for, to put it simply, he is a DIVA!

Professor Bell was one of the best professors I had at Liberty. He truly cares about his students and made lectures an interactive experience. I learned a lot and actually did not dread this class even though I did not enjoy most of college.
