Pretty good teacher. He discusses literature in class, and misses much of the real intent of the author. People say he is easy, but don't slack off and not read the literature. If you read, take notes on the author's Biography, and write your paper in time, then you can get an A. This teacher is not out to fail you, just do the work = A.

Okay, Guys. This man has a monotone voice and he does not explain things thoroughly. He does not tell you to bring your sj book for the written essay nor your notebook to write the essay, which would have been helpful!
