Quite intimidating, but a good professor nonetheless. Tough grader, but don't be afraid to ask for help or clarification. No tests unless he feels like you aren't reading. Humor can be tough to digest, but he's not REALLY mean. A lot of work, but worth it. Would take again!

I've taken Moreland for a couple of classes and enjoyed all of them. The readings he assigns are amazing. He is a tough grader, but if you show up on time, participate, and put effort into your papers you'll do fine. He's funny and relaxed, but don't mistake that for an easy A. It's clear he loves literature, I deff recommend him for Eng. majors.

Wayne Moreland is a great professor. He cares about his students and he is a funny guy. I had a good time writing narratives and poems in his class. The group workshops were fun as well. You must take creative writing with him -- you won't regret it! :D

Insightful and hilarious guy. There's plenty of reading but what else do you expect from an english class? No tests unless he feels like you don't read so either participate or prepare to fail the quiz. His papers aren't easy, but he isn't unreasonable. If you go to his office he will help. Honest and down to earth. Looks like Morgan Freeman too.

He's definitely very passionate, sometimes so passionate that he'll yell at someone in class if they're not listening to him, and he gives a lot of homework. As in, five + poems over the span of a week & poetry responses. Additionally, 40% of your grade is based on participation. I don't recommend him for everyone, just those w/ a light sched.

If you do not like to participate, do not take him. He's reasonable and honestly, hilarious. His classes do not feel like classes, rather jokes and discussing the books. His readings are fun- but his papers are tough. He's a reasonable grader. Participate, show that you care about the class, and you'll have a chill class. He's a chill guy.

Be ready to read and to participate. Other than participation there are only 3 papers to make up your grade. That being said, if that's okay with you his class is great. He loves to joke around, but you can tell he also really cares about the material and you'll learn a lot. He can be a little intimidating, but he's really a good guy. Take him!

Moreland is a great professor. I took him twice, purposefully, and enjoyed the class and content both times. He'll also help you meet people in the department, he literally took me around the English dept. and introduced me to people. He'll also help you with your writing outside of his class. Great guy and definitely worth taking at least once.

In a world where most professors stray away from the meat of what studying literature is, Professor Moreland presents the opportunity to really just confront the materials in and of themselves with no extraneous agendas to be accounted for. He is a relaxed guy, hilarious and certainly creates the proper environment for enjoying works of art.

Very old school. 2 papers for the whole semester, minimum 6 pages for each. He did take attendance for every class so I'm not sure if that really counted towards our overall grade. Multiple books you will need to read and know for the class and the papers. Thought I did well overall but I ended with a C+ which kinda killed my GPA. :\

He makes class fun. You have to actually read the books and have something in mind for the class. He evaluates if you actually read the books and your critical thinking. The questions asked in class are difficult but that is because the subject matter is complex. He is retiring at the end of this semester. He was a great professor.
