Let me start with the five emails he sent to us before we even stepped foot into class. Hmmmmm I wonder why seven people dropped the class on the first day. Well if it wasn't for that reason, how about buying 11 books for a five-week course. Yea that could be it! The class entailed three tests (two midterms and a final) and he deducts points if you don't show up. The worst part is when he calls on you to read the poems out loud and then corrects and embarrasses you. He will also question every answer you give him, even if it makes sense. He needs to understand that us college kids don't speak 18th and 19th century language. The way to succeed in this class is to survive the first midterm and then do solid on the next two tests. He told us to know 54 poems, the authors, and be able to identify quotes from the poems (one word to a couple of sentences). Here's the deal, it's a lie! The key to the class is to only study THE STUFF HE GOES OVER IN CLASS. If he doesn't go over it, don't worry about it. The last two tests are cake if you just go to class and study a little. Towards the end he turned out to be an alright professor.
