The lectures she gives on each reading really makes you think, and she brings up new ideas that I would have never thought of before. Plus, the readings that she picks are fun to read, and she is pretty funny during lecture. I also improved my writing by far in her class.
Amazing lecturer, and really funny. Never thought I could like medieval literature so much, but she made it relatable and understandable
Heather's the best. Took ENGL101 and the honors section, she really wants her students to exceed and wants them to take the time to read and understand Medieval English. I went into this class dreading the time period, and went out loving the language and really hoping to take another class. She's also beautiful, inside and out. TAKE BLURTON
Professor Blurton was fantastic and specific of what she expected from her students. There are 10 novelsplayspoems in total to cover in class so reading was heavy. Material was very exciting. Avoid TA Chow. He is a tough grader. Says so himself. Not worth putting in the same effort and still coming up short because of a TA. Overall basic class.
Professor Blurton is definitely passionate about her topic (Old English) and she is here for her students! The readings and translations were appropriate for beginners in Old English, though she sometimes had trouble keeping the class active and interested. Perhaps the necessary grammar rules to learn are to be blamed for this.
Prof Reynolds is a great lecturer! I learned a lot about Middle Eastern culture/history, even though its a lit class. Super easy to understand, it does get boring sometimes though. The books are pretty interesting and there are lots of opportunities for extra credit
Lots of extra credit which will get you an A a couple of papers but very easy.
Dr. Reynolds was a great professor! He really wanted us to learn and he was very good at teaching! His way of teaching allowed us to have a better appreciation of Middle Eastern culture instead of just learning for grades. You should definitely take a class with him!
A great lecturer, incredibly knowledgeable.The lectures require you to actually take in what she is saying rather than just copy bullet points from a slide. If you do the work you will get a lot out of the class.She is very nice but can seem a bit removed from the students (kind of unapproachable).In actuality she is very helpful in office hours.
She is incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable. Thought I would hate this class but she made it fun, interesting and fair. Learned a lot. Her lectures are usually very entertaining. In office hours, she's very helpful and easy to talk to however she's often busy with one person for the whole time. Would like to take her again for sure!
She is obviously a very clever woman but is cringeworthy and patronising during lectures. She dumbs everything down and reduces you to the mental age of an 11 year old.. quite interesting readings though and she is a fun lecturer.
She puts on a good class with interesting readings. And class discussions can be cool. I wouldn't invest too much in Her, though. Her method for seeing students during office hours: "Let me pick someone I like." I wouldn't take her again even though her class is simple. I prefer a professor who will actually support students.
Tall and gangly prof with a passion for middle eastern culture. Tests were based on slides, and he reviews them before the exams. Super easy, but classes were dull. Occasional section quizzes but they're no brainers if you read parts of the books.
simply a wonderful man to listen speak, but the class does get pretty boring. lots of reading, but TONS of extra credit and easy tests. if youre interested in the middle east at all, take this class for sure!
A truly intelligent professor who effectively lectures on a subject he is very familiar with. While lectures could get boring occassionally, the readings are interesting and Reynolds is a truly amazing professor with A LOT of experience in the Middle East.
Very good professor who loves the subject he is teaching. There are also several extra credit opportunities. Definitely recommend this class to people if he is teaching!
Really enjoyed taking his course and he's very passionate about the subject. Highly recommended.
