boring lectures, doesn't give you any idea of what will be on the midterm or final. Tells you to study the differences between texts, but brings up random scenes and asks you to say what gospel it is from and what the significance is. Worst class, don't take it. Horrible. That's all I have to say.
Really nice guy and eager to help if you ask him for it, but lecture slides are EXTREMELY dull. Tests are also very difficult and call for unnecessarily specific details. If you are just taking the class for the GEs, take a different one.
Prof O'Connell and his Chaucer class are the bomb. He's genuinely interested in the material and connected it to modern day examples to offset the difficulty of reading middle english (ex. Hugh Hefner and Fabio). He's really willing to help you with anything if you go in to office hours or hang around after class. CCS kids: take Chaucer with him.
Good man. His pedagogic skills are excellent.
He is very nice and knows a lot about the subject matter but his are some of the most boring lectures I have ever experienced. I do appreciate however that he really concentrated on teaching the Bible as literature, despite some students' attempts to turn class into a Bible study. He remained fair and unbiased despite his personal religious beliefs
His lectures can be dry (powerpoint based), but a lot of the material is actually quite interesting and gives a lot of insight to the plays. Quizzes were pretty easy, final wasn't too bad -- only if you read the plays, of course. He's also friendly and enthusiastic.
