The best English professor at UCSB. He is one of those rare teachers: VERY EASY AND YOU LEARN A LOT! I have had English classes 10 times harder and have learned less than one tenth of what I learned in his class! His lectures are very interesting. I hated the English major at UCSB, but I would look forward to every one of his classes! CLONE HIM!!!
Newfield is awesome! Lectures are really interesting as is the reading in both classes. He loves to have in-class discussions even in huge lectures and actually listens to what people have to say. Fun creative assignment for final papers. Take his classes!
Newfield is awesome! I don't know what everyone is talking about when they say he gives boring lectures, they are really interesting. He shows a lot of movies and tells funny stories about his family sometimes. Not to mention its the EASIEST class in the world! One of the best professors I have had
I personally thought his class was very boring, couldn't stay awake in lecture. Need to go to lecture to understand his whacky thinking. His choice of books are alright.
He's not just waiting for you to take a breath so he can interrupt with own ideas, he's listening to you. Actually listening. Wonderful instructor, generous with his knowledge and support; I will always be grateful for his guidance and encouragement. He got me through my senior thesis!
Great prof, fun lectures and good choice of books. Story option instead of research paper was really nice. No midterm or final, just a few easy quizzes. Take this class
Detective Fiction- TAKE IT! It is by far the easiest English class at UCSB but it also has the BEST reading list! Everything about it is GREAT!! And you get to write your own story at the end of the class if you dont want to write a paper!
detective fiction is a pretty cool class, definitely worth taking. he's a fun, interesting dude, and the chicks all seem to dig him. i liked his lectures a lot, but some people complained that he expressed his right-wing opinions too much.
He is an incredibly sexy prof with awesome theories and intellectual analyses of the detective fiction novels. His lectures are funny and really interesting so I didn't mind going.
interesting books to read, but lectures feel like they last forever. Newfield like you to express you opinion and likes to do huge class debates. Gives you the essay quesions to study before the final.
detective fiction- lectures interesting
take his detective fiction class. very interesting and great material.
He's great and you can have a lot of fun with the detective fiction final project.

He's hot! Like the American Hugh Grant. He likes to compare the books to Oz a bit much, and only one of the books was any good. I don't really understand why he picks some of the books he does, but he is nice and has some theories and that is fun.
