The course material was great, fun. Good, clear lecturer. Tests and papers were NOT hard if you actually read all of the material. It was a lot of reading, but its children's lit, come on! quick reads, entertaining.

EWWWWWWWWW i do not reccomend this class......yea the final was easy but this class sucked!!!

He mostly tested on lecture material and small details of the text. I felt he was uninvolved because he would not take emails from students (note: 1 TA/500 students). He also changed the grading scheme one week before the final, after the last essay was turned in, which helped some and hurt others.

The books cost over $100 and there was tons and tons of reading and the tests were impossible

The readings are interesting and fun(mostly), not too hard but not an easy A either.

Jon has a remarkable knack for making material accessible and entertaining. His enthusiasm for literature and for teaching shine through in each class. Highly recommended.

His course on Dante is great but his grading system is Hellish. I've never worked so hard for a B- in my life!
