3/26/2007 8:38:05 PM

265 with prioli

3/26/2007 9:17:08 PM

dude, english is english, you read and write papers, if you're not an english major you probably won't really find any english class to be interesting.

anyways...

interesting class? what are those, i have yet to be in one.

3/26/2007 10:13:01 PM

ENG 221 005
ENG 406 001
Mainly because Dr. Halpern is awesome.

ENG 209 001
ENG 261 001
Dr. Hunt is also awesome, if you don't mind Brit Lit

ENG 219 001
Dr. Fosque is easy as hell, and it's an interesting course


[Edited on March 26, 2007 at 10:37 PM. Reason : I'd go with 221, really, if it's still open.]

Eng 265, never read for class, crammed reading/notes for 2 tests 8 hours each, did 2papers in 6 hours each night before, B+.

eng215 - prin. of newspaper writing was pretty cool

3/28/2007 1:00:30 PM

Science Fiction with Kessel. He's a great professor. Something like 2 papers, midterm and final.

3/28/2007 1:30:47 PM

Anything with Hunt will be your fav english class you had at state.

3/28/2007 5:30:50 PM

Hunt or Bateman...pretty much your best bets.

Creative Writing. Most of it is taught by random grad students who never take attendance/don't care. And even though it sounds hard, the assignments are pretty easy and even if you really suck at writing they don't grade you on that, just basic grammar stuff. No tests.

Oh...that may not count for lit though...

I had Bateman for Advanced Fiction Writing. He was okay. Hester is by far my favorite English professor. He teaches 17th Century Lit (basically a class on the poetry of John Donne) and English Lit 1. He is very intelligent, well spoken, humorous, and a great teacher. His tests weren't too bad and his papers weren't terribly difficult.

Sorry. Undergraduate courses are beneath me.

4/5/2007 4:58:29 AM

^ Word play, people! Literary device? English? Hello?!

Damn undergrads.

4/5/2007 12:13:24 PM

take prioli, his classes were interesting

halpern was the man

I took 265, and the readings weren't that bad, but be careful if you take it with Stamper. The lecture itself wasn't bad, but the tests were all quotes that you had to identify (both author and title and none of this was listed on the test) and then you have to explain the significance of the quote in a lot of detail, and this is out of like 20ish selections we had to read.
