Kenneth Eklund
University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire
Department:
English/Literature
Professors: Respond to evaluations by creating an account
I had Eklund over ITV... the only good thing he did was spend a couple of days on metaphors... that was funny. He doesn't explain what he wants for your papers then docks you for not having something in it. We also had to do a group paper and that was awful! His deadlines for papers are never when he says they are... usually earlier.
Positive:
Has enthusiasm in the classroom
Negative:
Professor is boring or bland
Confusing or hard to understand
Expectations are unclear or lofty
Notes/lecture is confusing
Poor sense of humor
Professor does not relate to students
I think he was a really good professor, if you didn't understand what he wanted you to do just go and talk to him and it m akes much more sense. If you go in during his office hours, you are almost guaranteed and A or a B, cause one he is helping you on the paper and two you are giving the extra effort.
Positive:
Good professor.

Worst professors I've ever had!
He's not a very organized professor. There was one point where I had written a paper that he noted was the best paper a student had ever written for him... he then gave me a B- on the paper. He doesn't have his stuff together. The work is fairly easy if you are able to decipher what he wants from you, but otherwise it's basically a guess at what he's asking of you.
