This man has a stick shoved in a very uncomfortable spot. He has an obsession with perfection and a writing style that is unattainable. He tells you to write like the reader has read your materials, but the way he grades...you might as well be writing so your dog will understand your materials. No matter how hard or how not hard I tried, there is just no pleasing him. As a human being, he is acceptable, as a teacher he is miserable. And forgetful--don't bother trying to make an appointment with him outside of class.
He is a FANTASTIC professor! I would take him for every English class if I could. He is fun, interesting, and VERY easy to talk to. He does almost anything to help a deserving student succeed. There are a few opinions posted that I see as absurd. This professor receives an F?! You have got to be kidding me! It's true that he is challenging, but where would we be if everything was easy. I believe that those who posted negative opinions simply didn't work hard. We're here for an education...not to get drunk! Don't blame a professor for your laziness.
