Hell likely easily go down as my favourite professor. He is hilarious, clearly cares about his students and gives clear, articulated feedback to help you with further essays. There were no assignments in his class, only essays (750-1000 words). He really inspires you to look deeper into understanding literature. The dude is legendary.

Garry is a great professor, who marks fairly. There were 4 essays and a final. Besides the essays, there really isn't any homework. The take-home essays had a word count of around 1000. I enjoyed his class, and I usually dislike english classes.

Jumps around the texts a lot so it is difficult to follow. Expected to read a large amount of content in such a short period of time. Classes were very rushed.

Garry is not good. His expectations are not realistic, and very vague. Even though he is entertaining DO NOT take this class if you do not enjoy talking about sex or religion (mainly female parts). That is all his lectures and texts are about. (If you are catholic you will enjoy the religious aspects of this class.)

He's one of those rare professors that makes you wanna come to his class on purpose, the dude can lead an army with speeches, I aspire to be like him one day. Just put in the work and you will pass. Just appreciate him.

Easily one of the best profs I have ever had. His classes are engaging and he is always understanding about missing class and does not hold it against you as a student. He really cares about his students and their success. I only took one class with him and even when I wasn't his student he was willing to help me with my personal statement for law.

Garry is an amazing prof. I truly enjoyed his class and would definitely take a class from him again. He truly cares about his students and work to makes sure they understand and is very helpful out of class. He often drops heavy hints as to what he is looking for on tests. Garry is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be in his class.

Garry is the best prof ever! I am not much of an English person, but he made me look forward to attending his class due to his hilarious and caring personality. There are some grammar pop quizzes here and there but for essays, he will give you a lot of info on the topic so the essays are not that hard to write. I would recommend Garry to everyone!

He was a lot of fun to listen too but can get off topic quite easily. His classes were fun to attend and mandatory! He pretty much told you exactly what he expected for each essay. He really cared which was awesome to see. You will need the textbook!

Very funny guy. He makes lectures interesting and is genuinely passionate about the subject. He can get pretty off topic and go on tangents and it takes him awhile to finish things, but he makes the class fun and gets you invested in the readings. Can be a bit crude but personally I found that it made the class a bit more fun. Would take him again

Garry is an amazing prof. I struggled with my first class so retook English 100. Garry made for a class that you could look forward too. I don't like English nor is it my strong suit but he really made sure I knew what I was doing. Hw would get excited when you would ask him for help. I would take any class again with him in a heartbeat! best prof

Garry is such a great professor! You can tell he really cares about his students and their grades. He does go off topic quite easily however everything you do learn is very useful in everyday life. I don't recommend missing class, he goes into significant detail about each text you read, its very helpful. He made English 100 a breeze!

Garry was an absolute gem. He really knows what he is talking about, however this can often lead to straying a bit off topic, and in our case this put our class way behind schedule and a lot had to be cut out. That being said Garry will entertain in every class and you will come away having learned a lot, highly recommend

He was an amazing guy but was unorganized in timing the required readings for our class. We weren't able to get through all of them, and still put questions on the exam afterward. If you are a good listener, you will pass his class no problem. If you are not, then reconsider taking a lecture from him until you've practiced your note-taking skills.

Took his 110 class on Menippean satire. Wild lectures, really hammers out what he thinks are important points, so you can't just read the book, you have to listen to what he says. However, if you do that, you're golden.

Garry is awesome. He can make you feel a little uncomfortable by what he has to say, but he sure knows how to get his message across. I laugh every class and he remembers his students. He has no trouble having a conversation about life if you meet him in the halls. 10 out of 10, would take a class from him again.

This man is brilliant. What I learned in his class has helped shape my entire academic career and he was a significant feminist role model for me. Five years later, at the end of my Masters program, I am still pulling out and integrating pieces from his lectures. Look elsewhere for an easy "A", but real academics will get their money's worth here.

As much as I think he's a nice guy, I found he often repeated the same stories and material in class. He is a pretty relaxed professors in terms of grading and deadlines, but the actual content of the class was boring.

If you want to know the meaning of life take his ENGL399 Literary Theory class or any of his classes. It doesn't matter which faculty you are in. Everyone can learn from Garry. I highly recommend his Shakespeare and his Literary Theory classes they'll change the way you see things. If you visit him during his office hours or after class he'll help.

He is a quirky, brilliant man who is always willing to help and will have you laughing your pants off during lectures. He is very good at explaining difficult concepts, like various literary theories. He will make you earn your grade and attendance is a must to pass.
