This guy is super passionate about what he's doing. Expect a raised voice and grand hand gestures in lecture. He's not afraid to put you on the spot. Love em or hate em kinda dude.

Really tough marker, and not always the clearest with what is demanded of the assignments. Overall good Prof. Who is knowledgeable in the field and has a good sense of humor.

Phenomenal prof! Very hard marker, but if you ask for feedback before the assignment is due he will do his best to help you! Very funny and maybe a little bit crazy, but aren't all the best like that?

Amazing prof, one of the best I've ever had. Only one to ever call me out on my BS paper-writing habits and actually challenge me. Don't expect a free ride, his tests and papers are tough, but you learn a lot and his lectures are fabulously entertaining and instructive!

Fantastic! Always gives good feedback, but MEET WITH HIM about your paper if you want to get a good grade! His lectures are great! He'll always keep your attention! (We once saw him dance back and forth across the classroom - twice!) Go to class, take notes, and use them in the testassignments and you'll do fine :)

Very easy to get along with once you understand his humor. He loves Monty Python! Very helpful for writing papers, but grades very hard. If you get an A in his course, consider yourself an English god

Comment:
Dr. Finnegan is a little eccentric, and uses volume to his advantage during lectures. It is important to attend class and take notes! He may seem sarcastic but he is really quite approachable and is definitely helpful outside of class. I advise anyone taking a class with him to ask for help on papers because he doesn't give good marks away.

A fantastic professor, but this is from someone who doesn't find professor's fantastic because they are easy. He is hardcore, but he really motivated me at least to actually put in the time.

Had him for studies in Shakespeare. Brilliant man, great class, but very hard. He will challenge you, and he's a great prof for it.

Extremely hard class. I got a 95% on the prov. eng exam and then a D on my first paper. I accepted it and asked him for help with my next one and he gladly helped me figure out what I was doing wrong, and helped me learn how to do better. Improving, but still a tough class. His lectures are very entertaining.

One of my favourite profs ever. Extremely knowledgeable and over-the-top, makes lectures feel like a performance. Does come off arrogant but admired the way he would always make himself available to help anyone who asked. A meeting over my essay was the inspiration for me to take Honours English. Amazing prof! Really makes you work though.

Dr. Finnegan is, hands down, the greatest teacher I have ever known - if you are ready to work hard and accept worse grades than you usually get! He is a hard marker but it motivates you to perform better, and even if your grade seems poor I think you'll actually learn more from him the anyone else. I can't get the Wife of Bath out of my head!

Finnegab is a great teacher. He can be hard to understand and expects you to do your work, but is completely approachable- will make appointments any time. He's great in both classes I have with him and is a completely fair marker. He expects a lot, but gives you a lot of help if you ask for it.

Exceptionally entertaining lecturer and very flexible with deadlines. He will give you all the help you need but is an EXTREMELY tough marker! Very picky about grammatical errors.Overall loved him as a prof. though!However,if you're not prepared work your ass off, don't bother. His tests are tough but fair. they cover all quotes mentioned in class!

This guy is an extremely demanding marker and requires serious study for his midterm and final examinations. He is consistantly hard for everyone in his class. His class IS worth taking because the man is a walking tome of medival literature knowlege. The department almost without fail scales up the grades he gives you.

As already mentioned this class will not be an easy ride. That said, of all the prof's I've had, this one is by far my favourite. His love for literature helps you to become inspired and to gain a deeper understanding of the material. This may have be my lowest grade for each of the 3 years I was in his courses, but each year was well worth it. Tha

Comment:
He is pompous, but also available for help and cares about his students. This odd combination means he has high expectations. He scared me and I wasn't really interested in the course material, resulting in the mediocre mark which corresponded to my effort. I think if you liked the subject matter & clicked with him as a teacher you could do well.
