The guy is a genius. Loved every class I took from him and wish I could take more. Lots of reading, but they are English classes so it should be expected anyway.

Nick is a great teacher! I took Poetry with him and he explained them in a way that helped us discover the meaning instead of him telling us the meaning. He is a hard marker, but I felt like my writing improved over the semester.

I've taken both SCI-FI and Horror Fiction with him, and he was passionate about both. Unfortunately I did not really have an interest. But he is a good professor, just knows what he wants.

One of the best prof's to take Sci-fi from, has a huge passion for the subject and made it even more interesting. If you get the chance take a course from him, you won't regret it!

His midterms and Finals are easy - medium. If you attend class you will have no problem. He is the best Eng prof in the uni, doesn't hurt that he is dept. head too

He took an interesting subject and made it boring and dry. Studied mostly old examples of horror and less emphasis on contemporary horror. Disappointed in this class and how its potential was wasted. Unfortunately, I would not suggest taking classes from him.

Comment:
He has a clear passion for this subject but the projection of information is SO boring and dry. He is a tough marker, highest mark on midterm was 78. All of his "red marks" on essays were basically just synymoms of words that he didn't like. He either likes your writing style or doesn't. Stories are easy but no notes are posted.

Definately a great professor. My writing style has improved in this class, and I will be keeping an eye out for other classes taught by Rud**** in my academic future! He is exceptionally helpful and wonderful to talk to.

Comment:
Always very unique classes on unique topics. Encourages class participation. Very approachable and helpful when asked for help. Hard but fair marker; he looks for conciseness and precision in papers (you will learn how to do this by the end of the class if you don't know at the beginning). Classes are always very informative.

He sounds scary with his husky British accent. But he is nice. make sure to establish a good reputation at the beginning of class. He is helful and approachable don't get scared with the way he stares at you sometimes. Marking wise, he is fair.

Comment:
okay this man is the roughest marker ever. he's good at interpreting it and all that but when it comes to us writing essays about it, he reads WAY beyond what you've written. you'd think fairy tales would be easy but with them they are far from it. i wouldn't take another class from him.

I did not like this prof. He is so dry and he rambles on unendingly. He should stick to MWF classes because it is impossible to tolerate 3 hours of this torture. Also he is a tough and biased marker. I would not take another class with him.

Comment:
This professor was horrible! He is definitely the worst prof I have ever had, and I will never take another class from him again. He is dry, boring, and assigns an unbelievable amount of reading that no one can follow. He is also so unorganized that he can't possibly go over it all properly.
