Very intriguing man. Tbh, I didn't learn a single thing through his class, but the four papers we wrote took me no more than an hour apiece. I enjoyed his lectures - very different. "Love?" - Love! If you're passionate about learning English I wouldn't recommend, but it makes for a good blowoff. I respect PB a lot!

Hilarious professor! I would absolutely recommend to anyone! There are barely any papers to write and they are all about relatively easy topics!

Comment:

Middleton is an interesting guy, to say the least. His lectures sometimes feel irrelevant, and his criteria for papers and assignments is very minimal. He's hilarious, and his lectures will keep you awake. Lots of reading but not overloaded. Very knowledgeable guy, sometimes gives out cash in class-true story. Would take him again.

Comment:

Really great profclass. I took African Lit and it was more of a study of Africa and its history and culture through literature, more so than a book analysis class. Casual class discussions with an interesting teaching style. Definitely take if you're interested in culture studies but don't really like reading and analyzing books.

This guy is funny, however, he was really unclear with what he wanted with his papers. I used to get A's and B's on papers in other classes, but I got C's and even failed one because he didn't clarify what he wanted. The last 3 papers I didn't get back until the day of the exam so there wasn't a way to rewrite the worst paper.

This class was an absolute breeze. No textbooks, but instead required to rentbuy a $5 book from the bookstore. If you show up to some lectures, its fine. You will have 3-4 short papers due in the class; the longest paper was was 3.5 pages. An average paper was 350 words. He is funny, interesting, & overall brilliant although he doesn't flaunt it.

Comment:

This was by far the most interesting class. Middleton has a different teaching style, but keeps you paying attention by having regular discussions. He'll know your name by the end of the second week. He's a great professor and I'm taking a class with him again for another required English class I have to take.

LOVED his class! His lectures don't always make sense but they are interesting. Tests are take home and you just write a paper on one of the books you read. Easiest class I've had so far.

Comment:

He is a good professor, all though his lit286 class is beyond pointless. We barely ever do anything in class. If you are looking for an easy A, take his class. He is super funny and always answers your questions if you need help. He does go off on tangents a lot, but i'm not complaining. It makes for an easier class and more fun.

I had this instructor last summer. I found his class to be very interestin and thought that it was fun. He does have a different teaching style than most. I find it pleasant for someone to teach outside of the box. I would take another class given the chance.

Comment:

Maybe my favorite teacher ever. He actively engages every student, teaches in a very stream-of-consciousness manner. P.B. is very knowledgeable about a lot of things, including literature. He is enthusiastic about teaching, learning, and life in general. If you have any interest in literature or learning, take Middleton.

He doesn't make any sense. He'll call on you for the most random questions and not tell you what he's looking for. I don't advice anyone to take him.

One of the best teachers I have ever had! I learned so much about myself while I learned literary from famous writers. If you cannot follow directions and open your mind this is not an instructor for you!

What people fail to realize is that Dr. Middleton does not stick to mundane, textbook subjects, but he is sooooo full of information that you leave his class learning more than you expected. He is a WONDERFUL professor. I feel smarter after taking his classes

If you want to know where the class is going dont take this class. He gets in your face for answers to his questions that dont even make sense or are relevant.

Middleton is funny, but not clear in his expectations. The class is very random. You don't really do anything the whole semester. But if you are a creative writer you will be okay.

Comment:

PB middleton is a character. While his style can be incomprehensible at times, it does encourage critical thinking. However, if you are a student that likes to have CLEAR guidelines and instructions, as well as standards, this is NOT the professor for you.
