Such an awesome professor! Knows his stuff. Loves telling stories. Lots of reading...but it is very easy. The class is interesting most of the time...some times a little boring, but overall everything is great!

The best professor to have. Vietnam Veteran who knows his stuff. Very interesting class. Funny guy as well. His "last class" which is very sad because he really does tell some interesting stories.

Bob is the best English professor to ever in the English Dept. here at UMaine. If you want to learn more about the American War in Vietnam just ask him. Class was well structured and he kept things interesting. Nice guy with an interesting history.

Comment:
Very funny. Lots of great stories about his time in Vietnam. Read the books and take notes in class and you'll do fine. Pretty easy grader. The only problem I had is that ALL of the books we read had to do with Vietnam when its a Nature of Storytelling class. still, take him if you get a chance!

Had him for Vietnam Lit- Very passionate about the subject, and knows the novels inside and out. If you read the novels and come to class, you are bound to get an A. I highly recommend him!

Comment:
I'm giving Professor Whelan a "hot" rating because he knows about this website, and during class he once asked whether he had a "red pepper" for being excessively hot. This is for you, Bob. As for the class, take it. Professor Whelan is hilarious and easy-going, and the class is an easy A if you read the books and study properly.

If you don't want to end up reading A Fever in Salem or Typhoid Mary like all of your friends, take this class. Bob is a lot of fun and had us reading only a book and a half about West Point. Almost writes the essays for you on the board and lets you revise indefinitely.

Interesting. He's nice, funny and he tries real hard to make the class interesting. Read...Read read read what he tells you to. If you don't you will NOT do well. It's an easy class, but you really need to read or you wil fail.

Really nice guy, interesting lecture, the only thing you really need to do is attend class. Lots of movies so that you don't have to go to class when you watch them. This class was a great way to take care of three gen eds!

The dude is funny, but hes old and talks about sex a lot which is slightly creepy. The class is incredibly easy, just show up and pay attention and you can get an A.
