Comment:
Worst experience I've had. I was accused of plagiarism. Result, no grade could be assigned. No amount of energy will result in a decent grade. Format: Read a book, do 2-3 papers a week, get no feedback, exam on book, and do it all again. The video he does post are lackluster and a waste of time. Save yourself money/time and go to another teacher!!!

This was by far the worst experience I have ever had with a professor. he does not meet in person or the scheduled zoom calls. He falsely accused me of plagiarism had to meet w director of integrity and he told me this has happened to multiple people He does not care about you or your grades at all. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. nothing good comes from it

Comment:
He really didn't care how little he graded or how much he assigned. He also never met inperson or on zoom but instead made 40min youtube videos where he talked about things too deeply or completely off-topic. He also just didn't consider that people have multiple classes and lives so he would expect you to clear half a book in a day. Terrible class

Dr. Levine is a character to say the least. his work mainly is based off of papers that you write. he grades the papers you write heavily and hard. You really need to speak up in class, be apart of the discussion he grades on that, most people don't participate and their grades show it. he does give more credit to those that participate in class.

AVOID. Class is awful: boring, pointless lectures on the personal philosophy of the professor, weird specific questions that cannot be answered, no class discussion or debate, just monologue. I dropped due to the essays, essays graded with horrible comments, barely explaining the C you WILL get, and don't expect answers when you go to his office.

Comment:
prof. levine is very boring. he goes on &on and on, like seriously could talk to himself with no one there for a whole hour & a half. assignments in the class are papers which he grades harshly on & there is text for each section of the course. a huge warning: attendance is mandatory. you are only allowed like 4 absences after which you wont pass

Comment:
This professor is definitely the worst that I have ever had. He expects all students to have the same amount of skill that he has, and does not seem to understand that this class is not a majors only class. He also is very arrogant and always has some little comment to make back to anything that a student says.

He is a horrible teacher. I have never written a review on this website, but I figured I HAD to write one because I do not want you guys to take his class. I received all A's in high school english classes, but received a C in his class. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR GPA.

The worst literature class I have ever taken. The course work itself was not bad, keep up with your reading and do the writing assignments. Levine himself, is the issue. VERY monotone and condescending. He expects your papers/analysis to be on his level only. No room for open interpretation.

If you miss 2 classes you fail, he does not clarify what he wants on papers and quizzes. He expects you to come into the classes with his level of knowledge, he will count you absent if you are even one minute late, and he never tells you how much extra credit is worth. He gave my class Cs all semester no matter how hard we worked. Don't recommend

This is the worst professor at MTSU. His instructions are not specific and he does not tell you what you made on assignments. Do not take him.

Probably the worse professor I have had in my college life. He grades extremely hard and when you ask him about your work it's always a rude way of correcting you. He is no help when it comes to trying to better your grade and a lot of his work is pointless to the class. If you want to pass Lit, DO NOT take this professor. Also, don't skip class!

Wow, what a horrible teacher. He's very arrogant, and a terrible critique. His instructions are often ambiguous, ESPECIALLY when it comes to papers and tests, and your answers are NEVER good enough. If you don't want to waste your time, DON'T take his class!

Do not! Do not! DO NOT take his class. He grades extremely tough. He doesn't give any positive feedback, EVER. Be prepared to have to re-do EVERY paper you turn in. His lectures are very boring and most of the time he will just ramble and you won't know what he's talking about. You will do in-class assignments all the time that he does not grade.

Probably the worst professor I have ever had. I took his jazz and blues class because I thought that it looked interesting. About mid way through the semester I realized that he is the toughest grader and does not give good grades on anything. He never takes the students ideas or thoughts into opinion. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

This has been the worst class I have ever taken while working towards either of my degrees. Dr Levine lectures with his eyes closed and conveys unusable information that will not help one to be successful in his class. Expectations and grading is vague. Although papers are returned, they are are not marked with a grade. Keeps one totally guessing.

Comment:
His monotone voice will put you to sleep. He rambles on the entire class and complains because no one will participate. Every assignment is worth more than 5% so if you don't do one assignment, you will fail the course, no questions asked. He doesn't give A's on papers, even if you work extra hard. I do not recommend taking him.

If you are half way decent at writing argumentative papers you will pass this class. Some of the papers I peer reviewed in class looked like an 8th grade student wrote it. However, you will not make an A on any paper you turn in. I made a B, worked decently hard for it. Do not take his course if you don't already know that basics of writing a paper
