Comment:
My favorite professor. He treats students like adults. Probably a lot of the people ranting on here wanted an easy A. If you are a thinker and approach his class with creativity, you're in for a good grade. Lectures were great, always giving historical context for a text. The favoritism comments are absurd. I never had a single conversation w/ him.

Jeff Evans is a completely incompetent man who only works to fuel his own ego. He doesn't truly care about his students and goes on power trips to make him feel better about his miserable life.

Comment:
Jeff is nothing like what previous raters said. He's both nice and approachable, he may have favorites but I doubt I was one of them (never said a word to him and vice versa) and I pulled off an A in the course, he is clear on what he wants on exams and allows plenty of creative freedom as long as one shows he or she understands the material.

Comment:
This class is very frustrating. He does not grade fairly whatsoever, and he definitely chooses favorites. It's very frustrating to feel like you've written a good paper and have him tear it apart completely. He only focuses on what you did WRONG with the assignment and although papers are based somewhat on opinion, we apparently can't have one.

Comment:
Jeff Evans is brilliant. The grading scale for ENG 101 is standard for all sections, so a low grade in ENG 101 reflects on the student, not on Evans. I took Realism/Naturalism because I needed to (be made to) read authors that I wasn't too thrilled about, but I'm glad I took this class. Evans ties the discussion back to teaching, which is usefu

Comment:
Allows absolutely no room for your OWN OPINIONS on papers. Its his way or the highway, and you have to learn that immediately. Absolutely the most stingy grader I have ever had. Id be shocked if anyone got higher than a B in the class. He also chews gum very loudly during class which is beyond irritating, and wears the most ugly sweaters ever.

Comment:
I think he's a very rude, unapproachable, mean man. I wouldn't go to talk to him because he would probably end up dismissing anything I said as wrong. He picks favorites, and gives no attention to the students he doesn't like. It's true...if he doesn't like you, you're screwed. Ick, I can't wait until this class is over.

I don't know why people like him so much. I fall asleep in his class, and so far he has allowed 0 creative freedom on papers, which is what being an English major is all about. He gives you a topic, and you have to follow it. If you don't think the way he thinks, you're screwed. I recommend the other Evans --> Steve. He is awesome.

Jeff is an incredible teacher. He's knowledgeable, engaging, kind, and demanding. He expects a lot, but then he gives a lot. Slackers won't like him, but if you want to learn and you don't mind putting in a little effort he'll give you as much as you can absorb.

I thought he graded very hard.. expected way too much out of a freshman English class.. he tried to be helpful.. and "fun" by showing videos and such.. and bringing in his really cute dog.. but graded very difficult for 100 level class.

Comment:
A very kind and intelligent professor but he does have a habit of picking favorites in class, and his grading scale is very unfair. He is a very hard professor to take classes with and isn't very clear on what he wants. If he doesn't like you, you will not pass his class. Encourages class disussion which is def. a mark in Professor Evan's favor.

Jeff Evans is a very skilled professor in English and film. He is tough, but he is fair. Evans, Hakola, Norris, Cowan, and Irvine are the backbone of the department.

Boy this class was a waste of time. I think this guy smoked too much pot back in the 60's, though he's not as bad as Ken Norris. And Ken Norris is actually smart.

This is perhaps the oddest class I've taken. He expects too much and doesn't know his film genres. He passes off buddy comedies for screwball comedies and science fiction films as noir. Oh yeah and his grading scale isn't that great either.
