Comment:
If you're gonna take with Butler, make sure to pay attention in discussions. His classes are not homework heavy, but if you don't pay attention in class you WILL be lost. If you take part in discussions that is a plus. Deadlines are treated more like a suggestion, but do NOT, I repeat do NOT wait till the end of the semester to give work in.

Talk about a phenomenal professor! Doug was an absolute delight to have a class with. He was so down to earth and relatable it was great. He truly cares about the students and doesn't give a rat's ass about grades. Had the perfect balance for the class, reading, movies, blogs, lots of debates, and a few essays sprinkled in. A solid choice!

If you just want an English class where you get an easy A, Butler is the guy to take. His exams are exactly what you expect and he's pretty lenient on grading papers. Unfortunately, he is very disorganized and all over the place, but his lectures are overall interesting and Butler has a pretty likeable personality.

Comment:
Took 8 weeks to give out a syllabus for a 200 level course... Listed required books and didn't even use some of those books and used other books instead. Once he gave out the syllabus he didn't even go by it. Do not expect clear guidelines for papers, tests, or homework. Doesn't like cell phone use in class.

A really easy A. You don't have to meet any deadlines. Just get in all your work by the end of the semester and you're golden. At the same time, Dr. Butler is a real sweetheart. His class discussions can be a bit long-winded, but fun to get your two-cents in.

Comment:
He's not very good at being a professor, except the part where he passes you. Pretty disorganized, does not reply promptly to emails, and generally makes up coursework as he goes along. His classes are easy, sure, but if you're having a bad semester because of home life or outside difficulties? Good luck getting any clarity from him.

my favorite professor so far and its not my major. He's very layer back but still engaged in teaching. very understanding when it comes to assignments. i improved so much as a writer because of him. lectures are based on relevant stuff that would interest most college students. Go ahead take his class you'll enjoy it, learn and its a GPA booster!

He's a really easy going guy, but his class is not structured or organized. Didn't give the class the syllabus until half way through semester. Lost and/or forgot to give back papers. His grading is fair and he has a lot of knowledge about what he teaches. Simple class, 4 paper 4 tests. Do the work and you'll do fine.

Comment:
He never gave us a syllabus and openly admitted to making up the course as he went along, so shy away if organization and clarity are your things. Otherwise though it was a pretty interesting class. Gave us interesting stuff to read, and though some of his interpretations were ridiculous, he was always open to other views. Occasionally hilarious.

Awesome Teacher. You will learn a lot in his class in a chill relaxed environment. He's laid back and realistic. Gets you interested in learning because he's easy to relate to. Always eager to help.

Doug is a little random sometimes.... Tries to keep class interesting. Funny. Not a tough grader. I'd take a class with him again.

Butler is very flexible with due-dates and makes class fun to be in. I would definitely recommend his classes to anyone... if you don't mind a little randomness (it can be a little confusing, but his assignments are easy if you go to class).

I absolutely love taking classes with Butler. I have taken class with him before and I have never gotten below a B+ from him. He does get a little boring but he is so random sometimes I almost peed myself laughing at him. He doesnt expect alot from his
