Comment:
Tony is the easiest honors preceptor there is. I didn't have to read the books. He doesn't believe in grading, so everyone gets an A "unless you do something to not deserve it". He is difficult to get a hold of outside class if you need him, but he's really intelligent and thoughtful in class. Almost no papers because he didn't want to grade them.

Comment:
Tony is forever my favorite professor at UMaine. Last year I thought I was taking 170 with his wife, However, she became ill for the semester so (in his words) I got "stuck with him". He's changed the way I look at literature and read. After 170 he told me that I could use a challenge and to take his 470- He's the reason that I'm now an Eng major.

Comment:
i think as long as you write at least one or two freeform responses and come to class, you're pretty much guaranteed an A. he'll talk for most of the preceptorial and initiates very philosophical discussions. take him if you can!

If you have the opportunity to take a class with Brinkley, DO IT! He cares about learning and not grades which results in an easy A and the opportunity to seize the vast wisdom he has to offer.

Easiest honors teacher in the department, I didn't learn a whole lot from the curriculum, but we got into some deep philosophical discussions. I love that he doesn't believe in grades. It really helped balance the pressure of my other classes. =)

Comment:
He is one of few professors that really care about the meaning and knowledge that a student takes from a class rather than the students testing ability. It is difficult at first because he does not rely as much on grades as most of us are used to but if you pay do your work, go to class, and pay attention you can learn a lot from him. : )

What you get from Tony's (HON) class is what you put into it. It can be an easy course in which you learn nothing, or it can be one of the mot rewarding courses you've ever had. Discussions are often lofty, but meaningful if you can manage to follow them. Assignments are sparse but he gives good feedback. I would recommend this professor.

Tony will give your life meaning again. Even among above average professors, it is rare that one finds an individual with such a subtle and powerful intelligence who also cares about his students.

Extremely loose and easy going. Overall, a delightful class. Didn't have to read or buy a single book, watched alot of movies, and had a lot of good conversations that usually had nothing to do with work. The easiest english class ever, for all those slackers in the world you'll have a ball in his class. He says class is madatory but not really.

he was the worst teacher ive ever had. he never gave anything back, in fact end of semester grades were due in by 4 today and he still hasnt even read my final paper! he whispers so he can barely be heard in the classroom, and he is boring. i hated every moment of his class and if i can help it he will never be my teacher again. he was nice though.

He somehow manages to make a 2 hour 45 minute class feel like a 6 hour class.. He teaches lecture style, but doesnt speak loud enough to hear him in the front row. He can spend one hour repeating the same information about 4 lines in a poem in 26 different and unneeded ways.. Great guy, but boring .

Great man. Very lax when it comes to assignments and assessments. All around great person. You will learn a lot. Have you ever heard someone meow when they are disturbed by something? He will and it is the funniest thing.

Definitely an unusual guy who will make you ask, did he really just say that? More than once, but also very thoughtful, interesting, and funny.

Comment:
A great professor. He has a lot of really interesting things to say about the stuff we read (and you really don't even have to do the reading and you still learn a lot). His voice is pretty relaxing though, so consume some caffeine prior to class. Very relaxed about assignments and deadlines.
