Comment:
This class has a lot of daily reading that you're quizzed on each class, but as long as you actually read, the quizzes are really basic. The texts are short and easy, the papers are a breeze, and Bruckner is very nice, funny, and will love you if you participate.

He's so good. I love this Swedish man. HIs handwriting is incomprehensible but it's fine because of how great he is at leading discussions and giving feedback (if you ask for it). Absolutely the best option for American Lit. Take him!

It was really difficult to take this class because I care about 0% about American literature and of course the English major I was stuck with as a senior required me to take it. He was at least engaging and I still managed a good grade even though I barely read the book (I don't recommend that though) and he's very understanding if you need help.

Brueckner is the man. The dude is pretty clever, is really good and loves what he does in the english department. The books you read in this class are usually pretty goodpretty famous. Not to mention, awesome German accent. Would take this class again with him, had a quality time. However, he takes attendance, which cost me an A. haha

I would take anything taught by this guy. He's one of those professors who gets you interested in whatever you're reading, and somehow is able to keep class from ever getting boring. It's a lot of reading, but it's manageable, and he really wants you to do well. If you read and go to class you'll pass the exams.

Professor Bruekner is one of the best professors I've met. He really makes the subject interesting, and he makes coming to class quite worth it. He's also very understanding and accomodating, but this should not be exploited or taken advantage of. you still need to make an effort!

Awesome professor-makes seemingly boring texts interesting, and he definitely promotes thought more than writing. You choose the grade you want, and then just meet the requirements for it (an A, for example, might entail 8 two-page think pieces, 2 revisions, and a two page option paper), and he's really flexible and helpful. Nice guy, fun class.

Comment:
This was the most thought provoking class I have ever taken. He did a really good job expanding my thinking. He made some pretty dense reading really interesting. I was never one to read for my classes, but I always read for this class. I participated in the discussions, which I rarely did in my other classes. I don't know what it was about him!

Comment:
Course ended up being pretty dull. He forgets that his students are taking other classes and loads on a lot of reading. He also ordered too many books and the class ended up costing me more money than I have ever spent on an English class. I would not take him again.

This may have been the best class I took at UD. Martin is brilliant, but he leads discussions in such a way that you understand how he thinks and can then do it on your own. Where other profs focus on writing, he emphasizes thought. Taking a class with him will change the way you think about life.

This class OWNED my life for a whole semester- the reading was dense and he really throws you into it. At first I HATED this class but I ended up loving it. He's a genius but really interested in what you have to say about the text. TAKE A CLASS WITH HIM, I felt 10x's smarter afterwards. Exams are spit back from the lecture- just DON'T skip class!

Brueckner is a great teacher! His lectures are very interesting and assignments aren't hard. Only gives 9 short papers, or 6 short and 1 long. Pretty easy grader, gives extra credit and can rewrite one paper. Take a class with Brueckner if you're an English major..must take!

Bruekner is an excellent professor. I would highly recommend his American Lit I course. His lectures are very enjoyable. I only wish that the class was longer, so that I could learn more from him.

One of the top two professors I've had at UD. He is helpful, flexible, clear, brilliant, insightful, and wants you to succeed. Class is interesting and makes you want to attend. Assignments are frequent, but short and managable. If you have to take an English class, take Brueckner.

The best teacher that I have had in my three and a half years at this school. Take whatever course he offers, unless you don't like to write. His grading policy does rely predominantly on weekly three paragraph essays.
