Comment:

To say Professor Forman is an asset to the university is an understatement. He is incredibly generous with his time and is very accessible outside of the classroom. Any question or concern you may have will be addressed with a thorough explanation filled with kindness. I have learned much from him. Do not miss an opportunity to take his class!

Comment:

Professor Forman is great when it comes to providing insight on literature. However, he expects you to read at your own pace which can sometimes be inconvenient. He also provides very little to no feedback when it comes to reading essays. On the bright side, he is a quick grader. P.S. you can get through this class without listening to the lectures

Professor Forman is truly one of the kindest and passionate professors I've ever had. I know the classes sound boring, but I promise he makes it so enjoyable and loves to hear original thoughts. The readings really aren't that bad and he's very lenient. No exams, just 3 very fair papers. Please take him! All you have to do is go to class and read!!

Professor Forman is one of the sweetest professors I have ever had. The class itself involves a lot of reading, but he makes the reading easier to understand through his notes. He grades very quickly and gives good feedback. I will say there is quite a bit of reading but if you keep up and take notes, you will do fine in this class.

Robert Forman is a very sweet man who is passionate about what he does... being about in his 80s and still showing up to do classes during a pandemic. He will help you with any questions. Readings can be tedious but it is really only one question per book you read for the three essays. Definitely take while he is still here or you will regret!

Professor Forman is passionate and enthusiastic about everything he teaches, and his classes are clearly focused. I've taken him for a few courses and he makes the most of each class time and helps every student understand and enjoy the material as best as he can. He really cares, and he is one of the best professors I've taken at St. John's.

you have to read 6 books (this is the worse part of me) and then you get two tests and a final. Each test is two essay questions on the book. Make sure you dont wake till the last minute to do the assignments because they start pilling up

Comment:

Dr. Forman might be the greatest professor at SJ. He teaches many different courses, each interesting in its own way. Dr. Forman also runs the Honors program which exposes students to culturally important places/things in NYC. A great man who is passionate about what he teaches. If you have the opportunity to take him, do. Also, cracks great jokes.

I'm so happy I had the opportunity to take him for this class. He is very clear-cut, so no surprises on the 3 exams we take in the class. Just show up, do the readings (or don't), understand the themes he's talking about and you're good to go. He genuinely cares and puts effort into his lectures when it comes to real world connections. Best prof!

Professor Forman is such a caring man. You either need to go to class and listen to his lectures or read the books, don't have to do both. Three tests in a semester, five questions each. 100% would recommend.

Forman is a very nice guy. He is one of those professors that I feel lucky to be able to say I got to take him during my time at SJU. Read the books and show up to class to do well on the exams. He really values participation. He is getting older so if you have the opportunity to take him do so before you miss it

Professor Forman is amazing!!! I took his Honors Global Literature course and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. There's no homework in this class (except for reading the books to keep up with the discussions). We only had 3 tests and they were solely based on his lectures so make sure you pay attention and take good notes!

he gives three exams on the five books you read for the class. he never seems to take attendance since i never actually saw him writing anything down. the text are 10 short answer questions to which you choose five. you can get by with not reading the books if you plan on listening to the whole lecture and not zone out.

He is the cutest man ever. The only thing I would say is that he moves really fast so make sure you are caught up with the books. Just pay attention and take notes and you'll get an A. There are 3 tests and he is very clear about what is on them.

Dr. Forman is honestly the best professor. Not only is he the sweetest guy, he makes 7:30 am Global Literature enjoyable. He recognized that this was going to be many people's last English class, so he tried to make it not only simple but as enjoyable as possible. You only have 3 tests all year and he helps you know exactly what is on them.

Dr. Forman is a man with a great knowledge of nearly any topic. He is a very easy grader and loves his students. I don't have much interest in the class because it is not my major, but it's not because he' s a bad teacher, it's becasue I dislike the topic. Would reccommend him to anyone.
