His lectures are aimless and unclear a lot of times, but I would still recommend taking him. The papers are short and he is an easy grader. I put in minimal effort and received an A

Very knowledgeable about Brit Lit, a really nice man and if you really need an extension on an assignment he will give it to you. lectures were boring unfortunately but just read out of the textbook and you'll be money

He is a really nice guy, but is pretty unorganized in both thoughts and covering the material. However, the class was pretty easy and required 5 short papers, 1 long paper, and 2 tests.

This is the dullest class you can take! Mell is a sweet man and cares about his students but his lecture leaves more to be desired.

DO NOT TAKE THE AGE OF SATIRE.. every class i went to i immediately regretted going.. paid more attention to the clock then what he was talking about. should have retired years ago and wore the same belt everyday. Bring word jumbles/crossword puzzles to pass the time

I felt like I was going to sleep and I'm one of the ones who was able to answer questions, the guy next to me played videogames on his cell phone.

Comment:
Lectures are unfortunately boring, but he's definitely knowledgeable and intelligent, and obviously very nice. If you don't mind the lectures and do the readings, he doesn't seem like a very tough grader.

He talks to no one and does nothing to create any kind of class environment at all. It was impossible to enjoy this class because I spent the entire time spacing out, which is a shame.

Comment:
ugh! soooo boooring. I like to consider myself a pretty well applied student, but when he starts to talk I feel like shooting myself, I think, "do I really care anymore?" This class was excruciating to go to, but I still did pretty well. So if you don't mind driving yourself crazy every other day to get a decent grade, go for it.

He seems like a really nice guy who is obviously very intelligent, but I had to drop this class because it was hard for me to follow his train of thought--he has so much to say but his thoughts seem unorganized and they tend to jump around a lot

Comment:
He tends to interrupt himself; Also, he can be pretty boring. But, he knows his stuff, gets you slightly more interested, and can bring up many aspects of satire you hadn't thought about before. Read the works, use his topics, and you'll be fine.

He really wasn't that bad and he truly knows his stuff. If you go to him with questions he'll help you. Yes, he is old and yes, he does love this topic so yes, it could be considered boring at times but I learned a lot. He's a pretty fair grader.

This may be a class in satire, but theres nothing funny about this class. Boring & BEWARE!! the paper grades u get are the opposite of the effort u put in. 0 effort=A. 100% effort=C Lectures.....sometimes I feel like I walked into the wrong class.

He isn't that bad of a teacher. He is fairly easy if you read the material. However, my classmates were the strangest brew of college students ever assembled.
