Comment:
So surprised at the good comments! Gould is verbose-he uses unnecessarily long words while trying to look cool, which made me think that even he doesn't understand what he's saying. He doesn't make sure everyone has a chance to participate, allowing his favorites (the talkers) to go on and on. Half what people said in this class was bs/vocab words.

Comment:
Took a seminar on Melville with Prof Gould. He is a very knowledgeable about 19th and early 20th century literature and history; provokes stimulating discussions and responds positively to comments in class. Very approachable and sets up extra office hours to talk with students about essays, and give feedback. Made me fall in love with Melville!

Comment:
Very surprised to see other comments. The most boring professor I've ever had (and this is my final year). No original thoughts, no spark, no clear idea of what he's doing in class, and extremely awkward as a bonus. His class is a complete waste of time.

Wonderful professor and wonderful man. Though I usually hate early colonial literature, he made is amazingly interesting. Plus, his feedback on assignments were incredibly helpful. I definitely felt like a better writer at the end of his class.

Prof. Gould rocks my world. He made the most boring stuff interesting. And for how busy he is he really takes the time to help you/talk to you.

Thought he was pretty cool for teaching at Brown and even wore a tweed jacket woith the elbow patches just to make sure everyone knnew he was a professor. He also contantly reminded us that he had also gone to Brown - when it was more challenging

This man brought Hawthorne to life for me. As a high school English teacher, I constantly find myself reaching back to his class!
