Bob is an amazing professor. So long as you come to class, take notes, and put in some effort, you'll do well on his papers and learn a LOT. Plus, there's no reason to miss his classes because he tells so many hilarious stories. He really cares about his students and their success, and he hates tests. One of the best professors ever.

Bob is the best prof I've had since I started at Purdue. He's fantastic. What a genuine, caring guy. I even asked to miss class for Good Friday, and he was extremely caring and understanding (he told me that I could absolutely miss class and even told me what I missed from class). He's super accessible over email. I cannot say enough kind words.

Bob is simply incredible. He is one of the best professors I have seen. He is incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. If you take one of his classes, you will never check the clock. This man is life-changing and worth every penny of our crazy tuition. Bob's classes should be required for all students at Purdue. Do yourself a favor and take his class

Bob is an amazing professor! He not only teaches you about literature but also about life. He cares about knowledge rather than grades. His analysis is spectacular, but he will always make room for the analysis of the students he is teaching. It was a delight to learn from him.

I am currently taking this class, and there are lessons I have learned that I know I will carry with me for the rest of my life. As long as you don't miss class, your grade should be fine. I would still attend every single class even if I was taking it as just a pass/no pass class. Bob is truly a wonderful professor and person.

Potentially life-changing professor. He teaches you about literature and life at the same time.

Bob Lamb is an amazing professor. His lectures tend to run long, but they are so interesting, that no one notices or cares. Class is very interactive, and if you read the material, show up to class, and participate, you'll do fine. The take-home exams are fairly easy and fun to do. Take a Lamb class before graduation, and you will be glad you did.

Bob Lamb is a great professor. It's not every day you get a professor that sings Tina Turner to you. He is personable, and honest. I would take another course with him!

Hilarious, one of a kind. If you're good at close reading, go with him. Easy A. Can be a overly simple class, but never boring.

Lamb has an extremely high opinion of himself. Personally, I do not believe even half of the things he said... especially about himself. He fancies himself as being a funny man but his humor is very droll and quite boring.

The man is very high on himself. Very pretentious and thinks he's funny when he's not.

I took a class by him my freshman year as an Honors credit, and I wasn't expecting to like it since I'm a math major, but he made the class amazing! I plan on taking another class by him before graduating just because he's so great! Suggestion: watch The Godfather if you haven't already seen it. He'll be happy you get all his references.

A great and insightful professor who keeps the class entertaining by telling jokes and stories while opening your mind to the deeper world of literary analysis. I truly enjoyed the class, even as a science major, and the class boils down to 2 midterm papers and 1 final paper. Just follow the directions for the papers and you'll have an easy time.

Bob is the best professor I have had at Purdue. He is down-to-earth, funny, and extremely intelligent. He is the epitme of what a professor should be --caring, understanding, and possessing a true love of the material he teaches. I only wish I could take more of his classes!!

Bob is amazing. Super helpful and very interesting. He knows his stuff but doesn't talk down to you or act arrogant and preachy. Don't really need text books, just a course packet and some novels and he actually picks good things to read! He is hilarious and always makes listening easy. He does the survey course the RIGHT way.
