My favorite professor from throughout my entire college career (undergrad, MA, PhD). The absolute best (and funniest), and I wish I was half the teacher he is!

Dennis is awesome, I loved this class. It's also discussion based, and the exams are easy if you pay attention in class. He encourages participation and makes everything interesting, not to mention he's hilarious. I would definitely recommend him.

Comment:
I took Dennis twice (Capstone and Theory) and if i could take him again, I would. He really values his students and keeps things low-key and interpersonal in his classes, but still makes sure you learn the material. Easy grader, super helpful with exam prep/workshopping writing, and hysterically funny and self-deprecating, but an amazing scholar.

One of my favorite professors! The classes were funny and interesting and I never felt like the class was a drag and I was always happy to show up. He makes learning the material entertaining and class discussion was always fun. If we were confused on topics of words he would take time to re-explain them.

I'm taking him this semester for both his English 200 and English 382. I come into class with questions about the readings and He gives back the most amazing and clear answers. Loves to joke around with students. He is a pretty easy grader, which is amazing. The one thing you have to do is make it to class. You are allowed three Unexcused absences.

Dennis is by far the best professor I have ever had. I leave his class feeling like I have truly learned something every single time. I look forward to this class. Always. I usually only skim through my readings for other courses, but he makes you want to read thoroughly, form opinions, and participate. I have never enjoyed a class more than his.

I cannot say how much I love Dennis! He is a fantastic teacher and really loves it when students are interact with him in lecture, which is excellent for me considering I love to talk. The topics were fun and entertaining even when the books weren't. In this class, since being a 200 level is really easy read. Hardest thing you read is McTeague.

He's one of those instructors who makes you love learning. You start working diligently because you want to show him you respect him and the subject and find by the end of semester you are working for yourself and the love of the knowledge you gain in class. Also, keep a page dedicated to random references made each day.It makes a nice found poem.

You leave class feeling like you just had the most intense mind-sex...as in intellectually stimulating. He's also hilarious and brilliant and I want there should be a movie called "The Never Ending Professor" starring him and Falcor, only it would be real. Serious note: perhaps the most inspirational and valuable class I ever had as English major.

Undoubtedly the best, most helpful, intersting professor I've ever encountered. Always makes everything interesting, and always willing to go the extra mile to help a student. Everyone at WVU should take him at least once.

One of the best profs I've ever had. Class was very fun and I learned a lot. Often, I was actually sad when it ended, which is the only time that's ever happened...

Dennis is the man, absolutely the only man who can make Jacque Derrida seem like a cool reading. His classes are filled with deep discussions on a variety of topics.Anyone who misses or drops this class is missing out on alot, his teaching method is awesome.
