Professor O'Day takes some getting used to. He seems a bit boring at first, but he really appreciates when you get into his lectures. He's very kind and understanding.

He's nice, YES but man is that class BORING. He keeps you until the last few seconds of class, its ridiculous. So monotone & does not make the class interesting AT ALL. Overall, nice prof, educated but BORING.

Dr. O'Day is the nicest professor! He is well educated and extremely interested in the topic (shakespeare) and it absolutely grabs your attention. I loved him the whole semester. He is REALLY understanding, too. Couple papers- read for homework- EASY a/b.. loved it.

i took him 3 times. He can seem a bit stuffy at first, calls you out on your phones and food, but he knows his stuff and hes interesting. Go to class, take notes bc it helps with his quizzes (he lets you know the class before) Hes a nice and genuine man.

LOVED HIM! The class calls for a lot of work and reading, but he wants you to try and get what's going on. If you show effort, he rewards you. He also helps you to understand things. He is very knowledgeable!

Love this man. I have had him for brit lit I/II and 17th cen prose and poetry. He is what I consider a "real" university professor. He's extremely knowledgeable. You learn a lot in his classes. He is also kind man. Not always the easiest tests, but a very fair grader and always tries to help students out. Hope to take him again.

Comment:
There's no question the man is knowledgeable. However, he blatantly exudes favoritism and holds bias towards the material he teaches. Memorize his interpretations of literature if you want to be seen as satisfactory. Excel in mind-reading--you'll be doing a lot of this. Above all, don't expect an A if you're not one of his select brown-nosers.

He is a good prof. who expects his students to do the work. I've taken 2 diffrent classes with him and all we do is read and a paper how hard can that be! He is excellent when it comes to do explaining stories for you so you can understand! All he wants is his students to work at college level! His great!

This is a very old man who calls on you and makes you feel stupid for not knowing the answer.This is my 2nd semester taking him(NOT BY CHOICE!)He grades unfairly and incosistant as he says. His quizzes are hard, and if a lot of people do poorly on them, he gives you even more. He has his favorites and makes it very known. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

I was a sophomore taking a 4440 level class and Dr. O?Day was extremely helpful. He wants everyone to participate and rephrases himself in order for every student to understand him. He loves his subject and is very knowledgeable. He makes times for his students and always listens. TAKE HIM! YOU WILL LEARN AND HE DOESN?T MAKE IT THAT HARD.

He will make you work hard, but he knows his subject well. He dresses professionally and does not blend in with students, which is something I appreciate. He also clarifies things for you when you are confused and does not make you feel stupid like other professors.

He's the best! I try to get classes with him. He will make you work had and you have to read everything. He expects participation, but if you read and try, he doesn't make you feel bad for not knowing what to say. Just make an effort and you're good to go. One of my favorites and the best at this school. If you get the chance, take him.

Keeps you till very last second of class--even later, almost into next class' time. You MUST participate even on the most idiotic discussions or you will lose 20% of your grade. Just teach, damnit! If you'd like a conversation with Queen Elizabeth over tea, take him. I was annoyed. He also has favorites in class. Those who talk on and on.

You will never meet a teacher as passionate about literature (especially all things British), and as caring towards his students. You definitely will work in this class- but you also will get a lot out of it.

Extremely fast talker. At times I could not keep up with his lectures. He covered the entire play of 12th Night in one 2.5 hour class session!! Considernig it counted for half our final exam, I wish he had spent more time on it. I also felt he does not appreciate questions or comments on readings, quizzes, or exams. Gives pop quizzes so be prepared

He is a wonderful professor. He's very traditional in class procedures. He definitely likes people who participate, which I think is a good thing. You definitely get your money's worth with him, he teaches a lot.
