Comment:
Carter Hanson is a great English professor. He knows his stuff, and he is also down to earth, which is a rarity in this department. I felt that our class discussions in Young Adult Literature not only had a lot of depth but had purpose too. He is very easy to talk to, and if you do the work, show up, and participate, you'll be just fine.

Comment:
For someone teaching an online course, he didn't know how to use Blackboard. Never posted grades the entire term. Never received feedback on written work. Pulled final grade out of thin air. I asked to see feedback on my final paper, he avoided the question. When challenged about my final grade, he didn't respond until it was too late to appeal.

Prof. Hanson is a nice man, he is east to work with. However, he can not lead discussions, he brought no outside information or aide in our class. We all just showed up and talked till the time was out each day about nothing. I didn't mind the class, but some days I thought I (just a student!!!) could have done a better job preparing it.

Comment:
Professor Hanson was my least favorite teacher for the semester that I had him. He cancels class or ends early often enough to show that he doesn't take what he is doing very seriously. He is rather lacking in his ability to lead discussions. His questions don't make students want to contribute and he can't turn a response into a new question.

Very nice, tends to be long winded in CORE. Helps a lot, not hard at all as long as you know what you're talking about. Take him!

Very good prof, he knows his stuff for core. He's an Engligh teacher, but he's not too tough on papers! Tends to drone a little bit, but is very engaging if the class is.

He is so much fun. Everyday is more exciting and on most days it is my favorite class. He never is downright mean to anyone, plus he helps me understand the material. He is a fantastic prof.

Carter Hanson is my favorite teacher this year. Hes a very easy grader and has a good sense of humor. We've only had two pop quizzes this year, and ive gotten 95's on both my exams. I would recommend this prof to anyone taking CORE!!!

Comment:
I took his Canadian Lit seminar my Senior year. I noticed that a lot of first-year students wrote that he made you feel stupid in CORE. Hmmm...maybe it was because you were new and didn't have much knowledge in English. Come on, just admit that you didn't read! Ha ha! He is an excellent prof.

Very... interesting... man. Loopy would be a good word to desribe him. Dedicated to what he does though and his tests are a breeze if you've done the reading and paid attention in class.

His class is pretty easy, his lectures can be a bit boring, but definitely a cool guy who is willing to work with students and has a sense of humour.

I do not like his class. He is so boring, and does not accept everyone's ideas. He talks the whole time. He made me feel stupid a couple of times.

His classes are usually interesting and he's funny, too. He knows a lot about the subject matter and explains it well without acting like a pompous know-it-all, unlike some of the other English professors here.
