Comment:
Flynn is a professor who changed, focused and directed my life. It was my first college class. He continually encouraged me. I was a broken Nam vet, a guy who was uncertain about returning to "the world", and especially to school. Now, at 64, looking back, I realize that he was one of the guys who taught me how to think critically. Thanks Doc.

Comment:
his classes are pointless. had him for victorian poetry as well. doesn't teach at all. just reads from the book. essays are a joke since they either don't relate to the class learning objectives/material or he grades based off of what HE thinks needs to be on them. little room for student ideas and creativity. boring.

Comment:
Great teacher. He is a bit soft-spoken which can be an issue if you come to class super tired. Attendance is mandatory, and he's a real stickler for grammar. But overall, super nice guy, cares about his students, and really enjoys what he teaches. Take him if you have the chance.

if you're a favorite of his and write what he wants to hear you'll do well. he offers a lot of office hours but it seems only certain people can get A's in the class...i wouldn't say he's an easy grader unless you stroke his ego.

Definitely recommend Flynn, he's a sweet old guy and very easy to talk to. I've gone to his office hours once or twice and he definitely wants you to do well in his class. I am taking him next semester too!

Nice, helpful professor. Class sometimes seems boring, but usually goes by fast. The content was enjoyable, and his take on things like the Bible was interesting to hear. Going to class helps, because you get a lot of helpful notes. He also gives you a packet that has key terms/dates/etc. Grades on the easy side. Good class, great professor.

Flynn's great. He's so intelligent and so knowledgeable about the course material, and he really cares about his students. His reading voice is really soothing, so you might find yourself dozing off during lectures, but overall he's an excellent professor with a lot to offer students.

Comment:
Flynn is a super-sweet man but he is so boring. He talks in this near-whisper of a voice that put me to sleep every single day. His class was fairly easy, but it was more like story time than class. I couldn't deal.

Flynn's easily one of the top english profs here. Erudite, incredible sense of humor, spot on knowledge of the material, he's amazing. He skillfully paints a picture about the time period studied, the personal lives of thepoets, their beliefs and motivations, etc. and makes it very easy to grasp. You can also tell he loves teaching and poetry.

He is so great. I love him. He's nice and helpful and his class is good. Is very cool at times by postponing tests and papers. Talk in a class and he'll like you even more. He's so wonderful.

He's a wonderful professor- sometimes lecture is a little dry, but never too bad. He is actually very open to new ideas and does not deride people for belief in God or the Bible, or for having their own opinions. Overall he's a very good prof.
