Comment:
Stan is self-indulgent and has a serious Peter Pan complex. It doesn't take a lot of effort to do well in his class, especially if you sleep with him. Having said that, it's been 20 years since I took his class and i still have a soft spot for him.

Best professor I have had at UW. He is HILARIOUS, understanding and flexible. Takes a real interest in his students. Talks about extremely interesting things. I didn't particularly enjoy the books on the syllabus but went to every single class just for him.

Prof Fogel is amazing. I went twice and got an 82, although he liked that I handed in all my stuff really early. Anyways great prof if you want easy and enjoyable. Super fun guy and talks about crude things...who wouldn't love him? He says the f word extensively.

Comment:
I understand why some have enjoyed this prof, however if you want to actually learn something about criticism, he is not the proffessor to go to. He is crude, rambling, and very self indulgent. He is also retiring after the Winter 2011 term, so if you truly want to take his course, get on it!

Marks very fairly, appreciates your ideas, and cracks the funniest jokes ever! He's super friendly and approachable, very understanding about the hectic university life and will not deduct marks if you really need an extra day to complete your essays. Classes are easy going and you will definitely take something away from this class.

Fogel's worth it for the anecdotes alone. Friendly, funny, and casual, but he absolutely knows his stuff. Manages to teach different courses identically, just with different books. 90 minute classes rarely run longer than 60. Offers "bonus marks" for various odd things (ie. using made-up words in an essay), and is generally regarded as an easy 88%.

Comment:
He comes into class looking like a 60-year old with a teenage fashion sense. Tattoos, earrings, capri shorts, skater shoes, sunglasses always perched atop his spikey hair... Lectures for three hours using a small post-it note as lecture material. Even so, he really blew my mind when it came to post-modernism and all that jazz. Recommended.

Professor Fogel is UW's best kept secret. His lectures are extremely entertaining, yet challenge students to think outside the box. Professor Fogel is very approachable and very respectful of his students. I highly recommend his courses, even if you are not an English major.

Comment:
Took every course that Dr. Fögel offers. He is one of the few members of academia that I aspire to mirror in every respect. His intellectual abilties move at a rate exponentially higher and faster than many of his colleagues. Classes are interesting, amusing, informative, horrifying, offensive, disturbing, and motivating. Genius. True Genius.

Comment:
Totally random and unpredicatable, but so much fun. His classes are interested, mostly because they're so far off topic it's insane. Easy marker, totally up for new ideas and new ways of thinking. My last essay was a page and a half book review not using the letter E and I got an 88%.
