Comment:
Responds to emails promptly,and tries to be helpful, but provides no useful feedback. Papers were very much a hit or miss-little feedback and explanation of mark. Over weighed minor or trivial mistakes on paper as opposed to focusing on the overall quality. One of the worse professors I have ever had.

Comment:
Professor Kreller is one of the best professors I've ever come across. He is very helpful; he guides students throughout the course. He responds to emails and the discussion board promptly. I'd say that being one of Professor Kreller's students is important as studying Milton's "Paradise Lost" to complete an English degree.

If you ever needed any help with any assignment or concept, he is always willing to take the time to tell you what to do. A very easy marker, but doesn't give many comments on assignments. Very nice prof, but very boring lectures.

Good professor. Very approachable, gives good feedback, particularly if you ask for it. His classes are a little repetitive if you have done the readings right, but very useful if you haven't. Reminded me of Professor Slughorn from Harry Potter.

Comment:
I took this class DE and this prof definitely tried to engage the students by use of a 'coffee club' online discussion forum so gets points for enthuiasism. However the actual course wasn't very substantive (barely any work at all). Also, he takes FOREVER marking assignments and barely gives any feedback, I don't know how he spends so much time.

Comment:
I took 200A with a different prof, and absolutely hated it. I went into this class with low expectations. Kreller transformed British Lit into something incredible for me, and I did well on all of the essays. Watch for the exam - it is a force to be reckoned with. Study hard for it.

Comment:
People who talk about work load are clearly not English students. In comparison to other English classes (which, keep in mind, require 5+ novels among other readings), I've had Prof Kreller three times and he is the easiest and nicest prof! He doesn't assign much work and doesn't have insane standards. He's kind and helpful!Best Engl prof!

Comment:
Not much comments on Instructor it was DE. Course had 2 major essays, 10 quizzes and a final exam. Quizzes were not weighted enough for amount of work. Three novels to read each of which are long and complicated. Professor marks hard on essays and does not leave many comments for improvement. Don't take if want to improve your GPA take other ENGL.

Comment:
Had him for ENGL102B Intro to Poetry through Distance Education. I really hated poetry in High School, but Prof. Kreller's passion for the subject actuall got me hooked on it. He is easy to understand, responds to questions in a timely manner via email and actually participated quite a bit in the online discussions. Best Prof I've ever had & funny

Comment:
British Literature is really not my cup of tea, but prof Kreller manages to always make it interesting. He's always willing to admit if a student mentions a point he's never considered. He is very passionate about the subject and very helpful. Really nice guy. Definitely recommend him for 200A/B and any other boring brit lit classes!!

great prof, but the course is a lot of work between the three novels you have to read and the essays and online quizzes especially if you arent interested in the novels. If you prefer a simpler course with minimal projects and minimal class involvement then dont take this.

The best teacher I've had in my first year of university. As long as you put effort into your essays he marks fair and the exams are amazing. He teaches with clarity and you will learn everythign you need to know in his classes to do well. Awsome Professor!!!!!!

I found this class to be extremely interesting and the Prof. was amazing. Anyone who gave the professor a bad rating should be given a bad rating. They obviously didn't put much effort into this class and didn't have the right way of thinking going into it. The professor is extremely helpful and appreciative of someone's honest work. I love it!

Not into poetry prior to this class, but his enthusiasm on the subject has changed my thinking. Interesting lectures...more like having a conversation than a lecture. Really enjoyed his class

Hilariously funny. Makes you enjoy learning about stuffy old British men. His stories are great and you feel relaxed for one hour of your hectic day. Recommend participating in lectures.

Amazing prof. This was a DE course and he was very involved on the discussion boards and seemed to actually value our opinions. Prof is not afraid to reward hard work. Make an honest effort and you will do well. Wish I could take more courses with this prof. Fantastic!

Amazing professor. He is encouraging and critical in all the best ways. He knows what the material off by heart it seems and he was the only prof out of many that would catch consistent errors I was making in my writing. I took every possible course I could with him.
