He's a good professor and a nice guy. Not too stuffy, and he accepts late work like a champ. Going to events is a part of your grade, but they're just simple campus events. Overall, Barry is definitely a good choice.

Loved Kitterman's 1020 class. English is far from my favorite subject, but he had us read interesting stories which helped. Read a story every night, short 3 question quiz next day. Easy A's. No tests, 4 or 5 papers. Good feedback on them, multiple opportunities to revise for a new grade. Show up, pay attention, pass. I highly recommend to everyone

I took Barry for my English 2020 class and he is an AMAZING professor. He genuinely cares about his students. He makes English fun; however attendance is required but I never wanted to miss his class. I loved his class.! Great teacher!

I wanted to drop to begin with, because of all the papers and class participation. I'm very shy and the thought of having to talk out loud or being called on randomly terrified me. He turned out to be the best professor I've ever had. You read a lot, write papers, but you LEARN. He's so relatable and his class was always thought provoking. TAKE HIM

Barry is not only a great professor, but a great person. Our class sat in a circle every day, and we mostly just read poems and talked about them. There are only about 5 papers over the semester, and only 1 requires research. He gives great feedback on papers and is a very easy grader with them. He isn't strict at all & I recommend him to everyone!

Barry was an awesome professor. I loved taking his class. He gives very fun reading assignments and lets you correct your essays and resubmit them for a higher grade. He'll meet with you personally and help you with your papers. He's a very fun, goofy, man. He swears often. I really liked his class, and I'm going to take him again next semester!

Dr. Kitterman is my favorite professor from this semester. As far as Honors professors go, he is pretty easy and his classes are fun and informative. He definitely is very strict about class attendance. He only gives about two essay assignments and grades them pretty fairly. He also gives great feedback and the chance to do essay revisions.

Barry Kitterman is one of the best professors. He is very helpful and will sit with you personally to keep you on track. He has amazing feedback and allows and encourages improving all grades and extra credit. Reading at home was required after every class from textbooks or handouts but it was an easy task. Essays were clearly defined. Must take.

Professor Kitterman, or Barry, is a wonderful professor. I took his HON 2010 course last semester and I am now taking his Writing Fiction course. He is very chill but he does expect hard workers. He is very nice, funny, and considerate of others. I recommend every aspiring writer to take his classes. :)

I've taken two classes with Barry. He's great. Grading is fair, work is easy if you keep up on it, expectations are clear and fair. He's also very approachable outside of class and while he keeps class on track he allows students a lot of freedom of expression, especially in creative writing and choosing paper topics.

Barry is very nice and a wonderful teacher. But, if you're the type to skip class more than once, beware. He is VERY strict about attendance. If you miss more than one class, he automatically deducts your final grade to a B. He is also very confusing. I tried to edit one of my stories on his critique, but then days later he says he didn't say it.

Be prepared to write a lot of papers for this class. Kitterman is engaging, but sometimes a little crazy. I was not thrilled with his selection of Huddle's "Nothing Can Make Me Do This" for a class read because it includes graphic descriptions of certain addictions. Aside from that, great class!

Loved this class! I'm going to miss it. Very easy to get a good grade, just read the material. All required reading is interesting, and as long as you can defend your opinion he'll accept it. If I get the chance to take another class with Barry I will, he was such a great teacher. I suggest Professor Kitterman to everyone I talk to.

Creative stories! awesome teacher! one of the best english teachers ever. reading assignments every night but they are short stories and really interesting. there is a quiz at the beginning of each class of just basic questions from the stories then the rest of the class is discussion about it.

Professor Kitterman is amazing! He's so funny and incredibly nice. Don't take his class if you aren't going to show up, because it's very participation based. Also, if you don't like to think or question your beliefs, don't take him. I really really enjoyed the class!

He is a very kind, very smart man. He does push the limit of realism though when it comes to how many pages a person can humanly read in 4 days. 300 of a difficult novel? no way.

took him for 2010 in summer, read 5 books, 2 essays, 1 test, quizzes everyday, counts participation alot!!!, intense about literature, likes to call on everyone, but still approachable guy. Nice man, however, his grading, like all english professors is unique to him, so you have to figure him out. prefers an informal style.
