He was amazing! I enjoyed his class so much, it was though provoking and challenging. I've never read some of the books in the light he taught them in-- which I loved. I feel like i have a whole new perspective on reading now. I would love to take him again!

His classes were so fun that I couldn't wait to go each week. If you are considering taking a creative writing class, sign up for this guy.

He's a great teacher who really knows his stuff. He's funny too. Sadly, he's leaving NIU for Harlem. I'll miss him.

I never got the feeling he was condesending to women...in fact it was just the opposite. I learned so much from his class and enjoyed it. He has a unique way of looking at WWI that is unique and very interesting.

Comment:
Not a bad professor; his lectures seem redundant after a certain point (I had him for a night class, which definitely didn't help in that department). The only requirements for the class were two 2 pg. papers and one 2 pg. take-home final which was basically a third paper. The 2 pg. thing was probably the most irritating thing about the class-somet

Comment:
This class is very fun. It is extremely long since it only meets once a week but still. I get to write for fun and then have people critique it. I love it. The professor knows his stuff. I am also a female and it may just be that the women out number the men in my class but I do not see him being condescending at all.

Comment:
I took all of his American Lit classes. He is a great teacher and an all around great guy. Very knowledgeable on his subject. Some people comment on his being condescending toward women. I never got that. I only remember him being very fair and he gave the females and males of the class the same chances. I'm a guy so maybe there's something I missed. I actually felt that he related to the students pretty well and is a very understanding guy.

Great teacher, very knowledgeable about each type of lit we read. Available and eager to help outside of class. Feel I must comment on the previous ratings - I am female and did not get the impression that he was condescending at all.

Comment:
Would have to agree that he isn't challenging, however, your grade is solely based on your two papers, one presentation, final, and attendance. Grades papers and presentation tough. I would have to agree that he IS condescending towards the females.Definetly a for me to take one of his class again

This class, while it didn't necessarily help my fiction writing ability, was at least a fun way to kill an hour and 15 minutes. I wonder how he'd be in a literature class.

Knows what he is talking about, but a hard grader. Also more condescending toward female students than you would expect a professor to be..

Obviously loved by students. Unfortunately, the love seems to come from his ability to seem hip and the easiness of the classes. A good enough guy in teacher student relationships but just not terribly challenging

I've had Gandal before and loved him! He really involves the class and contributes meaningful information that helps us relate the information and understand the topic/themes better!! This is my second class w/him and it's as great as the first!
