Comment:
Professor Fyler is very sweet, caring, and passionate, but he assigns way to much reading. Chaucer is already hard to understand, but having to read thousands of lines per day with the addition of other texts is just too much. And because no one did the reading, Fyler dominated class discussion. He does grade essays fairly easily, though.

Comment:
I've so far taken two classes and audited another with Professor Fyler. He is an excellent teacher, good at explaining texts, providing context, and promoting further thought. He gives very good feedback and will provide commentary for essay drafts and outlines. He also is fairly flexible with deadlines.

Comment:
I had Old English with Prof. Fyler, and I really loved having him. He makes [dry] material interesting, and he's always drawing rather odd but hilarious connections with random things. He's very lenient with due dates. You don't need to read everything, but he recaps the main parts during his lecture. I'm definitely taking Chaucer with him.

He's not the best lecturer, but he's still a very good professor. He's very understanding of what it's like to be a college student (he reminisces sometimes about his experiences in undergrad/gradschool). I enjoy attending even though it doesn't seem required. Lenient on due dates and is willing to help you understand material better. Great guy!

Comment:
Not the worst lecturer at Tufts but not a good one either. If you take him, be prepared for some redundancy. You don't need to read all the books to do well. Expect to listen to his complicated presentations on outside material. Didn't learn much, didn't particularly enjoy the class but it was good enough to fulfill the requirement. He gets a C-.

Articulate in presenting material, well-chosen texts, and good comments on semester papers. He led a fine, intense seminar. I learned a lot.

Comment:
Professor Fyler tries really hard to get us interested in the material, even though the class doesn't talk much. The class is more interesting than I thought it would be, but Fyler requires a fair amount of tedious translating and kind of a lot of reading. He's a very nice guy and willing to help.

Prof. Fyler does his best to make interesting material boring. I think he's been teaching too long.

Very nice guy and a good teacher. Enjoys literature for very intellectual reasons which can be a little hard to emphasize with, but he always encourages class involvement and is incredibly respectful of his students and their opinions.
