Comment:

Professor North is one of Paces best and most valuable Professors. I took both LIT 211D and ENG 312 with Professor North, and they were among my favorite classes. His talent for poetry is unmatched, and he gives valuable feedback for each and every poem you send him. He is incredibly caring, kind, and a wonderful guy. A must-take professor.

I enjoyed Prof. Norths class! His classes got a little boring because every day was just analyzing the poems we read for homework, but it was interesting to hear his opinions and ideas. Easy to do well, grade is based on one paper, some poems, and some poetry responses. Would recommend LIT211D!

Great professor--I look forward to taking him again. He's lecture heavy and requires a small and cheap poem anthology. In the first half of the semester, he didn't require any assignments but let us hand in poems for feedback only if we wanted. Would highly recommend

Comment:

Charles North is a nice guy, but I regret taking this class. We do the same thing every class and there is very little variety in the work we do. Also for the midterm essay, I rewrote it because I wanted a better grade, but even though the rewrite was better, he only raised it from a B to a B+. Frankly, it was a boring class and a boring teacher.

Dr. North is a wonderful professor. He is knowledgeable on poetry and passionate about what he teaches that his class is an absolute pleasure. The poetry is interesting to read and fun to learn. We had 2 exams, both essay form, which were difficult for some, I imagine, but if you read the poetry and think intelligently about it, you'll do fine.

I will never forget Professor North's classes: had him for ENG 120 and Lit 212D. Each time he challenged me. He makes clear on the first day of class that he has rigorous grading standards by saying "grades must be earned!" All he means is that he wants to read intelligent and interesting papers that were not thrown together last minute.

It's hard to know what grade you'll get into the class. Can be a bit pretentious, I would write the poetry he wants to hear and write my own on the side.

He will turn you into a better writer, as well as give you interesting insight into literature. He's not a particularly easy grader, but he's not difficult either. Has a great sense of humor, and will show a few movies in class. The class discussions are usually fun

North is the best. Class was easy, but still learned a lot. He drops the lowest quiz and paper grade if you have perfect attendance. Class is mostly lecture and is not that bad if you're interested in the material. No hw except to read a short story usually. Great class! Take him!

Professor North is awesome! He loves what he does and knows his stuff well. His class is based on informal lectures,class discussions, a few exams, and quizzes.Make sure you read the lit b/c he likes to throw pop quizzes. He is extremely helpful in terms of writing. He helped me to improve my writing/debate skills. He's also likes to joke around.

Very helpful professor but hard grader. His class has helped me improve my writing. Class conversations are informal but need to take notes b/c quizzes are given both on readings and class disc. Likes to joke around and does not give too much work but expects quality.

I read all the ratings prior to taking Professor North and was expecting hell... He is 1 of the best English professors Ive ever taken. He is extremely helpful outside of class, cares about his students; assigns good readings to keep his students interested. He helped me with 1 of my essays that had nothing to do with his class. He's great!

HARD GRADER.. obscure questions on POP quizzes.. tends to be verbose.. unclear about what he wants for the essays he assigns... you may rewrite some papers but he will only take the average of the original and the rewrite

Professor North is absolutely amazing. I've never had a better english teacher in my life! He is extremely intelligent and wants to share that intelligence with the students. Once in a while he'll give a pop quiz or an in-class essay but if you've done the readings you'll get an A.

Prof. North is the best English teacher I have ever had, handsdown. He a cool, down to earth type of guy, any problems in class, just ask. He aint strict bout rules, and the longest paper he'll give will be only 2-3 pages long. I dont know why people be hating on him, he is a good English professor.

Treats you based on how you approach him. If you act like a moron, he'll treat you like one; if you present yourself as interested and intelligent, he'll treat you likewise and take a personal interest in the development of your writing.
