Comment:
I am annoyed that this instructor is capable of turning an inherently intriguing subject matter (lit theory/criticism) into an unbearably dull and unpleasant academic experience, but Clark does just this. Could he possibly be any more lackluster in his lectures or disposition? Hardly.

AWESOME LECTURER, just PAY ATTENTION and you don't even need to read the text. He's amazing. In Eng 100, the text is heavy and hard to understand, but if you take good notes in class and talk to Clark about things you don't understand, you'll do ok. BUT YOU GOTTA STUDY: seriously, it's not easy, but you can gain so much knowledge from this class.

This picture is hilarious. He's really nasally and his lectures are boring and dry like his personality. I think he's approach to grading is out of whack.

Comment:
English 100 is the worst English course I have ever taken.Theory is something you either love or hate (I hated it).You might as well take this professor because he's better than Warminski. You must attend class and you have to take very detailed notes. I'm an A/B student and I studied my ass off for this class, but still got a B-

Prof Clark is wonderful! You have to read, attend class and use your brain! If you make the effort, Clark will work with you. Attend office hours and introduce yourself to him. He is extremely helpful and understanding if you have any issues with the material or the class in general. Read the material, Show up, take notes, and you will do fine!

Comment:
you really have to do the reading and go to lecture to get a good grade. grade is based on two exams and the final, attendance and participation are not considered, he's a tough grader, he explains a lot of the readings in class but at the end of his sentences, he lowers his voice, so you really have to listen. boring class, but informative.

I recommend Professor Clark- not only does he teach an interesting topic, but he has a sense of humor which pairs well with his extensive knowledge on American history. He gives most people B's. Only about 10/90 students received an A. Lectures are easy to follow even if you haven't read.

Excellent lecturer. Clear and doesn't beat around the bush when getting his point across. Though it can get boring at times because of the material, he's still a really good professor.

He was more helpful than Van Sant, however still boring, sometimes unclear, but very very intelligent. With his lectures I think its best to bring a recorder then play it back! He brings up interesting points , but honestly iin the morning its hard to follow.

Professor Clark's lectures were the most interesting this quarter. He used a lot of visuals and had great connections between the three books he covered. He was very interesting and I would definitely recommend him.

Comment:
He really knows his stuff but can be pretty boring at times. He's not the relaxed type and always starts lectures a couple of mins early so get there early! He always gives a lot of background to what is being read and is into studying art related to the work. He also likes to read from the book...aloud in class....a lot.

Not as clear as the other lecturers, didn't talk directly about the texts as much. Lectures were pretty easy to follow.

His lectures were a little harder to follow, but he still presented good points. He also got creative with interpreting pictures and relating it to the books. A lot of people favored him over Hart and Van Sant.

Can make your blood freeze during the orals but definitely motivates you to know your stuff. An expert on both colonial and 20c American lit. Good to have on your dissertation committee b/c he's so well-connected professionally.

Professor Clark was helpful even though lectures were a bit dry. He gives a good background to the work he is covering and helps you understand the history of the time. Worth going to lecture for sure! He is a very knowledgeable instructor.

Okay, what was with the maps? Half of his lectures were dedicated to unnecessary historical and geographical background. He was an okay lecturer, but not really interesting. At all.
