Comment:
Professor Faherty seems very intelligent, but he delivers such an impulsive, macho attitude toward students. That might be because he's living inside of his head, but students can't be sure why. The class could have been much more beneficial for students if he knew how to interact with students more respectfully and gracefully.

Super passionate professor! I honestly dont know what all the negativity in these reviews are about. He pokes fun at everyone including himself so its really not that serious. Theres a ton of reading, though. Still, hes extremely understanding and easy to reach outside of class. His feedback is helpful and hes just overall a great guy!

Great guy. If you go to every class you don't need to read thoroughly. I didnt read any of the books, just payed attention in class and took notes and got an A-, so if you read a little more than I did I guess you'll get an A or A+. The midterm and final are very fair. He's not out to get anyone, he's very down to Earth. Overall, nice class.

This man is a superb English teacher. When I had him he was focusing on slavery a lot in the literature. It opened my eyes a lot. He truly cares about the subject. There are no essays or assignments besides reading of course. Midterm multiple choice and final MC and essay (3 to choose from). It is a lecture class not a small class. Take him!!!

I also don't understand any of comments about him being a bad professor. He was honestly one of the best ones I had and certainly the most helpful and enjoyable. You do have to do all the readings and there are a lot of them, but if you do the required work well and attend class there is no reason you shouldn't get an A

So, don't take Faherty's class if you're a moron (though he tolerates them just fine). The material probably isn't fascinating if you're not an english person, but if you are, he's amazing. Take his class if you're serious, and willing to do a fair amount of reading. And this man should have a pepper! :)

Comment:
I am confused about the claims of arrogance and nastiness which some have posted, as I found Prof. Faherty to be one of the nicest and most helpful professors that I have had. He did not even raise his voice when it was clear that most of the class had not done the reading. I found his class to be engaging and interesting.

He's a great teacher, he's really nice and he's helpful. Plus, he makes potentially dull work fun.

Comment:
Ego wise, He's getting dangerously close to tytell. he doesn't give an "a" unless you give him grad school quality work, which is kind of a problem, given that we're undergrads. Otherwise, the literature selected is droll and unamusing, and the class is boring. take him if your a masochist.

Prof Faherty is a great teacher. As someone said, he doesn't really critisize, and i've heard some horrible comments coming from my classmates. His class was very participation oriented so always be prepared.

Comment:
I must say that I had reservations after the first class. However, Dr. Faherty encouraged everyone to speak, did not criticize any comments or insights by the students, and provided positive criticism on the reports I handed in to him.

He does not believe in giving A's. He says "unpack" constantly. The material is dreadful, and he makes you read as much as possible.
