Love the class! He is a great professor, and it's a really fun class. If you read the books, attend and pay attention to lectures, you'll be fine. Pay attention to detail. Overall, it's really enjoyable and I wish I could have taken more classes with him :)

GREAT prof, GREAT class! I would recommend him/it to anyone, English student or not! The few fallbacks: there are an unrealistic number of books assigned (probably assumes that since they are childrens books, 2 novels a week is normal- killer!)and makes no use of WebCT. Exams are tricky, so reading the texts is not optional.

I absolutely and entirelly adore this professor. Never have I had a professor that I've loved so much and it's a real shame that this is the only class he's teaching these days, what with being retired and all. I honestly wish it was thirty years ago so I could take more of his classes. LOVE. BEST PROF AT THIS SCHOOL.

Direct. Keeps things simple. Repeats things that are important. Helpful. Shows the class old exam so you know what to expect. Quirky. Makes 3 hr lectures go by easier. Overall, really happy with Lovejoy as a Prof!

Comment:
very good class. he tends to repeat things alot but that is good because this way things stay in your head. DO NOT over complicate things when answering exam questions. stick to the simple facts he tells you in class, no need to be creative. read the books and watch the lectures. I am not an English major and I got a good mark.

Agreed. He is one of the Best profs. @ Carleton. Clear. Helpful. Easy class (and that's not why I'm saying he is a good prof.) I wish I could take another class with him as prof.

Comment:
the most boring prof ever. we are expected to read the books, but than he reads in a slow monotone voice for like half the class. he wastes time by bringing in useless newspaper articles so we can 'get to know the author more'.his classes were boring & empty. the preperation for the exam was has no relevance to the finals.

interesting, clear expectations, lots of books to read - but chooses generally interesting ones, No assignments, 2 exams - 40%&60%, concentrate on author's writing styles and you'll be able to identify most of the quotes he gives, sometimes he goes off topic - he's a sweetheart

Very laid back prof. His expectations are sometimes a little unclear but if you go to his office hours or talk to him before or after class he's very helpful. Overall he's a really great prof with a lot of knowledge about what he's teaching.

Great class, great content, good prof. If you read all of the books and listen to what he says in class then you'll do fine. Two exams, worth 40 and 60%

One of the very very few truly amazing profs at Carleton. He does focus in on details of the books but if you keep up with the course work you will be fine. I would take any class he taught!

Prof. Lovejoy is really nice and kind teacher. He explains all the concepts and themes of each book clearly. You have to make sure to read each book though. His exams are good, as long as you have kept up in class. Class participation is also recommended

There are many baooks to read in this course. Lovejoy really expects you to know all of them inside and out. The final exam is worth 60% and is super hard.

I watch every week for a new sweater! Absolutely love the sweaters. Class is good, kind of boring... but he knows what hes taking about and DETAILS (!!!!!) are important to know of the books... read carefully, and you will be fine. the book sate enjoyable so its a little easier....

just an okay class. heavy reading load and fairly interesting lectures but if it didn't go into any depth over the changes over time in children's lit or any threories etc that could have been applied to the class. would be a much better class if it wasn't so large and through CUTV. i wish there was a follow up upper year class!

For the person who wrote the 8/30/06 comment: perhaps you should learn how to spell before insulting a professor...I mean "thoroghly"?? I think you meant "thoroughly", but because of your arrogant attitude, you don't merit the "typo" excuse. Great prof!! Read all the books and love them! Don't expect it to get complex...it's children's lit!!!!

A great class. The reading was engaging. Does a good job of pointing out the complexities in books that are assumed to be simple. Lovejoy is so laid back his lectures are like a good chat over coffee. Truly enjoyable.

Likes to show pictures and ramble on about things that have nothing to do with the books content or the exam. Have to know specifics about the book or your gonna be lost. Don't really need to watch/go to the lectures - just read carefully and thoroghly
