Michael Collier ENGL243 Expecting an A forrestgumb 12/21/2014	Great professor. Really nice, engaging (for a poetry professor), and never condescends to students. Made poetry bearable for me. As for the grades, discussion participation is worth 10%, the first exam 15%, midterm and final 30%, and an in-class writing makes up the final 15%. For my year the final was a joke (96% was the average), but the midterm and in-class writing was graded semi-harshly. Just make sure to go to class and take notes. Tyler, our T.A., was really cool too. Overall I liked the class and would recommend it to others.
Michael Collier ENGL243 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/22/2011	Easy HL core. I seriously hate writing and reading, but in this class you only have one essay test and you just read short poems in class. The only bad thing about this class is that the lectures are boring and you have to pay attention and take notes to get a good grade in this class.
Michael Collier ENGL243 Anonymous 12/21/2011	I hate this class so much. I dread going to class. Although he is really nice, I just hate everything about the humanities field. I have absolutely no time to waste in this class, because I have to focus on my sciences, but in the end, I am getting an A in this class. I hope that the final isn't difficult. You have two poems to memorize for this course, which I personally think is bs. I am glad I can get my core over with after this. I can definitely say that this is the easiest HL core, if you are a busy science major like I am. Also, if your TA is Amy Katzel, run for your life. Get a MALE TA. You will not regret this.
Michael Collier ENGL243 yumyumshisha 12/02/2011	Check him out online. He's an award-winning poet! So he's an actual poet, not only a teacher. Great class, real engaging.
Michael Collier ENGL243 Expecting an A thewit691 12/20/2010	Cool dude. You don't really have to do anything outside of class because no matter what he tells you to read (1-2 poems) you will go over it in class the next day in depth. Solid B-A if you go to class, which isn't tough to do.
Michael Collier ENGL243 Expecting an A blf123 04/15/2008	He is so nice and such an interesting professor. The course is great and actually fun to go to.
Michael Collier ENGL243 Expecting an A- OneManArmy 01/22/2008	Really good professor. His clarity is unmatched as is his persona. Must go to lecture if you have any chance of passing the exams. All the questions come from lecture. Also, I recommend reading the poems daily. But it was a little more work than expected for a CORE.
