There is quite a bit of reading, but that is what you expect going into an English course. You have to read though in order to pass his class. You have to talk in a class discussion about readings. Two papers about the books we read and a final. Furr is not as bad as he is put out to be

ALL about encouraging students to THINK FOR THEMSELVES! The discussion groups he puts us in definitely help with that. Some of the readings/assignments can get a little repetitive, but overall very intelligent and insightful. It's OK to disagree with his political views, but look past his teaching style and you'll see he does mean well.

One of the most honest professors I have every come across... If you are interested in exchanging and learning (both ways) both English language and history, I would really recommend the professor Furr

I was in his Middle English Literature class in 1994. I never had any issues with him or his class.

LOVE HIM!! He is so funny and smart. The subject is boring and dull but as long as you do the work, show up to class, and bring the material then you'll pass easily!

Yikes, this guy is as boring as they come and seems to have a poor grasp of the facts...
ENGL284
I have NEVER taken a worst professor in my life. His attitude is horrible and he purposely makes the students feel bad. he is not understand AT ALL. He does not teach just has you do discussion groups the whole time. DO NOT take his class!!!!!!!

History of Journalism- Easy class, nice professor.. do the homework assignments and you'll be fine. Readings assigned each class but its short and easy
ENLT206
Absolutely horrible. Everything was done by email. Homework was useless. The class had nothing to do with its title--"the coming of age theme." It was about politics and communism. I am NEVER taking a class taught by him again.
ENGL245

He is a harsh grader, I usually liked literature classes but this guy will have you reading novels in a very short amount of time! HW is due at 8 pm before class, nice guy but will never take again.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here & give the man serious accolades. I had him there in 1985 for World Literature, and he made you go off campus to get the books because they were cheaper. He's a socialist, but so what? I learned a different viewpoint from my own. Wrote a paper a week, but it taught me how to write well. You have it easier now!
ENGL240
STUDENTS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW: i wouldn't take him again. more than half the class failed the midterm, even after the "curve." (he emailed everyone's grades to the class.) he didn't care. rarely let students participate. was nicer to male students. no feedback. unclear about how much anything is worth. nice sometimes. offensive toward religions.
ENGL345
very easy teacher! homework every class, but it's very easy and quick. One research paper and a final online.very smart. he knows what he's talking about. lectures can be very boring so make sure you bring your laptop! attendance isn't mandatory; just email him before class and he'll excuse you. If you do your work, this class should be an easy A.
ENGL344
Very smart man!!! Class and work is a little tedious at times, but he makes you learn this way. Tries to make class fun, but serious about his job. I will try to take him again!
ENLT271
Overall - nice guy, understanding. If you email ahead of time that you'll be absent, totally fine. There are little writing assignments, but easily done in 10 mins. Discussions are insightful. You mostly work with your group. Books are interesting.
ENGL274
He tends to over do it on homework assignment, which you have EVERY class, but I enjoyed it anyway. He loves his job and it shows through in the class discussions. He's lenient, but not stupid! If you go to class and do the work, you'll do well. Can't wait to take him again!

This guy is pretty funny and definitely keeps your attention. Don't mind the weird hat, but his lectures and assignments are geared to teaching you the material. If Dr Furr is good at one thing, it is making sure EVERYONE knows the texts studied. Don't complain about the hw, its 2 times a week and at most 400 words-this is college after all.
