Bristow is soooooo great. He definitely knows what he is talking about and puts a spin on it. Lectures are funny and you actually want to participate. He is a fair grader, and my writing definitely improved. I miss his class now. He was so amazing and very funny. Take him if you can, you will not regret it. Bristow rocks!!!

I love Professor Gallagher. His lectures really are interesting, I mean he made The Faerie Queene honestly enjoyable. I would feel bad when I was behind on the reading because he really did love what he was lecturing about and wanted us to enjoy it too. Granted sometimes he goes off topic about growing up on a farm, or gets a little abstract but if you're an English major, abstract should be no biggie.

Well, what can I say? It's his choice what he wants to teach about in this class because it's a variable topic of British Studies. It is true he just got his PhD, but my God this man far exceeds most other professors at UCLA. His class doesn't seem hard at first, but when it comes down to it, he will grade tough. I really cherish every moment I had in this class, I mean, it's the Gothic novel vs. National Identity! But it's more than that, he teaches you his philosophy of life and provides it through literature, but also makes you gain a profound understanding of what the University expects from you as a literary critic and why character analysis is not enough. The course shouldn't be that structured as it wasn't, but his wealth of literature and knowledge make it more than worth the trouble to take his class. I will continue to work with him in future semesters, so think about that...
