Helped me rediscover my love of poetry. Dude is an expert when it comes to literature and literary theory, and also has a pedagogical approach that is a welcome break from usual academia. Seth is a fantastic teacher. If you get a chance, take his class.Rate My Professors ↗
Seth is probably the smartest man I have ever had teach me. He genuinely cares about your success. His Metamodernistic spin to the class may be frustrating at first, but once you truly understand it, it's actually very interesting. He is a fair grader and is understanding about late work, absences, tough assignments, etc. You will learn a lot.Rate My Professors ↗
He is incredibly kind and very helpful in regards to proper English grammar.Rate My Professors ↗
Interesting background with being a lawyer. Course has a criminal justice emphasis which made it interesting.Rate My Professors ↗
He's super helpful, not boring, is pretty funny, and makes the class interesting. And you actually learn something!Rate My Professors ↗
Seth is by far one of the best teachers ive ever had at UW-Madison. He puts his own spin of criminal justice into the english class so that the prompts for writing assignment are more interesting. He has a really interesting background between being a former lawyer and published poet. I would highly recommend his class, you wont regret it!Rate My Professors ↗
