Beckley, who earned a B. Search columns. Harlan Beckley. Really amazing professor. Best at this school. Feb 3rd, Beckley is kind of a kooky Professor, so be prepared. I felt he graded papers more harshly when I didn't agree with his opinions than when I did.

Overall just don't take POV and expect an easy class. I'd suggest making a chart to keep track of all the different authors and opinions; it'll be really useful when you write papers.

Sep 2nd, A really great, knowledgeable, passionate professor. Pov was one of my favorite classes and actually inspired me. It is really hard to get an A in Beckley's class, even if you are a good writer, participate in class, and try really hard. Paying attention in class is really important to writing the essays later. Apr 12th, I want to take every class Beckley offers. He is a great listener, teacher, and individual. Mar 31st, I took Professor Beckley's class on a whim, and he is now one of my favorite professors.

He loves good arguments during class and truly cares for his students. He is an excellent professor, and even though the readings are tough, they are definitely worth it to have had a class with him.

Feb 1st, Assigned just as much reading and writing as most humanities professors. Was nice that you could rewrite papers, but wasn't too happy when you didn't feel the way he did. I felt personally attacked when I didn't agree with him and went to meet with him in his office.

It was the worst class I've had at this school. Dec 2nd, These negative comments must be written by freshmen who think they can turn in a bad piece of writing and still get a good grade.

Professor Beckley is one of the best professors at this school. He is a picky grader, but he is trying to make his students better writers. Dudley William C. He was formerly provost and professor of philosophy at Williams College.
