Afraid not; professor in Philadelphia. I suspect that the professors who teach these kind of courses often get great reputations. ;) I never actually took any of those classes from him (very difficult classes to get into), but I did have a creative writing class with him freshmen year. He gave me a lot of really good feedback that made it clear that he had carefully read what I wrote. A very good professor in his own right, but teaching those very popular classes could only help.
