Haters will say he's boring, but he's very knowledgeable and compassionate, so I don't care. His syllabus for this class was FULL-- a novella every other day, pretty much-- but most of the texts that I did read were interesting enough. You could sneak by without doing all of them, for sure. Assignments are very minimal. The midterm and final were super easy. Only one paper.

This guy is a bit of an oddball. I had high hopes for this class, but the lectures were so boring I just couldn't stay interested in the texts. He definitely knows a lot about modern and postmodern literature and had interesting interpretations, but the way he runs the class was slow-paced and not engaging. It probably did not help having the class at the end of my day from 2-3:15. The midterm was pretty easy, and the final was a set of take-home essays. Other than that we had a couple of homework assignments and two papers that were no longer than 7-8 pages each. It was not a hard class, just really really dull sometimes.
