Best seminar I've taken so far! Professor Schotland is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She stimulates really interesting discussion and does a very good job of incorporating movies and literature in the course. She also gives summaries and excerpts from all the reading material so you don't have to read and purchase multiple novels in a short amount of time. You also still get the feel for the text and can have meaningful conversation about it. All of the assignments can be on any topic you want as long as it incorporates the overarching theme of Utopia/Dystopia. The assignments are fun and challenge your creativity. She gives As as long as the time and effort is there.

There are a lot of positive reviews for Schotland, so this is one more. She really values positive discussion, and is more than happy to move on from an unproductive topic of conversation, so every seminar is relevant. She honestly seemed interested in the discussion herself. Grading is handled very smoothly. Show up, do the reading, do the three assignments, and she'll make sure you don't have to worry about your grade. Class readings are set up so that they don't become repetitive. Even in what I thought was a narrow and specific topic (Utopia), we read a huge range of material and watched a couple movies. Highly recommended.
