Winter 2024 - If you like Medieval lit, you'll love this class. He is very knowledgeable about the context and gives lots of supplemental readings. However, he often talks around the text and won't reference it directly or explain any wording. Daily discussion posts and a reading or two a week. Take at your discretion, but was also a digestible class if you like discussion, as most of your knowledge will come from meeting 1:1 or from other students. He's down to talk about pretty much anything and really does just want you to learn from his class! Class breakdown: pair oral presentation 8 page paper on whatever you want daily discussion posts (250 words minimum)
