Actual Class: English 91c He isn't amazing, but he isn't terrible. This class wasn't that great to me, and in my opinion, a lot of the work fell on the shoulders of the TA's as the professor didn't do much other than give us a brief biography of each of the authors and point out a few passages he thought were interesting.

Winter 2026 - I loved taking this class. Professor Watson has so much energy and passion that it's hard not to love his class. The class was not hard as long as you kept up with the reading and payed attention in lecture (I got 99% on both the midterm and final with minimal studying). The papers can be tough, but you have a short one to accustom to the writing style they want before a longer paper. Just go to office hours to ask for help and advice and you'll be fine (Shoutout Ren! Best TA).
