The Russian Pop Culture class was a solid class that was well directed by Professor MacFadyen who has a very lively personality. After he covers the political base of the past 20 years he provides more detail into the cultural changes in various forms of arts, music, and movies that entertain the lives of Russians daily. I really took in alot of applicable information from just this one class and thoroughly enjoyed writing the two necessary papers. He will bring about so many different aspects of the life in Russia that anyone who takes this class will enjoy their time. Also a very understanding paper grader, if you show that you did your research he will reward you with an A.
