I don't know what the heck happened in the other reviewers' classes that they would give this guy a bad evaluation. He is an incredibly sweet, adorable man, who is interesting, somewhat humorous, helpful and welcoming. I wish I had gone to his office hours earlier in the lecture, we had an amazing time together. He's very laid back, sometimes lets you turn in your papers after the due date without caring or penalizing, his lectures are a perfect mix of abstract and concrete thoughts, and I didn't find his tests and papers that hard or complicated. It was 2 short papers, one long one and two tests. If you have an issue with reading looooooong novels, however, don't take this class. Victorian novels are long - Middlemarch is a good 600+ pages.

Winter 2024 - I once heard someone describe this Professor as “very forgiving,” to which I would agree with this statement. He changed our grades after the quarter had ended, and I know in a past class at least he also has dropped the lowest quiz grade (in his classes there are typically 5 quizzes total with 5 questions each). He is a little critical of essays, so if you’re not a strong analytical writer like me then be careful taking this class. But to continue the things that I liked about the class and the professor is that I think his lectures are very interesting and deep. In total for this class I wrote 2 essays, took 5 quizzes, and had no midterm or final.
