Fall 2019 - This class was Sem 1 (Emerson). I thought this class was going to be very hard because of how much I had struggled with Emerson's writing before, but Colacurcio explained in such an elaborate way that I was able to finally understand his writing. Colacurcio is extremely knowledgable in this subject and this seminar highlighted all the information he possessed about Emerson's works. The reading is pretty heavy content-wise, but he analyzes and gives background info about it to help understand the text. Honestly the most intelligent professor I have ever had. He holds very accessible office hours and is always responsive over email. Also, he's pretty funny.

Professor Colacurcio is fantastic. I feel so lucky to have taken classes from him. He's the national (world?) authority on the subjects he teaches. The key to taking his class is to do the reading he's assigned before the accompanying lecture. He has incredible knowledge of the historical context of all of the material. It's just been such a privledge to study with him. Really, we're very fortunate to have him at UCLA. I wish I could take more classes from him. Classes taken: ENGL 166B ENGL 171A (now 166C) ENGL 254
