Fall 2023 - I really liked Professor Seltzer's lectures and found this course exciting and enjoyable overall. His assigned readings were fantastic and introduced me to many new favorite novels that I'd previously been unaware of. He doesn't give out an A easily on papers but bumps your final grade up at the end of the quarter. This course was a lot of reading, but I genuinely enjoyed every novel assigned. Attendance definitely matters in order to grasp the themes and significant moments that the professor wants you to analyze in your papers. The papers are kept short (3 pages) as the professor is considerate of students' workloads and busy schedules with other classes. The professor is very kind and encouraging in office hours as well. I really appreciated Professor Seltzer's thoughtfulness and philosophical approach and would recommend him to others!
