I think Lippit thrives in small-class environments. Like others have said, he is soft-spoken, but during discussions, he will give deep feedback and real comments instead of just saying \305gAlright, that was very interesting\305c\305h and move on. He knows his stuff down to the T, so you can ask or talk to him about anything regarding the material. His choice of films and novels will not bore you, so look forward to fun and excitement. I\305fm not particularly a hardcore bookworm, but every single work I\305fve had to read for the class, I chopped through in one sitting (by choice!) He grades at a fair to slightly difficult level, so as long as you describe things to your best ability and include lots of details on the tests, all should be fine.
