Most Helpful Review
Fall 2023 - My first quarter at UCLA was made that much better by taking a class with Professor Hanscom. Not only is he passionate about what he teaches, but extremely friendly and approachable. Going to his office hours is suggested, as he's willing to look over the group project or final paper before either are due. He'll happily let you know if you're headed in the right direction and offer advice/tips for proceeding. There's a decent amount of reading for this class, but you know what you're getting into by enrolling in any literature-based course. There are written assignments that coincide with each reading, along with presentations (at least once per quarter) and a final paper. You're made aware of this at the beginning and given ample time to prepare. English majors taking this as a "foreign literature in translation" course will likely find this to be light work!
