NOTE: I selected a random class as the class I took with these teacher wasn't listed. Boris is an interesting teacher and many students like him. However, I was personally underwhelmed by my experiences as his student. If you want an easy A, occasionally interesting lectures, vague paper requirements with overwhelmingly generous grades, then this class might be for you. The fact that he grades ridiculously easy is a large part of why students like his classes. But if you're serious about learning literature and having interesting and thought-provoking discussions on the subjects, look elsewhere.

This class was super wacky (Russ 128). I expected a deep-voiced red-october slow-talking sort of man and instead found a quiet voiced, high pitched prof. He knew many of the great writers personally and has a deep knowledge of the subject area, but is likely past his prime. He talks VERY slowly and can't hear very well. However, he DOES notice when students don't show up or aren't paying attention - he just doesn't say anything. Because of some absences, he ended up throwing the midterm at us early. I can't say I gave this class much effort. I missed at least four classes and turned in my papers below the page requirements. My '15 page' final paper was only 8 pages, but I still got an A in the class. Super tedious class, but if you can survive the lectures and do the requirements he seems to give you a nod in the gradebook.

A rather boring professor & lecturer, but an easy class to get an A. The plays we read were interesting, some were outright boring, some I didn't read at all. But if you just attend lectures, take notes, and do what you're asked, you'll get your A. She also dismissed class 20-30 minutes early almost all the time, so that was really nice. I'd rather take a class with somebody else, I'd only take another class with her if i absolutely had to.
