Spring 2024 - AMAZING Professor!! Course readings were always something to look forward to as they were well-chosen and entertaining. He was also enthusiastic in his lectures which made paying attention and learning fun as a student. Class was something to look forward to every week. Assignments were fun to complete as they required creative writing and expanding on the plays read. I would 100% take another class with him.
