This class requires you to read some very interesting literature. Whatever your opinion on the professor, you have the oppertunity to read something atypical that's actually rewarding and interesting. The discussion section I had (with my TA Posner) was one of the most engaging and interesting English sections I've had here at UCLA. Professor Mufti is an intelligent man, though honestly, while his points are interesting, he repeats them about seven times and after the third time you're drowsy. However, I enjoyed this class, and it wasn't obnoxiously challenging. The papers are hard to tackle if you're not good with essays but that's to be expected with any CompLit class.
