Spring 2024 - Professor Clark integrates a wide variety of cultural and historical knowledge into her presentations, which enhance the understanding of material she assigns us to read. She offered extra credit for going to the Hammer Museum performances and was one of the most accommodating teachers I had during the encampment, some violence, and the strikes, with clear and timely communication about changes, acknowledging the burden of the class when TAs had to go, and continuing optional lectures, which deserves my full respect. Listening to her content tapped me back into the joy of learning literature, and it brought me a new perspective in the Japanese lens, which had lots of gems I'd heard of but never sat down to find. She changed her midterm to a paper and made the last couple weeks of the class optional. Her workload was light, with one weekly response to the reading/media, but she never posted her slides, which I understand was the incentive to go to class at the beginning, though this changes after the strikes when she used Zoom as a hybrid tool. I don't know if she'll do that next quarter. Experienced and fair professor. Easy class. I would take again.
