I took Violence in Cultural Theory and Literature. It was a tough course with some serious reading. We started with Aristotle's Poetics, did excerpts from Nietzsche, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau and Kierkegaard, and many other challenging and lengthy works.
You don't realize how much you've learned until the second week of your next English class. I sat in Professor Maniquis' class for 10 weeks and filled an entire composition book, attempting to capture just the bullet points of what he said. He just stands at the front of the room and talks... for two hours straight. If you need presentations or chalkboard notes, this is not the professor for you. Sometimes his lectures seem tangential, and it's tempting to put down the pen, but he always brings it back around, and you will regret not having written down what he was saying, regardless of how tangential it seemed at the time. He can also come off as conceited and pedantic, but I gladly excuse minor coarseness of personality in light of the incredible amount of information he is capable of imparting.
I would highly recommend him to anyone, but with the warning that you must be prepared to dedicate yourself to the class.
