Professor Shideler has been my favorite professor at UCLA so far. This Fiat Lux is super interesting and straightforward. Every week we met to read and talk about poems from a PDF he provided for us. The only assignments are three poems or one page poetry analyses. As long as you turn them in you pass. Shideler was very funny and knowledgeable about the poetry we talked about, especially more graphic poems. I learned so much and will dearly miss it.
