He is very, very passionate about what he is teaching and also very knowledgeable. His discussions are engaging and he's also funny and a very chill guy. He brought in donuts one time and bought us all coffee at Joe's another time because we were acting sleepy in class. He's a good teacher for someone who really wants to participate and he values this highly. He brings a unique approach to lit hum by having us listen to parts of the texts in their original languages to hear what they sound like or having us act out scenes from the books. The comments the other reviews have made about grading are true, it is rather vague. However, the essays are not too hard once you understand what he's looking for which he's always willing to help with in office hours. He once told me that the key to getting an A on his papers is close reading and making an arguable point. Which I found to be true, I went from a B- on the first paper to an A- on the second one. It's better to over-do it on the close reading than under-do it in his class. He also has creative project options for people who wants to interact with the texts more creatively than a paper. I really enjoyed my Lit Hum experience with him and would highly recommend him for those who are super excited for this course and want a professor who will match that level of enthusiasm.
