Winter 2024 - This class is very novel-based and essay-based. As long as you read the books and short stories and write the length-appropriate essay, you will get an A. Do not turn in work late. If you turn in 1 or 2 assignment late without an email letting him know, you will get a B/B+. Make sure you email him at least 12hrs if you are going to turn in late. Make sure you read the novel / stories because it is a discussion-based class and he will expect you to provide insight and specific plot information. Class was essentially 7 essays (1000 words), 1 final book review (1500-2000), and an evaluation with questions he ask you to answer. But, this was an easy class overall. He makes an effort to get to know you and understand where he can improve. He is funny with his comments and is quick to be devil advocate. he will also comment on all of your essays which was cute and informational. protip if you are taking this class, use goodreads for specific plot info and reviews.
