This class is not great for individuals who do not like A LOT of reading. Overall, I found the workload to be unmanageable, the lectures were very unclear--the professor does not ask students questions and lectures for the entire time. His exams are a strain and they're in person. If you really like Shakespeare and have taken classes prior to this, definitely take it--this course is interesting but very challenging to understand and hard to receive an A.

There's a reason Watson is highly awarded and a department favorite. He's an entertaining, funny lecturer and a genuinely pleasant and helpful person. The content moves at just the right pace and the essay prompts give just enough guidance without being constricting. Highly recommend this class.
