Most of the time you just listen to idiotic students rattle about their idiotic ideas.

I really enjoyed this mixed mode course. The website is excellent; it explains the readings in much depth. You won't miss much without the lectures. =) Good site, good TA, good prof.

Comment:

Don't get too enthusiastic. If you're a serious student that's concerned with professionalism and integrity, and doesn't like dilettantism, then make sure you find another prof. If you're a dabbler, then he's the one.

He IS a damn pioneer! I was SO impressed with that Mixed-mode Victorian Lit course! Also quite delightful in lectures. Tone of voice, word choice, insights, and, of course, appearance. You won't be disappointed.

Comment:

Encourages independent thought and discussion by staying quiet a lot of times. When he does say something it's either really enlightening, or it confuses you more, it's 50/50 really. But he IS a really sweet man. Likes opera, so can't be bad at all.

Really sweet man. This is mixed mode course is involving a fantastic website on Victorian literature and culture. There's just one meeting per week that is just a discussion of the readings and their associated online module. You'll like the course a lot.
