Comment:
I took his 19th Century Russian Lit course, and honestly it might have been the best class I've taken at UVa. He's funny, articulate and really engages the class in wonderful discussions.

Russian is hard. Really hard. But Herman makes his classes fun and enjoyable and really a pleasure to go to. Pray for a good TA because your grade depends on it.

I cannot help sharing this comment: I heard Professor Herman?s lecture on Pushkin some fifteen years ago and I still remember that brilliant presentation. Read Russian Literature and learn from the best.

Comment:
I took a ton of classes with Professor Herman, he is as helpful with language as he is with literature, and is an incredibly engaging lecturer who fully involves the class, from those who are just taking it for the non-western perspectives requirement, to those who spend their free time reading russian lit. I joined the major because of him.

My favorite professor ever. Please do yourself a favor and take his class. He is a genius and I love the way he speaks about Tolstoy as though he is a personal friend. I truly loved everything about him and his class and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Really really funny. I usually didn't mind having to go to class on a Friday afternoon. Readings are interesting; mostly short stories so diverse amount of texts. Herman makes them all interesting.

One of the only classes i have ever actually looked forward to going to. Amazing lecture, very insightful but funny! Do yourself a favor and take any of his lit classes (in the language classes you only see him once a week)

Comment:
Professor Herman is a great lecturer - BUT, the RUSS 201 course is designed so that you see him for 50 minutes per week, and the TA for 150. I too (as was said in another comment) went into 201 in love with Russian, but that has been killed through too much lecturing in English and vocab lists.

I went into his class in love with Russian - the energy was sucked completely out of the material. Teaching style consisted of giving large quantities of vocabulary words, and giving quizzes on them.

Every time from the minute he steps in the class, you will feel his energy immediately. He always loves his stuff, loves teaching, and his students. Most respectful professor ever and will definitely become #1 expert in the field of Slavic literature.
