Wonderful teacher and terrific class, I had only a vague notion about literature and the big questions it asks when I started this course and now I still see I'm only beginning, but my thinking is forever changed.

Wonderfully illuminating course. It changed the way I think about the world. After taking the course, everything aesthetic seemed more engaging, complex, and analyzeable. Landy and his co-teacher, Lanier Anderson, are lovely both individually and together.

Joshua Landy is a wonderful professor. Unfortanetly, his recent praise has made him a wee bit arrogant, with a tendancy to swagger.

Comment:

Landy is probably the most charismatic professor I've ever had. He's funny in a witty, self-deprecating kind of way, and seems genuinely interested in what students have to say. This makes him very approachable. He's also obviously very smart, and his views on the interaction of philosophy and literature are interesting.

Where do I start?.. Prof. Landy is wonderful in so many ways, and I sincerely hope that, just because I find him extremely attractive, it won't minimize his professionalism, his excellent teaching, his great scholarship, or the fact that he's just a wonderful human being. Unfortunately, I have to stress again: he is HOT!
