Comment:
Eh. Found his class easier to sleep through than learn from. He made Viking literature even more boring than it was to begin with, and somehow made fantasy and sci-fi boring as well. To be fair, I think he took on too much material in too little time, but... eh.

Comment:
Found him to be **** and his class was simply not stimulating. No discussion -- he basically lectured, with occasional screams -- I was excited to take the class but after a few sessions I dreaded it b/c his style and focus on one interpretation made it difficult to get anything out of the readings.

Just so you know, he's gotten a lot easier in the past few years (which may be a good or a bad thing). Still a wonderful professor overall.

Difficult, but worth the effort. 8 years later, I still remember Tasso, and continue to find military history interesting.
