A great course by a great prof who actually teaches critical thinking, close reading and all those other skills we're supposed to learn but no one else bothers to teach.

Comment:

Amazing class with a prof who really teaches and values critical thinking and is engaged with her subject. Not a course for students who don't care about literature and film.

Comment:

I took her Disney course. It changed the way I look at all films and literature. I wish I had found her before my last year and skipped all the other Tufts English Dept courses where the professors don't want students to learn to think critically at all. As of 2008 Sarah King is still teaching this course in Summer School. It's awesome!!

Comment:

I had her for Toni Morrison. I don't recommend taking a class solely about one author to begin with. The dullness and repetition of Morrison's texts, combined with Prof. King's rather snide attitude toward the vast majority of the population was a bad mix.
