I could not understand the professor during lectures. It was really confusing what information I should actually know. For me, there was too much reading. I didn't particularly enjoy the topics either.

I took this class because I already love Kafka and wouldn't recommend if you don't. Attend lectures, take notes, study for exams, and do the readings! Kittler is very passionate and silly. Tested on pretty specific things in an in class midterm and in class final.

Incredibly nice guy. Insanely knowledgeable and passionate about Kafka. Super interesting to talk to during office hours. Lectures can be boring if you aren't into the material. Class is easy, just do the readings, most of them are just short stories. I would recommend this course and also urge you to talk to him outside of lecture, he's awesome.

Does not offer any very unique/interesting takes on Kafka and lectures are very boring. Readings are basic. Not worth it.

This class was easy as long as you read the material. I attended one lecture because his slides were useless, but I still passed the class. If you have a good TA it will make the class a lot easier.

It's difficult to understand anything he says because he mumbles everything and gets irritable with questions, but the class itself isn't too hard if you read the material. You might do better if you're interesting in the material. He also spends too much time on things irrelevant to the course
