he was hard to understand and not very interesting. discussions were far more valuable than lecture and tests were mostly fair.

He's ridiculous! This is by far the only class & professor where I could rate "very poor" on every single question on the instructor's evaluation. He never cares about students' comments. In addition to his thick accent, he doesn't speak clearly or loudly enough for everybody to hear. The midterm was curved...probably b/c no one did well.

If you can get past his use of German versions of words and his thick German accent, as well as the fact that he invents the syllabus as he goes along and you're genuinely interested in the literature, this is an okay class. The tests and gradings are fair and the TA's are really helpful.

Worst professor I have had at this school. You literally can't understand what he says because he has such a thick accent. He is not approachable and gets irritated with questions asked in class. He doesn't really follow the topic of the class, but instead just does his own thing as far as what he teaches. If I had the luxury I would drop the class

Brilliant scholar. Amazing mind. Wonderful hair.

Amazing professor. At first, you don't quite understand him or where he's going with all this. But as the weeks go on, you're just blown away by the implications of what he's teaching about language, the media, and the medium. So awesome. I HIGHLY recommend him.

This class was really hard. The reading was extremely complicated. The lectures were not very organized, since most of the time we were about two weeks behind. Maybe ok for grad students.
