Professor Powell was a sweet man, he helped a lot during papers (one 8 page and one 4). His lectures were unclear and fragmented, and class was often tedious. 2000 pages is WAY too much to read for one quarter and it was quite boring. Nice teacher, but wouldn't recommend the class.

definitly a hard class, but the professor was very helpful and nice. very interesting topic, he really knows his stuff.

Class was VERY unlcear. Ridiculous amount of reading and material without an emphasis on what's really important. Although there are some interesting facts issues covered, the midterm was nit picky and had almost nothing to do with what was covered.

interesting class. readings aren't too bad. just be sure to go to lecture and take notes. discuss material in a group before exams and you'll do fine.

The class was very disappointing. Even though the lectures were power point the class was not well organized. The grading was slow and tedious. There was no clear focus for the class. The Professor was not very helpful or willing to discuss material.

The reading = 1600+ pgs: 4 books @ 400+ pgs each, NOT 250. The reading is tedious, rather boring. Lectures w/ PowerPoint. Took 5+ wks to turn back our first papers! The worst part was the reading; far too heavy for 10 wks, especially if you take other Lit. classes. The story is repetitive, the translation dry. Very disappointing class.
