When I say get ready to read, I mean it. This class was more of a philosophy class than anything, and I put as much emphasis into that as possible. Professor Vagt is great, really tries to adapt her class to make it as best for her students as it can be. Practically gave us the midterm and final questions and if you do the readings, it's easy!

I struggled a lot in the beginning because it was a lot about philological concepts. The lectures have a lot of information, found it difficult to understand. I eventually got there by midterms; would recommend you ask questions.

Professor Vagt is passionate about the material and she wants you to succeed. You will build solid close reading / clit skills. She may seem a intimidating at first, BUT please go to office hours and talk to her because she's really sweet and will teach you a lot if you're intrigued.

Honestly I was quite lost throughout this class; however, the criteria is very straightforward. The reading is heavy and confusing, but her lectures are pretty clarifying. The professor essentially tells you the exact questions that will be on the midterm/ final and she offers guidance on your paper if you seek it. An easy A if you put in effort.

Amazing class. One final and one midterm that she pretty much gives you the questions for. One final paper. Easy A and great teacher

At least two readings every week that are pretty dense but she'll try to break them down during lecture! The topics she presented throughout the course were kind of hard to understand but if you ever expressed confusion she would do her best to explain! Her midterm and final exam are very easy. One final essay as well (not too difficult).

She's nice but her lectures are very confusing - especially at the start. The language barrier does not help either. If you ask questions, she will answer and - she does want you to succeed, but the texts are difficult. The midterms and finals are ridiculously easy though. Final paper is very vague in instructions and much more difficult.

Class was confusing but professor is super kind. She genuinely cares about students and will give you good feedback if you ask her for help. There were def times when the readings/assignments confused me... but she was helpful during office hours.

There is weekly homework, but it is graded on a turn in/not turn in basis so do not worry about the amount! It is pretty confusing but grading is designed for everyone to do well. Not like other CLIT classes, attendance is mandatory, but she is pretty interesting. This class is meant to be confusing and it is!

this class was probably the worst class I've sat through since being here. I could see how it could be interesting to others but not what I was expecting for a comparative literature class. Hard to stay engaged and she has a hard time with tech. seems like she cares and is nice but just make sure ya'll know what you're getting into.

Great professor, highly recommend. Participation 25% with iclicker, which was a bit annoying, but lectures were fascinating and it was worth it. Also gave extra credit opportunities with discussion posts. 37.5% final paper and 37.5% final, but the final got cancelled with the TA strike (this was fall 2022) and she gave everyone an A on it.

Prof Vagt's class is awesome because she has material to provide if you want to get in depth but it seemed also the people who weren't super into c lit didn't struggle to complete the course. she provided both online and synchronous lectures for the split quarter which was great. gives a lot of constructive feedback. definitely recommend!
