This class is really fair if you read and pay attention in lecture. The lectures bring up some interesting points that are useful on papers and attendance is basically required to do well on the final. Professor Fishman is a super nice person too. Would definitely recommend.

This class was Comparative Literature and the only time we compared literature was the last paper due on the last day. I cannot tell you what the goal of the class was. You should do the readings for the final but you can also just not show up and be fine. Complained about attending class constantly and only listened to her honors students. 0/10

kind of annoying clsss but very passionate about her classes. lots of reading

Bad teacher, didn't learn anything in this class. HARD to pay attention to her boring lecture. She got salty that nobody attended her lecture anymore towards the end of the quarter so she made the final picture ID's of picture from lecture.

Overall she's a pretty good professor; not necessarily someone you would hate. You do learn things from her lectures that can not be found in the books, however she does summarize certain parts in lecture. Lecture is slow. It's a bit of reading but nothing that can't be managed. I wouldn't recommend this class with another reading-heavy class.

She's just so kind. She's probably the most caring teacher I've met for my whole school time. I am now taking Comparative Literaure 30A with her and I really felt that my reading skills are improving.

Amazing classics professor. She's really sweet and funny, and makes class a joy every day. Sometimes she struggles with technology, but the content is always good and she really gives context to the books you read. Don't listen to the other reviews, if you pay attention during lecture you WILL learn things you won't from the books.

Terrible professor. Her lectures consist of summaries of the book. She prolongs the lecture and doesn't add any meaningful knowledge to what we already know of the book.

I've never missed a class ever since 1st grade, until taking her class. I stopped going to lectures since the third week. There's just no point of wasting 75 minutes listening to her repeating scenes in the readings SLOWLY, going to the library and reading by yourself is a much more efficient choice. If you just wanna fill up your GE, think twice.

I love going to lecture and I never miss class. So it's saying a lot when I say that I HATED listening to Prof. Fishman's lectures. She was awful. Tests were more difficult than she made them seem. Don't take this class.

The topic was interesting,and she had outlines that were very helpful. There is a good amount of reading, but it was interesting. You will do fine if you do the reading.
