Benjamin Graves
ENGL
This course has by far been one of my favorite classes at Midd. The readings are current, and the discussions they fostered were always engaging. Graves is also such a great teacher that listens to students and makes it feel like a safe space to participate.
I love Graves, as an English major most students were there for distribution requirements however still an enjoyable class. Graves is very calm and so kind, truly a wonderful professor who grades not harshly with very interesting texts and open ended essay options
I really loved this class. I found Graves to be engaging and good at facilitating discussion. He is a very easy grader and dropped on of our three papers for the semester. Along with the three papers we had to do a close reading in class, which was also very easy and chill. The books he picks are really great and fun easy reads. He'll actively adjust the syllabus if he feels he assigned too much reading. A lot of the books don't really connect to media or media theory but they are great reads and discussion is engaging. Once you get past the first few classes, he really drops the whole media theory ideas. This was a great, chill class and I am taking a class with him again next semester.
