Brett Millier
As other reviews have mentioned, you're expected to read about 140 pages for every class, sometimes a bit more and sometimes a bit less. You'll end up writing over 20 pages for this course on account of both essays and the discussion papers which is also a lot. That being said, the books are good and Millier (mee-yay) is very helpful in getting through the more difficult parts. Exams consist of literary term definitions and passage identification/analysis. If you aren't interested in the material. this course will feel like a slog, especially since only 4 weeks of the course aren't dedicated to novels, so I wouldn't just make this your LIT credit. But, I still really enjoyed the class and would recommend it and the professor.

Great class with a knowledgable and passionate teacher. Unsurprisingly, this course is very heavy in readings, and there are weekly discussion papers to accompany each reading. Very interesting, perspective-broadening class. Would take again!
Brett is lovely. She cares about her students and actually wants to help students with their writing. She is a tough grader but values improvement more than anything. She assigns a lot of reading but all of it is relevant and she is passionate about every book she teaches. The best part of her class is that she doesn't push class participation, and instead allows her students to spend time thinking about what they have read and form a mini response on it to turn into her biweekly.
