His lectures weren't very engaging and he has a tendency to kind of drone on. His exams weren't too difficult and he's a fair grader. You don't need to do all the readings but you do need to take notes in class.

This course is discussion heavy. The class format is almost entirely discussion based. Although it is a literature class the reading is not exhaustive. Papers are important but not frequent. Sometimes discussions can drag on but mostly they are interesting.

This course was an overview of several important schools of literary theory and taught me a lot about the ways in which people apply philosophy, politics, sociology, linguistics and other disciplines to understanding literature. Mostly theoretical readings, a few literary texts, including 2 Shakespeare plays, to apply the theories to -- those should be read, but most of the theory reading is less important, because the professor explains it in class. The course is centered around several terms with definitions in each school and culminates in an exam on them, so you'll really have to study those. There are several quizlets online from previous course participants with which to do so.
