Daniel Brayton

Daniel Brayton is great, gives his lectures in a pretty dramatic fashion. True academic, lets put it at that. Most lectures felt like Ted Talks, really engaging. If you enjoy reading, this course is for you, not a lot of work besides that

I took this course as an ES cognate and really enjoyed it! Professor Brayton is definitely passionate about maritime literature and culture and this made the class fun and interesting despite the sometimes difficult readings. It's a literature class so obviously is reading/paper heavy but there is a wide variety of texts that I really enjoyed and while professor Brayton is a tough grader he is very helpful and will improve your writing greatly.

I had a great time in this course. Dan is an incredibly engaging and knowledgeable professor, and I learned a lot about writing and reading. Would 100% take again - probably my favorite course I've ever taken.
