Eric Jacobson
JWST
Interesting topic, and Mr. Jacobson is clearly passionate and genuinely interested in critical theory. The topic, however, is far too broad to be covered in a single semester. The course being 3 hours at night once a week didn't help either, with lectures often becoming monotone and difficult to follow. Some very interesting readings.
Can’t say I’ve ever had a class like this since. Jacobson is a total beast. Hannah Arendt? Yes, please. Went snowshoeing. Character-building class. It was a deep dive into a philosophical question with a philosophical guy — and some philosophical try hards sprinkled in. But, overall, I became a better writer. We lived, we laughed, we loved.
I really enjoyed taking the class because it was a very unique class that Middlebury does not usually offer. Professor Jacobson was incredibly passionate about the topics he taught and it showed when he gave lectures. Midd should give him more classes to teach!!!
