Matthew Walker

Excellent Class. Professor Walker is one of the most caring and passionate professors at Midd. He takes the time to teach the class with engaging lectures and interesting material. Watching movies is a core component that is time consuming but enjoyable. The course is a great groundwork of Russian culture for anyone interested in the topic.

I added this class almost two weeks into the semester and Professor Walker was very accommodating in terms of missed quizzes, readings, and films we had to watch. Prof. Walker told us he "front-loaded" the class, so at no point later in the semester did I feel behind or lost. The readings are not too lengthy, so they can be done with little effort. The same goes for the films we have to watch. Even if you happen to not do the readings for a specific day, you won't need to stress because he is not a fan of cold calling.

This is the second class I've taken with Professor Walker. He is a very interesting teacher and person. He is understanding and reasonable. Overall very easy grading. The readings were not bad at all. Great classroom discussions. Would recommend
