Matthew Walker

Ok, my review is a little complicated. I loved reading Nabokov's writing, but we just went way too fast. Maybe that is the nature of an English class, but we were reading incredibly dense material, and close to 70+ pages per class. We would often not be able to talk about more than half of what we read, which became increasingly frustrating as the year went on. I love Matthew Walker, though. He is really funny, but maybe not the best professor, and he could kinda get all over the place and not really listen to students when they had something to say.

Professor Walker is in my opinion the best professor I have had thus far. Not only is his course incredibly well thought out and taylored through his expertise of the niche but you enjoy learning in his class. I was excited for the course everytime and it truly is informative in a way many courses lack.

This course was absolutely incredible. Professor Walker is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and overall a brilliant prof who got me extremely invested in the course material. There were two big papers, but other than that, only reading. There is a lot of reading in this class, but it is all extremely necessary and interesting. If presented with the opportunity, I cannot recommend this course more, even if you have no idea who Gogol is and are not very familiar with Russian Literature. This class was an absolute joy and I'm sad I can't take it again.
