Professor Cohen loves what he does. Sometimes the discussions would go all over the place, but he is very passionate, accommodating, and helpful. I think that I would take a class with him again if the opportunity arose.

There are weekly reflections that are 1-2 pages every week, and 3 papers total. The first one is a 5-6 page paper on one of the stories read in the first half, the second is a 11-12 page comparison/contrast of 2 short stories. The last one is the 'final,' also 5-6 pages, which he gives a ton of prompts that you can choose from. He's a great lecturer with really cool insights (if a bit scattered at times), so I'd recommend doing the readings, but you can definitely get away only doing half of them.

Robert Cohen is one of Middlebury's best. If you have the chance to take this class, you should. I am not an English major and I am not planning to be one, but this course if my favorite at Middlebury so far. Robert Cohen is an amazing lecturer. The workload for this classes very manageable and the weekly reflection papers take up to an hour at most. Almost all of the stories he chooses for the class to read are phenomenal. I found that a lot of these stories made me reflect on my own life experiences, and I believe that I left this class as a different person than I came in as.
