Roger Russi

I absolutely loved this class. Professor Russi is so sweet and extremely accommodating. He also loves teaching the material. The Tuesday evening symposiums are extremely interesting and added so much depth to our readings, which were very well selected. If you do not like reading, you probably will not like this class as we read a book per week. However, the books are very interesting and generally not too long.

While this class initially seemed quite interesting, the course content and literature was not as engaging as I thought it would be. Professor Russi was a fun and engaging professor but the criteria and expectations for assignments was not very clear and oftentimes the assignment would receive contrarian feedback. Other than this Professor Russi made the class discussions to the best of his ability but sometimes the discussions would still be slightly boring and stagnant as most of the analysis was already provided in the books we are provided with. Finally the content is very Euro-Centric and could do with being broadened to a more global reach.

Professor Russi is very passionate about fairy tales. The lectures can be boring, but he tries to lighten the mood. The stories are overall interesting. He is an easy grader for reader responses, but not for papers.
