This class was a little bit all over the place, but it wasn't bad at all. Professor Makleff has so much passion and enthusiasm for the topics in the course, but it could feel random at times, and topics we learned one week might not come back in the rest of the course. I really enjoyed our final research project on a novel of our choosing, and I would definitely take a class with Professor Makleff again.

The description of the class was really interesting, but I wouldn't say that there was much of a common thread throughout the semester. Although the individual things we covered were generally interesting, I didn't really know what I was meant to be gaining from the course overall.

Prof. Makleff is a great guy who really is passionate about this course. Also as an advisor he really tries his best to keep the best interests of his students in mind. The class falls pretty flat though, and is really not engaging. Every class feels a little disorganized without a clear lesson or meaning, or even anything building up to a greater understanding of a subject
