The class was overall pretty easy. You really only need to do the readings he assigns and be ready to discuss, though otherwise, very easy and few papers throughout the semester. However, be ready to sit in awkward silence at times.
Baldridge was super passionate about lit, but I found his lectures to be kind of boring and was surprised to see almost every class period go by without a single person talking besides him. I had gone into the class thinking it was going to be more discussion-based, but even in the discussion sections it seemed like he did the vast majority of the talking. I wish we had done more collaborative activities or group projects or discussions so we could engage with the material more.

I didn't have a great experience in this class, but I think a lot of the issues I had with it were informed by it being over Zoom during the height of on-campus restrictions. Prof. W (I can't enter her full name because apparently it's profane) clearly didn't like teaching from her home, and that came across in her lecturing style. She depended on breakout rooms for the majority of class time, popping in and out, and I found she had a habit of posing questions directly to myself or to classmates, then immediately leaving before we were able to respond, giving the impression that she didn't value our input. I was also dissatisfied with the quality of feedback on some of my assignments. On the whole, I don't think I got a fully fair shot at seeing Prof W's ability to teach. The material we worked with was great, and the zombie unit she incorporated was fun; it was a bad course to have online.
