Spring is one of my favorite professors at Middlebury and I suggest that everyone should take at least one class with her. She engages with not only the class work enthusiastically but also with the students.
I struggled with the course mostly because of the Professor. He was not engaging with the content and left majority of the students confused about what was expected from us. When we asked for clarifications on assignments or discussion questions, he was never direct with what he wanted.
Prof. Berg is extremely enthusiastic about Shakespeare's works, which makes him an ideal teacher for the subject. However, he sometimes seems not to understand that his students lack the same familiarity with the plays. There were 2 quizzes per week where you had to remember who said specific lines, where characters entered onstage, etc. This never got easier to do as the semester went on. In addition, each student had to memorize a passage (~30 lines) of one of the plays and perform it the week we read that play. Regardless, this class is very interesting if you like Shakespeare.
