There is decidely a difference between classes like
American Lit and
Post-modern perspectives on Irish film and literature
where the latter comes latter in your college career and you would naturally be inclined to think that english is cake early on. I don't know if that is the case though
even within those boundaries there were still easier and harder professors
usually the difference was that harder ones asked for more reading and longer, more frequent papers
I take classes from teachers I like, regardless of the class load. English is more of a hobby for me, and I find things that challenge me to be entertaining so I seek them out. However, most English professors that I have had decide to spend their time discussing things that are completely irrelevant and I find my time is better spent outside of the classroom reading the book and or writing whatever essays they have assigned.
How far behind am I if I just now got Pride and Prejudice and Zombies?
how you should catch up with everyone else: sell it and buy pride and prejudice
No, unless the version of Pride and Prejudice has something better than a painting of ninjas surrounding a girl holding a katana inside
tell me what you think of Max Brook's magnum opus World War Z please. Afterwards, I'd like to hear what you think of George R. R. Martin'sA Song of Ice and Fire
World War Z was amazing
Can't find A Song of Ice and Fire anywhere, then again that is the downside of living in an bass-ackwards hick town in between PA and MD
my american lit 2 class was hard because the professor was tough but also amazing
my american lit 1 class was easy because the 'professor' doesnt even have a ph.d. why am i calling you professor also you have open book exams what the hell is wrong with you

i mean this in the nicest way
you are not impressing anyone, you are bragging
but i totally agree that professors who waste time on bullshit are silly geese and should be slapped around with a mackerel
i also had to read this all in about a day and we wouldnt stop discussing it even when we were much farther along
so
you are saying that you only really spent a day on blake, with other discussions later
that is not very much dude
i think you should give him another shot, perhaps with someone who is a little more hard core about it
my teacher was a blake scholar who wrote like five books on the dude, she knew what was up and got us all really psyched about him
no i mean
i had to read all of that in a day
then we discussed it for several weeks afterward, always with the book open in front of us talking about specific passages.
my teacher hated blake as much as i do
i have no regrets
she also doesn't like oscar wilde like me
jesus the importance of being earnest was so bad
i know it's probably not performed as such, but it just seems like every witticism has this big gigantic wink associated with it

I have a love/hate relationship with professors who do things like that. On one hand, it is nice to not have to study. On the other hand, I'd like to actually have an intelligent discourse about the subject matter rather than listen to what infinitely adorable thing the professor's child did that day.

ok yeah i would punch that dude so hard
actually no, i would drop the class, i did that once with a guy who was utterly useless
it was a creative writing class
my husband took his class later but couldn't transfer out and ended up writing a poem about the professor being killed by a cheetah
my american lit 2 class was hard because the professor was tough but also amazing
my american lit 1 class was easy because the 'professor' doesnt even have a ph.d. why am i calling you professor also you have open book exams what the hell is wrong with you
my american lit 2 was lame as shit because the professor built the reading selection around Invisible Man cause he wrote a book on it or something
yes, african american literature is important but this is a survey course and american literature consists of other things

goddamn it
this is why i disliked my intro to film survey class
there were 16 films
9 of them were hitchcock
okay yes he is important
but really
more than half the films?
i think there are other fitting examples of mise en scene and shit lady

pip you would have to get in line behind me because jane austen is maybe the most overrated person of all time
even within those boundaries there were still easier and harder professors

besides maybe kevan
yeah okay kevan is the least dickish

ice and fire is awesome
the far side hates it because it is misogynistic
which is the most baffling argument i've ever seen
oh no women in a medieval setting are being ill-treated
what a horrible message to send to people today
also the far side had some other silly goose arguments for why it's bad
it is not fine literature
but damn if it isn't entertaining
my american lit 2 was lame as shit because the professor built the reading selection around Invisible Man cause he wrote a book on it or something

english poli sci double major / film minor
and yes
as one of my professors said, "american literature... when will it start?"

i would crap into that teacher's mouth
it started with poe
everything before him is
irrelevant
but you are totally correct
just show vertigo or north by northwest and move along
poe, really
i guess
his poetry is pretty meh though, aside from the raven
his short stories rock
I think I already know quite a bit about the history of art, thanks
I would've beaten them to death then and there
