[ENGL V3275] Modern American Fiction

This was his first semester at Columbia from Rutgers, where he taught small discussion classes, and spent a great deal of time in this class apologizing incessantly for not having a clue how to teach large lectures. He seemed to have mixed feelings about his students, and couldn't understand why discussions didnt flow in a room of 150 students. His lectures were never centered on the books as a whole, but often detailed descriptions of obscure post-modern critics' interpretations of the books. The class was dull, the books were great. I would NOT recommend taking a lecture with him for his insight.
