Slavic Languages and Literature

Very knowledgeable of the texts, befitting the head of the Lit Hum "program." Lectures are great -- enlightening, often funny, and delivered with an infectious enthusiasm. Mercifully, she also has a sensitive bullshit-detector (an essential for core classes) and will politely point out nonsense for what it is. Paper comments are very helpful. Added texts: "King Lear" & "The Brothers Karamazov." Great class, but she's a harsh grader, there have been semester where the entire class went 'A'-less.
