I really appreciated the tangents! Venturing into the world of the Russian Lit. minor was not an easy task for me, but the professor made the experience much more comfortable. As far as lectures go, well you're reading a novel, so there are man ways to interpret it. I didn't always agree with him, and I didn't take notes really, but I liked his insights, and when I expressed my own in the papers, he appreciated them as well. I liked the readings. The professor was passionate about everything...this is obvious if you visited him in his office. Overall, a really nice and well-informed guy. I'm taking Tolstoy with him in the Fall.

This was absolutely the best class I've had so far in UCLA. I loved all of the reading material (we read Tolstoy, Turgenev, Pushkin, etc..) and at first it seemed like alot, but once you actually start reading you won't be able to put the book down. It was after taking Russian 25 that I became more interested in Russian Literature. Take one of Professor Vroon's classes, it's good for you!
