This class was so incredibly fun. I Took it just because it was interesting, and genuinely enjoyed going to lectures. I would happily take another class from him, but he only has had Grad seminars since. Each lecture was hilarious. I took my friends to class because it was actually so fun. My TA was amazing also, which helped. You should definitely do the readings, he calls on people in class because he learns everyone's names. But i cannot recommend this class enough. Take it even if you aren't an English major, like I did.

This class was super entertaining and the readings were actually interesting. Grossman is open to discussing things with students in and out of class and always makes sure everyone understands the content.

super open and clear

Professor Grossman is honestly the best. He is so incredibly helpful and encourages you to go to OH. I went a couple of times and it was great because he really gets a conversation going. In lecture, he is incredibly interesting to listen to. He begins each lecture with a mini thesis and then helps the class understand his argument. It is great. Sometimes he does get kinda confusing....but he will openly admit this and rewind to make sure everyone is caught up. He really cares about feedback and making the class catered to his students...Grading is heavily dependent on your TA though. (I had Crescent Rainwater...2/10 do not recommend) BUT if Professor Grossman likes you, he will intercede on your behalf.
