ENGL 3830

Best class ever.

this is one of the better of the 380s. A necessary course if you are an English major, and pretty fun otherwise. The discussion section that meets twice weekly can be a bit frustrating, but the discussions are pretty interesting. The syllabus is pretty solid and interesting.

Great class, basically what you've already heard about it. Lectures were not as great as I've heard, but definitely more enjoyable than most. The reading load, especially the novels, is pretty intensive and somewhat difficult to accomplish sometimes. But overall, a great class, especially for a required one.

One of the most valuable courses I've taken at UVA. They are a dynanamic teaching duo. They taught me how to read all over again & this class has shed light on so many others that I've taken in other departments.

I loved this class. Despite a fair amount of reading, Cushman and Levenson make everything worthwhile. Also, Shaun Cullen was one of the best TA's I have had so far as an English major. He is not the easiest grader, but he is open to many ideas, and I believe that everyone in our disucssion got at least a B+ or higher

This was a great class and confirmed my decision to become an English major.

Megan is extremely passionate about the material we read and about hearing our comments. She is by far the best TA I have had at this school. If you're taking this class and not even an English major make sure to be in her discussion...there is never a moment she won;t have something interesting to say! Love her!

Both Levenson and Cushman are scary smart, lectures are both engaging and the reading selection is interesting. There is a lot to read, but it is worth it. I didn't know that much about modernism before this class, but it is a really relevant and interesting literary time period to study. Brandon is an awesome TA, extremely helpful in office hours and always prepared. He's a good discussion leader too.

Levenson and Cushman are both very interesting lecturers who made the material fun to learn about. Despite this, I still disliked almost everything we read in the course: much of it was difficult to understand and fairly long. The course certainly taught me a lot about modernism, but I'm not sure I'd be interested in taking another modern lit class in the future.

This class was definately more interesting that ENGL 3820, and Cushman and Levenson are excellent lecturers. The reading can be extensive at times but it is manageable. In addition to that Megan was an excellent TA. She's very passionate and gave great feedback on papers. This course was a nice way to end the ENGL "History of Literatures in English" series.
