I enjoyed the books we read for the class, I enjoyed the lecture, just wish the TA had been as good as the professor because discussion section was awful. If you don't like taking tests, this is the class for you. Grades were based on two essays, one for the midterm and one for the final",

Lectures are extremely informative and yet still entertaining: he goes at a good pace, varying it at he goes to keep you on your toes. I loved the books we read. Like the person above I also found my TA arrogant (she is young). Prof Cook is THE best!!",

Lectures were not necessary but he would walk through the texts pointing out themes and symbols.  He was very funny at times as well.",
