    "comment": "Josh is an awesome prof! His class is very simple, the readings are straight forward, and the quizzes are easy if you do the readings and pay attention. This is a literature course, so expect quite a bit of reading, but I was shocked at how little writing there was for this class. Only one mid-term paper (1 page) and a final paper (2 pages).",
