So, I have another lit class to knock out. Never taken one here. Which one is the least repulsive? I'm not retarded but I'm not a fan of forced reading. Any suggestions for class/teacher?

I'm sort of a fan of Salmons (had him for Eng20) but how's his lit teaching?

thanks.

106 with Trent Watts is good.

If you take American Lit post-Civil War with Watts all you have to do is know the material (or read the Cliff notes) and get him to like you.

Watts has you read it, and discuss it in class. The material has been pretty damn good this semester. Tests are 10 identifications (he gives you a quote, you name the author, work, and significance in said work) and 1 essay (out of a possible 3-4 choices). Not bad at all. No papers or anything. Just 3 tests and attendance for grades.
