• Very fun course for lovers of horror. There is a lot of reading but since I enjoy reading horror, I didn't find it too bad - listening to audio versions helps a lot. The reading quizzes were not too difficult (if you do the readings) and a lot of participation marks. So if you aren't interested in reading or participating, this course is not for you.
  I enjoyed the commentary on the horror genre, exploration of the history and subgenres, as well as background on many popular authors. Andrew McMurry is very passionate about horror and a very fun prof.

• I had ENGL 108G with Dr. Randall. Although class was super fun and the content was interesting, it lacked structure. The syllabus was constantly changing, and often I would end up doing readings that were not even relevant to lecture. The class consisted of 4 assignments worth 25% each - an essay, journal and the midterm and final. After our final I did not receive any grade, and still do not know my grade for my final assignment or journal. It still irks me since I got my course grade, but do not know why I exactly got that mark!! It was an easy course and pretty interesting, just wish it had more structure!

• super course content heavy. there was about 3 readings A WEEK that were quite long (once it was 9+ pages per reading) and they're quite complicated. other than that it was a really interesting and silly course would recommend if you have a chill term and like horror.

• LOVED this course. Lectures/discussions are really fun and engaging and I really liked most of the readings. Workload is also very reasonable.

• If you like horror and thrillers, this course is for you. Had it with Andrew McMurry and he was pretty awesome. We analyzed the whole horror genre as well as different tropes and themes. There were a lot of readings (as it is an English class) but all the readings were short stories and some even comics. The only long reading we had was of Stephen King's Pet Cemetery but we had the whole term to read it. Had a couple of essays and McMurry is a fair marker. Also had a couple of quizzes every couple of weeks based off of lecture content but nothing too extreme.
