  • This course was really fun! Every week we engaged in some gothic work (movies, books, short stories) and completed short writings, in-class participation, and there was about one big project per unit. For me, it was
    a lot of fun to indulge in my passion for gothic media in an academic setting. Stacy Denton is such a kind and sweet prof. Her design of this course made it very enjoyable, and her flexibility in assignments was great for allowing students to include their own interests in their writing. She was also really flexible for due dates which is great for students who are in a busy term.

  • Bird course. The course was just being figured out so a lot of the assignments were simple and geared towards exploring potential directions for the class to take in the future and find new resources that could be worth studying in future terms. Arguably one of the best courses I've taken.
