Czech Short Stories |
| Course Department: | CUFA LIT 326 |
| Instructor: | Clarice Cloutier |
| Instruction Language: | English |
| Comments: | My favorite class, Clarice was perfect. The class was early but she easily kept us awake and alert, always bringing videos or music on the current subject to keep us actively listening. Great subject material too, I learned a lot about Czech culture |
| Credit Transfer Issues: | Don't think so |
| Course Name/Rating: |
Circulating within the Modern Cinematic Image |
| Course Department: | CUFA F 346 |
| Instructor: | Erik Roraback |
| Instruction Language: | English |
| Comments: | This class was horrible. Roraback loves the sound of his own voice and letting you know that he's had an extensive education. Did you know he went to Cambridge? His class does, he reminded us enough. On top of that, the man simply cannot teach. I had more work for this class than any other and took nothing away |
| Credit Transfer Issues: | Not sure yet |
