Reviews of professor Misha Teramura

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He knows a lot about his topic and relates a lot of history with the reading. He's very easy to get in touch with but gives A LOT of readings. Most of them are poems but some are very long plays/"Books". Also suggested to the class during a lecture to LITERALLY cut one of our textbooks in half so it wouldn't be heavy for us.

Misha is an amazing prof! You can tell he cares very much about his content and his students. He puts a lot of works on the syllabus but its definitely just because he's so excited about the course. As long as you generally know what's going on in them you'll be fine. I would definitely take another one of his classes.

Has some of the most interesting lectures I've ever been to. Always manages to ground why a text was important at publication and why it's still important now. Obviously very passionate about what he teaches. You'll have to read pretty dense material every week, but his lectures make it very worth it.

Even though the context in each lecture may feel very overwhelming, Prof. Teramura makes sure to incorporate it with his actual analysis of the texts. In addition, he's extremely accomodating and responsive to emails by students. I couldn't highly recommend him enough for anyone taking any of his classes.
