Tufts University: ENG083 - Un-American Activities - English - Professor ratings, reviews and much more | JumboAccessReview:
Professor Litvak, though a fairly good lecturer, spent the first three weeks of class essentially discussing the same ideas over and over. He encouraged class involvement, but tended to want to stick to his own ideas and own views, rather than listen to the opinions of others. Professor was not readily available outside of class, as he traveled often, but it was possible to get a response by email in a couple of days. This is a class that would be more beneficial for History majors and American Studies majors than it is for English or Film Studies majors.
Workload:
Large reading assignments were often split in half, but still amounted to about 300-350 pages per week, including small articles and large novels. Additionally, at least once per week, there was a film screening--some films were interesting and engaging, like On The Waterfront, while others were grainy and difficult to understand documentaries about the McCarthy era.
