Professor Parker is brilliant, thoughtful, and hilarious. You need to take a class with him. Course material was interesting; if you're into renaissance and drama, you'll like this class. If you don't like plays, maybe reconsider because that's all you read, which might be obvious from the course name. 2 essays, 1 midterm, 1 final - midterm and final are easy if you did all the reading, but Prof. Parker is one of the tougher graders. Still think he's worth taking a class with just to hear what he thinks!
