Comment:
Lot of papers that were pretty difficult. Niche and hard to understand topic. However, the Prof is genuinely a good guy who is very passionate about the topic and you truly do get a better idea of what he is talking about by the end. However, the lectures you need to go to as that is where he summarizes the concepts, the readings are difficult

Comment:
Classes were very effective to our learning and enabled us to use some ideas conveyed in his lectures for our essays which helped a lot. The professor created an enjoyable atmosphere and had open discussions. He gave us an opportunity to widen our horizons. I also appreciated that one of the assignments was practical rather than focused on theory.

Comment:
Open-ended class discussions, you have to read a lot but he doesn't help you learn it. More of an improv class than a literary one, as we did group 'performances'. Has a huge rep as a distinguished prof, but he's totally inaccessible to students (barely answered emails). That being said, if you're a good writer it's a very easy A

he's pretentious and needs focus, doesn't attempt to clarify much in lecture and instead just works off the readings

Seriously the best course I ever had in my three years university life. The two hours lecture time always pass by so quickly and his lectures are tense! If you attend the lectures, you will fall in love and you will be engaged. Getting an A is not so hard if you are into the materials. Best lecturer and I have to say this- he is so hot/brilliant!

The volume and difficulty of the course texts will make your head spin, but a graduate seminar with Cazdyn is a requisite if you're into left literary theory at U of T.

OK, so he's the hottest person I've ever met besides my fiance. But his course was also amazing... I was able to follow his thoughts exactly. Pick up his book, too. So dreamy, and so smart, and... *sigh*

His lectures were a mess of half-points making one poor point, and he wasn't helpful on essays. Girls said he was cute, but I thought he was very arrogant, self-important, and egotistical. Geez! It's not like he invented the idea of a national cinema.

Comment:
As a het. male I'm not impressed by how "cute" he is. The course was interesting, but vague and sometimes I think Cazdyn wasn't too sure of himself. I also found him a bit pretentious at times -- the key to his attractiveness perhaps?

I am a guy, so I won't use the term "attractive" or "cute" to describe him. But, the thing is he is explain well with a lot of hand motions. And not to metion - good movies for people to think and write assignments on!
