<p>for 76-101, which professor is the easiest?</p>
<p>Pick the topic that interests you, not the easiest professors- even if the prof for Walt Whitman is easy, if you hate poetry, it'll be a painful class. The teachers are actually grad students, so they change all the time, and it's likely that we haven't had experience with them. I've been told that the section about the Simpsons is overrated... all the other ones that I'm familiar with aren't being offered this year.</p>
<p>For people who didn't get a listing of topics from their advisors yet:

<p>try and get geoff glover, he teaches the one about racism.
i wont say its easy, but that guy is phenomenal, and actually made interp interesting.</p>
<p>Definitely recommend William Blake and the Simpsons. Fun class, you get to watch Simpsons, Cosby, Seinfeld, and analyze them. Includes a segment on the effects of violent video games. I think there was a lot less work for this section in comparison to other sections.</p>
