David Wright (graphic novels) is a good teacher, and so was Maneesh Sharma (Sir Gawain). My first semester professors were good, too.
But the material is frequently dry. Postmodernism has pretty much taken over my department -- this bleak, soulless, amoral mathematics that adds up to nothing and disguises its utter uselessness with thick jargon. Postmodernists are vampires who suck the souls out of books.
As for the books, most of them have been pretty good. But so much of Grad studies is theory.
