Joseph Loewenstein

Fantastic lecturer and difficult grader. Sometimes difficult to talk with him outside of class, but he does seem to care about his students.

He's awesome! He's fiercely intelligent, vastly knowledgeable about the period, and incredibly enthusiastic. He tends to give about 2/3 of a letter grade less than I'm used to on papers, but with good reason. He seems to genuinely care about making students understand Shakespeare and improve as readers and as paper-writers. And he's entertaining!

Loewenstein challenges everyone he encounters. It can be frustrating at times to answer only to find that yes, your answer is valid, but not what he was looking for. Still, he is brilliant and he does care (he's very lax with deadlines and revisions). His class is extremely difficult, but you will see Shakespeare from entirely new angles.
