Best english professor I've ever had. Took his Summer II class, the grade is basically responses for a few short stories we read, a few "personal" entries (only a page long each), and two major essays. The rest of the class is just conversation and dialogue on material pertaining to the class. Shout out from ur fav American University student :)

You may or may not find him talkative, but you can really sense the passion in his teaching.

All professors are educated to teach indeed, but not all are able to do so. Prof. Kaufman is part of special group who is not a product of what was learned in school, but rather of what he taught himself along the way.
