...environmental problems. Some students enjoy the haphazard approach, although many complain that there seems to be no core knowledge that is learned in the class. The only other required departmental course, after junior tutorial and senior thesis seminars, is ESPP 78, “Environmental Politics,” taught by Sheila Jasanoff. However, while ESPP does not have many departmental courses, students in the concentration have found that courses such as EPS 7, “Introduction to Geological Science,” sand Economics 1661, “Environmental Economics,” tend to be tailored specifically...
...Game,” Bunuel’s surrealist shorts, Godard’s flawless “Breathless,” and Truffaut’s classic “The 400 Blows.” We hear the class is relatively painless, though it is taught in French. Parlez-vous anglais? Non! A new offering, FC 85, “Japan Pop: From Basho to Banana,” teaches anime and manga, alongside other eclectic elements of Japanese popular culture. FC 72, “Russian Culture from Revolution to Perestroika,” taught by well...

They are small, well-taught, and intellectually engaging—if you don’t mind a lot of reading and long discussions around a small table. And don’t worry—even if it puts you to sleep, “bathroom breaks” to pick up some coffee at the Greenhouse...
...Benjamin Buchloh, a modern art professor who came to Harvard last year and is a world-renowned art historian. His fame comes from incredible intelligence as well as uncanny incoherence and a remarkable ability to invent words. You’ll also meet professor Neil Levine, who last year taught the core course, Lit and Arts B-34, “Frank Lloyd Wright and the Modern City and Suburb.” Professor Levine is exceptionally anal about letting his students out exactly on time, which is great, and almost begins to make up for his extreme outbursts...
