Honestly the best. He is so nice and promotes great discussions. When I first signed up for the class, I wasn't sure I would like it, based on the material, but by the end of the semester I really enjoyed the discussion and readings. Professor Lapushin is great and very understanding. Class is really more of a book club than a lecture.

I had Lapushin for a first year seminar, Madness and (Russian) Lit. Class is almost entirely discussion-based with only a little bit of highly informal lecture. By the end of the semester I was wishing he would lecture more because he is SO GOOD at it--he is engaging and inspiring. Also, he's very easy at least in a FYS. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
