Some former students say:

“This class wasn’t just a lecture. There was always class participation, so it wasn’t boring, and it made us feel like we could have an opinion as opposed to other classes where teachers don’t value our opinion.”

On explication: “These essays were fun to do, and I usually have a difficult time with poetry.”

“We put a lot of time into poetry and I think I really improved my understanding of it.”

“The little assignments helped when it came to writing the final paper.”

On the best aspect of the class: “The small assignments before the papers because they built up to what we had to do on the actual papers and through them I learned a lot.”

“I really learned how to build up good papers.”

“The teacher was very accessible and got back to us when we needed in a short amount of time.”

On the best aspect of the class: “The atmosphere.”
