“Despite my preference for British literature, to my surprise, I enjoyed studying American literature in this survey course. The course provides a broad view of American literary works and their impact on society in the past and the present. I appreciated how discussion-based the class was and the wide variety of opinions, backgrounds, and worldviews that composed the student body. Through questions and feedback, the teacher helped me hone my literary voice and critical thinking skills. As someone interested in majoring in English, her passion for discussing literature inspired me. I highly recommend this course!”
