“This course is made wonderful by the complex and thought-provoking texts explored as well as the wonderful teaching methods. Rather than viewing literature as a black and white monolith with only one correct interpretation, the teacher invites her students to think critically and extract their own interpretations and opinions from the text, which encourages students to develop their own meaningful literary analysis rather than parroting back what they are told the text is about. Students who are used to getting perfect scores on English papers may be frustrated with the scrupulous grading at first, but those who learn to listen to and value her feedback will see boundless improvement in both their writing and critical thinking skills. She is a kind and encouraging teacher who seeks to instill a love for both the moral lessons and art of literature in every one of her students.”
