Would take again

This class was not difficult, just be prepared to read the material, go over notes and participate in class, it's important to succeed in this class. There are three major essays throughout the semester, this is an English class therefore grammar, punctuation etc. matters. Overall, I really enjoyed this class, it was informative and insightful.
