This advanced course offers a rich exploration of diverse literary works, enhancing critical thinking and analytical writing skills. I appreciated the emphasis on close reading and the connection between literature and its cultural contexts, fostering a deeper understanding of human experiences. However, the pacing could be improved, as some texts felt rushed, leaving less time for in-depth discussions. Incorporating more interactive elements, such as group analyses or creative projects, might also enhance student engagement and understanding.
