I recently completed the Graduate Certificate in Leo Tolstoy's Historical Context (Advanced) at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a valuable learning experience. As a Ghanaian student, I was interested in exploring the intersections between literature and history, and this course provided a comprehensive overview of Tolstoy's works and their historical context. The course materials were detailed and well-researched, with a focus on critical analysis and interpretation. I appreciated the opportunities for peer feedback and discussion, which helped me refine my thinking and gain new insights. The instructors were knowledgeable and responsive, and the online platform was generally user-friendly. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more diverse perspectives and case studies from non-Western contexts. Nevertheless, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to those interested in literary and historical studies.
