The course materials were of high quality and relevance, with insightful analyses of works by authors such as Mark Twain and F. Scott Fitzgerald. I gained practical knowledge in critical thinking and essay writing, which I've been able to apply in my academic pursuits. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the course and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in American literature.

The 'American Literary Classics' course was a great experience for me. I liked how the instructor made the classes engaging and interactive, with discussions on the significance of the American Dream in literature. The course content was pretty cool, and I appreciated the examples of how the themes and motifs in the novels are still relevant today. One thing that really stood out to me was the way the instructor used multimedia resources to illustrate the historical context of the novels - it made the learning experience more enjoyable and helped me understand the material better. My only suggestion would be to include more modern American literature in the curriculum, but overall, I'm happy with what I learned.
