I took the 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich Critical Study' course at Stanmore School of Business and found it to be really helpful in understanding the themes and symbolism in the novella. The course content was pretty comprehensive, covering everything from the historical context to the psychological insights into the characters. I gained some useful skills in critical thinking and analysis, which I've been able to apply to my other studies. The course materials were good, but sometimes I felt like they could have been more interactive. Still, I'm glad I took the course and would recommend it to others who are interested in literature.
