I LOVED THIS CLASS! I am an econ major who had no interest in poetry whatsoever. I just need a lit requirement. But she made this material very interesting. Exams and quizzes were straight forward, though grading was a little overly subjective (she takes off a lot of random half-points). Just go to lecture and pay attention and you'll do fine.
