I'm avoiding Brantly and this department going forward, no thanks. ",

The readings are interesting but sometimes a bit heavy, and Brantly's online lectures are well-structured and help the more confusing stories make sense. Take it if you need a literature credit!",

She is so incredibly knowledgeable and she gives great feedback on all of the assignments. Some might say her grading is hard, it has expectations, but it is a literature class. ",
