The English Literary Theory course was pretty cool. I mean, I didn't expect to learn so much about literary theory, but it actually turned out to be really interesting. The course content was pretty solid, and I liked how we got to explore different perspectives and critiques. One thing that really stood out to me was the way the instructor used real-life examples to illustrate key concepts - it made the material way more relatable and easier to understand. The course materials were decent, but sometimes I felt like they could've been more concise. Still, I'm glad I took the course, and I feel like I gained some useful skills and knowledge.
