The Medieval English Literature course was a great experience for me. I liked how the instructor broke down complex concepts into manageable chunks, making it easier to understand the nuances of medieval English. The course materials were pretty cool, with some really interesting examples of medieval texts and their historical context. One thing that really stood out to me was the discussion on the influence of Christianity on medieval literature - it was fascinating to see how it shaped the themes and motifs of the time. While there were some areas where I felt the course could be improved, overall I'm happy with what I learned and would recommend it to others.
