Winter 2023 - super fun, engaging, interesting class. readings can be a little long at times, but class discussions are very interesting and often focussed more on today's culture rather than traditional literary analysis. professor mcmillan doesn't care too much about canvas organization and assignment parameters/deadlines were confusing, but manageable. grade work consisted of 3 mini-ish papers due at the end of the quarter about the readings, midterm paper, 'keyword' paper on american culture, and longgg take home final. overall, very manageable but annoying at times. an extra paper on the readings counted as extra credit and there was definitely an emphasis on participation, but that came easy as everyone was eager to talk and engage. overall DEFINITELY take the class

Winter 2025 - Ways of Reading Race - I'm not an English major, so I didn't know what to expect taking this class. The readings were really interesting. Each week focuses on different communities/subculture and we go into theory about identification and a lot of the class makes you think about behaviors that are often subconscious. The class was two papers and a final project (instead of a final exam). I'd recommend checking in with the TA and talking about your paper before writing it to make sure that you're answering the question since the rubric sometimes felt a little vague.
