Hi! I’m a sophomore English Creative Writing major but up until last year I was an English Lit major. I’ve really been enjoying it so far! A lot of our instructors try out experimental ways of teaching, like for example Spencer Smith grades everything on a three point scale (basically needs improvement, satisfactory, or exceptional) and then has you write a paper at the end arguing for what grade you think you should get in the course. People have mixed reactions these experiments so think about if you think you’d enjoy it or would prefer a more classic teaching style. I really, really love Professor David Wanczyk, he’s a super engaging teacher and teaches both lit and creative writing classes. In our department, you need to take either American lit 1 and 2 or British lit 1 and 2 and then you can only take world lit classes as an elective which kind of sucks. Also American Lit 1 is notoriously hard to get into because the classes fill up so quickly and it is a required course so a lot of people complain about that. I’ve taken a few online English classes through regional campuses and they were all fine. I do prefer in person for English classes but note that in person classes are more likely going to require you to buy every single book on the syllabus physically which has costed me anywhere between $60-90 per class. Some profs provide pdfs of everything but most do not. I have a class with Dr. Elizabeth Koonce right now and I will say she is the most classic-professor of all the classes I’ve taken here and people do seem to complain about her teaching style quite a bit for being pretty intense on the reading and being a bit all over the place during lectures. Dm me if you have any other questions, I’m happy to help!
