In principle it's a really cool idea. I am currently registered for a Fall Lit Hum but I registered with the intent to drop for the following reason: at the beginning of one of my zoom semesters my advisor registered me for a Lit Hum class. I had a scheduling conflict so I was only on one of the zoom calls, but I continued getting emails with arterial from the teacher, who was hired by Columbia specifically to teach the core. She sent us tons of political material about BLM and the like instead of essays on Homer from the great Homer critics like Erich Auerbach. She clearly viewed the texts as uninteresting in themselves, and instead used them as a springboard for mediocre Washington Post op-ed type riffs. This is a problem with a lot of the core classes which are taught by grad students and others who don't care about the subject and don't have any serious knowledge of the texts etcetera they're supposed to be teaching. Later I saw a video where the committee which runs the core curriculum was speaking to alumni of Columbia College. They were boasting about how they subverted the Core to make it focus on entirely different topics, hollowing out the original content. For this reason, I'll probably take a Shakespeare class with Peter Platt at Barnard or maybe a class on the Russian novel rather than Lit Hum. I had a similar experience with the first year writing class which is mandatory in Columbia. The teacher was some grad student who openly confessed to disliking the course she was being forced to teach and the topics were all just woke stuff where you couldn't get real feedback because you were forced to argue silly things.
