Professor Stewart gives really dull lectures that are not intellectually stimulating at all. This might be a good course to take if it's your very first English course ever in your life, but otherwise, you will find it to be incredibly boring and elementary. If you do sign up, expect a semester of Stewart reading the poems back to you in class, then rambling a bit about nothing in particular, and then moving on. The whole class is like that. Not recommended, unless you are looking for a hella easy pre-1800 class to knock out that last requirement.

Workload:

Reading is so little you will probably end up not even doing it. That's okay, though, because he reads it back to you the next day. Plus, the midterm is just one question on one author, and the final is two on two. One short paper, and one 8-pager.

Sigh, I get tired just thinking about this class. The professor admitted that he was teaching it because he had to, not because he wanted to. Most of the class was him lecturing and asking questions that nobody wanted to answer because they were too elementary or because nobody really cared, leading to a lot of awkward silence. That's about it.

Workload:

One 2 page paper, one eight page paper, midterm (1 essay), final (2 essay)-both tests were fairly easy if you just read one or two texts all the way through, weekly reading which you could easily get away with not doing.
