I wish I can retake this course. writing the papers is not exactly easy but it forces u to think outside the box for once. - **2021-11** — Such an interesting course and all you have to do is read the poems assigned for each week and write three papers. The papers are easy if you know how to write a good argument. - **2020-04** — She was one of the best courses I've taken so far. She's such a great professor and the course is cool. 2 tests and a final which are fairly simple just an essay. Weekly readings that are mostly poems and if not then short stories. Highly recommend this course - **2020-04** — No workload but not very high grades - **2019-08** — Engl 207 is a lovely course with Lara. You take poems and some prose on the Romantic, Victorian and Modernism Eras. You have 3 responses, three exams and one presentation. Grades are high if you show hard work and participation. I recommend it. - **2019-08** — Eng 207 with Syrine Hout was one of the best courses I've taken so far.
