While I enjoyed this class more than English 10A, it still wasn't very engaging and I ended up switching my major halfway through the quarter from English because I realized I didn't enjoy it enough. The readings were often long and boring (though some were quite good), and Professor Cohen's lectures weren't usually much better. Lectures also aren't recorded and the slides posted aren't helpful, he mostly just talks. It felt a lot like a history class as opposed to English because we didn't talk much about the actual text, usually more of the historical background. Other than the reading, the work was easy. Just a couple of essays, a project which you're basically guaranteed an A on, and a take-home final. This does mean that if you get a B on one of the essays, however, you probably can't get an A (this happened to me so I ended with an A-). Cohen seems like a cool dude, I just didn't match his style. Not a horrible class to take, though.
