Because it is an English course, you should expect a lot of reading and writing, but it was a fair amount, in my opinion. Enough to learn from, but not overwhelming in the slightest. Rebecca really knows how to look out for her students and dole out assignments fairly, as well as grade fairly. I learned a lot about writing, as well as critical reading, so this class was extremely useful, as well as engaging! If you want a good grade, just participate and do the assignments. It was extremely easy for me to do so because Rebecca made the class enjoyable. She's also super helpful and always there for anything!
