I gained practical skills in critical thinking and textual analysis, which I applied to my own research project on American literature. The course materials were of high quality, relevant, and up-to-date, making the learning experience enjoyable and satisfying. I appreciated the instructor's availability for feedback and the opportunity to discuss topics with peers from different cultural backgrounds.
