My advice to future students of this class would be to be prepared to do a lot of work. The assignments and readings are not necessarily difficult, its just that it can be very time consuming. I took another online class and had 2 jobs so I did not get a lot of sleep this past month trying to keep up with everything. Also, my advice would be to keep up on the readings. Some of the novels were quite lengthy. I think it is also important for students to be open minded about the readings. I know that I would not have chosen any of those novels to read on my own, but for the most part I enjoyed the readings.

Another important thing is to make sure you get all the books at the beginning of the class, the readings come up fast. Once you finish one book it is best to go ahead and get started on the next. One thing I learned to hard way is to make sure you have a stable internet connection when it is class time. I almost had a heart attack when my internet went down right at 2:00 when class was supposed to start.

Overall, I think I got a lot out of this class. I haven't had a literature class in a long time so it was nice to catch up on some reading. Also, I actually liked writing the papers because I could write about what was interesting to me (I am a nerd I guess). Even though the class was a lot of work, it was interesting and I enjoyed it.
