I personally enjoy English classes, especially more contemporary literature ones. So I think what made this course more enjoyable was going into it knowing that about me. That being said I believe any future students should be prepared to set aside time to read. I know with this class being taught over the summer we had very little time to devote to reading and analyzing. But in a way it helped me get things done. I’m bad about starting a book, getting distracted, and just forgetting to finish it. I think having to read a book within 3-4 days urged me to finish some enjoyable books I would have more than likely neglected. The use of films in this course was also good use of the modern elements of literature, and they helped to offer up a breather from the hours of words I had to push through. Students enjoy watching an occasional movie for class. Students should also expect to relate the real world to these novels and films. His helps solidify the readings and makes writing about them much easier. As far as preparing for this course people should just be aware of the world and the events that are taking place. I found it helpful to talk about the books with friends and family and get some of their responses on the matter. The weblog was also is a good tool for gaining different insights someone else may have. This course was worth the effort and I believe anyone who enjoys reading contemporary writing would enjoy taking it.
