I am a bit surprised that I actually enjoyed this course so much considering that I mostly just took It to fulfill my literature requirement. It was a great opportunity for me to read so many books because if I hadn’t taken this course I honestly probably wouldn’t have read any this term at all. I really appreciate the opportunity to branch out from my usual classes and take a course like this one because its nice to be able to read and talk about books for class.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure if I have a favourite book necessarily however I really liked our most recent read “My Brilliant Friend” by Elena Ferrante, and surprisingly to me after looking back on what we’ve read I actually think I really enjoyed “Agostino”, but at the time I thought it was too weird. I now appreciate the author’s authentic and honest writing style, and I can now see its more about adolescents and confusion growing up than being weird and attracted to his mother.<\/p>\n
Something that I liked about this course was the contract we have for our grades. I thought that it was a unique way to always try and maintain control and be able to know and expect your grade. But I also think that it did make it hard for me to contract for anything low because its hard to say no to a good grade at the start of the year before actually having to do much work. However I do think I is still absolutely reasonable to accomplish even if you contracted high so thats why I really enjoyed this type of grading.<\/p>\n
Overall this class was really great and definitely something that I would recommend to others. My question for the class is: What was your favourite part of RMST?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
