I found the Global Certificate in Comparative Literature (Advanced) course to be a valuable learning experience. As a student from Egypt, I was interested in exploring the literary traditions of the Middle East and North Africa, and the course provided a solid foundation for this. The instructor's approach was clear and concise, and the course materials were well-organized and relevant. I appreciated the opportunities to engage with my peers from diverse backgrounds and discuss the literary works from different perspectives. One of the key takeaways for me was the understanding of the historical and cultural contexts that shape literary works, which helped me to better appreciate the nuances of Arabic literature. While I would have liked more in-depth analysis of certain topics, overall I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to those interested in comparative literature.
