I took the Literary Criticism course at Stanmore School of Business and it was a great experience. The course content was pretty cool, I liked how we got to explore different theoretical approaches and apply them to various texts. The instructor was knowledgeable and the materials were decent, but sometimes I felt like we were just scratching the surface of some topics. Still, I gained some useful insights and skills, especially when it came to analyzing and interpreting literary works. One of the highlights for me was the group discussions, where we got to share our thoughts and opinions with each other. It was a good way to learn from others and get different perspectives. Overall, I'd say the course was worth taking, but maybe could've been more in-depth in some areas.
