The course materials were excellent, with plenty of resources and support from the instructors. I particularly enjoyed the discussions on the role of women in classical English drama and the impact of social class on the plays. The course has really helped me to develop my critical thinking and writing skills, and I feel much more confident in my ability to analyze and interpret complex texts.
