English has always been one of my least favorite subjects, but I liked the approach Dr. Smith took on World Literature. We read a lot of literature and we had weekly discussion posts, typically due before we started talking about a certain topic so we gained knowledge on the topic beforehand. Some of my favorite things we read were “The Ascent of Mount Ventoux” by Petrarch and “Inferno” by Dante. I’m glad we were able to tie history into the readings and I thoroughly appreciated learning more about authors and poets while writing our discussion posts. My favorite discussion post was about the Renaissance and comparing/contrasting it to the Enlightenment.
