Reviews from students in recent Writing about Literature courses:
"My reading and writing have been enhanced way beyond my expectations."
“The course encouraged me to go beyond an essay of a few paragraphs and dig deeper into literature.”
“Dr. Rzepka is an expert in his area and a teacher who teaches whole-heartedly. He is very kind and supportive, and I can proudly say that he is my favorite lecturer.”
"When the classes started, I thought I would be faced with a lot of complex literature texts that I would have no clue how to even start analyzing. Now that I have finished the classes, I know there is always a way to analyze and dissect even the hardest literature text, be it in the form of poems, short stories, or other literature."
"What I liked most about the course is the way Dr. Rzepka told me to imagine a literature text as a biological specimen ready to be analyzed under a microscope. For a person like me who liked science, I find that really helpful."
"I want to let you know how the writing class is going. To be frank with you, I thought it was going to be a pain but it's only been the second meeting and I'm loving it. The professor is really clear and helpful. Like, I'm really loving this class. What I also love about this is that it's really interactive (he literally makes us feel comfortable in sharing our ideas and stuff) so that's great."
