Winter 2022 - Took Engl 179: Reading Like a Writer: A Short Story Intensive in Winter'22. Professor Huneven is an extremely sweet and understanding professor. We were given one short story each week to read 3 times and write a paragraph on our observations, feelings and analysis of the story with each read. The story was also dissected into different parts, and the class was split into groups to prepare group presentations for the part we were assigned every week. I personally enjoyed the short stories selected and found them really well chosen and curated. The workload was definitely manageable and the grading was fair, if not generous. Things I would have liked to see was more constructive criticism and feedback on our writing and perhaps more of the professor's own insight into the stories during class time (as most of the time spent in class was led by students with our group presentations). Overall, a really manageable and enjoyable class that I'd recommend taking.
