Unless you're planning on becoming an English teacher, I wouldn't recommend taking this class. It wasn't bad per se, I just don't think it was the best use of my time as someone with a more general interest in language learning. You kind of need to read the textbook in order to participate in class and complete the assignments. That being said, the reading was probably the worst part of the entire class. You have to read two chapters every other day and they aren't very interesting. The assignments themselves are fairly easy, as they're mostly based on self-reflection. In sum, pretty low stress but not super interesting (IMO).
