ENCW 2300

*For Fall 2024* - Prof. Santana (this is what she goes by) is wonderful in every way. She leads class discussions with ease and makes thought-provoking points about the texts we read. The class is designed to be a workshop. For the first few weeks, we read a selection of the professor's favorite poems, starting from the beginning of writing itself with an ancient Mesopotamian author. Afterward, we had a chance to write our own poems and have them reviewed by classmates during the workshop. There were two workshops, one toward the beginning of the semester and one toward the end. The homework was just the readings which are literally just 1-2 page poems so it's extremely manageable and/or simple assignments. The only *big* assignment is a book essay which isn't too stressful as the professor gives a lot of time for it and directions on the requirements. Amazing professor!! I can't recommend enough!
