Review:
This course really wasn't the horror stories other reviews have made it out to be. The workload is typical of English courses above English 1 and 2 - two exams and a paper. Racism and sexism have to be discussed in a class surveying American literature because like it or not they are part of American history and thus form the context and background for these works of literature. The course gives a good panoramic view of American lit (i.e. the "survey" aspect) and the fact that it includes works by writers other than white men is a GOOD thing.

Workload:
1 essay, 1 midterm (shorts answers and a larger essay), 1 final (same format as midterm).
