Hello All...
I am extremely interested in learning more about Harvard's Poetry in America series. I've explored the posts here on the Forum and looked at both the Harvard and edX websites for syllabus info, but would greatly appreciate learning more about the course requirements from those who have completed one or more of the classes.
Can you audit a class then retake the same class for credit? Are thesis/essay examples provided within the class? I was thinking of taking a look at HarvardX's archived "Poetry in America - Whitman" course over at edX just to get a feel for what a class is like. I'm assuming this would be helpful – especially if I can see just one sample essay!
Literature has ALWAYS been my first love. However, I have not felt confident enough with my formal essay writing skills to pursue Lit at the Graduate level. I’ve been dabbling around taking some Am Lit/Eng Lit/Shakespeare courses from Study.com and Shmoop, but my ultimate plan is to take a writing refresher class (I like the Academic English Writing course from Coursera), then clench my chattering teeth and attempt whatever Poetry in America class is next available.
Many thanks!
