Shmoop Literature Courses Overview

[Ideas]

Shakespeare's Plays: I didn't get a good start on this course and by the end of the first unit only had 68%. As the course went on I started getting the hang of it and finished the course at 80%. I only used the summaries, themes, characters and analysis, I didn't read the full plays. I didn't feel the sarcastic/witty writing style worked too well here, by the end of course I was feeling a little tired of it and felt that the subject deserved a more neutral tone. Completed over the weekend.

I did the first unit of Shakespeare's Plays and felt it was pretty hard. I felt some questions were pretty subjective with multiple good answers, worded in a strange way, etc. It's got me a bit scared of continuing in that course, but I probably will try one more unit before I decide if I'll do a different Lit course instead. Maybe I'll get the hang of it too.

I've also looked over some of the Drugs in Literature material and plan to try a unit test any day now.
