• Chose this course as an elective because I love children's literature but I really regretted it. This class ended up being my most demanding course for the term. Definitely not a 200-level course, more like 300 at min. I will say the lectures are well thought out and extensive, however I wouldn't recommend taking this class if you are taking 4 or more courses. As others have said it's highly discussion-based, prof had discussions due every week Saturdays-Tuesdays which was disappointing and taxing.

• This class was really interesting, and I felt as if I learned more literary theories than in my Intro to Literature course. The workload is heavy, you pretty much have to read a whole children's chapter book every week and write 3-4 discussion posts on each of them. On top of that there are two essays, a peer review, peer review reflection and a final exam. All the assignments were usually due on Tuesdays, which could get stressful when they are piled on top of each other. The prof does a great job of explaining things online and the texts she chose were for the most part pretty interesting.

• Good course! Very discussion driven. A couple assignments and no exam. Overall easy course.

• Professor McArthur was without a doubt the worst professor I have ever had. Absolute nightmare to speak with, clearly felt she was better than everyone else, and all around a very boring person. If you are considering taking her class, switch into a different section - it is seriously not worth taking her class!
