I took it with Nadine last summer and it was one of the most helpful courses I have ever taken. My only complaint is that the reading load was unnecessarily high (expecting students to read a book every 2 weeks on top of other coursework), and books like David Copperfield are long, boring, and outright depressing. I found that simply going to tutorial having read the online chapter summaries beforehand were sufficient, almost half of the exam-able material was in the form of short stories which alleviates some pressure to diligently read the longer books. The writing feedback and self corrections helped me a lot in terms of becoming a better (well-rounded) writer.
