My pitch for LIT 376

For those of you considering enrolling in John Glendening's spring class LIT 376 Darwin and the Environment:

Professor Glendening is very knowledgeable in the field of Darwinism.  I experienced this first hand last spring when I took a seminar with him.  We covered novels from the Romantic period that dealt with British imperialism.  "Heart of Darkness" was one of these- my information about the Sepoy revolt was learned in his class.

Small classes rock!  If you haven't had the opportunity to take part in a small literature class, which is somewhat rare at undergraduate level, I recommend it.  The depth of discussion that can be achieved in a small class is highly rewarding.  While it may sound intimidating, it usually takes me 2-3 class sessions to feel truly comfortable, the experience is not nearly as scary as it might sound.

Have a great holiday!!!
