Very interesting project (working with the Sheldon Museum) but frustrating that there was little organization to the class. The syllabus changed a ton from its original version. But the class was very easy and the project was a great learning experience.

In theory this course is really interesting, but it was a little bit disorganized and we didn't get to the part of the syllabus I was most interested in (creating our own exhibits at the Sheldon museum). It's sort of a "choose your own workload" situation meaning you can either decide to be really into it or not take on any big role in the projects.

I really enjoyed that we looked at various kinds of things to understand American literature and culture, from primary source texts to a children's primer to contemporary art to Plymouth Rock. I thought this class did a good job of presenting various perspectives as far as the origins of American culture and what studying that can look like. Professor Foutch is an incredibly thoughtful and understanding professor, and I appreciated her flexibility when I sometimes needed to turn in assignments late. I enjoyed many of the assignments for this class (some of them were more creative and some were more traditional research-paper style), I thought there was a good variety. I do think students sometimes found it hard to stay engaged during more lecture-based class days.
