Paul's A Fine Romance course was everything I hoped it would be. As someone who did not study literature in college, I always struggled with Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur even though I love Arthurian Legend. The lectures were informative and entertaining, and each week I came away with something new from the text I tried so many times to conquer. I cannot recommend this class enough!

Most people would be generally familiar with the Round Table but perhaps not its origins or all its characters. Dr. Lauren Chochinov presents a 600-year old magical tale in the form of a poem about Sir Gawain and explores its language, metrical schemes and context from all aspects. A very interesting and rewarding course!

I greatly enjoyed Dr Lauren's Gawain and the Green Knight course. I knew a bit about Arthur mythology but this opened my eyes to another story. Learning about the concurrent history and beliefs of the time helped me to fully understand and interpret this poem, and Dr Lauren is extremely knowledgeable on the subject. This was the perfect summer learning experience!

Very informative course which opened my eyes to much more than the story of Dracula. We explored Victorian culture, vampire literature, technology at the turn of the century. Worth every penny.

I'm not generally into zombie stories, but Dr. Moffett lured me in with the promise of Haitian zombies and The Girl With All The Gifts. I'm so glad I took the Zombie course, because, as always, I learned a lot, and had great conversations about the movies and texts we covered. Highly recommend.

Robin Hood was a plum of a course taught by the brilliant Dr. Mikela Hunter covering the origins and transformation of the tale and its characters over the centuries to the present day, including a look into meter and rhyme, the forms of presentation (opera, ballad, novel, film, etc.) and the historical backdrop. The course went far beyond my expectations!

With Prof. Moffett as your guide, it is a serious academic exposition including aspects of language, culture, myths, sagas, history and the tools employed by the poet for maximum interest in the story and impact. I am very happy I took this course and plan to enroll in more of the courses he offers.

Paul did a great job of unpacking and revealing these layers to heighten my enjoyment, appreciation and understanding of this great poem.

I kept thinking, "This feels decadent." I feel like I underpaid. You read poetry and played music. Such great context and history about the author. I listen to a lot of online college courses and this is really a cut above.
