The homework is just writing practice usually taken from the textbook. It can be tedious but it helps drill terminology and skills like rhetorical analysis. Just do the homework and your grade will be fine.
Do all the homework online. Trust me it makes everything go a lot faster. There's a lot of writing involved in this class. Memorize all the literary terms at the beginning, it will save you a lot of time. The class is pretty boring so just try and survive it.
Class is easy if you put in the effort.
