Don't be afraid to ask questions! Mrs. Schum is very passionate about the material and is happy to help. Also, if you need to email her, she can't respond outside of school hours due to security issues. There are a lot of presentations in the class, including the final, and while you have the option to work independently most of the time, there may be a required group project. Luckily Mrs. Schum usually gives options to choose from with different assignments.

Mrs. Schum is an amazing teacher, and it's clear she's very passionate about her classes. Her classes are relatively easy and she makes an effort to make the classroom comfortable. The material is not a lot of work aside from a few essays, notes, and discussions, and the classes she teaches are specific to a certain genre of literature so you can pick what interests you. It's a great class, I have no complaints.
