“When Things Fall Apart”

3. How do you feel about the amount of reading in Middle Eastern Lit?

“It was a pretty good amount. It wasn’t too much or too little.”

4. What reading-related advice would you give to a student currently enrolled in Middle Eastern Lit?

“Make sure that you are staying on top of your reading and keeping up with the pace of the teacher’s preferences.”

5. How did your experience in Middle Eastern Lit impact the class you chose to take this year?
