Assignment task:
Write a short critical reflection essay about The Course of Love. You might think of this assignment as what you would produce if asked to write a journal entry about the book- or a lengthy version of your response if a friend asked you: "Would you recommend this book? Why or why not?" There is no particular substance you are required to discuss. But questions you might address include: Did you learn anything from it? (If so, what?) Did you think it was useful or a waste of time? What were your favorite and least favorite parts? Was the substance surprising or unsurprising? What features did you agree or disagree with? What did you really love; what did you find provocative; what did you find problematic- and why? And so on.
