Here are a few things students have said about the experience of taking it.</p> <ul> <li> <p> "Patrick Barry is the best teacher I have ever had. I have never learned so much in a class. I hated English my whole life until I took this course."</p> </li> <li> <p>"I feel like this is and always will be the most valuable class I've ever taken here."</p> </li> <li> <p>"I genuinely wanted to show up to this class due to the amount I knew I would learn." </p> </li> <li> <p> "I'm going to severely SEVERELY miss this course."</p> </li> <li> <p>"Every student should try to take one of Prof. Barry's classes if he or she wants to become a better writer."</p> </li> <li> <p> "My writing is now 113x better."</p> </li> </ul>
