All about LCC1 - Survey of Literature

I really don't have a lot to say about this class... other than it SUCKS.  Really, though, LCC1 was the hardest class I've taken so far and unless you just love classical literature, you'll probably want to jump off a bridge while studying it.  Just reading through all of the material intimidated me so much that I quit studying altogether for about three weeks at one point.  Anyway, I picked up my studying again a couple of weeks ago and just finished the objective assessment about five minutes ago (passed with 79% - cut score is 55%).

If you're taking this class I would recommend studying various sets of flashcards (go to google and type in "LCC1 flashcards", you'll get a ton of hits).  Specifically, study and memorize all of the author's names and what they wrote, all of the various literary terms, and get a good feel for how each time period wrote.  So, for instance, you'll want to know by reading a paragraph what time period it came from, who wrote it, and all literary devices (terms) that were used to write it.  Another helpful study tool is reading the "study guide" for each chapter that it provided at the end of each chapter.

I wish I had more to say about this class... I really do.  But, honestly, I want to forget about it so quick it's not even funny.  I wish you luck with the test, but just know that's it's pretty tough, so don't procrastinate on this course... study, study, study.

If you have any specific questions about LCC1, don't hesitate to ask. :)
