Have Any Parents Sat in on Classes?

I sat in on some English classes, one on poetry and another on Shakespeare, and a comp. lit. introductory course (that was what I studied in college and grad school) - I thought they were great, with lots of class discussion, students seeming very comfortable with the material and with discussing it, respectful of each other even when they disagreed, well moderated by the professor. The poetry instructor was amazing; the best reading of a TS Eliot and Wallace Stevens poem I’d heard - breathtaking (DeSales Harrison). It’s no wonder that Oberlin English majors go on to grad school in significant numbers.
