I think it was only offered once and we had about 10 students in the class. Never done again because not enough interest. But it was an awesome class with my favorite English teacher!

I wish this was the Heinlein chosen for my Sci-Fi Lit course- I loved this book. The Professor decided to saddle us with Stranger in a Strange Land instead, which is not nearly as much fun!
