<p>Anyone know of any good online resources to prepare for Lit Hum?</p>
<p>Please add to this</a> thread's list of sites or just check out what's already there. Thanks, and enjoy!</p>
<p>You don’t need to prepare for it. They don’t expect you to come into class having learned everything on your own. Just read the Iliad by the first week of September if you can.</p>
<p>…Or read the first third of it and supplement it by reading Sparksnotes. Kidding but not really.</p>
<p>Haha good ol’ Sparksnotes.</p>
<p>Sparknotes is wildly inaccurate. I have no idea what is going on in their heads (that is, if they have one).</p>
<p>sparknotes is inaccurate???</p>
<p>that’s the first i’ve heard about this. what’s wrong with sparknotes? </p>
<p>i used it throughout high school and never had a problem. would really appreciate your help. thanks!</p>
<p>only rarely do I use sparknotes, but I remember a few years ago for English I had to read the Iliad. I read a few books (chapters) at the beginning of the semester. A few months later when I wanted to pick up where I left off, so I figured I’d read the Sparknotes summaries of the books that I’ve read. But on many occasions plots are misinterpreted, important details left out, concepts misconstrued…you name it.</p>
<p>I recall the analysis sections of Sparknotes were pretty satisfactory though.</p>

<p>I think Sparknotes is beneficial to learning insofar as you can still use your own brain to think critically. A good way is to try to form conclusions of your own first and then consult sparknotes, and compare the two analyses.</p>
