Banned and Burned Literature class?

Does anyone have experience with the "Banned and Burned" literature class by Wendi Reed at Big River Academy?  Thinking about enrolling my 11th grade son in it this spring.  Would love some feedback.

Thank you!

I can’t speak to that class, though I’ve been wondering about these lit classes. My daughter is in one of her composition classes this year and really enjoys it. The main thing I wonder about with the lit classes is that they seem mostly to use a chat box instead of the microphone for discussion. It seems like that would be so much slower and not as vibrant of a discussion than if the kids were actually able to talk with one another. I understand that sometimes limiting things to a chat box might be helpful (like in the Comp class), but for discussion of books, it seems like “real” discussion might be more beneficial and enjoyable. That said, maybe they talk in the classes more than I’m aware of by watching the sample videos on the website. 

My student does enjoy this teacher though - very much!
