Professor Haddrell is quite lenient. Her papers are graded leniently. She is a kind and funny professor. Her homework is light. Participate and do the work. An A- to A is highly achievable.

an ACTUAL gem, Beth is not only a great professor but a great person as well. Her class was my first of the day on Wednesdays & it would honestly make me upset if I was running late. She always kept class interesting with her passion for the subject & her quirky humor. Very straightforward on how to get an A, show up & participate & you'll get an A

TBH wasn't interested in folklore at all, this class was a last minute choice, however Beth & her incredible passion really increased my interest! She's a fantastic professor, so funny and kind, and really wants to better her students. Absolutely take her class if you get a chance, she's a gem! Quirky, smart, HILARIOUS, and super super passionate!

One of my favorite teachers! She makes things relatable and talks about current events that keep you interested in what literature you're discussing.

Comment:

I am not one to participate much. I was in class everyday, handed everything on time, and received B+. Probably because I never raised my hand. Homework is not graded with a letter grade. It was clear what we needed in our portfolio since the first day of class. She offers a lot of feedback and is willing to help you outside of class if needed.

Beth is so hilarious! One of the best English teachers ever! Despite her humor, she gives really great feedback. She encourages participation. A real gem! One of my highlights of my first semester of college. I've never gone a day without laughing in her class. Downside is she's a tough grader, but her class is doable.

Comment:

Funniest Professor to date. I really don't understand the poor reviews; open book exams are too hard? Wants work to be cited? Blasphemy! It boils down to open book midterm and final, and two 6-8pg papers. Seriously, just make sure you show up, do the readings and are familiar with the text, if you fumble with the papers she lets you revise them

Comment:

She is an extremely amazing, individualistic professor, not pretentious-- not to mention that she is kind. Her exams are open book, and assigns two papers. Her lectures are humorous and enlightening. Professor Haddrell is both respectful and well respected, which says it all. I highly recommend her.

Comment:

Professor Haddrell is an awesome Professor. There is a lot of reading ... A LOT & be ready for two papers that are a minimum of 8 pages each. ON THE POSITIVE SIDE - she is fair and lets you re-do your papers. There is a mutual respect between herself and students, although I could have gone without some obnoxious students, OVERALL understanding.

Comment:

Beth gives a midterm, two papers, and a final. Occasionally she gives a few in-class writing assignments, and pop quizzes. She also makes students do a presentation on the 1st paper. She's easy to talk to, and can be hilarious. Unfortunately the way she grades isn't always clear.

Comment:

Beth can be very nice and funny, but she isn't always so clear about what she wants. Always include a works cited page (even if it's not a research paper), and indent paragraphs. She gave nice comments when we presented, but never gave us grades for them. She gives open book tests. Beth is very into what she's teaching.

Professor Haddrell is in all honesty one of the best professors I have eve taken in my entire life. She is completely laid back and very fun. She does value participation over attendance but that's not a signal not to come because she will be the highlight of your scheduled classes believe me. Take her class!

Comment:

Everyone who has her says she's "good" but from my own experience, it's hard for me to praise her when she didn't reply to my emails. And they were about the papers- which are a MAJOR part of the grade. That was horrible, and since I didn't get an answer, my paper's grade suffered the consequences. Not fair.

Comment:

Professor Haddrell is not only an excellent professor, she's a wonderful person. She makes Shakespeare interesting and her enthusiasm for the subject is infectious. She is very helpful with papers, offering multiple revisions, and the main homework is reading the plays. She's such a wonderful professor that she makes Hunter a better school.

Don't even bother with this one, she has the false pretense about being all cheery-dispositioned and then she'll give you a B on something that you've literally worked on for days.

An awful professor. She offers very little help with the papers unless you take the time to visit her office. Actually diminished my interest in the subject.

Comment:

If you're looking for an easy A, this class is definitely not for you. She assigns a midterm and final with very specific questions so u have to pay close attention to lecture. 2 papers which she lets u re-write but she's a very tough grader. Heavy use of shakespeare plays, can't pass the class if you don't read them. Good job at making shake inter
