Comment:

She can be all over as far as what she wants in class and on the exams. For all exams and essays for the Women in Lit. course, find out what and how to take them. There was alot of material and you better read it or it won't help your final grade. If you're not an English major, don't take this course. If you are, still don't take this course.

Comment:

Carol is nice as hell but she's also scatterbrained and difficult to follow. I never knew if what I was writing down was actually necessary. Also, for her Victorian Underworlds class she assigned us six novels (four of which we had to read) which was stressful, considering we have other classes. Her grading was also all over the place.

Comment:

She really, really loves Victorian lit. and the macabre which makes her kinda hot. She assigns a lot of extra reading that would help with essays and ideas. I kept them because they were really interesting. She's available for help and not condescending. However we read too much for the amount we analyzed. Take her, but go to class and read.

Comment:

Probably the best, most helpful professor I have ever had. I enjoyed going to her for extra help and she never made you feel like your thoughts were wrong and would help you reconstruct them so that they could be applied to a paper. She was beyond nice and approachable. She is passionate about what she teaches! She makes going to class fun.

Comment:

Dr. Davison's lectures are really clear and intriguing. Enthusiastic about what she teaches. Tests easy- terms, passage analysis, and short answers. Understanding of students' stress and needs-worked with class to make it less stressful (due dates, make-up assignments, less novels, final not cumulative ). Exceptional prof! Highly recommend!

I had Dr. Davison for topics: death to victorian lit and it was by far the best class and I have taken and hands down the best proff in the English faculty. She is so understanding and is willing to go the extra mile in order to see you succeed. She have my class an extensions for a paper twice! I highly suggest this proff.

Comment:

Topic was Monsters. Reading list was awesome, and Prof. Davison really knows her material and conveys it well. She loaded too much material to be covered, however, for a 200 course (I'm an Eng major and even I thought it was a bit heavy). Also, "attendance" marks didn't turn out to be actual attendance marks as you had to participate to get them...

Comment:

Seems approachable. But some days she seems to like you, other days she seems to dislike you very much. Extremely hard marker, and very inconsistent. She branches off to things that don't deal with the course and expects you to cover everything in your work, whether studied in class or not. She is an okay prof, but i wouldn't take her again.

Anyone who thinks she sucked clearly weren't paying attention or doing the work. Your not a baby anymore she doesn't have to hold your hand, the professor is there to deliver her material in a way that suggests you actually read the crap before going to class. This is UNIVERSITY time to grow up.

Comment:

She is highly disorganized and unfocused. She is also rude to students and has a complex when provided with other information that may be correct. Her methods are terrible, and made me dislike her and the class. She explains more examples then text, and her midterms are bogus.

A fantastic professor. She is very enthusiastic about the material. Amazing reading list for the class! She doesn't just give you a good grade for showing up, you have to work for it. That being said, she's very understanding when everyone does badly on something early on, and gives you an opportunity to make up for it. Fantastic woman & professor!

Comment:

She gave a midterm consisting of questions about a poem, THEN forced us to analyze it after she has already made us talk about it earlier for marks. She was a very hard marker and liked to branch off into different directions unrelated to the course.

Comment:

She killed my interest in Victorian Lit. Not only did she assign an insane amount of reading, she was a diabolical marker. She was also impolite, insulting students both in private and in front of the class. She was extremely unhelpful during office hours, giving advice consisting entirely of "you're wrong." Hope she gets her act together!

Comment:

Ms. Davison's brilliance cannot be ignored-in fact she can't quite get over it either. If you want to worship at Ms. Davison's altar instead of getting an education, then take one of her classes. Be prepared for a shining intellect that is marred by a gross lack of emotional maturity. Such pettiness, such arrogance!

Comment:

Tends to lecture at students, does not listen to opinions that differ from her own. Professor has obvious "favorites" in her class. Inconsistent marking.
