I enjoyed her class so much, she really got you invested in the work. I never would have fully grasped Jane Eyre without her insights, and I definitely wouldn't have completely understood An Eyre Affair without understanding Jane Eyre. I really enjoyed this class, and Dr. Ross was 100% the reason.

Comment:
One of my least favorite professors. Disorganized and directions were never clear. Asked for 5 page papers and then complained about how they weren't long enough. Figured out she wanted 7 pages instead and expected us to read her mind regarding that. Frustrating.

Excellent professor. I took this class a while back, and I clearly remember that there was a lot of reading in this class, but I learned a lot.

Dr. Ross is very knowledgeable. The books she chose for our class were interesting--even the ones I thought would've been boring. She is friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the Zoom conferences! She is expects a lot from you, but is a fair grader. Gives good feedback on written assignments. I would take her class again if given the opportunity.

Comment:
You MUST attend lectures and read the assigned readings. Records attendance, daily quizzes. Requires 5 comments throughout the week - made in class and on blackboard. This is not a blowoff class; however, with effort, an A is manageable. She seems cold at first but she will warm up as she gets to know the students.

Comment:
Dr. Ross is the worst teacher I have ever had. If you so much as bring up Christianity in class she shoots you down. She is very rude, and her grading is very strange. She is way too strict. I deplored her lit. appreciation class. DO NOT take any of her classes. Everyone I know says they cannot stand her. For your GPA's sake, don't do it!

Comment:
Dr. Ross is one of the rudest and most inconsiderate human beings I have ever met. She has unrealistic goals for her classes and requires "class participation", although the quality of your comment is not important. She was extremely hateful to several students in my class (not me), and I WOULD NEVER retake a class of hers.

Comment:
This class almost killed me. Then, on the final, she covered a novel we had never read in class, nor discussed except for a brief presentation made by grad students which hardly covered the material. Also, she's a big fan of assigning huge projects over spring break.

Comment:
Ross was a good teacher, it's just that I don't really like English classes. We had to read Frankinstein and a couple other books. If you don't read the books, it is ok, you can find cliff notes online that help you with the quizzes and tests. Attendence is a must bc there are lots of quizzes and class participation grades. I got a B in the class.

Comment:
Yes, this is a literature class but she gave such long reading assignments for every class because it meet 2 times a week. The assignments was like taking a second class. Do not take this class if you work full time you will never be able to keep up with all the reading and other assignments

Tests came straight from daily lectures. BlackBoard participation a must. Daily quizzes instead of attendance grades. Very clear on expectations, lots of review and help given online and in class.
