Comment:

Professor Korn is knowledge and nice. She talks a lot, sometimes can be interesting but most of the time it can get boring. Attendance is MANDATORY. Only allowed a few absesnces. A lot of reading, class was fairly easy. Would take again, I recommend if you can stay awake.

Comment:

Gail is very tough, She has quizzes every week, lots of time you've gotta spend studying for. Classes, attendance is mandatory (large part of the grade), and usually her lectures are very boring. All classes function as: Go over homework, read chapter (literally she reads from the book), assign hw. Highly would not recommend going for Latin class.

Comment:

All she does is talk and discuss about the reading material. So you MUST read or else you won't understand ANYTHING and you'll pass out quicker than a light. The last thing you want is for her to catch you sleeping or on the phone. The material is actually quite interesting once you get a hang of it. READ and PARTICIPATE. Seriously.

Comment:

Tough grader, if you do the work there is plenty of opportunities for extra credit making it easy for you to get an A in the class. It's up to you. Latin is tough and if you don't do the busy work to practice (yes it can be boring) you won't pass. She is kind but tough teacher. Work hard and she'll love you. Participation encouraged not required.

Comment:

I took professor Korn for greek civilization and it was three hours of her lecturing.I never knew someone could be so knowledgable and talk without skipping a breath for that long. She givesquizzes at the beginning of every class so make sure you do the readings and also participate in class or else she makes the quizzes harder. Just try I got an A

Comment:

This class was torture. It was Women Journalists and Essayists and only had 6 people in it. You read essays and sections from about 20 novels, almost all of which are impossible to find cheap or online. Excessive busy assignments. However, if you go to every class and complete the assignments minimally you'll pass.

Comment:

Very nice professor. Never makes you feel dumb if you don't know something, she always encourages using the dictionary and looking things up to improve. It's a chapter a week with one quiz weekly. Not the easiest material but she does her best to make it better to understand. She's very passionate about Latin and etymology.

Very passionate about Latin, but makes constant mistakes in notes on board, so feel free to ask questions/correct her. Do the homework and you'll learn, but she offers no help to students with trouble, and the textbook is more helpful in learning the language.

Comment:

In order to pass her class actively particpate in discussions. Act like you care what she is talking about. Assigns alot of books to read be prepared. She doesn't assign many papers so grade relies upon a journal and participation. She cares alot about attendance so if you like to miss classes dont take her.

Comment:

she never ever stops talking. i had her for history (even though shes an english prof) and she assigned insane amounts of work for an undergrad class. she also takes class participation personally and gets upset if you dont speak up, even though she doesnt give you an opportunity to do so. avoid at all costs

Very Boring, gives students a tendency to fall asleep in class. Lectures are never ending. Difficult grader and critiques everything. If you are willing to work hard for a good grade, then she's ideal.

Comment:

Her lectures are horrible, really doesn't lead discussions anywhere that would allow you to explore the literary merit of a work or even important themes that should be discussed. Her one positive is that she had some very good comments on my essays which helped me a lot.

All she does is talk, talk and talk some more. Extremely boring Her grading system is awful. Her percentages added up to only 90%, and 20% is for class presentations which we didnt even do. She didn't complete half the work we were supposed to do. If you want a clueless professor take her.

Comment:

Very boring lectures...she hardly let us talk and by the time she did, we had forgotten what we were going to say. She is very passionate about a lot of books...my class wasn't on the ball for one book and she flipped! But she is easy as long as you stay on top of it.
