Comment:

A couple of years ago now, but I remember the course and the prof. She was very engaged with the material and conveyed her own interest powerfully. Hilary was a big influence on me: now I want to go to grad school. Great sense of humour and notion that ideas are important. Too bad she has left UBC.

Great prof. Makes the material seem interesting even when it is not w/ the exception of James Joyce (but I don't think anyone could make his work interesting).

Her class was an excellent intoduction to upper level English at UBC. She gave you a very clear idea of what was expected and then the knowledge to attain that. I feel like I owe her big time.
