Comment:

I really like Dr. Pike as a person and she is very intelligent, but this class was so disorganized and unclear, it drove me insane. Our grade was based on 4 assignments, which all had incredibly unclear criteria, and whenever you asked her about it, she would change something. Has potential to be such a neat class, but not executed well.

Comment:

Dr. Pike drove me insane. She is so unorganized and you never have any idea what she's going to lecture about. She grades based on what she wants but doesn't specify in the assignment. It feels like she just pulls the assignments out of her ass. It's the end of the semester and I have absolutely no clue what my grade in the class is.

Comment:

Very intelligent lady, but she goes off topic often and very lecture heavy. No PowerPoints or handouts, so you have to listen very carefully. I would only take her if you are an English major, because she is tough! Also, be prepared to read for her class! I don't think I would take one of her classes again, but she really does know her stuff!

I've taken her multiple times and I love her. She lectures everyday with powerpoints, and his hilarious. She keeps class fun. She will work with you and is very helpful when she does. She grades fairly, and she gives out her grading guidelines. You have to come to class and put in effort to pass.

Comment:

Definitely hated her the first two weeks. I really believed she was racist and self-righteous but this is far from true! She is a lovely professor, has an odd but enjoyable sense of humor and really cares about student's progression. She also tries to accommodate to everyone's needs. Takes some time to warm up to her by I love her so much!!

Dr. Pike is a great teacher. She really cares about every student and forces you to think deeply about everything. I didnt mind her tangents because they were often interesting and about real world issues.

I absolutely love her class. Sometimes she may seem to go off topic, but in the end everything is related and makes sense. She seems to really care about her students and wants them do be the best that they can.

Worst English professor i have ever had in my entire life. Very unorganized, and unprofessional. She is a very hard grader, and always gets off topic. I would avoid her if you can.

Comment:

Looking at the other reviews has me thinking that maybe she was just having a hard semester but my experience in Pike's Brit Lit course was horrible. She was extremely unorganized, went on long tangents about her family, and the instructions for assignments were not clear at all. She also lost hard copies of a few of my assignments-along withothers

Comment:

Dr. Pike is so intelligent. When I first began the course, I was like great, another English course; but I've learned so much and she's opened up new horizons, I had never I even knew I cared for. She is funny, keeps it relative, but yet you learn so much about past and present things. I would greatly recommend you take this course!

Such a crazy, intelligent, little woman. You have to work hard but you learn so much.. At the beginning of the semester you'll think she's annoying but by the end you will want to kiss her feet, she opens your eyes so much to the world around you. what you learn improves your work in all of the classes. Awesome professor.

Dr. Pike cares so much for what she teaches, and wants all her students to understand and excel. If you ask questions in class, she is happy to answer for you. You can't be afraid to speak up! Be prepared to take a lot of notes, but if you take good ones, the exams will be a breeze. Would recommend!

Professor Pike is going to push you to your highest potential. She is very particular in what she looks for causing the class to be extremely hard to begin with, but as time goes on you grow and it becomes easier. She has a lot of character and isn't afraid to speak her mind. She's an amazingly intelligent woman that will help when you do your work

Comment:

I am a psych major but taking this class has made me consider majoring in English or minoring. She has been one of my favorite and best professors. She wants to see you succeed but you have to be willing to work for it. She is exciting funny and never boring which is rare for a lit class. She is extremely helpful when it comes to writing papers and preparing for exams. I recommend meeting with her at least twice before turning a paper in. LOVE HER!

I dread this class so much. She is funny and has passion to help up learn, but I and NOT an English major and expects to become experts at literature. My analysis is never good enough.

Dr.Pike is hands down the best professor I have ever had in all my years of school. She is hard and makes you work for your grade, but is ALWAYS willing to help. She uses humor, wit, and sarcasm to make her class the most interesting it can be. She is super intelligent and you can tell she actually loves what she is teaching. Highly recommend her.

This class is hard. Extremely hard, to the point that it makes my brain hurt, but you will learn an incredible amount from this woman. Learned more history in this class than all my other history classes combined. She is sweet, quirky, hilarious, and I have no idea why she isn't teaching at Yale. Amazing teacher.

This was a 300 level course, and the workload was consistent with such. Dr. Pike is an enthusiastic teacher who cares about the progress of her students. Take her if you genuinely want to learn to improve your analytical and writing skills. You won't be disappointed.
