Comment:

She's super caring and I barely read. Her grading is a bit tough and random, but if you show that you care she'll bump up your final grades (I don't know if I deserved it). Ended up with a A, super nice. Still need to do some work but not a crazy amount.

I knew I'm gonna love her when I had the first lecture. To be honest, she is really a good prof, though I don't think it's an easy A for international students. But if you try hard, she can sometimes give you exceptions and make your efforts worthy. She is good at teaching and has a clear syllabus to follow. LOVE her and wanna TAKE HER AGAIN!

Comment:

Prof. Davies is so very nice, highly respectable, LOVES her field. It's mostly discussion and speaking up in class is very important to her. PRO TIP: youtube performances of the plays you're reading. It will save you--the content is actually really interesting and is easier to absorb and talk about in class that way.

Comment:

Professor Davies is awesome. She gets really excited about the material and makes students excited too. She encourages particpation and there is reading but it's a pretty light courseload. And she's not at all a tough grader. She's really great and I wish I could take her class again!

I feel like just three tags isn't enough to describe what an amazing professor Davies is. She is passionate about the material and her love for it shines through and gets students excited for the readings. SO helpful if you go to office hours. Just an amazing teacher and person. Words cannot encompass how much I adore her.

Comment:

Davies obviously is super passionate about the material and really wants her students to share that passion. She's super caring and wants everyone to do well. There's a lot of reading but if you do it and take notes in class the essays and exams should be pretty easy. You definitely will not regret taking her class.

Comment:

Prof. Davies is your standard "above average" professor. She knows her stuff, knows how to teach it to you, and genuinely wants to help you succeed. Readings were fine in CF1, but you need to do them to gain anything from the class. Overall, if you care about learning you'll do fine, and Prof. Davies will like you.

Comment:

As long as you show up, and make sure to reference back to the material of the class in both your essays and exams, the class should be an easy A. She is very profound in knowledge, and exceptionally well-spoken. The readings are easy. Not much homework, and the midterms and finals are pretty easy. Go to class.

She's one of those professors that will take the extra time to meet up with students outside of class to give extra help on a paper or just talk.

Prof Davies is good, insightful, but sometimes intimidating. Grammar matters a lot; it lowered my grade from A- to B+. Overall, I enjoyed her class! You have to work for it! Btw you have to buy the book or she might call you out

I took Professor Davies for my CF II requirement. Exceptional teacher, very informed about the material w tremendous insight. Aim isn't to suffocate students with work, rather it's to make sure that students are well-informedabsorb the material. Definitely take her if you have the chance. Assignments pretty easy, take- home midterm. No regrets!

Comment:

Took her as a freshman for a core class. It was alright; she could get a bit strict and sassy at times in a way that wasn't too funny. But, she is a fair grader and teaches well. Never looked forward to her class but never resented it either. Wouldn't recommend but wouldn't bash.

Prof. Davies is a great lecturer and she's very helpful on assignments and papers--just make sure you book office hours ahead of time. She makes class interesting and the material she picks for the class is always interesting. Just be ready to participate. Always cheery and kind yet still commands respect. Definitely would take her again.

She's wonderful. I took her 20 years ago for a Humanities workshop, and her passion for the material is not only contagious but extraordinarily helpful. Highly recommended.

Easy EASY A. All I did was interpret works, make stuff up and wrote it well. A lot of classes revolve around no reading "art interpretation" days. And all she really wants is participation and good ideas. You don't even have to really read - as long as you know the plots.

Nice Professor. No technology. Reasonable Readings. Easy Essay topics - lenient grading. You must PARTICIPATE so attendance is mandatory. Enjoys students going out of their way for traveling assignments. Easy A. I would take her again in a heartbeat.
