Comment:

VICTORIAN POETRY is a great class that challenges you to think in new ways that expands your knowledge of the 19th cent. the assignments are very demanding and your thoughts/ideas are held up to a very high standard. sometimes it feels as though what you write is never what robson wants, which can be very exhausting/frustrating.

Comment:

Tough grader. Thought the class would be easy and didn't work to improve my writing as I'm not pursuing a degree in the humanities. If you're serious about becoming a better reader/writer/essayist, I would highly recommend her. Nice person and seems passionate and knowledgeable. Take your essays seriously. She is not impressed by stoned rambling.

Comment:

Lectures are always interesting and well organized. Likes class participation but it doesn't guarantee you a good grade. Tough marker but her suggestions will make you a better writer. Be prepared to put a lot of work into assignments if you want to do well. Essay/exam topics come directly from class discussion so read the books and go to class.

She expects a lot from students but you will learn more from her than any other English proff. Very helpful. She loves what she does.

This prof is archaic in that content and presentation need work--a lot of work--. Time to retire unless she could update her teaching style big time, really big time, Don't take.

HARD MARKER! That said, she's pretty knowledgeable. Hard to know what she wants at times. Don't take for a first year class.

Comment:

Her class is awful. Hardest marker i've ever had, very boring lecture. And don't disagree with her ideas when writing a paper. You'll get an F. She'll say you're reaching from the text. Avoid her class.

Time to retire. I looove English but have been bored and sleeping due to lack of stimulating texts and content and way of getting the point across. When willl profs get with the program and be inventive, learning will grow exponentially.

Comment:

WOW! Amazing lecturer but horribly hard marker, she seems receptive to new and different ideas but even when a student has support to back up their claims if it isn't the same as hers you will do badly! BE CAREFUL when taking one of her classes...be prepped for a lot of work and not so great of mark in the end!

Comment:

Tip: Write down EVERYTHING she says, except for those topics that she repeats over and over (just put a star beside it). I know its a little geeky, but you probably should reread your notes and rewrite them to fully understand. HARD MARKER! You'll be sucessful if you agree wuth her.

Last class she said "sure" 79 times. Emphasizes words to the point where you can't even stand to listen to her talk. Emphasizes S's --soo annoying.

Fair marker, clear lectures, helpful comments. Pro-feminist theory (I'm male). If you're a real English student you'll like her.
