Great professor. If you don't do the reading you won't like your grade much.

Comment:

One of my favorites. Great conversations in her classes and wonderful debates. You have to read the material and know what's going on. She's annoyed by students who don't try and expect to be spoon fed. I don't blame her. So am I.

Professor is nice enough but simply falls below par on her ability to teach. It is obvious she has a passion for the books but lacks the ability to relate to students.

Comment:

She is nice but she is a little crazy. We wasted alot of time on a couple books. We didnt cover everything I thought we would. She was very scatterbrained some days, but she is really nice. She can actually be pretty funny and cool. She likes to catch up on modern lingo.

Comment:

Enjoyed the literature and discussions. She's not very prepared--doesn't respond to e-mails right away, forgets to bring things to class, hands back papers with comments late. she skipped class a lot and did not follow the syllabus--never really knew what assignment was going to be. but she is clever and funny.

Comment:

I agree with the hypocrite comment. If you are not 1) A woman, or 2) an English major do not expect a fair grade in this class. She is a great person (outside of class) but very ambiguous and unclear in her comments. Her expectations for English majors are low and for non-majors is ridiculous. Would recommend the class, but only for the readings

Comment:

A total hypocrite! She has one set of rigid expectations for students and a very lax set for herself. She takes forever to grade papers, and she skips class all the time. She thinks she's better than everyone else

Amazing person and professor!! The reading can be difficult, but she presents everything in a way that allows the students to formulate their own opinions. While is she is busy, she will is incredibly helpful!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!

Will she please just retire? She skips class all the time, and half the time she's there, she's in a bad mood. She's never available in her office.

Comment:

It is true she does really enjoy group work and class discussion. She doesn't say a whole lot because I believe she takes English as not a right and wrong subject but as something that is debatable and always changing. Her classes aren't easy and you do need to do well on her papers to get an A. Show up to class and PARTICIPATE! She was my fav :)

Comment:

She's pretty awesome. Contrary to prior statements, I found that she was actually very creative, and a lot of fun to have a class with. I have been in multiple classes with her, and I think that if you have to take an english class, you should take it with her.
