Comment:
I'm writing this rating after taking two courses with Susan. One of which was a fourth level seminar course, so I got to know her pretty well as a professor. I learned a lot from her but I don't know if she stopped to learn anything from us. Perhaps she has been in the department for too long. She grades low if ideas aren't precisely on point.

Extremely intelligent woman. Intimidating at first, but her course was well worth the fantastic material and insight she provided. I fell in love with every text she chose! Possibly the brightest prof I've had, with definitely the best vocabulary.

Comment:
This last rating was mine and I must say I was very much wrong. She's an incredibly intelligent woman and teaches very strategically. My initial rating was ignorant of a lot of things and I would recommend her. Specifically of importance to note is that she's teaching a difficult subject to teach. I was wrong in a lot of things. She showed me.

Comment:
She is very much wrong on a very many things and yet she refuses to see otherwise. If a student raises an interpretation of a poem she will almost always immediately start her response with the word "no." If you do not share her opinion--you are wrong. Apparently there is no symbolism in poetry--everything is literal... Be warned.

Comment:
She is definitely a hard marker and I agree that she sticks to her opinions and they do influence her marking. However, she is a fairly nice lady and seems to be passionate about poetry, just stay on her good side and try your best.

Comment:
If you do not share her opinion then you will be wrong and therefore get a bad grade in the course. Her grades are inconsistent and the books that she chooses for her courses are not worth reading. I generally love english courses, however, she made this course unbearable. I agree with the other comments in saying that she is a terible prof.

Comment:
After taking this english couse with S.Ingersoll I never want to take another english course with her every again. She does not respect the opinions of her students and is very hard to communicate with. My average english mark is around a 73% and in her course I have 51%. I would not advise anyone to take a course with her.She is a negative person.

Comment:
she seems very intelligent and certainly knows what she is talking about. however, she isn't very flexible with another person's interpretation of a text if it differs from her own, and she is an extremely tough marker. i liked her. i feared her grading my papers

Ok. I am a fourth year engligh major. I took my 2001 course with her not adhering to the comments on this site(though I did read them)...All of these comments are true. This lady is unreal! You will not pls her. Out of the 40 people in that class only one did she like and listen to. Everyone else was wrong. My avg eng mark is 70%. with her 51%.

Comment:
Taking a class with this teacher made my mark drop over 30%. Usually teachers will give some marks if you back up your argument. If you disagree with what she thinks she writes words like Nonsence on your paper. Worst teacher Ive had at mun. Very boring. Your opinion doesnt count. Stay as far away as possible unless you enjoy failing.

Lovely. Passionate about her work but not dictatorial. There's a lot of "she's a bad prof because I got a bad grade" comments here, what can I say? If you give her something, you'll get it back.

Don't EVER take a course with her. Because of her I almost quit my English degree after first semester. Her opinion is the only one and she'll hate you if you're not like her... a poetry reading babble mouth! If you value your Uni experience and you want an English degree, STAY AWAY!

Comment:
This woman only teaches because she loves to hear the sound of her own voice. She marks based on how well you relate HER opinions back to her, if not, you fail. She shouldn't be allowed on the campus, let alone teaching. Horrible ****.

Comment:
I didn't find that she was too hard of a marker. Her classes were fairly interesting, but she doesn't mind telling you when your wrong. Your best bet is to sit there and take it, don't fight back cause it won't be pretty.
