Comment:
Loved every minute spent with her. Yes, she does expect your best efforts. Tough grader? That's her job - you will become a better writer; good grammar and precise language. Participate with enthusiasm, best efforts: pass with flying colors. I was mortified when I received my first graded essay-so I asked her how to improve it; she was very helpful

19C Am. Lit - Chilly teacher - got as far away from the class as possible as she stood in front to lecture - no room for any interpretations of the literature that did not agree with hers. She knows her stuff but she is far from warm and fuzzy. Not terribly inspiring. Too bad.

Comment:
She really is not a nice lady. She says one thing and if you don't quote her exactly on tests she marks it wrong...hello, notes are not supposed to be ver batem!! She told me to drop the class after the first test instead of asking if I wanted to speak with her or ask for extra help. She sucks.

Ugh. She has zero passion for the material, only wants to hear her interpretation of literature-even when she's completely off base-and seems to detest students. Take this class if you want to learn what not to do as a professor.

Comment:
Okay, don't expect an easy grade. She assigns easy readings, but asks bizzaro questions and if you don't know the answer than she hates you. Don't be late and don't get up to pee during class either. And no matter how much you participate, she won't give you credit for it. Her tests seem easy, but you must say exactly what she says in class

Read the assignments; write well. It is a 400 level course, and it demands alot. But the novels are excellent, and the discussions great.

Her grading is bad. I went from getting a 98 on one test to an 80 on the next. Its all based on if you agree with her EXACTLY. Don't take her if you want above a B because you won't get it no matter how hard you try shell find something wrong ALSO she calls on random people and if u dont know the answer to her question, she assumes you didnt do it

Comment:
Don't think, don't analyze, don't have an opinion, kiss her ass, become her programmed robot, learn nothing, and consider yourself lucky if you get anything above a B. How she's still allowed to teach is beyond me, butthis class is a waste of time, money, energy, and valuable brain cells. Do yourself a favor and take someone else, anyone else.

Comment:
I found this course to be very boring and unexciting due to the lack of knowledge and enthusiasm of the professor. The professor was very tough with grading and did not like it when you disagreed with her. I was given a bad essay grade because she did not agree with my opinion. Very boring class= she should definitely retire-

How she is still being allowed to teach is beyond me. Her essay questions do not relate to the book. She treats her students like 5year olds. We discussed the book after the essays were due! Totally unhelpful and boring.

Comment:
Her classes are not for the timid or those who do not like to talk in class, you will be graded highly on participation. If you don't want to work really hard or participate a lot then avoid her. She is a tough grader but I suppose it makes you a stronger writer in the end.

Teaches almost entirely from notes, and cannot teach without them (proved when she left them in her office). A tough grader, but this is beneficial since you will be forced to make improvements. Non-traditional essay assignments are given. Dont get too discouraged by your grades.
