Love her. She is so kind and sweet. You can pass her class with flying colors just simply by doinggg the work. Take her class, she inspires students to actually appreciate literature. Class is composed mostly of short stories, with 2 short novels thrown in. Definitely take her class.

She can be boring, she tends to ramble on about nothing but she loves what she does. She is very very nice and will let you rewrite papers for extra credit. Definitely knows what she's talking about. Not too much work and helps a lot.

LOVED Dr.Mandl- she is one of my heros- I have a true appreciation for lit. and her to thank for that. But your right, she is loosing her hearing- and she tends to ramble- but you've never read womens lit. until you've read it w/ her.

She's the reason I changed my major to English. Sweet, caring - she really does love her students, interested in what she's teaching, extremely compassionate. One of the best professors at Suffolk.

She can read the hell out of poetry. Seriously, if you're ever bored in her class just bring up a random poet and she will read an hours worth of his/her poetry in the next class. She also lets you decide on the format of the final.

Comment:

Worst teacher I ever took I can't believe ppl like her! I went for extra help and she told me I just didn't read the material so she didn't want to help me when in actuality I read it and she wouldn't give me a chance. Hardest grader I've had and you learn NOTHING in her class except how to drop your GPA. Beware of Eng. majors vouching for her!!!

She can't hear a word anyone else in the class says and has a tendency to talk about things that have nothing to do with the class. Do not even look at the syllabus because she changes it constantly

Very nice lady. But speaks so low that if you haven't cleaned your ears you'll think you've gone deaf.
