Comment:

Dr. Tilghman knows enough to teach what she has to teach. She's really easy to listen to and presents the content in a straightforward and professional manor. However, the content she presents does not give a very broad sense of the world of literature. Test wise, be prepared to identify passages.

She's super sweet and loves what she does and discussions about the content. you'll certainly enjoy the class, but watch out for her tests because she likes to try and trip you up on what you thought you knew, and there are only a few grades in the class so it can hurt you. Love her though would take her class again if I could

Comment:

Not a bad professor. She is very intelligent & also very passionate. The class is pretty organized & can be challenging. I feel like she made the tests harder than necessary though. I showed up to class every day, took notes and also studied, but some test questions threw me off. Just pay attention & actually try. She's not a SUPER tough grader.

A LOT of reading. Six books through the semester. All I did was watch the movies on the last two books we read and made a good grade on my test, essay, and presentation. Very sweet professor. Would take again if looking for another easy A for my credits.

Comment:

I wanted to write an evaluation for Dr. Tilghman in response to another grad student evaluation that she doesn't give any information or feedback, as my experience was the exact opposite. She gave more information that many of my other graduate professors. She uses SoftChalk to post audio, videos, and notes; she responded to all discussion posts.

Mrs. Tilghman is a great professor! Our class met once a week, so most of the wrk was online. The information was very interesting and the material is very clear and easy to understand.

She is not a good online professor. First of all, she does not post ANY lectures, not a single recording. She tells us what book to read and what to write and email her. She is only in contact via the discussion forum. There is no help, and I haven't learned much. I've just read 6 books. She also marks your paper down for very small errors.

She's a very sweet professor! I throughly enjoyed her class, and the grades mostly consists of tests and quizzes, which aren't too bad. Study the review she posts online for the tests, and you should do great.

Dr. T is a great professor! Every other week we ended up finishing a short story. When I took her class, we also had to give a short story presentation, paper or project proposal, and a short presentation when showcasing the paper or project. Also, she only gives two tests. I enjoyed how relatable she is.

Comment:

One of the nicest and most helpful professors at this school. Quizzes and tests are extremely easy. There are 2 books that are read during the semester, I chose to only read the sparknotes and still did good on everything. Was always willing to work with students if they missed a quiz or if they had questions. Would take from her again.

Very educational class, but the reading is super heavy. If you don't keep up you will get left behind like I did.

Dr. T is a great teacher! I thought I would hate literature, but she made it much more interesting than it really is haha. She is enthusiastic, very nice, and helpful. If you study your notes, there's no reason not to make an A.

She is a very good teacher and if you actually pay attention and read what she tells you too and take notes, you are guaranteed at least a C, but it is NOT a blow off class and attendance is needed.

She is one of my favorite teachers this semester and she is very easy. I have to study for every quiz and test (and her tests are much harder than her quizzes) but it doesn't take long to study and the quizzes are easy. Read online overhead notes in addition to lecture notes because sometimes she leaves a few things out. Take notes!!!

Very helpful and understanding. Attendance is mandatory. A lot of memorization but a fairly easy class if you study. She does give quizzes but tells you what to expect ahead of time. Good teacher.

She was awesome to say the least. Bring a laptop to take notes with. She gives reviews in class, so studying is not really necessary if you can remember poems and take good notes.
