Comment:

She is the most caring person. Although I didn't do well on my papers, I did learn a lot from her lectures and class discussions. I like the atmosphere that she encourages everyone to participate and talk about each other's thoughts for New Yorker tales. Highly recommend her.

Quality course and instructor. Most valuable course I took in my 4 years as a finance major. Be engaged and unafraid. This class will make you a better writer if you put forth the effort.

GRADE = 2 papers, 2 exams, participation. Got a B and B+ on both papers. C+ on midterm, probably A or A- on final exam, probably A on participation. Gave me a straight-up (A) for a final grade. Take her.

Professor Hassett. The Best Teacher at Fordham I've had yet. She was the real reason why I decided to minor in English. I took her "The Poet's Choice" class. Such an amazing experience. The poetry she picks is amazing. Your critical reading skills improve. You become a better writer. One of the best in the English Department. 5/5 stars. Love!!

Comment:

Fantastic professor! Dynamic personality, Diane Keaton in real life! Understanding, intelligent, encouraging, and full of stories! Everyone needs to speak at least once per class. 1 midterm, 1 final, 5 1-page papers, 2 five-page essays. Paper topics were interesting and readings came from The New Yorker Magazine. I'd take her again in a heartbeat!

Comment:

Professor Hassett is honestly my FAVORITE teacher thusfar at Fordham. I am a science major and was not excited for all of our core requirements, but for her New Yorker Tales, I fell in love with English again. She is beyond nice, helpful and extremely charismatic. Also a very fair grader. Got As on tests and Bs on papers, ended up with an A-.

A very passionate and intelligent professor. She has a quirky kind of approach and she emphasizes class discussion. She's very sweet and doesn't require too much work but can be a little spacey. Interesting course.

Comment:

Texts & Contexts- Hassett was my Manresa professor and freshman advisor. NYC Writers focuses on contemporary writers, which isn't my thing, but it was still an enjoyable class. Emphasizes discussion. Assigns weekly prompts- not graded but she leaves encouraging comments. Grade based on 2 papers, midterm, and final. Very talkative and open. =)

This woman is FABULOUS. The woman really knows her stuff and even though Modern American Poetry isn't really my thing, she made the class great. Do the work, pay attention, and if you have the opportunity, TAKE HER!!!

Comment:

Hassett is one of those professors that is in love with their subject. She is very approachable with any questions you have. Only problem I can say is you can be a bit unsure as what your grade is in the class and you write a lot (to be expected though).

Comment:

Dr. Hassett was a great teacher, and I honestly looked forward to her class everyday. She definitely likes to talk A LOT, which can be good or bad - depending on your state at the time. She grades fairly on 2 papers, a midterm and final. Overall, this particular class was not a brain-buster, and it was enjoyable.

Comment:

Good reading material, she explains them well. Every other class you write up a 1 pg paper on an assigned topic for the reading-either a short story (this yr's book was the O Henry Prize Stories 2005- very good) or poem (Collins' '180 more')- weren't hard reads or write-ups- but she is a hard grader on the midterm & final. there are also 2 papers. dont worry about going to the poetry readings, you don't really have to.

Comment:

She's a nice lady. One of those professors that loves what she teaches. She can be a misleading grader at times though, meaning that you might think you're doing well when your real grade is a C+. But she's a good enough teacher. Prepare to write. A lot.
