Comment:
Professor Starr is very sweet and caring. Her class is a mix of being easy and a little bit difficult. There's a ton of reading and writing but the writing assignments are pretty easy. If you show up to class, follow the rubrics she gives you, and do as well as you can on assignments you'll be fine.

Had her for Intro to British Lit. Lots of reading required, but just make sure to participate and put your opinions out there during class discussions. A lot of writing assignments, but she guides you along the way with multiple drafts and peer editing. Really sweet as a person.

Wicked nice, really helpful. A lot of reading and the class was incredibly boring. So many awkward silences when she asked questions because no one would respond, but overall an easy core class. I missed a few quizzes and still got a B-. Just make sure you do your reading responses and you'll pass.

She's really nice and helpful with the work. There was a lot of reading and a lot of writing, but it was never too much. The class was really laid back. I'd be happy to take another class with her.

She is kind and clearly cares about the subject matter. The class is not horribly hard nor horribly unbearable, however it can be a bit boring because she tends to reiterate over very specific details in the poems and books assigned.

She is not the best professor I have ever had... She is not too easy but not too hard either. British Lit is not a very interesting class and it seems hard for her to engage students at times, and she gives a lot of reading.

She is verrrry understanding... didnt try the whole year, but attended class regularly (except for amount of allowed absences) and still was on her good side. Pulled off a C+ without much effort and alot of BSing on papers. She does have you write alot; if you aren't a fan of writing steer clear because she enjoys deep and detailed essays

Don't do it. She babies her students like we're in middle school. You have to write multiple drafts for even the short papers. You have to fill out stupid worksheets for sources in your final paper. It's the only class i dread going to.

I loved her! she describes exactly what she wants in the papers you pass in, and is always there for extra help. I love her class, if your gonna take an english class you want it to be her. you'll deff want to go to the majority of the classes to get a good grade, but they arent boring at all and sometimes she makes the class cookies or brownies.

Kind of a quiet woman, but very very sweet. knows her stuff, very helpful, very clear. She has sort of a hard time getting an uninterested class to talk. I would definitely take her again, but maybe for a high level course.

She has been one of my favorite professors at westfield so far. Very nice, helpful, and a fair grader. She gives a lot of reading, but if you do it and listen in class it's not that hard. She has a lot of class discussion and she wants to hear everyone's opinion. I really enjoyed this class and this professor. I highly recommend her!

she's a really sweet, quiet, soft-spoken woman. hard not to like her even if you don't like english class. not too difficult and not too easy. just read and write papers and you'll do ok. she doesn't grade too hard. she likes a little class participation. shows movies to go with some of the stories which is helpful.

Took Major British Writers - Very easy if you do the work. Two papers, two EASY tests, and small writing assignments. Attendence is mandatory but it seemed like she cancelled a lot. Very approachable and friendly if you need help.

Boring put me to sleep every class. Very unhelpful in her comments about papers. Very poor class structure. A 300 Level Class book chat. If thats what I was looking for I would have gone to the public library. Aweful book choice, strange assignments. Weak ineffective professor.
