This class is very easy, although it is not very interesting. The professor is very nice, but not always clear on what she wants. You spend a lot of time journaling over children's books, you take quizzes online and there is one final project at the end.

The class is easy, and isn't exciting. All you do is read books. She has trouble remembering what she's done, and isn't clear at all during directions. It's difficult to understand her, but she's helpful.

She expects you to know exactly what is going on-without directions! Very confusing and rude when answering emails for clarifications on assignments that she never discussed in class. Take with someone else. Makes a fun class not fun.

Comment:
She is very flighty and expects you to be able to read her mind. The class would be easy but all her assignments are confusing and you spend most of your time trying to figure out what she wants. The class is a huge load of busy work. I didn't fell like I really learned anything! Take with a different professor!

EASY CLASS! But a waste of time. She is very flighty, can be RUDE when you don't understand. Busy work, but EASY. She is more than willing to help though. Easy grader. Just waste of time. She laughs to herself in the middle of nothing. She's so flighty.

Pretty easy class but she is a terrible teacher. all assignments are online and you have to figure them out yourself. If you ask a question about assignments she gets snotty and defensive and is not helpful at all. there is lots of busy work and tests are online so its not a super hard class, she is just confusing and annoying

Content Lit with this professor is the biggest waste of your time. She is unorganized and always right. She is never wrong and will not work with you. Every assignment is on WebCT and they are all ridiculous. Assignments explained on WebCT are not what she says in class. Class is unrelated and random to the book. DO NOT TAKE HER!

DO NOT TAKE! She is so confusing. The class might as well be on WebCt. SO FRUSTRATING! This would have been a very useful class w/ a different professor. She should not ever be allowed near a child. She was so weird and always talked to herself. Easy A/B, though.

Overall, the class is pretty interesting. There are weekly discussion circles which are pretty easy. There are occasional quizes that are easy since she gives you a SG that has everything on it. TAs long as you are on her good side, you should be just fine in this class!

Comment:
Mrs. Smith is soo confusing! she sends out emails after each class to clerify everything that she jumbled up at the end of class. I would have been better off if she would have stuck to just a web based class but she has it set up for both online assignments and in class discussion.

Comment:
The MOST confused person I have ever met! She has to send out an e-mail after each class to clarify what the assignment is because everyone is so confused at the end of class. Easy class...just a lot of busy work. Would recommend a different professor if possible just because of the amount of time spend doing homework.

Oh my goodness! Jackie is a very nice lady, but SPACEY! She forgets things, laughs, and talks to herself during class. She seems to think we arent supposed to have a break during night class. We havent gotten one yet. A lot of worthless busy work. Dont even bother emailing her a ?, youll get a very confusing answer. Easy class, but find diff prof!!

She not a mean person, but her class is kind of wacko. She forgets to explain things and tell you about assignments. Her grading is hard to figure out. You have no idea what your grade in the class will be, but all in all her class isn't all that bad.

Prof. Smith is not really easy, but you just do a little busy work. Her grading is easy. Tough to do poorly in her class
