Professor Sadre-Orafai has been my favorite instructor at KSU. She is so brilliant, talented, and genuinely passionate about poetry. If you put in the effort, she will help you grow and improve as a writer. Definitely take her if you want to push against your comfort zone.

Comment:

Be prepared to type a lot of papers. Drafts due each week, following reviewing and editing two of your classmates' papers. Rubric is always provided and detailed. Make sure to reach the page requirement and stray from grammatical errors and you'll be fine. She is quick at responding to emails if you have any questions.

Comment:

I've always enjoyed the writing process, but research papers and MLA aren't my cup of tea. Lucky for me, I got to take Prof. S. As long as you do all of the readings, research (choose a topic you really love - or you'll regret it), and copious amounts of editing, you should do fine. The peer reviewing saved my sanity, as did the class's structure.

This professor is amazing. She gave excellent feedback on all assignments, and will help you with anything. My writing definitely got better bc of this class. She replies to emails quickly, and is very thoughtful. Although it was online, I felt like the student-teacher interaction was better than it being in-class. Take her if you get the chance!

Best teacher/class I've had at KSU. She gives great suggestions with what to do with your work. Offers students help when they ask for it and tells them the truth when they need to hear it. If you don't show up to class you will pass but you will miss out on a lot. Don't get your feelings hurt if she doesn't like your work, just keep an open mind.

Comment:

She is a great teacher, but prepared to write. She will tell you upfront that she believes that writing is the way to get better at writing. You will write 2 drafts for each paper during the semester, with a final and 3rd draft for a final portfolio. Be sure to read the textbook and all materials provided by her and you will do fine.

She is a great teacher! This was my first online class. She clearly states the assignments and if you have questions, she responds quickly. As far as discussions, there are none besides introducing yourself the first day. As long as you do the essay, you get a 100, same with all other assignments. Easy easy A.

Comment:

Awesome teacher for discussing the literature that is required to read. She gets people involved and takes everyones opinion into consideration. However, the 4 papers that you have to write on the literature are graded very harshly, and no matter how hard you try they never seem to live up to her expectations. Blog posts & 2 easy tests.

She is very helpful and quick to respond to emails. 4 Major projects & a few small assignments. All assignments are graded based on if you turned it in or not except final portfolio. Final Portfolio 60% of your grade includes 3 final drafts. Would recommend taking this teacher especially online!

Comment:

Your poetry will not receive a good grade unless you write poetry the way she wants you to. I received a good grade in her class however, it would have been higher if I had been a mindless person and bowed to her request and edited my poems to sound the way she wanted it. At some point you have to recognize critique & just being her puppet.

She only thinks that her opinion matters and if you try to write poetry in her class she thinks that it has to be as good as hers and not anything else.

She is awesome. Her class is very straight forward and is easy if you do the work. There's no textbook, but you have to read the texts she picks. I really enjoyed her class and her tests were pretty easy. Take her!

She tells you what she wants, and she grades fairly. The class was straight forward and well enough, but I just didn't like her. Something about here I just didn't like.

Comment:

Do not take her. She is condescending even through an email. She is not open to new ideas and is stubborn. Makes students use Galileo which is a pathetic database. This is the second time I've taken this class with her which was the biggest mistake. Professors are supposed to help not make students feel inferior.

Fairly easy, simple, and typical 1102 class. So glad I took online. She is organized, responds promptly to e-mails, and has everything laid out very clearly. I'd suggest going to the writing center wen working on final drafts. I think this is why I got an A. Highly recommend.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Attendance is not mandatory but if you want to understand anything in the course you need to attend class. Wide range of course material (world lit) and her in class discussions legitimately make you think. Out of 8 books read 4 require essays. 2 tests and in class participation points are rewarded.
