Comment:

This class was weird and easy. second semester did no reading just watched other students present. dr. skerrett is nice but i'm not sure i learned anything from her lectures. 50% of grade was based on one project turned in at the end of the semester.

Comment:

Simply brilliant! She is often supremely unconcerned with the mundane details of everyday college life so she comes off to many as unsympathetic to students' plights, but who cares? She is a genius attacking bigger problems than what classes you should take next year. Spectacularly eloquent and a beautiful thinker! Not to mention a snazzy dresser

Comment:

Lectured on how a book was in reply to something that occured 30 years after the book was published, 10 years after the author died. How she got tenure, I have no idea. Lecture is passing out a sheet of quotes and her talking but without offering content. No class struture. I keep waiting for the real prof Skerrett to show up, this one is a joke.

Really helpful. Loved tutorial. She's really pro-liberal, so conservative students will be disagreeing with her a lot. Evokes execellent discussion among students.

Comment:

Really sweet and supportive, tutorial was fun. Beware: I didn't feel well-guided with her as an advisor and it's easy to get an unbalanced courseload. AND be sure of your AP Credit! She told me I didn't have credit for Lit Analysis, suffered mindlessly in it, and discovere the day I got my grade in the course that I already had credit for it, ack.

I didn't like it as it was hard for me at first. But I have really learned a lot from this class. Her class is challenging.

Very willing to help and understanding. Sometimes assignments were unclear, but usually interesting. Class discussions were sometimes lagging or repetitive, but i don't think that was her fault.

Most memorable part of class was guest lectures and films. A good professor, but her lecture style (kinda like Bob Ross without the fro) can be a little boring at times.

Skerrett is opaque as opaque can be. Everything is about Christianity or Law.

Kathleen is pure joy. She knows what she's talking about, can explain herself and makes an effort to use students' ideas. If she doesn't get tenure, the college is even more ridiculous than I would have thought
