Comment:

I took Professor Conner as an English Elective class, more specifically Vampires in Literature and Arts Class. Participation is 50% of your grade with no papers, only a midterm and a final. Attendance is mandatory and she will call you out if you do not participate, so basically come to class knowing your stuff and you will do fine.

Comment:

Professor Connor is a brilliant teacher, and she's extraordinarily knowledgeable. She likes her students to perform to the best of their ability, and while she did grade my papers kind of harshly, it was ultimately judicious. She has snapped at some of my classmates before, but overall, she was great in the classroom and I would highly recommend.

Comment:

While Prof. Connor is probably one of the most intelligent English profs at Hunter, she is not without flaws. She gets annoyed easily and can be downright rude to students, but then she can be extremely nice. Her grading is tough for such short one page papers, and she canceled class a lot more than students are even allowed.

Comment:

Horrible and very condescending. She doesn't care about anyones opinion but her own. She gives a lot of pop quizzes and will make you feel crappy about yourself. If you don't participate she will tell you to drop her class. She's very rude & definitely plays favorites in the classroom. One of the worst english teachers I have ever taken at Hunter.

Tough grader, because she expects you to turn in your best work and improve on it. Though she strays from the syllabus and it drives some people crazy, she has the ability to always keep a lecture going. I find that time flies in her classes because we never run out of topics. She's a bit wacky, but I would recommend her class to everyone.

She is the only professor I ever truly wanted to rate on ratemyprofessors cause she is THAT great. She's very funny and reminds me of a more neurotic Helena Bonham Carter (whom I love!) Oh yeah, her class is pretty fun as well. Never a dull moment with this one.

Amazing professor. Extremely insightful and very helpful - as long as you go to her for help. She is very willing to help. She isn't an easy grader, but she definitely helps improve your writing. Makes the class so much more interesting than it would be. Great professor; you should definitely take her.

Comment:

Professor Connor is hilarious and an extremely intelligent individual. I always loved listening to her ridiculous stories about life that she always seemed to somehow tie into the lesson. She always made the class interesting with her wacky, neurotic tendencies. There wasn't a lot of work throughout the semester, but she expects class participation

Comment:

the best professor ive had at hunter. she is simply amazing. very accessible and helpful; worth a visit to her office where you can speak with her one-on-one. she breaks down the material in an entertaining way. not much reading; spend 1-2 classes per reading to ensure clarity. I'm sad the semester is over!

Maybe the best professor I have ever had. She's passionate, intelligent, and extremely helpful. I knew I loved 18th Century Lit going into her class, now I am even more certain. Her quirkiness is quite endearing,to tell you the truth. She has no patience for slackers, nor should she.

I registered this class thinking how much I'm going to hate it because it is simply not in my field of interest. However, Prof. Conner makes the class interesting and draws you into the subject. Her enthusiasm is infectious.

Comment:

I was initially thrown off by all the (admittedly mostly accurate) neuroses she harbors, as described by other students. But look beyond her dislike for pen-tapping and hats and she is a wonderful, intelligent, respectful, and honest teacher and person. Her papers are short and very straightforward and she doesn't give difficult work. Love her.

I can't believe that someone here has used the word "nice" as a descriptor of Professor Connor. I hated coming to class because she was so moody and mean. Take her course if you enjoy being mistreated.

She is a tad OCD but I love her to death. She was my favorite class this semester. There were only like ten of us in class so it was really nice. This little intimate calss she let us talk and as long as we found textual evidence we were cool.
