Although I did get a chance to read some good books in this class, it was not worth my blood sweat and tears. I understand having homework and doing assignments outside of class, but this was so over bearing! Nice lady, but a terribly time-consuming class.

You can pass easily. However, there are a lot of group projects and many different assignments going on at once!

Anita really gives you a lot of homework. You have to be willing to work hard otherwise you won't pass. She is honestly very helpful if you just ask. I didn't like her Creating Culture Project but I believe that the reason for assigning it is good. It was definitely the hardest class I took my first semester. Work hard and it will pay off.

Anita definitely makes you work for your grade, but she is more than willing to help if you need it. Just go in and talk to her. I feel like most of the other reviews are from students who think they can just show up to class, sign an attendance sheet, and pass. She actually gets you involved with creative hands on assignments.

I would rather have froze in a blizzard than attend her class. We had to interview 3 people on our own time. They did not relate to anything. The Alchemist was a good book. The only paper we did that taught us anything was the research paper.

Comment:
Took Lorentzen for 101 last year and enjoyed the class material, but it was a lot of busy work for assignments. Don't take one of her classes if you're not willing to share about your life because she'll try to pry details out to get you to be a more "descriptive" writer. Foreign Student project was a joke too. I made up a lot of it.

Don't take her class worst class I have ever taken. Unorganized, tons of busy work, and the creating culture project was a joke. How does spending time outside of class with a foreign exchange student have anything to do with English.

Worst English teacher ever. She gives you her "requirements" and then still tells you that you are doing everything wrong. Most confusing teacher ever. Doesn't even go by school guidelines. This is an undergrad course yet she grades it like Grad level.

If you're looking for a class on Irish Lit, don't take it with her. It was more of a history class than anything. There were quizzes almost every class, and the final was awful. We didn't a test--we had to write a PLAY about Irish history, use costumes, and write a song for it, too. Then you either had to video tape it or act it out for the class.

TERRIBLE. Absolute scatter brain. Never explains tings very well. Useless time consuming busy work is done all the time. Always looking for a "bigger meaning" and will constantly change your words to match hers when you are writting an essay. If your thoughts don't match hers, you are wrong.

Nice professor, but she demands a lot of work that seems unneccessary. Some of the assigments are helpful but at the same time ridiculous on amount of work required. She will talk the ENTIRE time til she has used every minute of class.

Compaired to what I heard about other English classes, this one seemed easy. She graded easily but had a lot of papers and projects that she didn't explain well at all.

She was expected too much on a project and the most of the groups got a letter grade lower because we did not do it perfect. Liked Tuesdays with Morrie, but she expected us to mark it all up every time and she expected the same with the text book.

Anita is one of the worst teachers at UNK. She loves to hand out busy work and assigns useless homework.

This teacher is very unorganized and crazy. We had to visit a nursing home each week on our own time and didn't get extra credit for it. She gives lengthy and unnecessary assignments.

This class was very easy. Some assignments were different than what I was used to for an English class. I would take her again!
