Comment:

Fitzgerald does not give A's. She gives hours of homework a week, tons of essays, a boring lecture. But, she really cares. Shes super sweet and understanding, but personally i would rather have a normal class. I have yet to meet a former student who has gotten higher than a B+. Good luck

Comment:

Gives reading or something to do every night. Need to do readings because of "quizzes" the next day that are easy assuming you did the reading. Not such a tough grader. 3 main projects, 2 revisions of those projects. Some classes are online. She's very good at responding to emails if there is something that you need help with or clarity on.

Comment:

Professor Fitz is one of the nicest Professors you will ever have. However, she is very unsure of what exactly she wants out of you and is also a very tough grader. With all that in mind, she is also very approachable and more helpful than most teachers during the essay process period. Not an easy A.

She is helpful when you need her to be. But overall, very tough grader and very unclear essay prompts.

Comment:

Dr. Fitzgerald's class can be a bit boring at times but the readings she assigned were usually pretty interesting (and not too long) and I really did learn a lot about writing from the course. She's a pretty strict (but consistent) grader when it comes to assignments but attend class and participate to boost your grade and you should be okay.

Comment:

She is good teacher overall. Her grading scale is ridiculous making it extremely hard to get an A on an essay. Additionally, the work load can be a bit much sometimes. Worth taking if you want to learn a lot, but not if you aren't willing to put a ton of effort into the class.

She is a nice person who is interested in approving the students wirint but it is SO boring. Also, her grading scale is ridiculous and it is very difficult to get an A on a paper. The subject manner was dull and the class was repetitive.

Comment:

She is an awesome professor who motivates her students to do their best. She uses class time very well and is engaging. She demands a lot from her students, but it is well worth it. She has been my favorite professor in YU so far. All of the students in my class in Fall 2007 thoroughly enjoyed her course.
