Comment:

The class was difficult due to how hard she grades. She has you read a lot and says to "go to the Writing Center" for your writing but doesn't help with what you need to improve. Coursework was extremely dry.

Comment:

Honestly, she's pretty hit or miss. Some days she's wonderful, others you will find yourself anxious to leave and never return. Classes are pretty boring but you'll do fine in her class if you work for it. PLEASE ask her to clarify the assignments or her grading on your papers! It will cost you if you don't understand where she's coming from.

Dr. Pollock is a wonderful professor who is approachable and available for her students. English 353 was an enriching and nondemanding.

Dr Pollock either loves you or hates you! Some days she's actually pretty cool but other days she is miserable! Her classes are super boring. Her assignments are pretty unclear, so ask to make sure your doing it the way she wants. Her research paper is ridiculous.

Comment:

I have never learned so much, nor had so much fun. You do field trips in college! The class is intellectually, philosophically, and creatively stimulating. It has a decent work load, but you can rework and redo your essays for a final grade after you get them back. The course combines nature, writing, peer editing, and teacher feedback. Go for it!

Comment:

I'm pretty sure she bleeds vinegar. A very sour old woman who clearly plays favorites and offers absolutely no help, even when you ask for it. On top of all that, her classes are mind-numbingly boring. If you want the stereotype of the embittered professor who deeply resents students and being forced to teach, look no further than Dr. Pollock.

I hated her! she picks favorites, and no one passed with an A. she'll either like you or not and your grade will vary from there.

you'll either love her or hate her. if you like how she thinks its a great class. she's a nice old lady, talk in class she'll cut you some slack. read the pages, they arent that long. and the book you read first is not too bad but the research project is

Comment:

very very liberal and if you are not watch out. she does not respect other views and will usually find humor in your small mistakes she laughed at my whole class because we all forgot to indent on a bibliography.... if you enjoy being torn to shreds and feeling horrible after a class then take her class.

Comment:

Class is really not that hard... she just doesn't give grades until the final, when its too late if you need some pick-me-up points. Doesn't always return e-mails and not really that nice. I would avoid her class...

Comment:

She is okay, but kind of boring and does not like other people's views (she is a spiritual nature-lover to the extreme)to the point of altering your grade if your opinion on the essays do not match hers. She is very vague on the themes and topics of essays and what she wants you to do in your essays. She changes her mind abit on grading tests.

Comment:

I have mixed feelings. She's passionate about what she does but there is ALOT of work in her class. The class itself is a little boring. There's no conflict or controversy, but that's also a factor of the students in the class. She's not bad but I wouldn't want to take her again. My writing has improved though. She's also very pc.

Great as an intro professor - she was the first one my freshman year who edited my paper to shreds, and as a result made me realize I had a lot to learn. My writing improved tenfold thanks to her - her class was hard but so worth it.

Comment:

It's been quite a while - but I'll never forget sitting in a half grad/half undergrad class with her and her saying that our writing divided us into the 'haves' and 'have nots.' She is very unhelpful with research - and beware - if your opinion differs from hers your grade will reflect it!

Comment:

Scatterbrained and NOT well-versed on a variety of topics, which seems like it would be an essential quality when teaching a Literary Studies course. Inconsistent grader; her suggestions for improvement of papers are very unhelpful.

She is dullwitted and rather scatter brained. I did not enjoy her class or her outlook. (I still got an 'A' too; so this is not bitterness speaking)
