Comment:

Don't take this explore class. Basically a paper due every week and she grades them with bias. Such a redundant class. She will take up common hour which is not part of her class and outings aren't during class so they will interfere with your schedule. Take a discover class. We read about 6 novels and there's a final paper that's 5 page min.

Comment:

Prepare for lots of redundant assignments that aren't graded for a while. Papers are assigned for every reading done. No textbooks needed, only novels and don't bother buying them as the class will only spend less than a week's worth of classes on them. During discussions, prof has no regard for any opinions that differ from her own.

I'm so lucky to have had Professor Salli for my Chicago Discover Class last fall quarter. Apart from being a lovely human being she's so smart and knowledgeable when it comes to literature and she's more than happy to listen. She does make you work a little for your grade but it's all to help make you blossom into a real student. Highly recommend!

Comment:

I had Professor Seeley for my Chicago Quarter Explore class. Although she did take us on some fun excursions outside the classrooms, she assigned us with A TON of random writing assignments and graded them thoroughly. She also had very strict attendance policy and she was very opinionated during class discussions. Be ready to write A LOT!

Salli has an incredible heart and is willing to work closely with students in order to make sure they're achieving the goals and standards she set for them. She cares deeply about her students as well as the material she teaches. I had her my freshman year and the class legitimately changed my life.

Comment:

I dreaded going to this class. She assigns crazy amounts of busy work as if we have no other class but hers. Some of the assignments have nothing to do with what we are learning. All of the assignments were basically the same which made the class very boring and redundant.

Comment:

Personally, I took Professor Seeley for WRD 103 & 104 - and I have to say I warmed up to her. In the beginning she may seem difficult or course, but when you get down to the work she really does care about making her students better writers and preparing them for their academic careers. She's a great professor for first years - highly recommend.

Comment:

There was a lot of outside work, but other than that what I really hated was that if you don't agree with her on certain things she literally doesn't leave the topic until you give in and say yes I agree. She doesn't understand that others have different opinions and it bugged me that we couldn't have different opinions without her judging.

Comment:

She's a little different. Her personality is an acquired taste. She assigns a lot of readings for each week and the final paper was ehh. She is quirky and a little ditzy sometimes.

She was probably the rudest person I've ever met. Acts like you have no other classesnothing else to do in your life but immerse yourself in whatever she deems important (not even necessarily the course material).

Comment:

Not sure why anyone would give this professor a bad score. I've taken her for two different classes and I learned so much from each. She does assign more work than the average professor, but she gives good feedback and doesn't give you more than you can handle. She's very down to earth and funny. She will really help your writing. Take her class.

Comment:

Salli is an interesting prof-she assigns wonderful readings and usually engages the class in good discussions. However, she assigns a silly amount of busy work throughout the quarter, which is irritating. She can be very kind and insightful, yet at other times she would be very short-tempered and even rude. She is quirky, most definitely, but cool.

Comment:

Horrible teacher. She assigns a lot of pointless papers on pointless topics & weird or pointless readings. She is not open minded at all. If she doesn't like your opinion on something she will give you a bad grade. Her comments are borderline rude. She doesn't post grades on D2L or pass back assignments. You never know your grade or how to improve.

Comment:

There is a lot of reading and a lot of homework for this class, be warned! She also makes you buy A TON of books. She is nice enough, but she can be a bit nuerotic at times. She has passion for the content, but she gets really nit picky about things which is annoying.She also makes you print out everything, so make sure you are prepared for class.

Comment:

The Professor is over the top in terms of personality. There's a lot of work for this class and almost every week there some sort of work to be turned in. Usually we go through 6 drafts just for a lame essay about what we like. All of the essays are pointless and from the class, I learned very little.

Comment:

Salli was super helpful inside and outside the class with recommendations for further reading, etc. The work was average and there was a lot of reading. You're pretty much expected to talk about the reading, too, so go prepared. Ooh, she also accepts late work, which is a huge bonus.

There is not much homework, but the essay drafts and presentation. She is flexible and appreciates participation.
