Comment:

Lit theory was no walk in the park. Readings are hard and heavy BUT she does a great job at explaining it! A beautiful speaker, always enriching to hear her lectures. She is available for help. Just do the readings and be ready to be inspired! This prof is underrated. Also, not too many books to buy, she mostly posted the readings &p on the moodle.

This course is wicked difficult! You are learning pretty much a brand new concept every class; but, the prof is AMAZING! Extremely approachable, patient, and understanding. She is very smart. She listens to her students, and NEVER puts them down... EVER

Comment:

This is more like a philosophy course. Deals in VERY early psychoanalysis (aka philosophy about the unconscious). PSYC majors be warned, you'll find yourself questioning why on earth you are talking about these theories when they are so outdated. Great professor though, she means well, it's just a hard class.

Comment:

Great Prof - Material very complicated - 2 exams, 2 papers, 1 presentation, 10% participation. If you are a psych student looking to take an English Course, this one is highly recommended. The professor is very sweet, and very willing to help you out with the material, as it can get a little abstract at times.
