Comment:

She literally switched the curriculum entirely halfway through the semester (to something we did not sign up for). Dr. Moskal is completely disorganized and her assignments are so vague and confusing. The lectures are hardly meaningful. I learned nothing from this class that I expected to. Just find another professor.

Comment:

Dr. Moskal is obviously a very caring person. Her lectures can be hard to understand, especially because she talks a bit more quietly than most professors I've had. She seems all over the place, and her assignments can be a little vague. But overall not really that difficult, and she tends to each student separately. TLDR; caring, but disorganized

Comment:

Professor Moskal was the best professor I have ever had. lectures were so brilliant. I have never learned as much as I have in the classes I have taken with her. Some group discussions which was cool that she wanted our input. Also lots of lecturing which was incredible as she ties in philosophy history and literature all together really well.

LITERALLY the worst teacher I've ever had. She is extremely pretentious and condescending and seems to not care about her students succeeding. Unable to take any suggestions or criticism, and grades assignments ridiculously. DO NOT TAKE

Terrible professor. I didn't believe the negative ratings about her, and I really regret it. She managed to make a class about Jane Austen awful. She lectured about very very specific things unrelated to the readings, and then gave incredibly detailed quizzes about them. Gave 2 papers worth 60% of the grade. Definitely would NOT recommend.

I took this class with her and it was way more difficult that I thought. I am not an ENGL major, & only took it for gen ed requirement. I do not recommend that unless this is really ur thing. Quizzes on the books were detail-oriented and specific. Papers were graded harshly and she had very high expectations. She is caring tho & it was interesting

Comment:

She's a pretty nice person, but a little quirky and unorganized a lot of time. I didn't think she graded fairly and I didn't really know what she wanted me to do when we wrote papers. The exams weren't too bad though. Probably wouldn't take again.

Professor Moskal was the best teacher I have ever had. Inspirational lectures, unbelievably rewarding class experience. Class size was small which made the vibe that much more intimate. Our final exam was one of the most engaging group discussion's I've ever had.

Comment:

I adored Professor Moskal. She speaks very quietly, but there is probably no one who knows as much about the Regency as Professor Moskal does. Very quirky and I learned a ton. Don't take if reading isn't your thing, but it was one of the most rewarding classes I've taken so far.

Please for the love of all things that are good in this world do not take a class with her. If you value your sanity, you will listen to me and avoid her at all costs. Her grading and paper expectations are ridiculous, she's incredibly close minded, and I couldn't hear half of the things she said. Good luck if you sign up to take a class with her.

Comment:

I had her for a first-year seminar on Jane Austen. She was interesting...She's really nice but is a stereotypical english teacher who gets lost in poetry, closes her eyes, and smiles for a bit. Kind of awkward. Can be annoying but overall, nice.

Comment:

She is a really sweet person with a pretty quirky personality. There is a quiz at the beginning of every class so reading is mandatory, but she frequently lets class out early. Definitely recommend--makes romanticism fun and interesting!

Comment:

Absolutely dreaded her class!!! She was not interesting and my idea of learning is not memorizing what poems go with what authors. There was way to much reading for the class and not enough time spent on the poems.

I found writing essays for her very difficult. She's not very clear as far as what she wants. However, I did go and talk with her on a couple different occassions and after talking with her things always seemed to get better. Just make sure she knows your name from the first day and everything will be fine. You'll find she's very approachable.

Comment:

I could never imagine this woman being referred to as a "sweetheart." Her close-minded views and general idiocy has corroded any semblence of decent humanity. Stay away if you're looking for an honest, fair exposure to Romanticism.

Comment:

This professor taints the entire academic experience. She blatantly ignores key authors of Romanticism in order to trumpet her own uber-feminist views. As a female student, I took offense to her close-mindedness. She is rude and cold. Stay away if you believe in academic integrity.

Extremely biased and closed-minded. Incredibly nasty and disrespectful IF YOU GET ON HER BAD SIDE (read: express an opinion she does not agree with). About as unprofessional a professor as I have ever encountered.

She's a good professor, and I like how her class is structured (only 4 grades). There's a LOT of reading, though, and the book is the heaviest one I've encountered here.
