Comment:
Extremely helpful and encourages in class discussion. I felt like I could voice my opinion on the poems and not be judged. She does a lot of research on each and every poem that is covered and presents different interpretations.

Comment:
her poetry class was terrible. There was no interprutation except for hers. If your thoughts are different from her she brushes them aside. She isn't willing to discuss other veiw points. Extremely hard marker, almost unfair. If you love poetry avoid taking it from her.

Comment:
Fair marker, stresses looking at poetry as a whole instead af analysing only one part and considering it representative of the entire peice. Encourages discussion, sometimes comes across as a little harsh in her attitude towards some students and in her marking comments, but otherwise a very good prof.

Comment:
She is sooo boring. her class is dull and everybody in the class is weird. I took this class because I liked poetry and thought I would be good at it. But she makes it impossible to do good.Only take this class if you like hanging out with weird english majors.

I loved her class. She's excellent for small classes, and prompts intelligent discussion. It IS possible to get good marks from her, if you have read and understood the subject at hand. She's willing to speak with you outside of class, and help you understand things so you can get things right. Act like an adult and you'll be treated like one!

Comment:
very much like a high school teacher. I think she really wants you to improve. she won't let you get away with a lame answer in class, makes you think. I liked the class. people who got good marks in high school with no work will have to work now but you are in university after all.

Comment:
This prof often gets confused with silly tales and in my class kept saying Oedipus instead of Othelo. She doesn't take kindly to critics and grades horribly. Don't take a single class from her.

Heavy on Shaekspeare and poetry, marks tough. She's a good teacher, but VERY old fashioned... think assigned seating!

The content of the class was interesting, the way she grades your papers makes it impossible for you to do well in her class. Avoid her if you can, there are far greater English profs who will give you the grades and respect you deserve.

Comment:
A hard marker, but only because she wants you to LEARN. If you truly listen and do the work, you will honestly gain so much from her class. I watched her coax intelligent answers out of people I could have sworn were no smarter than a bag of hammers! Tough, but never invalidates your opinion.

Not a bad class. Sure to pass the class, but you'll have to work hard to to get 80's. It's kinda like high school English, plus 2 essays.

Crappy. Would take a prof with a PhD over this wanna-be BA any day. Snide, condesending, doesn't care what the students want or need. Would never be hired today.

Seriously worst prof I have ever had. I will stand outside the registration office and deter anyone from taking a class with this woman. She marks hard and makes you feel terrible if you don't know the answer. Worst class I have ever taken!
