Comment:

This class is easy but it is without a doubt the most boring class i've ever had. The teacher constantly is going off on tangents and can't remember what we discussed in class after five minutes. Gives lots of quizzes which are pretty impossible if you haven't done the reading. Overall class is ok because it is such an easy A but I wouldnt take it.

Comment:

She really grew on me as the semester went on. She has her quirks but overall she's a knowledgeable professor who is more than willing to help you with anything if you ask. She gives a lot of quizzes so make sure you look at the syllabus so you know what to read because a lot of the time she doesn't tell you about it in class.

Worst Prof I've had all year. Very confusing and goes off topic. Seems a bit all over the place and does not explain things very well. Do not take her for classes!

She is a little bit past her prime teaching years. She is alright but I would probably find someone else if I took it again.

Comment:

She's hard to understand and hear unless you're sitting right next to her and ask her to clarify a few hundred times. If you do all the readings you'll ace the quizzes. She is a fair grader with essays, just check and triple check grammar and punctuation and you will be fine.

Very hard grader. A lot of assignments and the stories we have to read are irrelevant.

You'll do fine in class if you read the texts, participate and can write at a college level.

Comment:

Tigerman is a great teacher. Her courses are probably tough if you're lazy, don't do the readings, and don't try, but that's your fault, not hers. She knows her stuff, and if you make an effort, you'll know it too.

Class was very boring, and I'm an Eglish major. Even she admited that she was bored. She is a hard grader on the tests/quizes but better on the papers. She's VERY confusing.

Comment:

We only had to write three papers and two were only 2.5 pages long and the last was only 5. This class was not a lot of work. We did a lot of peer reviewing and you can redo papers to hand in at the end of the semester. Easy class.

Comment:

She is a very knowledgable professor. The class is easy if you attend everyday and read the short story/poem for a class discussion the next day. Read some great material. She's nice and enjoys her work. Write two major papers and read every class period. Hopefully, you love literature. Sometimes she gets off topic, but easy and interesting class.

I took her for Eastern Religions class and it was GREAT! She knows ALOT of great information. She is opinionated, but it definetly adds to the class. If you participate you can easily get an A. Very minimal work.

Comment:

The class was women in mythology. I haven't taken any of her other classes, but in this class at least she was awesome. She knew a lot about the subject, and made it interesting. There weren't very many papers, and they were short, and you pretty much got to write about whatever interested you. Plus, it counts english, womens studies, etc..

Comment:

Easy but waste of time. She was very opinionated and spent huge amounts of time talking of her views. The class was useful initially, but became a waste of time because all we did was argue, but she still took attendance. There was a lot of busy work that she never then collected or gave you credit for. Little organization.

Comment:

Shes a nice person but she does tangent a lot. Had minimal amount of papers but they weren't long by any means. The class is a little pointless after the first 8 weeks cause then its just papers you do outside of class anyway.

Comment:

She's an ok teacher. Her class was a breeze, only 3 major papers. She does have a tendency to go off on political banter or make you research stuff that has nothing to do with English. Really easy class to pass, you can turn your papers in multiple times for a better grade. She's a little controlling though.

Comment:

I really do not like her and she does not explain things very good at all. She needs to explain things better. Also, she does not teach the class she is supposed to teach. She teaches more history than anything, she needs to teach her subject and only her subject!
