When it comes to essays, she is a tough grader. I wish she wasn't harsh because the essays can make you suffer. I find it unfair and unacceptable.

Comment:

She is a hard grader when it comes to essays. She doesn't teach so if looking for professor who does dont't take her. Attendance is key and mandatory in her class. She doesn't take late work and hate when your late to class. Even if you have a real excuss.

Comment:

I do not think she grasp's or even understands that when people opt for online classes it is because their schedule is extremely busy and most people can not get to a computer until after 6. Her writing assignments was due at 5pm. plus she grades very harsh. No make-ups, and no extension,no clarity on assignments, lots of reading,lots of writing.

Comment:

Constantly changes the due dates of assignments. I got a zero twice because of this. It's very irritating to submit your assignment the day that the syllabus says it's due only to discover that she changed the due date. 0/10 Also I didn't just put the tag "graded on a few things" for no reason. you really are, so good luck if you mess up a paper.

Comment:

Bad professor. All we do in class is talk about the readings, we didn't learn anything at all. The reading responses and essays are all done online, but we still have to attend the class to turn them in in person (even though you still have to submit the assignment online, ugh!) So you're forced to sit through a useless lecture. Waste of time.

I mean she is okay but she can come off rude and if you are unsure about something she just tells you to read the assignment. Not very helpful if your not coming straight out of HS.

I took her for both 241/242. She is very organized and gives clear grading criteria. She gave me positive feedback to prompt direction for my mid-term thesis essay. Dissect the literature and write thoughtfully. Responsive to inquiries. Weekly short lit response and DB post, 2 full essays and short final essay exam. Easy A with effort on your part.

She is a great professor. I dont like literature, but she makes the class easier for you. There is a lot of reading and papers you have to write. But theyre not hard because she tells you exactly what to do and remember its a lit class. I recommend her.

She isn't a bad professor, but she can be a bit overwhelming. Though she may say certain things in the syllabus, expect her to make some dumb last minute move that will end up affecting your grade.

Comment:

Professor Rosecrans is a solid teacher, she assigns a lot of work, outlines her expectations, and follows through. I consider myself a good writer and got good grades, but didn't feel like I learned much from her. I improved on my own by writing a lot, but did not receive much feedback except on major projects. Willing to answer questions by email

Comment:

This is a good class, if you are up to writing a lot. Rosecrans' work is not hard by any means, but you really have to keep up and make sure that you do the mini-papers she assigns on time. My only nitpick with her is that she seems to have an intimidating demeanor, but other than that, I would take her again!

I did not want to take this class at first; however I needed the elective to graduate. The professor took want, to me, was a boring class and made it very interesting. There were no tests, but a lot of papers and discussion board responses. Great professor and I would certainly take her class again.

Comment:

It's literally a lie when the comments say she gives no feedback. I've had her for two different classes and for both she sends back emails after every weekly short essay saying what needs to be improved upon specifically. She will make you work for the A but the class is not hard. 2 short assignments a week, 3 big papers, that's it for the class.

Comment:

In my experience, this was an "easy A", but you must write 2 and a half pages minimum on the 15 Reading Responses (as per syllabus). No extra credit offered. She lets you correct the two major essays but- though the syllabus says otherwise- she never sent any form of feedback to anyone in the class, so good luck figuring out why you lost points.

This professor is the worst professor I have ever taken. I dropped her class because she was a tough grader and when I asked her what I needed to improve on she only said "Syllabus." DO NOT take her class.

Comment:

Prof. Rosecrans is great but you have to work for the A. You write 1-2 papers a week and a discussion board thats around 400 words. It is a lot of reading and a lot of writing but you do not have to buy text books and as long as you attempt you should get an A.

Comment:

Communicative; gave positive feedback; grades and posts grades in a timely manner. Not at all a tough grader, though there are pretty specific requirements for assignments. Do the discussion boards on time, write really solid essays, do all of the homework assignments and you're good.

Comment:

Dr. Rosecrans was an "ok" teacher. She was very open about her opinions. She assigned many "mini" papers for the semester, 2 essays and 1 research project. She expects a lot from her students and grades really tough. I will not be recommending her to anyone, unless they like to write.

Comment:

Ok, here's the deal with Rosecrans. She is a bit of a nice person, but you can really tell what she is for, and what she is against (political stuff etc, very opinionated). She gives a TON of homework, like every class, and we have three papers due for the semester, each time increasing in length of pages. Her class is easy, just a ton of work.
