Comment:
Feldman is one of the worst professors I've ever had. She knows her stuff, but is obviously more interested in teaching students who share her knowledge, i.e. if you don't know as much as her, then you probably won't do well in her courses. I have taken 2 of her classes and wish I had never had the misfortune.

Comment:
Professors like Feldman are the reason that the humanities are hemorraghing jobs and students. They have a lot to say but prefer destructive criticism to constructive criticism whenever possible.

Professor Feldman is one of my favorite professors at UVa. She is very engaging and really pushes you to think more deeply about poetry. She's fantastic to meet with outside of class, too. Definitely take her class!!!

Comment:
Feldman inspired me *not* to become an English teacher. She disregarded my original comments, but made a lot of my less sophisticated prose. She silenced me a few times during class and didn't stop another student from making ad hominem attacks towards me.

Comment:
Feldman damned me with faint praise on a letter of recommendation that has been questionably cited to me by several interviewers after I had put in a lot of hard honest work for her course. I gave her a resume and she couldn't believe I did several of the things I actually did on my resume. Small imagination.

Comment:
Professor Feldman helped me decide to switch from Neuroscience to an English major! The woman is incredible, leads great discussions, really knows her poetry, and is always open to new ideas and interpretations. Can grade a little hard, but is not out to KILL you -- put in the time and effort and you'll love her!

Comment:
Ms. Feldman knows her poetry. Although she assigned a lot of writing, the work load was not unbearable, and as long as you made a good effort you will be fine. She is also extremely willing to help you outside of class, in particular on papers and such. Overall, she is a very nice woman. I would take a class of hers again.

Comment:
Very knowledgeable about poetry and literature in general. However, sometimes she can make you feel a little dumb, although she doesn't mean to. Class discussions are really deep and thought-provoking, but all the writing is murderous. Take this class only if you're really into poetry and are seriously contemplating majoring in English.
