She was the WORST professor I've EVER HAD!!!
I learned alot in her class, even though her views were a bit exaggerated
She inspired my endevours for poetry as well as my search for sexy teachers!!!
very hard, very unhelpful, but very HOT! be ready to write in this crap course
she is so hot...her class is ok

She is gorgeous... unbelievably brilliant and sexy. Horrible at teaching, tho.
One of the hottest teachers in SJU, but when I asked her questions, her answers were umm, maybe. I've had to drop two of her classes cause she was so dumb.
Most fantastic professor I've ever had.
So brilliant and inspiring. I was on the edge of my seat during all of her vivacious lectures. She's insightful, intuitive and I always look forward to her interesting assignments.(Not to mention her dark and sexy allure provokes the dirtiest fantasies).
This professor inspired me in so many ways. She is a wonderful caring person who devotes her time to keeping up to date with her students in a fun and motivating way. Anyone who isn't afraid to pick up a pen now and than will surely benefit.

Highly quirky. Her poetry is a mess, and she expects yours to be similarly wrought with unease and incoherence. Moderately candid when it comes to reviewing your poetry. Her poetry/creative writing classes are a good time. Normal classes... I don't know.
hard grader. if you get a C on the first paper you will never improve no matter how good the next paper is or whoever writes the next paper for you.

Her assignments are impossible, you never know for sure what she wants. She is also a tough grader.
Best teacher ever!
i never took her but al least shes cute.too bad she smokes
need to be a guy to get an A in her class
she made me realize that i am not as good as i thought i was at writing. I had b's in all my papers no matter how hard i tried. but she provided no helpful feedback whatsoever.
she is a little challenging but i learned how to write A+ papers with her. taking her class is definetly worth the challenge
she is very enthusiastic, you'll never fall asleep in her class. i got an A, but i had to work hard for it. Her class is not an easy A

i don't know her yet to well, but frankly, she seems VERY weird and confused, as well as confusing.
Shes a **** lol Shes a tough grader, but her class is never boring. Shes mad cool, but you have to work hard for an A, but you learn a lot from doing it.
if your a guy..take her, shes ****..no girl got over a b..and all guys got A's. very wierd and too hyper.
Very interesting in class. Not easy to get an A and her grading system is f*cked up. She gives u one grade and you'll have the same grade on every thing u do for the semester no matter how much work u put in or how much better the essay is.

do not take her..its impossible to get a good grade in this class..shes a hard grader and just gives everyone C's

i cant stand her i understand that college is supposed to be a learning experience but i also believe that as a freshman you should be offered a little help from your professor she acts like we should know everything and if we dont that were dumb.
Karasick is a very good and fair teacher. However she is not an easy teacher. If you are looking for an "easy A" then she is not the professor for you. She gives an essay about every week or two but they are thouroughly explained. You must atten
She seems to be cool at first but when it comes to grades-u get****ty one. Whatever u'll get for yr 1st paper-that will be yr grade during whole semester(with + or-)!Don't do anything in the class but paper topics are pretty hard. Not easy one!good luck!
took her twice...both times were great. great teacher and i spent the entire semesters picturing her in a schoolgirl uniform. HOTTTT.
Definately not an easy professor because she is a poet and novelist herself so she expects great work. Grades harshly. seems cool but she's actually pretty wierd. visit her website; you'll know what i mean. lots of essays and presentations, interesting topics. if you write really well, take her.
Sigh........!!!! I have 4.0 GPA and she messed it up. I am not a good writer, but I try my best in every class for an A. I spend lots of time trying to perfect my writing. I went to writing certer. But after all, I work out of that class with a B. I can't believe it.
This woman is not an easy class regardless of how good you are at English.She has favourites and if you're not one, expect low grades.
easy if she likes you, very strange woman...stay on her good side
shes a good teacher hard grader hard to ever get pass b-
Only grades taken are essays, but the topics are very interesting. She's pretty weird, and doesn't really seem interesting in teaching composition because she is a poet. I got an A- but many people have hard time getting a good grade. Also can be somewhat condescending. Cancels class a lot.

She is Hot~! and the most inspiring teacher i have EVER had. Her essay topics are thought provoking and her lectures are the highlight of my day!

Easy A. Though, I don't think she will be teaching this course again anytime soon. The worst thing I got out of this class was the realization of how uninspired and uncreative most of the SJU student population is.

Assignments are lame and boring and she doesn't exactly grade very well. I wouldn't take her again.
She looks good! class cancled OFTEN! If you write well expect a good grade(from what i have seen people at st johns can't write or hold an intelectual conversation)class discusion is interesting, if you don't participate she will dislike you. Just participate! Paper topics are interesting and the longest paper you have 5 pages. NO RESEARCH!
shes hott .. but has a big attitude and is nasty, but overall shes ighht.. and a good teacher.. but english clas is more like a media class..

This teacher is very weird. Always bringing up weird topics, very difficult grader (if you don't write like her, your grade won't be as high as you expect). Doesn't remember many of her students, even by face. Overall, I personally wouldn't take her again.

ugh she plays favorites & if she doesn't like u don't expect a good grade. i worked really hard for every paper that was due (& always handed them in on time) & she always gave me a-'s. she has an attitude, & she's not helpful or understanding to student's needs at all. i wouldn't take her again!
dont listen to any of these other comments, she is AWESOME... there are 3 papers, like 4 pages each, and NO FINAL and NO HW... she is really nice and she will do SO MUCH for you to help you out in the end... just do the work take it seriously, listen to instructions and have everything on time you you will get an A... TAKE HER!!!!!!
She's a serious nutcase! If you need some spice in your life, take her. Her assignments are cool and she's an interesting person. She also cancels class a lot and the day that a paper is due, all you have to do is hand it in and go on about your business!
Interesting, fun, energetic,...no HW, No Final, 1 Midterm (an essay)...4 papers tops...just pay attention, do the work and you'll be fine and better at English by the end of it!

She is the best english teacher i have ever taken. She is always looking for ways to help and make sure that you understand. I am very bad in english and she really gave me many chances to improve my grade with out dealing with anything to english. Def TAKE HER SHES THE BEST AND HOT!!!!!
At first I was a little apprehensive toward her teaching methods because she seemed too far out there. But she really grew on me and I really enjoyed her class. The assignments are tolerable and they pertain to the interests of college students. Her perspectives on life are differing from mine, but I think she was very intriguing. Overall, she'

There was never a dull moment in this class. Her enthusiasm for the subject matter really helped everybody become interested, and the essay topics are interesting as well. Kind of a tough grader, but hey, it's college.
It's true that her classes are interesting. However, the assignments are not. The papers are one after another until the end of the course. I personally thought she is a hard grader. If the does not like your writing style, you will not get a decent grade. Unless you are superb at writing, do not take this class.
She let that unrecognized ph.d get to her head. she thinks that her writing is perfect, and if you do not write like her, then you will not do good. You can be Robert Frost, but if she doesn't like your style, you wont get an A.
World's worse teacher ever. She gives you an assignment, you cover everythign and then she docks you for things that she never asked for but felt that should be included. You want a title page, ask for it. This isn't elementary school. Who does that? Avoid her, she's a bad teacher. Comes off a bit ditzy too.
great teacher, nice, very enthusiastic, basically requires one essay every ten days or so which is based on readings on topics relevant to society and a lot of stuff pertaining to college students as well, it was a good class, no tests at all
I loved her quirkyness and personality. She's an amazing professor. Hard grader but your writing skills will improve.
Makes you read millions of her non-sense text..you have to buy about 6-7 books... her books are crazy , she's crazy... never even mentioned a title page for her mid-term and taken points off for it..
Very hard class but you learn from it at least. She has a good personality but expects a lot from your assignments so it's hard to get a good grade.
Hard grader, got C+ cause I was lazy doing things at last minute. No tests, only papers. You do learn a lot and class is fun. If you need help just ask her or go to writing center. She is a bit snobby probably cause she got a PHD but still I think she is pretty nice. I Wouldnt mind taking her again, I just gotta stop being lazy hehe.
Nice, funny, caring. Not extremely helpful with my writing tho (but i write well so maybe she didnt have too many suggestions). otherwise, interesting lectures, several essays, no tests, worth taking.
She is AWESOME! Smart, pretty, and totally cool! Her assignments are fun, and as long as you are pretty good at writing, you'll get an A. Take her. She's excellent
She is the greatest! I've never had a better teacher. She totally helped me and taught me a bunch of new things. She is a very fair grader and doesn't pick favorites(I know, I've tried). I loved her!
She has an endless amount of personality that just makes the class enjoyable. Most of the assignments are essays which are not bad as she offers a few choices. However if you are not a strong writer then I would not take her as she is somewhat tough. If you have confidence in your writing skills and like to participate then it is an engaging class.
professor Karasick is pretty nice overall. I did well on all of the papers and did not read the books entirely. However she did make us watch Clockwork Orange after reading the book. I personally felt the movie was inappropriate and completely vulgar. But overall she is a pretty decent professor, explains material well and cancels class alot! :)
If you have a sick mind as she has you will be definitely satisfied with Adeena Karasick as English professor. Be prepare to do withdraw, and good luck (you will need it with her)
She is actually a very different teacher than others. I barley read any of the books and did pretty well on all my essays and we watch alot of movies which is cool and I got a A.
Cancels class a lot, shows a few movies, always lets the class out early - I loved this class. Only assigned a few papers, and was a very easy grader. Plus she is a really nice lady with a great personality. I would recommend her.
She is Awesome! Love her! She is so funny and weird. She makes class interesting. The books we read were really good and interesting too. She makes you buy her book of poetry but that's alright because her poems are really cool. Amazing professor. I definitely recommend!!
Prof Karasick was brilliant! She was really clear, and her pop culture knowledge and references made the class a ton of fun.
Great class, I learned a lot about a wide range of literary works and styles, and I started looking at language in a way I never did before :) She may be the best teacher I ever had
Awful. Does not give any feedback on essays. Wants you to write at a high school level and if you write above that level she grades you down. Makes no sense and lectures are a regurgitation of wikipedia. Don't take.
I had her a year ago and she just made you read, write a paper and then watch a movie that lasts 2-3 classes. I got an A, but not that easy. She has a good eye for people who use online sources and don't cite. Her final was from her own book and it's weird. She had interviews online and I looked them up to help me write it. Interesting professor.
If you enjoy listening to a poetry junkie use an exotic array of voices, and read articles off of Wikipedia for "class", you found the right professor. I highly recommend switching if you are uncomfortable with public speaking. Homework usually includes analyzing a given piece to talk about next class.
She is a famous poet. She assigned three essays, one regular essay, one the midterm, and the last the final. Does not give any exams only papers. Papers are normally 3-5 pages. She could be more clear when it comes to explaining essay prompts. Homework is usually just a reading assigned for the next class. I recommend her completely! No textbook!
I actually had her class at Pratt Institute, but regardless, she makes her class seem easy but she grades tough. She absolutely loved my writing and helped me set up to minor in creative writing but I never got higher than a B in anything we did. Crazy lecture heavy and she's a bit of a wack-job, I mean she's a Canadian Poet, a nice person though.
