Prof Rosen is an excellent teacher. She certainly gives A's cause I got one. She just doesn't gives A's at midterm time because she wants us to strive all semester long. She's just the best teacher I've had at SJU. I plan to take her lit. class in the future.

Good Professor but unapproachable and can sometimes seem rude. She is strict but has good intentions. This class is not an easy A. You have to work hard for it.

Professor Rosen=perfection. What really blew me away was how quickly she responded to me when I e-mailed her, even on weekends. She knows her stuff. Take her class, any class she teaches.

Participation matters and she takes note of late people. Usually tells the homework assignment a few minutes before class starts which is weird. 4 or 5 essays, a lot of reading, 1 final paper and exam.

Simply awful. If you read anything else it is a lie. Her lack of understanding or care for the student and their situation is truly amazing. If you live a perfect life and nothing ever comes up that would stop you from doing assignments in her credit filler of a class, then take her. Her weekly assignments require far to much effort for 5 points.

Shes a nice lady and she gets the point across. if public speaking is a strength for you youll love the class if not you're in trouble and need to work on yourself. She critiques a bit harshly. Come prepared and youre on her good list. most speeches were about 3 minutes long so not bad, just prepare and you'll be fine, a few writing assignments

She can be a tough grader on assignments, both in class and homework assignments. She needs to have more clear grading criteria because there are so many assignments, which range from 3-10 points usually, and she can be vague about what she wants. Dictates everything in class so take good notes.

Professor Rosen was one of the best professors at SJU. You learn so much and learn how to properly write a memo, business proposal, resumes, and cover letters which are useful in the business world. She is tough, but she wants all her students to do good and pushes you to your full potential. Really liked her class and miss her

Prof. Rosen is one of the best English professors you could take. I had previously signed up for 2 other English classes and dropped them before the first week of classes was even over. With Prof. Rosen, she does not demand too much and the work doesn't take too long. Other English professors demand a lot more of your time than Prof. Rosen.

She is a nice lady and solid choice for an English elective course. No meetings, only reading and one-page reflections every week. Midterm and final consisted of larger essays about multiple stories we read. The work was easy and she was an ok grader. Pretty picky on certain things but still ended up with an A. I would take her if u get the chance.

Professor Rosen chooses some of the most disturbing, perverse, and depressing stories I have ever encountered in all my years spent in academia. From child molestation, to suicide, anything but positivity and motivational literature is found in this course.If you're someone who wants to immerse themself in positivity rather than this, stay far away

One of the best professors I''ve ever had; caring, well organized. She's a tough grader but that's probably because she wants us to learn from our mistakes. Great class. I would definitely take another class this professor teaches.

Honestly I loved the readings she gave us. She assigns 6 essays throughout the semester and a research paper. Make sure to always read what she assigns because she expects you to know it for the following class. She is a tough grader but a great teacher.

Participation is a MUST! She gives a pop quiz if participation is lacking (read the stories VERY well, know everything) She assigns 5 essays that you can improve for a better grade and a research paper worth 25 points. The final was an in-class essay, and we were given the prompt in advanced I recommend her. Write notes and use them for essays

She wants things done in her own way, it is very difficult to try your best if she might ask you to. She told me that I did not type what she was looking for and decided to give me a two out of eight instead of explaining it. She does not give extensions, nor excepts late work so good luck.
