Make sure you are willing to print 40+ pages per week since you have to make a copy of your essays for every single student in the room. Even tho she is a nice teacher, I wouldnt recommend her since she likes to give Cs and Bs and is VERY picky. She forgets things and you will never know if you are doing good or bad until the end of the term.

Lot's of reading, research, and annotating. Need to keep up with reading materials to participate in discussions, don't be late or absent, she can get carried away at times with presentation, but you will thoroughly know the material. You should get into short stories or it will be quite difficult to pass with high marks.

Ok.. The thing about prof. Barr is she's very unorganized... She gives essay after essay.. It's kind of easy BUT she critiques every little thing you do! Although I passed her class, I had to work hard.. She's a sweet lady tho. You can take her if you want, I mean I passed so you can. And if I passed TRUST ME you will to. GOOD LUCK!

Honestly, my AP Lit teacher from high school was harder and expected more from me. Her? Not really. If you know English, expect an A. Easy class, but not challenging. Also she doesn't really know what she's talking about half the time. And it's a less than a week away from when final grades are due, and I still don't have the majority of my grades.

She is very sweet and really talks a lot about the topics of the essays before you write. Indeed she is a bit disorganized and you have to remind her sometimes. But you can always go to her office and she'll read you paper and grade it faster. She is always there to help students. Quizzes are easy and she gives a lot of time to write essays.

Professor Barr is lost 85% of the times. Her lectures are all over the place and most times the class doesn't know what they are doing and have to just get through it. However, she is a good writer. She will give good feedbacks on paper and reviews which you can learn a lot from but her class sucks. She is better online than in person.

Prof. Barr is a very sweet and respectful lady, the kind of teacher you'll want to be friends with after the course ends. She makes connections from the stories we read to the real world and shares her own experiences. All I can really complain about is that she takes a while to grade, and the uncertainty scares me. At least not a tough grader.
