Myth and Legend class was annoying and boring. Read Homer outside of class and you'll enjoy yourself a lot more. Required attendance just makes me angry.

She's ok, but kind of boring. We would basically reread the assigned pages in class to fill up time. Her assignments were easy, but she graded harder on the essays. Maybe try someone else.

Boring as all hell. Every class was like the plague. Attendance is graded to highly. I never wanted to go to the class, because it was so boring. She basically re-read everything she assigned. If your a boring type of a person you would probably love her.

She tests you on quotes and all the books you read have the same characters

She's not very helpful when it comes to questions. Classes tend to get boring and long. Is not clear on what she expects for assignments. Forgets to collect papers, then marks them a day late.

I don’t want to watch the movie; I don’t care what the guy in the corner thinks; I am paying this money to learn something from the “expert.” She gives you handouts on how to write better papers, but not on things that would deepen your understanding of the play. Maybe if she actually taught something in the class we would have better papers.

You can learn more for having a 10 minute conversation with Hibbard or anyone else who teaches Shakespeare.

Doesn't help you, goes off in rants and is a crazy koot. take it with hibbard

If you don't do the reading she will read it to you. She is more concerned about how you write than what you learn about Shakepeare. She is patronizing. I'll give her credit for a unique sense of humor, but when she cleans her office she needs to go home and play her garden.

One of the worst classes I have ever taken in my college carrer. She requires way too much work and is exteremly technical. If you can avoid her fiction class do so. It was horrible. She might be fine in lit classes, but fiction was so bad. Do not take unless you want a bad grade on your paper for bad grammar. Plays favorites not a good thing.

stay as far away from this useless professor...she tells you over and over that your writing should develop with age but expects you to write as if you're a scholar. attendance is mandatory and all you ever do is read out loud to one another and you're not allowed to step out of the room. you learn nothing in this class! she needs to retire!!

Mumbles to herself, plays major favorites and never answers a question, just says "lets look at the book"

Not the greastest professor and I have had her for a little over a month. mumbles, is not very clear, and is not good at all for passing back tests she just makes us watch movies and then tries to call out all the names..

Very boring class, sat at listened to her mumble for most of the class. If you do your readings you'll get an a easily but you also have to attend which sucks.

Prof Abartis is alright, I guess. She mumbles a lot and its extremely hard to pay attention. Her tests are pretty difficult if you do not pay attention or attend classes. However, if you take a large class of hers she does not assign any homework or papers all semester!

Boring but an easy A if you do the homework or just look up book summaries online. Not a terrible class but I never enjoyed going and usually left early.

Very, extremely boring class. She constantly mumbles and makes everyone in class read. Grade is determined by 10% attendance and 90% tests. 6 of 8 highest test grades each 20 points and 20 questions. Material covered was: Shakespeare, All Quiet on WF, Tartuffe, a few others and many poems. I would not recommend taking this professor.

I was so pumped to take this class...until the very first day. The professor is a lecturer , but is not interactive with the class. If you're looking for a class that's so easy and boring you can just sit on your phone, take it with this prof. If you want to actually learn something, then don't.

If you do not perform well on the tests, you won't get a good grade. simple as that. I went to her numerous of times for clarity and even help, and she practically said "too bad" about my grade.

This course was very boring but definitely an easy grade if you do the readings. We only had 8 exams and she drops the 2 lowest. There are 4 books. If you do the readings, you will receive a decent grade.

Has you read before class then somewhat covers the material the next day. Sit in the front otherwise you won't hear a thing. Genuinely nice lady. You have to pay attention though to pick up on the vocab words (she will put on the quizzes). And actually watch the videos- she will include them in the quizzes. Just remember what you read.

She's very nice and has good intentions, but I would avoid taking her at all costs. There are 3 tests in this class and it's ALL poetry questions. Her grading on papers is terrible. She doesn't care about quotations or the quality of the work. She basically grades on grammar, and random things. She doesn't give real feedback that helps.

There are 8 quizzes, 20 questions. Pretty much the whole quiz is quotes, so if you don't read, you probably won't do as well as you'd like. When talking about poems, she pretty much takes each line and tells the class what it means. This would usually lead her to talking about that one thing until there's about 10-20 minutes of class...

I think she is a very nice person but not the greatest teacher. She tends to be very long winded and explain things to a point that's way beyond what's necessary. The tests were very easy. I got an A- as a final grade because I couldn't drag myself to class sometimes and the only grades were tests and attendance. Rough semester.

Not clear on her grading. Not very organized, lots going on at once.

I did everything and stayed on course in this class, yet still got a D+. This is the first class I have ever failed. Ever. She is the toughest grader I have ever had in my life. The exercises aren't helpful, her feedback makes no sense, and it was a waste of money.

Fall 2020 PSEO I had trouble finding the zoom link, which wasn't a big deal, she always recorded the meeting and sent it via email to everyone. Just be prepared for A LOT of reading, and not books you choose. Classics like A Midsummer Night's Dream, All Quiet On The Western Front, Tartuffe, etc. The class and tests were overall really easy.

Took her Shakespeare class because it was a requirement for my degree, super tough grader especially on papers. No clear guidance on expectations for papers either. Tests were multiple choice but most questions were quotes from the plays and asking who said what or to whom something was said. Will be avoiding in the future.

Attendance is extra credit, but you need to come in for test days. This is an easy class. But you'll be bored out of your mind. I'm not sure this professor's teaching for much longer, but she tends to ramble, and the way she teaches is repetitive and doesn't spark much interest. You can just read the material outside of class, come for tests.

She openly said she was very disappointed in our papers, both in an announcement and in class. All we do is read outside of class and then read in class; there are no parts where learning is happening. We just recite who said what, and when.
