5 essays in the whole semester and she lets you do a revision for each in order to get a higher grade. pretty neat! but you also have to keep up with the reading cuz she gives you a quiz every once in a while. but its not too bad as you have a lot of time from when she assigns the reading until she actually gives a quiz on it. very good professor!

Great teach! 5 essays, revisions optional on each. If you get a higher grade on the revision, then it averages with the original grade. No final. Pop quizes/daily assignments(over non-fiction book). Small attendance grade, but she drops 2-3 quizes/daily works/attendance grades. Good teach/extremely easy A, if you put a little effort into the class.

She gives clear grading criteria, fairly grads assignments and give prompt feedback. She offers a chance for revising after her first grading your assignment. You will get a better grad if you revise it . Revising is very easy, because she already correct them on your paper, and you only have to correct them in you computer and print a clean one!
