Christa is literally one of the best teachers at UVSC, if you are able to take a class from her it will make your whole semester a good one. She is hilarious, passionate and very intelligent.

She is great, if you have a chance you should take a class from her, especially her theory class.

Christa is bright, energetic and just a bit mischevious. She is a blast to learn with and very, very positive.

Christa is so awesome! She is really one of the best english teachers I've ever had. My writing has improved so much from her class. Christa is always willing to help and she's also so fun. I would recommend her class to anyone

Christa is amazing! She is always willing to meet with students and help them in any way that she possibly can. She shares tricks of the trade that make writing so much easier and provides plenty of clear examples. She is easy to talk to and very fun. I would HIGHLY recommend her class!

Christa is great. She could teach basket weaving and make it worthwhile and fun. She's got a knack for keeping you interested and sincerely helping you earn your grade.

Christa is great! She has such an easy-going open personality and does not judge anyone for anything! She loves comments and opinions. She loves to laugh and have fun. Great teacher!

Christa gives you many chances to get a better grade. She also didn't make us use the regular english book for UVSC...a $10 reference book and that was IT!

Christa is absolutely incredible! This was by far my favorite english class I have ever taken. I hated 2890, but this class was great. She is full of life always laughing and joking about something. She is very open and even more approachable. She is there to really help you understand the theory. If you can take any class from her, do it.

Crista is awesome! I truly look forward to her class each day. Even though it is a class of all Mormon Conservatives and she clearly isnt that, she invoked respectful dialogue and is so open to everything. She is polite, funny, and truly awesome. You can learn so much from her, and have a real college experience doing it. This class is awesome.

Christa is the best professor ever. Her class is very fun and exciting and she really makes theory learnable. She is very respective to all view points and gives you lots of examples to connect things to. She also will spend extra time with you if you are not understanding and have questions. If you can take this class from her do it.

Christa is the best teacher that I've had at UVSC! She is easy going, fun to discuss various topics with, extremely helpful, open-minded and just an overall great teacher. Her class is challenging (a lot of reading), but I've learned more from her class than perhaps any other.

Prof Albrecht-Crane is Wonderful!! I have the hardest time with English and I dreaded having to take it. Because of this teacher this was the first English class that I enjoyed and loved coming to. The reading was interesting and she makes writing papers simple. I loved taking this class and I never thought that was possible.

Made Poststructuralism more interesting than I thought it would be. Graded fair, left good feedback

Awesome teacher. I absolutely hate English and have been putting it off until the absolute end but I lucked out with Christa. She helped me out so much and didn't make me feel stupid for asking questions. She gives great feedback and encouragement. Plus she didn't make us write a 20 page research paper for the final, which is the norm for eng 2010!

She is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She makes class fun and interesting. She gives lots of one on one help. I would highly recommend her.

She ROCKS!!!!!!

She's probably the most intelligent person I have ever met. She saw in me ability that I did not know existed.

Fantastic, simply fantastic!

Christa is the best teacher that i have ever had! things that once would have confused the crap out of me are now subjects that i love! i'm considering taking a few classes i never would've considered just because i'd get to have her as a teacher again!

Christa is an awesome teacher. I failed 2010 TWICE before taking this class. It wasn't that it wasn't difficult, its that she taught class in a way that involved CREATIVITY. Props to Christa Albrecht-Crane.

Christa is amazing. Take her classes if you want to leave the semester 10 times smarter than you were going in.

Anyone who can teach at a University level in their second language is smarter than I ever hope to be. Kind, funny--ditto what others have said.

Christa brings a good vibe to the class. You can tell she really cares about what she teaches.

Christa is genius and a really good teacher. Also, she is really fair. I would not slack off in this class.

Christa is an amazing post-structuralist teacher. She never settles the question. She returns difference. She builds friendships in the conservative classroom. You're great Christa!

this was my first ever college class and i found her extremely helpful :)

This is going to be one of the hardest classes you will take in your undergraduate program. Be prepared to work your tail off! Dr. Albrecht-Crane will do everything in her power to help you to succeed.

This class was hard! Difficult concepts, lots of reading and writing - but Christa was always helpful. She made poststructuralism slightly less difficult to grasp. Working on papers one-on-one with her was very helpful.

After reading the reviews I was somewhat hesitant to take the class, but I'm glad that I did. She was VERY knowledgeable and laid everything out in a clear manner. She also was willing to meet outside of class to help out in anyway. I would 100% recommend her as a teacher.

She is an excellent teacher and very fair. This is the kind of professor who can prepare you for the rigors of a career or graduate school. I would highly recommend her class to anyone who wants a challenging but helpful teacher. This class is not for those who are looking to slide through college on easy A's.

Great teacher!! She goes through everything step by step and makes sure that you understand the assignments. Fair grader, keeps things light in the class- I enjoyed her class a lot!

Fair. Difficult, but you learn more from her than most professors. If you're having difficulty she will be happy to work with you. Very time consuming work. Wouldn't recommend taking this class in summer semester. Do NOT come late and do NOT bring electronics of any kind.

by far the hardest english class i've taken. her class makes all my other classes seem like a waste of time taught by incompetent teachers. you think so deeply in christa's class, and your writing improves a lot. everybody should try to take from her.

Christa is awesome! She cares about students so much and is willing to go the extra mile to help you if you ask. She helps clarify very difficult concepts. She has you write several short papers, which really help you engage in and understand the theories. Lots of close reading of texts. Challenging but doable.

Christa has high expectations for her students, but she clearly explains everything and strives to make sure the class understands what is required on each assignment. She works hard with students on each paper and allows revisions, so as long as you come to class and give the effort, you should do well. It is a tough writing class, but worth it.

Make sure to be on time & you can't use electronics in her class.

She is not the easiest teacher but she is a good one. I really liked her she seems to really care about her students success. Just be involved and actually try and you will do great.

Christa is a great teacher. She is super easy to get along with. She gives everyone the chance to redo each paper and get a hundred percent. Also the papers are considered to be the tests for the class. As long as you do the work for the papers you will do well in her class. I enjoyed her class and it helped me to learn to right much better.

I enjoyed having Christa as a teacher, she was hilarious. She also made us work hard. I thought this class was going to be easy, however it wasn't on the easy side. Christa was always there if we needed help improving our writing skills. I enjoyed this class and every minute of it. I would recommend Christa if you are looking for English 2010.

Vey good teacher. She is fair and helps you progress in writing. There are quiz's due in the beginning of class. As long as you attend class and try your best on the homework, you'll get a good grade. She is very nice and personal in her teaching.

Ms. Christa is a great teacher. She is always considerate of everyone's viewpoint and is very helpful when it comes to writing papers. As long as you make an effort, she will help you. If you have any questions the night before things are due she is very quick to answer her emails.

Christa did an awesome job! I went into her class a a seasoned journalist and came out even better! Some of the things she teaches you might not understand at first, but give her time to teach and she will impress you! She also is, in fact, not Anti - Mormon! She is very accepting. Listen, hand things in and attend class, you'll do fine!

I struggle in school generally, but she was very clear and very organized which allowed me to understand and excel. She clearly explains what she expects and helps you go over papers in one on one meetings making it quite easy to write at least an A- paper. She is kind, as well as funny. I would definitely recommend her and I would take her again.

Christa is an incredibly intelligent and thoughtful professor. If you're an English major, try to take at least one course from her. You'll learn something useful. Guaranteed.

This was my second class with her and even though she is hard when it comes to papers, she wants you to learn and write your best. Having her for Senior Seminar was the best choice ever! She is a bit critical but this is the class you take once you are a senior to step out into the "real" world. Best professor to learn how to organize a paper.

This was by far my favorite English teacher! She was so amazing! We had to write many papers in class, but it was easy because she would sit down and review our papers with us. She was always helpful in anyway she can. Must attend class, but its worth it. Take home quizzes are weekly, and very easy! Take this class she is amazing!

Christa taught the subject in a way that will change the way I see the world. One of the best teachers I've had who cares so much about her students. This is one of the classes that will make college the experience it is. The work is hard but she pushes you to be a quality writer. Christa is a teacher that makes a difference.

I absolutely loved her class. She is very passionate and gets very involved with the class. You can tell she has a passion for what she's teaching. The class is very discussion-based, so you'll need to show up and participate. Overall, her grading was tough but fair. She expects you to write well, obviously.

Christa is an awesome instructor. She is the only professor I have had that I feel cares about the success of her students. Just about every two weeks class is canceled to have personal interviews with her to discuss and review your papers before they are submitted. Not an easy class. You will learn a lot. She cares so much that you actually learn.

Christa is the best English professor I have ever had. The first half of the semester is really vigorous, but by the end you pretty much have written your 10 page paper. Her textbook is UNREAL. I will use it to write every research paper I'm required to write for the rest of my college career. She cancels class to meet with her students one on one.

Christa challenges her students in a good way. Her class was very structured. Our discussions in class were great fun. The assignments (six or seven readings, two papers, three job/grad school-related mini projects) were not too onerous, but very helpful for our futures. Substantive class when taught by Christa.

Take ENGL 3090, Academic Writing for English Majors, first. Dr. Albrecht-Crane will expect that you have.

Christa is definitely one of my favorite professors. She is very organized and is very good at helping us understand difficult texts. She normally didn't require us to buy an expensive textbook, which I really appreciated. She gave us access to pdf's instead. The readings can be hard, but not after she explains them. I learned so much in her class!

Christa is one of the best professors I've had in my college career so far. Super engaging, very excitable, and overall very laid back. Only two 3-4 page papers which actually go together, an annotated bib and a final 10-page research paper which she spends the last month of class on. Go to class though, you won't want to miss her fun discussions!

Christa was so great. The way she lectures makes sense, and every paper goes together in some way. She is very willing to help you if you need it, and she is super nice. Probably the best English class I've taken yet. She has one on one meetings with you, and every time we were done I'd feel more confident about my writing.

I loved this class. She explained things about academic writing that never made sense before and it suddenly clicked for me. She doesn't assign you too many essays and I felt like I actually created something pretty good at the end. She also tells you exactly how you can improve. She does call students out a lot but she just wants participation.

Lots of reading and writing, but great instruction. Would definitely take any class from her.

I have always hated writing and english, and thought I was pretty bad at it, but I LOVE HER CLASS. I actually learned, and felt intelligent. She provides really individual feedback, she cares about how each student is doing. Really passionate about what she does. Her class is a lot of work but it is so worth it.

Christa is an amazing teacher! She loves what she does and tries to help everyone else love English. She is homework heavy, a take home quiz is due almost every class, and there are about 5 big papers in the semester. It is an intense class, but so worth it because Christa is great. She cares about how students are doing and wants everyone to pass.

This class is hard. But if you stay on top of it you will succeed. The overall topic of the class is Post-structuralism, and Christa is great at explaining it. She expects a lot and wants you to be a good writer, but she is also fair in her grading. There are DEJs due twice a week, one Midterm paper (3-4 pages) and one final paper (5-7 pages).

Christa makes you proud to be an English major. Her lectures are clear and always arrive at a clear point. Yes, there are many many lectures, but they were never boring. Christa knows what she is talking about and can get you excited about a subject. After taking 2600 from a different professor, I hated theory. But Christa changed that with 3890.

On the first day of class, Christa came across as overly strict and made the class sound overwhelming, but within a week, her fun, excited, and caring personality shone through. She values the time she has to spend with the class and makes the most of it. I rarely feel like an English class is worth my time, but Christa made this one well worth it.

Christa comes across as tough and really intimidating, but she is probably one of the coolest, most caring professors in the English department as a whole at UVU. She is wonderful! She is a really tough grader, but her feedback is invaluable. This class made me passionate about my degree again. Christa is awesome!

Christa was an amazing teacher to have for English. While students had to put in a lot of work, she gave through feedback and structured the class to help students as much as possible. However, if you're not good at keeping up with homework you will not do well since an important part of the class is discussion about said homework.

I won't lie, Christa is a difficult professor. She's a tough grader and has high expectations, but if you let her she'll transform your writing for the better. Hands down the most influential teacher in my time at UVU. She's passionate, wildly intelligent, and she gives amazing and very specific feedback. Not rocket science. Listen and you'll pass.

The best professor I've had at UVU. She is extremely well knoweledged in the subject and is very good at explaining theory and wants to make sure you understand. I'm not gonna lie, she has high expectations and this class is a lot of work, but it's worth it. I feel like I've become a better writer and student because of her and the class.

Professor Albrecht-Crane is excellent! She helps you and gives you plenty of chances to reach out if you need help. She always gives feedback on EVERY assignment, which helps you know exactly how to succeed in her course. You will have to write several papers for her class, but that is to be expected from an English class.

Christa is an amazing teacher. That being said, be prepared to read and to write A LOT. Her class is not easy, but she is willing to be flexible. She provides excellent feedback on your papers. I learned more about writing from her than any other professor.

Dr. Albrecht-Crane is the most intelligent person that works at UVU. She is learning everyday, reading articles, publishing materials, reading fiction, theory, memoir, academic works, etc. She helps you and cares about you. She is perfect.

She is the most caring prof. I've ever had! I got incredible and meaningful feedback every. single. assignment. As long as I did the papers she was willing to be flexible with my timing. She is very knowledgeable and great at teaching. I couldn't recommend her more. The weekly reading responses seemed like a lot, but I didn't mind too much.

Great professor, very passionate, not for everyone. She's great at giving feedback and grades well, but is very particular at the way she wants things done. A lot of filler assignments but overall not too bad, I can imagine she'd be a very formative teacher for higher level English classes.

Professor Crane is amazing! She is a great student advocate and a great teacher. I felt so accomplished by the end and the class which was just a great experience all around. She is also great at giving personal feedback! She annotated every assignment so I wanted to do a good job on them and improve- I do think I improved so much because of her!
