She is an extremely engaging professor who shares alot of insight not just within the scope of english literature but to life and current events. A good majority of class is dedicated to discussion which is awesome. There is a good amount of reading involved (Short stories. The writing isn't too rigorous. Very fun class and very engaging professor!

There is a medium amount of work. She doesnt keep track of your grade you have to do it. At the end of the semester a portfolio is due and it contains all your grades. We had around 6 inclass essays and 2 take home essays. Attendance is mandatory. If the class watched a movie and you were absent, you would fail the essay. Tests are easy if you read

Professor Mungen is awesome! She is motivating, helpful, fun and strict. You must read ALL the reading assignments to pass the quizzes and participate in classroom discussions.

Professor Mungen is a great professor with a ton of experience as a writer. She tries to help all students in the class with their writing and her class is structured very simply. Take her if you're willing to put in the time and effort to read and do all the writing assignments and participate. If you do that, this class is an easy A.

Mungen is the least articulate teacher I have ever taken. She often gives out poor grades for not following instructions that are made up after the fact. Several of the corrections she made on my papers were, in fact, incorrect. She doesn't keep a gradebook. Your grade is determined by what she feels you deserve, not by any kind of point system.

Found her to be very rude. She also constantly changed her opinion. She would talk about the insignificance of a college degree and how it's a waste of time and money and than the next day she would rant about how important it is. Her instructions were also very unclear and constantly changed heading format.

She is very outspoken. She stops grading your paper if you make too many mistakes in beginning. Sometimes this is bad because what she considers mistakes may be a small mistake to you. Be prepared to do a lot of revisions if you make the smallest mistake. She doesn't show grade until end of class. She sometimes gives kids grade they don't deserve.

Each class you are assigned to write a short essay -- usually a few paragraphs. It's not hard, just pay close attention to what the prompt is (sometimes there's a crucial detail that you might miss if you're goofing off) and you'll get an A. She doesn't use Canvas/have a way that you can check your grade. Which is lame, but not that big of a deal
