Krimmer is an amazing lecturer, and all quizzes are online. She tells you what lectures to use for each of the quizzes - there isn't a final. Attending lectures is mandatory. The essays are a little strange - the requirements are particular so it feels as if you're writing to check everything off her list rather than write to explain your thoughts.

Professor Krimmer is a great lecturer and all the quizzes were online and you were able to use lecture notes. She does take attendance during lecture so it is mandatory but her lectures give you all the information you need for quizzes and essays. There are only 2 essays the whole quarter and she gives great advice about them during office hours.

Professor Krimmer is quite literally such a joy to be around, I am always looking forward to her class and her personality is just amazing, she makes me laugh a lot. Her essays can be difficult but she provides so much help. One thing that is kind of off is that her quiz questions are sometimes worded strangely, but they are open note so its okay.

Professor Krimmer was very kind, lenient, and understanding. When I was sick she gave me a paper extension (4 days) and didn't mark me as absent. The weekly assignments consist of writing 3 facts from the lecture and that was that. The tests were open book, meaning you could look at your notes or the slides.

The class consist of 3-4 tests which were open book and multiple choice. Each multiple choice question had two options meaning that you had a 50-50 chance of getting it either right or wrong. I would suggest taking advantage of the slides as they typically had the answers explicitly on them. Professor Krimmer is exceptionally nice.

Overall a great prof. She likes what she teaches and cares about her students. Class was based on 4 quizzes, 2 essays. Attendance is mandatory, lectures are recorded. You have to pay attention to what she says in lecture and take good notes. Essay prompts were confusing but she's gives extensions. All quizzes online and open note, no final.

She's honestly fine. Her lectures tend to be a bit dense and for a person with a low attention span, it was hard focusing on her lectures. However, it's clear she really is passionate about what she teaches and can be pretty funny at times. The TA who graded my essays was extremely nitpicky on the accuracy of my arguments which was pretty annoying.

I took this class as a GE. I thought the lectures were well done and she clearly cares about the subject. The work load was not too difficult. There were little assignments for each class but were very easy. There were 2 essays and 4 open note online quizzes throughout the quarter (No final!). I would definitely recommend this class!

i found her okay. lectures were informative and she's clearly passionate. she's lenient with extensions and generally quite kind but grading can be harsh, especially on essays. deviations from the prompt or standard essay style are punished. sometimes she and her TA feel set in their ways. workload is reasonable.

(winter 25) I really liked her class! It can be a bit repetitive at times but I found the content interesting and the essays were not too difficult. The quizzes were open note and online, very easy to get a good grade. attendance is mandatory but I'm unsure about the details on how many classes you can miss. She seems very nice and is pretty funny.

Krimmer is a nice professor, but GER 010 is so unengaging and speeds through roughly 75 slides per class (usually not enough time to write down what is on the important slides, the information is needed for the 50 question quizzes). There is a lot of busywork and attendance is mandatory. Work is doable, just a lot of it and not interesting.

Lots of homework

She's very passionate and the workload isn't bad. She kinda speeds through lecture slides and it isn't engaging if you aren't interested in the topic, but there's lecture notes and slides in canvas. Quizzes are open-notes, no time limit, and very simple questions. She gives a lot of resources for help on the essays.

Amazing professor!! Such an interesting class and easy take-home quiz and final. This class is very easy and also lets you learn about fairy tales. Class is mandatory, but it's great.
