be prepared to work hard and long hours reading novels and excerpts (some long, some not so long) and writing papers; regardless of exerted effort, one still should expect to fail or slip in a "D" grade "tops"; unreasonable expectations on all counts; it's tough to understand and to comprehend the readings; no curving - tough grader; an intimidator

She’s is bad teacher. She’s a smart woman, but I like I wrote she’s the smart one. She went to Brown, and I guess she has those expectations for all who students, which is great, but frankly not everybody feels the same about English like she does. She’s a tough grader, and when you ask her for help, she will confuse you more than help.

She's an excellent professor. Her intention is to teach you as much as you could get from a writing course. She'll demand you to show the stuff you learned in the assignments. On the other side, she's often at the writing center to help you with these assignments. I'm a former ESL student, who took this course as a honors module, and I've got an A!

Lord help who ever takes her class. I am currently taking her class and its the most stressful time in my entire educational experience. She expects you to finish all her assignments on time but she takes forever to grade them. Even if she grades them the feedback is just a checklist that barely explains what you did wrong.

Currently in the class. She gives more attention to her favorite students. After the lecture it gets quiet and we are not allowed to talk! IT GETS REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE!! She doesn't explain assignments clearly. And doesn't really care for any of her students and GIVES NO FEEDBACK! You have been warned. Run while you can.

This class has been a nightmare for me. No matter how much effort you put on this class, you may not get the grade you desire. In addition, get prepared, because you are going to discuss ONLY ONE TOPIC throughout the whole semester. This class has been monotonous and really painful, I hope I do not take this class again.

Honestly, she isn't that bad but she has her flaws. Very strict and can confuse you when explaining things. Assignments are weighted individually, and these are assignments have a specific standard to meet. They are very difficult. Just read and do assignments and you should be good. Even missing one can mess you up. Good Luck, you gonna need it.
