Very nice woman--if you study and read what you're supposed to, you'll do fine in her class.
Turn in all your assignment on time. You would be fine.
pot head. lol. . no she goes off a lot. i really didn't like having her. she grades tough.
*WEIRD*first day of class we talked about how she was being followed by the FBI and how she was apart of the counter-culture. She grades pretty tough and is sometimes very easily thrown off topic. U can only have 5 absences or she drops a letter grade.

She didnt seem that bad for me. Her tests arent that hard. She is a little weird at teaching. Just do the reading and you'll do good.
Hippy teacher, I had a lot of fun in her class. Didn't mind showing up. She graded me easy, she always talked about fun jibber jabber. Really laid back, easy to talk to her. Easy to negotiate with.
Hard grader!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not very flexible.
Alot of people think she's hard but if you do your work, it's not that bad. She is a little hard on grading but you've just got to give her what she's looking for.
I highly reccomend to take her classes. Follow her instructions and you will be fine. If you try hard, you will get "A". I got "B" in her class, beacuse not always followed what she said
Class is not easy or really hard. Typical english class, sort of hard grader. Follow guidelines for papers EXACTLY. Does take attendance. Rarely stays on the topic.
She is a hippie :) And she would go on tangents on every possible moment in class. She will discuss assignments in class. She is a hard grader. If you have hippie opinions she will love you :) I worked really hard and got a B.
good teacher, but grades very hard. its impossible to get above a C in her class
She was a great proff. if you are ready to act like a college student and come to class and study a little you'll have not one problem in her classes. If not don't sign up and then leave her bad reviews. = D
She's really a great, funny person in class, but I made C's on all 3 papers so far, and I understand I'm no Shakespeare, but she doesn't give ANY slack on papers. Expects your writing to be perfect. :-/ Oh yeah and she's really big on this thing called MyCompLab, but its a pain in the ass.
Very nice person! And EXTREMELY helpful outside of class....she grades essays harder than most other teachers but only because if you see her during office hours, she will tell you EXACTLY what she looks for in an essay and will help you with your own paper. Very fun to talk to.
She is a nasty grader, it is impossible for her to help the student without her being bothered for she has the mentality of having to many students to help individualy. Strays out of content every day, and then expects to have the student do what she wants. Just keep life drama free, stear clear from the butcher.
Very hard grader. She helps you out if you ask but be specific. quizes are online open book very easy but make sure you look in the book. In class essay not that hard but the final and last assignment is ,you really need to work on them. Those are the ones she grades harder on. Great teacher but tends to get thrown off track.
She gets off topic easy but an intresting proffesor, is fun and likes her job, lenient if she likes you
Funny to talk to, she does stray off topic in class though. Grades fairly hard on the essays, so make sure you UNDERSTAND the assignment!
She gives assignments with very specific requirements, with very vague instructions and will give D's if you don't write from the very specific angle she wants. The essays assigns to draw from have a severe lack of logic and, in some cases, fact. If you can write a four page essay without putting any logic into it, you will do well in this class.
Shes...well, she's a little insane. Not to mention she smells like a smoke stack every day. She's a very hard grader, and a paper nazi, but if you go and talk to her, she's really helpful. But for the love of God, don't be late with your papers!!
The class is not a typical class at all and is based on participation. You get so much out of the class! However she cancels class frequently and sometimes can ignore students she feels like is not worth paying attention to. But overall she is very nice and the class was very interesting.
classes where interesting, she can get off topic really easily! just make sure you stick to the prompt for the essays and you'll do great! she likes short to the point, and a lot of compairing/contrast -just a little tip :)-
HARD teacher! She grades very hard and doesn't explain what went wrong. She does have quiz grads but still her class is really difficult. Just don't take her.
Very nice, very friendly. Easy course, almost all multiple choice tests with easy answers. Fun to listen to, and not boring at all.
Dr. Caver is GREAT!!!! She is a wonderful teacher, her class is fun to go to, her tests are easy, and it's not a boring class at all! If you keep up with the readings (which are not a lot), go to class especially on Fridays, listen and take notes...you'll get an A on every test!
She is an absolute liberal wacko. It takes her forever to grade a paper. She is the worst teacher I've had so far. Wait...she doesn't teach. If you have any sense, don't take her!
She doesn't post grades for a long time.
She is a scatter brained hippie moron. Her off topic ranting is obnoxious. She usually spends more than half the class just talking about her life or her uninformed, evoerly emotional, far left political ideologies.
her class is actually very cool. she's a straight forward woman..the people who posted those other comments probably flunked her class because they dont know how to take notes..she is probably the best literature teacher
I think Professor Caver is a great teacher. She made it interesting with stories. I don't think I've ever laughed so much in a college course. She made it clear what was going on and her tests weren't tricky. All I did was show up to class and pay attention, and I got an A.
I think she's a quirky lady with a lot of character, who's obsessed with Bob Dylan. I have to say I enjoyed her class very much.

Professor Caver is such a great teacher. I liked her so much I took a class with her again this year. Although her class is not an "easy A" like most people are looking for, if you actually do the work that is assigned and pay attention in class you will do great. She is so helpful when you need it and it doesn't hurt to get involved in class! :)
Avoid! I consider my self a good writer, but after taking dr Caver in the summer, and more than half of the students dropping her class, I had so low confidence in writing. She is not helpfull and if you expect an easy A, you should avoid this professor. You need to work really hard, but it won't be enough!
I thought Dr. Caver was a great teacher, she was very clear in all of the information provided. She prepares you for the test and her tests are straight forward. She made the class interesting to go to, I never once dozed off in her class. As long as you go to class and read the material you will get an A. She a good teacher, take her!!
Absolutely EASY A. She is very opionated-I dissagree with her views 100%-but she isn't biased in her grading or anything. She does take a while to post the grades back up. But she is a great teacher-her lecture format is perfect.
Good and easy professor. if you goto her classes, take notes, and pay attention then u pretty much got an A. Didn't hardly study on one of her test and still got a 99...hmm that tells you something ---> TAKE HER!
Dr. Caver is awesome!!!!! she cracks me up every morning. i recommend her to any one. her tests are straight forward and she even tells u whats gonna be on them. i made an A in her class. easy class!!
Dr. Caver was an amazing teacher. I only took this course because it was required as a core class, but her's ended up being the class I looked forward to the most. Just go to class and read the assignments and you will have an easy A. She is very straightforward in her expectations and helps you acheive them.
i love dr caver...she was my best teacher last semester with the biggest heart. i really think she cares more about her students than herself and those are the best teachers. class was really interesting too.
really nice teacher, listen in class and you will do good on the test, need the book but not reading doesnt hurt, just listent o class discussion
DO NOT TAKE HER FOR COMP 2 STAY AWAY!!! there were 35 students or so and 11 of us made it
just about as easy as they come, and you will enjoy going to class. dr. caver is an awesome human being.
Very easy tests. All from the notes and assigned readings. She is pretty cool and her lectures are actually enjoyable making it easy to attend for notes. Covers some interesting works.
I cant say that I enjoyed her class. She had lots of teachers pets and she rarely stayed with the syllabus. But if you do her basic daily work you should atleast get a B.
took contemporary english with her, she is a hippie and is really cool, you hardly have to read anything but still need to for test, go to class and she will explain most of the readings
She's definitely a fun teacher if you show up to class and know your material. She's extremely opinionated and hates it when students ask questions to which they can find an answer by themselves. She can come across as rude on WebCT as she can be really sarcastic. She also knows that this class is for non-english majors so she makes it easy!
I respect all my profs. but Caver is horrible, she is sarcatic and rude. i have asked her legitimate questions a number of times and she shows no respect for her students. The material is pretty easy but i got more help from fellow students then her. DO NOT TAKE!!!!
Not a class you want to miss unless you know somebody that takes good notes. Her test comes from readings and lectures. She is willing to clarify information. Likes class participation.
Dr. Caver is very rude. She made many students feel belittled in that she criticized their questions. She acted like a child on WebCt and never answered the questions being asked unless it was her favorite student asking. I do not recommend her at all. She is always absent and just is not what I hoped she would be.
Great instructor, do yourself a favor and don't ask a question to which you can find the answer on your own. If you don't like Dr. Caver then you must be a lazy head. Intro. to Lit., great class, better teacher.
Dr. Caver is nice, but definitely the most scatter-brained professor I've had. The class is not hard, as long as you read the book and follow her outlines. She's always late, if not absent--sometimes without notice. She reposted the syllabus 3 times to account for us falling behind or her being absent. If you must take her, be patient and read!
Great professor! Anyone who says she's rude just can't handle sarcasm i guess. She's very passionate about what she does. I was dreading this class because I can't stand literature, but now this has turned into one of my favorite. Tests are simple as long as you read and go to class you'll get an easy A
if you wanna get an a go to every class and write down everything she says. she gives a few bonus points as well.
Dr. Caver is nuts! Class was boring but what else would you expect? I would read the material before the test and I got a B in the class. I hate literature, but I took her because I read that she was easy... and she is. I'm sure if you care more about this class than I did, you should be able to get an A. I recommend this teacher to everyone.
If you do the reading and come to class you will do VERY well w/ Caver. She's VERY straight forward about what you'll need to know for exams. Her quirkiness and sense of humor made the class enjoyable for me. Also, her opinions and stress on historical context encouraged me to see our reading in a new, intersting light. I recommend...
Class was a breeze. Caver was prone to get off topic and rant. Wasted time going over common sense university policy. All you have to do is read the text and take the test. Some of the test questions were too specific considering how long some of the stories/poems were. Take the class though, easy A.
She inspired me to read for fun. She is so interesting and funny when explaining concepts so it's really easy to understand her. This was the only class I had on Friday and I always went because I wanted to, and no, I am no over achiever. She's hilarious, I learned so many life lessons from her.
Dr. Caver is my favorite professor ever! I got an A just by going to class and studying a couple days before the test. She is very interesting and liberal. I like that about her though. You will use the book every class and make sure you read the stories/poems for literature.
Professor Cavor is an awesome teacher. Her class is very easy if you go to class and study before the tests. You definitely must read the material given, and know your key terms very well that's the only way you'll pass. She's really funny and keeps her class interesting. I definitely suggest that anyone takes her. It will be worth it.
Dr. Caver is a little bit crazy at times but nice too... Don't ask stupid questions and don't ask what the homework was. Just read the the material and be prepared for class. She is a lot of fun if you stay on her good side. Just do your work! It's not that hard! She likes people who talk about their opinions... she is VERY opinionated& interesting
Easy class but i couldn't stand prof. caver. Just read the required material and you'll do fine. She's always late, she rambles and goes off topic for the majority of the class. I felt as if I wasted my time by GOING to class. Canceled about 6 classes without notice. Shares her personal opinion about everything.. very annoying
Took her for lit. She is awful. She has good intentions but she rambles on and on about ridiculous stuff. The people that went to class did worse than the people that didn't. Read the book, look up explanations to poems online. Oh, you will also listen to a LOT of Bob Dylan.
Dr. Caver is the best teacher I've ever had. Everyone that says different must be stuck up and bitter because she is the chillest teacher. She makes you want to go to class and her lectures are fun and entertaining and very helpful. You have to read before every class but it's short and easy. I am usually a slacker and she has changed my ways.
She's a little crazy but really passionate. It's an easy class as long as you go to class and do the readings.
I loved this professor! She can seem a bit off sometimes but it makes the class fun. Easy class, studied less than an hour for each test and got an A. Bring your book to class everyday.
Dr. Caver, is truely different. She does tend to ramble at times but the stories in the lit book have really insightful information. Her tests are really easy- basically definitions and overall concepts. I def. recommend taking her. Probably the easiest professor you will take. I made an easy A.
Gag. I absolutely loathed this class, it killed my interest in literature entirely. Bludgeoned it to death with a bedpan, even. I hated going to class, especially the four times she didn't show up and gave no notice. Constantly late, reeks of smoke, inconsiderate, hardcore liberal, Bob Dylan crazed and potentially a ****.(Was that a white girl?!)
Though a little cooky, she was nice. Literature is not at all my thing, but this class was definitely bearable. Just keep up w/the syllabus and her notes and you will do fine. Use spark notes if you get lost. Easy A or B.
Pro Caver is a very upfront professor she is kind hearted but definitely not a push over. As long as you follow the syllabus (which is very simple) and you will do fine. The tests are easy. I would highly recommend her.
Dr Caver is the most passionate professor I have ever encountered. She has a genuine passion for the material and knows what she is talking about. All you need to do is the minimal reading that she assigns and attend class regularly. Dr. Caver is a one of a kind professor, and I could not suggest to you more that you enroll in her class ASAP!
Doctor Caver is an amazing professor. I have nothing but praises for her teaching styles as well as her sense of humor. She does not teach poetry using Shakespeare, instead she uses Bob Dylan lyrics, which are more entertaining and easier to understand. I wish she taught more courses so as to have the privilege of taking her class again.
Very easy class just do the readings which arent long. and go to class EVERY day and u can make an easy A or B. although, she's rude, and makes u feel stupid when u ask questions sometimes. she tried with me... but i punked her real quick. lol, but most people end up looking dumb. FYI.
She reminds me of a favorite Aunt that loves to read. Her stories are cute and her teaching style is different. I would definately take her again!
Is late to class or cancels all the time.
Just do the readings before class, (which are short) and study for her tests (which are very straight forward) it's an easy A. Class attendance isn't mandatory, but it helps. No extra credit but she does drop your lowest test grade.
Stupid lady gave my a final grade of "B", in the class with an 89!!! she would not round up! and is very rude.
This teacher was amazing. I had her Fall 2009 & she was super sweet. She genuinely knows what she's teaching and has a great personality. If you read everything and go to class, you'll get an A. Tests are simple & with your HS education you should know the terms tested on. The only other advice I'll give is do NOT ask stupid questions! TAKE HER!!
She cancelled alot or did not show up. Complained of always being sick or her cat(s) dies. Smells very strongy of smoke. Grades super hard. She def has favorites. I overheard a guy saying he BS his paper and didnt write a conclusion & she gave him an "A" but for me a well written essay she gave me a "c" Dont waste your money.
Shes ok. She canceled A LOT, sometimes without even telling us and left us sitting there. She was also late when she did show up. I admit I did learn a lot WHEN SHE SHOWED UP. Tests are not that easy. They are extremly tricky. I actually spoke with her once and she was rude. Don't skip her class.
She NEVER goes to class and doesnt teach. Its an absolute waste of money. She has favorites and will fail if you doesnt like you. She also smells bad and is extremely rude and does not help her students. DONT TAKE HER!!!!
Her class is fairly simple. The majority of it covers things that I learned back in high school. She has a tendency to cancel class a lot, and when she does show up, she is typically late. Tests aren't difficult, they just require a knowledge of the required readings. Overall, a good professor. I would recommend her.
AVOID!! This prof grades waay too hard, i spent 4 good days on one paper, went to the writing center for editing, even had my parents edit it, and could not manage anything above a 70. Class is easy, all you do is sit in groups doing absolutely nothing. She allows no more than 4 absences as well when ironically SHE is the most absent one. DONT TAKE
like everyone said, she cancels a lot and shes very rude.
Use of Textbook-high. Attendance Mandatory?-no, actually, teach yourself. Extra credit-no. Exams-50Q multiple choice (weird for a LIT class). Like other people have said, she will cancel class unexpectedly, but not much is lost. Follow the syllabus, read the stories she assigns and go to the class before the test for a review. I made a C.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR...SHE EXTREMELY UNCLEAR ON WHAT SHE WANTS FROM HER STUDENTS, she grades extremely hard and is not consistent on grading your papers. She has her favorites in class and those are the people that make 100's on papers. STAY AWAY
The WORST professor I have ever had. She is rude and does not help much but insult you. DO NOT TAKE! It's fine to take a hard teacher, but atleast one that respects you.
Took her for ENG 2013 (Intro to Lit) during the Summer term. Grades were based on 5 Exams, she drops the lowest, 25% each. Exams covered the lecture material and assigned readings. Overall class was pretty interesting and I learned more about the subject. She loves Bob Dylan. I would recommend taking her class.
She is very straightforward- she puts outlines on Blackboard and if your read and pay attention you'll get an A. I would recommend her- it's easy but it's not a blow off class- you do have to attend and read (I never studied for a test but I went to every class and read and I have an A). She's funny too- I mean who else would teach about Bob Dylan?
Average class. Follow outlines and readings and expect a high grade. Review sessions are REALLY helpful.Class seems pointless but good to go to and stay informed.It was hard not to doze off or zone out because she jumps from one subject to another.
Not that hard of a class, must have book. She can be fun and likes to go off on tangents, but material and tests are easy if you follow review guidlines.
Very interesting teacher. She keeps class interesting, so its not hard to pay attention. She reviews constantly so as long as you go to class you shouldn't have a problem. Her personality can sometimes be offensive (she's very politically opinionated) but when it comes to the work load and grades, I'd recommend her.
Very easy class. No essays and good test revs. Can be hard to sit through class, and she sometimes criticizes students. Just listen to what she says about lit. Avoid repeating anything she says about life lessons or "facts" unless you want to look stupid. ex, "there is no word in English for man hater." word is Misandry
I took her for Intro to Lit. I love literature, but everything we seemed to read was SUPER depressing. She also goes off on tangents alot during class, so it's hard to WANT to go to class. She also talks about Bob Dylan excessively; his songs are on her tests. She's cool. If you have a hard time with Lit, I wouldn't take her.
She is a pretty good professor. Most of the class relies on the book, so it's not always 100% necessary to go to class as long as you do the reading and understand. She does go off on tangents all the time- sometimes it's interesting but sometimes it's annoying. She's very funny and has good stories. I'd recommend taking her.
Love this lady! She is hilarious! Lectures were so interesting, even when we were on topic! The stories we read in class were actually good. I learned so much in this class, and I thought originally it was going to be boring. You have to read when she tells you to, and read the stories more than once. Participate in class as well!
She constantly gets off topic but the stuff she says is usually interesting. If you're an English or Communication major, you'll most likely find her class VERY boring, because it is quite literally an INTRODUCTION to literature and its concepts. If you passed high school English, which if you're in college, you most likely did, you'll be fine.
I honestly stopped going to class because she would always go off on irrelevant tangents. Therefore, we would fall behind on the schedule so she always ended up excluding certain materials from the exams. You don't even really need to attend class if you paid attention to the handouts and did the readings from the textbook.
