Hudson has a fear of being politically offensive while teaching, and it hampers our ability to put the pieces of literature into context.

Kyra was a pretty good professor, you can tell that she enjoys her subject. It was an Intro to Fiction class so there was a lot of reading involved but the stories were really interesting and make for fun discussions. She encourages everyone to participate and will call on students by name to get them involved.

Kyra is a good professor. I took the hybrid class but it ended up being mostly in class. There are a few papers but she gives 5 points back for corrections made on the paper after she gives feedback. She's very disorganized and loses track of what she's doing a lot, but it made the class more fun. She was always coming up with new ideas. Really fun

I loved this teacher, her class was always one of my favorites to attend because the discussions we had were so interesting. We read from a book of short stories and 2 novels, all of which I thought I wouldn't like but ended up enjoying by the end! There is some group work but it isn't bad! Great feedback on papers, there were 3 in total.

She's a good teacher and genuinely cares for her students. Class discussions were interesting and overall productive, although she tended to be highly tangential, which could be both good (in the sense of exploring ideas) and bad (in the sense of being irrelevant). Easy to work with. The quantity of weekly/daily reading was excessive, I thought.
