I had this teacher two semesters ago. From the beginning she was not very friendly and could be intimidating. My problems began when she began writing hate notes to my friend and making comments about his race. During teacher evaluations she threatened us and told us she would come after us if we wrote anything bad about her. Wouldn't recommend!

She is a really nice person, works hard to give you good feedback, and helps you write better. 2 textbooks are required, you need to show up if you want to pass, and there is a lot of writing involved, but extra credit is available and she works with you so you can pass and get better. She is very clear and specific as well which is nice.

The format of the class was good: the components of the final paper were due throughout the semester so you couldn't procrastinate until the end. The problem is that her grading criteria isn't very clear, and she grades pretty harshly. She uses the "C average" model for grades so it's VERY difficult to get a good grade. Would NOT reccomend her.

Professor Schumann explained the assignments really well, and had assignments due within the main essay assignment so it was easier to stay on top of your essay. For example an assignment would be to turn in the first draft of your introduction and so on. These assignment made the final writing assignment not as intimidating and easier to write.
