Toughest grader I've ever seen, she should teach advance literature instead. Ive always been very good at writing and I passed with a C- which is ridiculous.

I have thoroughly enjoyed taking 1302 with Professor Rosenkranz. Her directions and assignments are clear and easy to understand. I liked that you didn't have to purchase an overpriced textbook. However, if you don't like reading novels, this class probably isn't for you. If you take the time to do the assignments, you can easily make an A.
