Excellent! Really cares about her students and does an outstanding job of drilling in those literary terms that are so tedious.

English instructors don't come any better - she's one of the most thorough markers there is, adores students who work hard and try their best, AND she is absolutely committed to teaching. She definitely deserved her student teaching award.

Shes insightful, amazing, knowledgeable, kind and wants to teach. You will KNOW how to read and write at the end of her course. VERY approachable. Highly recommended

The hardest marker I have ever come across. Insane! I recommend NOT taking her right out of high school-- you'll think all profs are this hard, and it isn't true. Really nice lady, really good lectures, really hard marking.

Very good prof. Very helpful and cares about her students. Marking is fair (but not easy), which is good if you intend to major in English. I would definitely recommend for English majors, but not if you just need an English credit.

Brilliant. Also warm, funny--honest, perceptive and fair-minded. unequivocal about writing but kind, respectful& generous towards students, no favoritism. All about excellence . Profound insight and humor--a great course. A real Prof. with vast knowledge & high standards- no postmoderm hack!. Best English prof bar none. Rich, and rewarding.

Margaret is a wonderful prof. She cares a lot about her students, and will do whatever she can to help you succeed. I loved her reading selections! An English degree is not complete without at least one class with Margaret!

I took 354 because it was compulsary. I took 354 with Margaret because she is a great Prof. She's tough but fair. You can't argue with the fact your work needs to be improved. No easy A's and you'll be better for it. Brings great enthusiasm and passion to any class.

Great teacher, very friendly and easygoing

really caring, helpful professor

She is the best prof EVER! She's a funny little lady who LOVES her material. Her classes are great to attend, she is funny and charismatic. She does miss a lot, but how is that a bad thing? her marking in this class was not hard at all.

She is actually very knowledgable and only marks hard so that we take the course seriously. I ended this class with an A-, she is a fair marker and will go over things with you if you ask her. Cares genuinely about her students, opportunity to re-write your first essay sometimes occurs. I recommend her.

She is sweet and cares for her students and their interest in the course. She will give you any help she can and enjoys it. She seems to be a strict marker though. It will not be an easy A course, but I imagine getting a B will be no difficult endeavor. As some have mentioned here, she DOES believe B to be a good grade, but we all know it isn't.

She is so passionate!! Prof. Hadley wants others to love it as much as she does.

Hadley is an awesome prof. She is always encouraging of students and is always available for help. She is passionate about the subject which makes the class more interested. Her openness and understanding is refreshing. I will definitely take another course with her if I can and highly recommend her as a prof!

She is extremely helpful and knowledgeable!

Professor Hadley is a passionate, fair and challenging English teacher. She will make you work hard to improve your writing, but she is kind and reasonable. She is the best teacher I have ever had. She does miss some classes due to health problems, but she always has a good reason and gives as much notice as she can.

If I could chose another grandmother I would pick Margaret. She was an amazing prof, if you ever have the chance to talk to her one on one about a paper DO IT because she is super helpful and pretty much the sweetest person ever. :)

She is passionate about what she teaches! She did miss a couple of classes, but I don't think it hindered the class, it was actually nice to have a break sometimes. Alot of people thought she was a tough marker, but I thought she was very fair and much like the other english profs. She gives lots of comments and feedback....(you just can't read her

Awesome professor, so passionate about her teaching and the students are her number one priorotiy. cute little elderly lady who you wish was your grandma

beautiful person inside and out. Absolutely brilliant prof. and not the least puffed up about it like so many in English dept. Simply the best prof you will ever have-belongs at Oxford or Princeton. The real thing. I will never forget her or the lessons she taught me.If you want to learn, take Hadley's courses. For PC 'cant' take somebody else's

Stellar Prof. One of the best in the English department. Tough but fair. If you pay attention and put effort and insight into your writing, she will reward you. She's also open to creative projects as alternatives to essays. Brilliant.

The prof was the nices prof I have ever meet. I hated how I had to take an english class and didn't do very well in high school english. She made everything so interesting and when you go for help, she gives you alot of input to both improve your writing skills. If you need a english course, take it with her!!!!

Doctor Hadley is an amazing prof. She is very passionate about her work and that is evident in everything she does. Kind and approachable, she makes the experience of interpreting and analysing literature very enjoyable for anyone who is willing to put in the effort. If you've heard anything negative, question the source.

She is an extremely wonderful person. I learned that I wasn't as great of a writer as I thought and she took the time to help me improve my writing. She actually said that she would be there for me if I ever needed help in my university career. She can be a hard marker, but loves classroom contributions in discussions. Wonderful person and class.

Really nice person, really helpful, as everyone has said. Difficult to read her writing! I started out thinking I was a great writer, and she told me that as well, but I'm still horrible with essays. My marks on them improved marginally.

She is a very hard marker, but she is also incredibly sweet. It wasn't always the most interesting class, but I would definitely recommend her as a prof. She will drastically improve your writing skills, and she gives great advice.

Really sweet kind women who was both realistic and willing to cater to her students. She has high expectations in her marking, but it only pushes you to do better. I liked her a lot and would take a class with her again.

Amazing professor, so passionate about teaching. She is very clear with what she will tests and what her expectations are. Classes are very interesting. Best English teacher by far.

350 characters isn't enough to comment on Professor Hadley. Amazing prof in all aspects, from her teaching to the time & care she invests in her students. The material I learned is invaluable, will serve me the rest of my university career. She expects a lot but it only pushed me to become a better writer. Brava Professor Hadley!

I loved attending her classes, she is a fantastic person. Her class discussions are very engaging and she makes an effort to get to know each of her students. However, she is an extremely hard marker! and the writing assignments she would give in class were near impoosible to complete in the allowed time. in short great prof but harsh marker.

Very sweet lady and a great prof. Marking is really fair.

Kind lady who cares about how well you do in her class. Very easy marker. Hands down best english prof at the UofC

Maybe it's just that I enjoy poetry, but I found this class much easier than I feared. Margaret is a delightful lady, very helpful, and will make an effort to give you chances to improve your grades. She is not an easy marker, but every mark lost is lost for a reason, and she will help you a LOT with essays and projects if you ask.

Super nice lady but when she says that her class is not for the passively indifferent, she means it. Input in class discussion is really important as she makes notes and includes it in tests.

Absolutely awesome prof. She pick awesome texts to read and I was always engaged in class. Super helpful, I would highly recommend!

Margaret is an absolute treasure. If you have a chance to take a course with her, do so. She doesn't give marks away for free, but she is generous with how she allocates them, and she will teach you everything you need to get an A, all while making the class an amazing place to be. I would take any class she taught, hands down.

Margaret Hadley is hands-down the best professor at U of C. She is clear, extremely helpful, and very good at getting the class into the topics. You have to attend class to understand how wonderful this woman is. Oh and she made us cookies in class... I would take any class with her again.

Extremely enthusiastic and passionate. She's like a granny, and I really loved how she got to know everyone in class by name and face. Respectful. I thought she didn't like it if you gave an analysis she didn't like. I think me and her had a bad relationship so I didn't find her helpful, but she is helpful. Really good prof. It's a fun class.

Amazing English prof. You will do well in the class if you attend lectures and take notes on what she is saying. All tests and essays are basically straight off what she says in lecture. She's extremely helpful if you're confused. I also liked how she takes time to get to know everyone in her class!

Hadley is a tough marker for her essays, and exams, she looks for very specific answers. If you attend class, make sure you participate as she likes people to. Also sit closer to the front as it's really hard to hear her, she likes to put class discussed questions in her exams and midterms as well. There is limited time for her midterm and exams.

Simply the most wonderful professor in the world. Brilliant, caring, passionate about her subject. Hadley is one of the very few great scholars left --at this campus at any rate. Only take if you prefer to get a first class education, instead of postmodern drivel.

LOVE Professor Hadley. I'm actually very sad the class is over. There are a lot of assignments but they are all marked fairly and the students are given second chances to write and improve. Professor Hadley is very kind, always wants to learn more about her students, and she makes her class interesting and fun to attend. Loved every minute!

Good teacher, clear, concise and British.

Great Prof, I'm not much of a public speaker but for this class from day 1 I sat in the front row and participated in class discussion. Attendance and participation matters a lot with her and it will help your grade by the end of the semester. All in all, this class was an absolute pleasure to take.

Professor Hadley is a really good professor, but it's a lot of work to pass this class. Pay attention, go to all of the lectures, and make sure you understand all of the books really well!

English is a tough class for me but Professor Hadley made it bearable. I considered dropping the class but when I approached her with my concerns she was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond, I am glad I had her as a professor. She expects you to attend each class and it is very helpful with analysis exams.

I was hesitant to take english but i'm glad I took it with Dr. Hadley. I asked for help and she gladly helped. Her tests are based on what she says in lectures - so take good notes. As for essays or assignments, write clearly and concisely, do not use big words, and peer review it. Come to class everyday and listen, she likes people who do !

Great professor! Would take again!

Margaret Hadley is a charismatic woman who makes lectures really fun. I took her course in the spring and her extended lectures passed quickly. As long as you put the work in, you'll do well.

Very clear, understanding, and knows what she's teaching- a respectable yet fun prof! Work load was very reasonable considering that it was one three-hour class per week. Two tests and two writing assignments, and readings were interesting.

VERY VERY VERY HARD MARKER!!! i took it last semester, i tried, i went to writting center, and i dropped at the end of the semester! she is absolutely profound, but if you are just taking it for requirement, don't take the class with her. I feel like 15 of the class either dropped or failed........

Margaret is a wonderful professor who truly cares about her students improvement and grasping of the subject. She gives you a chance to improve your mark and provides fantastic feedback. Her lectures are enjoyable and she engages the whole class. I would highly recommend any class with her as long as you're prepared to put in a little effort

Margaret was an Amazing Prof. I come from a science background and I hated English in high school. She actually got me to start reading for recreation. Definitely a hard grader on assignments, but if you are willing to put in of that extra effort and see her outside of class, she will help you get a higher grade! She rocks!

She genuinely cares for her students but she's very nit picky and a tough grader. The entire class failed her quiz and she pretty much blamed us, her tests can be impossible at times. Margaret is subject to be moody sometimes so beware but she's generally a nice woman. Go in to see her during office hours because you cannot read her writing.

I loved her class and her as a person. She is the sweetest lady! Her assignments are really clear about what she expects to be done. If you need help she is always willing to help you in her office hours (visit her). She is a tough marker, but she helps you improve your papers and writing skills. I highly recommend taking a class with her.
