Overall she's great! She's funny, outspoken and trully does want her students to understand the text. Throughout the course she gives 2 wrting assignments, exams based on identifying quotes from the text which are about 15 pts each for about 4-5 random quotes and an essay. Sounds hard but it's not that bad as long as you keep up with the reading.:)

Heavy textbook usage, lots of reading required & you can't get away with not reading on tests/quizzes. Syllabus is dense, try reading ahead, this professor was behind in both 146A & 146B, but she did not minimize our reading, she expected us to do it all regardless of her organizational skills.

Tests consist of essays & identifications, meaning that after you read 1/4 of the syllabus, (20 or so works; full poems, stories, letters, etc...from various authors), you are given a single quote & expected to know the name of the work, author, & its context. Not a class I'd recommend for the light/casual reader or a non-English major.

There are so many quizzes that are given based off the reading. She quizzes you to check if you are keeping up with the reading. At first, she seems very blunt, but she grows on you. She offers up to 120 points of extra credit within 3 papers, which is kind of awesome because it completely saves your grade if you are falling behind. Just read . . .

She expects you to have mastered the content prior to the lecture. If the class doesn't know the answer to one of her questions she will say something like "we'll come back to that" but will never actually go over it. It felt pointless to go to her lectures.

Pretty sure she had me removed..rentacops KAREN She has poor grammar and lacks compassion. she told me "When it rains it pours", when my mom died.

Prof. E expects college level focus and attendance. But she can also be fun and funny. She knows her subjects well and offers good ways to show what you have learned. It's a lit class so there is lots of reading but no one is supposed to think its all "your cup of tea." Keep up and you will find new pieces and new writers to love.
