She is really passionate about her teaching, it is quite obvious from lecture. She is very helpful and pretty much spoon-feeds you what she wants on her tests, which are essay-like. But don't let that alarm you, she's fairly easy if you attend class everyday and take notes.

Dr. Edenfield is so fun to listen to and learn from. I really enjoyed her class. You have to do the reading to pass however because she gives quizzes everyday. The quizzes are very easy if you read.

Dr. Edenfield is such a down to earth woman. She cares about her students more than anyone I've ever seen. Go to class because there are daily quizzes but they are just a few questions that she informs you about before. Her love for literature is inspiring. I wish she could teach every single class I take. Do yourself a favor and take Dr. Edenfield

Dr. Edenfield is a phenomenal professor. She truly helps you understand the works and if you don't agree with her ideas and you have evidence she loves to have a debate. She helps refine your writing style and was always available in her office. Truly a fantastic woman.

Dr. Edenfield was by far the best professor I've ever had. I've always hated reading, however she made reading fun. I always looked forward to her class and what she had in store for us. She has such a passion for her work and the reading that she teaches that it is reflected in her teachings and in her students.

Dr. Edenfield is the reason I have an English minor. I have always liked reading and writing, but standardized classes made me lose interest. Dr. Edenfield is so passionate about the works she teaches and cares about every student that walks into her classroom. She made me love English again. Take her.

Its been 29 years since Ms. Edenfield's class. I was a freshman, and was recommended by my first english teacher to be in the honors english class, which edenfield taught. she was awful. She taught almost nothing about writing. her focus was pushing her political agenda. I'm a published writer today, but she set me back years.

Dr. Edenfield is truly AMAZING!! I took her ENGL 2100 class and she is the best professor I have ever had. She really cares about her students and is passionate about what she teaches. She is one of those professors that makes you want to change you major to English. Do the readings, go to class, & the tests are easy. I highly recommend her.

I took her for online mini-mester and it was not an enjoyable class. Each week there is a GROUP essay, tons of reading, and discussion questions. She is a super tough grader. Three books are required to purchase & read the material or you won't do well. If you end up in this class, communicate with her and she will help you out.

One of the best English professors at GSU. She is a TOUGH grader so be ready to work for your grade, but she gives amazing feedback and will read as many drafts as you giver her. Minute papers are important so make sure to read, but she will let you make them up if you are out sick (she is an understanding professor when it comes to sick leave).

She will grade your papers like they have somehow wronged her, but she will also talk you through everything you did wrong and help you fix the mistakes. If you are taking her class be prepared to have your ego bruised, but do not be afraid to ask questions. Although she is a tough grader, she never makes you feel stupid for making a mistake.

Dr. Edenfield makes me remember why I like literature classes. She is passionate and caring about her students. Participation is encouraged heavily and discussions are usually great. She is not big on lecturing so classes tend to be more discussion focused. Beware the minute papers, and make sure to read before class.

I took this as a minimester and really enjoyed it. It has lots of response questions on the reading (1/week ~4-6 questions). I always answered long responses and usually did well. Very nice professor and is willing to answer questions quickly. Make sure you answer prompt. She provided all readings on folio except 1. Would take her again!

Amazing professor, loved having her spring semester!!! Everything in her class is paper only, you have to come to class prepared with the material. She recommends printing everything out right away. So make sure to have a 2 inch binder for her materials. There is a quiz taken at least every lecture day but isn't difficult. 2 exams in the class.
