This teacher is really easy, as long as you do the stupid work, you will do find. and she is also very hepful. i do recommend her. especially for those who like turning late work in.

SHE IS VERY EASY, AS LONG AS YOU DO THE WORK, YOU WILL GET AN A. SHE EVEN ACCEPTS LATE WORK. SHE IS ALSO VERY HELPFUL.

Do all the work, very easy to get an A, accepts late work too!

she is ok, i hated the readings though

ok she makes the class feel like they are retarded sometimes, but at least she knows how to teach. you write alot of short papers but they are really easy and sometimes very interesting. do the work and you will be fine

This class is VERY easy. The essays are short and simple. But she does tend to give out a lot of busy work. She's very sarcastic and hates when you turn in rough drafts that haven't be "reworked," meaning completely rewritten. I wouldn't call her nice or friendly, but she'll you with drafts. This cl

The class was EXTRA EASY. Short papers. A lot of busy work. Like everyone else said, she does make u feel stupid sometimes. But the class is definitely a no brainer. U'd have to be a dumb ass not to get an A.

I wouldn't recommend this teacher.She's not helpful and makes you feel stupid. When people talk she makes these weird faces. The class isn't too difficult but it does get boring especially in the beginning when she talks and gives unnecessary pointless homework.

She definitley has her favorites! If you come to class and do your work, you'll be fine. It's nice that there are 3 papers instead of having 1 big one. Even though sometimes she would make the students feel stupid by the expression on her face, she's really not intimidating.

The other people writing reviews here really don't know what they're talking about. Of course there will be a lot of reading and writing -- it is an English class. I thought she was very helpful and gives ample opportunities to succeed in her class. Nice lady, sometimes a little crazy, but I'd reccommend her to anyone.

she was really helpful and made sure everyone understood what she assigned/was talking about. assigns writing, its not that hard. you just have put in a little effort and if you dont understand, shes easily approachable and gladly helps. a little different, but still a good teacher - would recommend her.

take her. she seems difficult at first, homework kind of pointless, but is willing to take the time to tell you what she wants for an A paper. worthwhile.

Pretty lenient with when things are due. Actually makes you read St. Martins & Green Guide. Helpful. Kinda weird.

She is awesome! She has a lot of office hours outside of class and she'll read your essay before it's due. She is also very understanding and even cancelled class when we suggested it! Three essays on one person, kind of a lot of work, but you can pick someone youre interested in so it's fun.

She's a fun person to learn from and always picks interesting topics

loved her! i had her for a night class, but it never felt long. she was entertaining and related really well with the students. she was always available for extra help. i would definitely take another class from her.

SOme of the things that they say about this teacher is true but this was a great class. I had a lot of fun. There was a lot of work but it was worth it.

I loved going to this class. She is funny and makes even boring things fun. I would go back to this class in a heartbeat!

She should probably get that attitude checked. I hated going to that class, she was mean! but it was very easy for 104.. only 3 short papers all on the same person and i used the same 5 sources for all of them.

I don't know why she has such bad reviews. I love Salli, and so did everyone in my class! Sure, there were a lot of readings, but what do you expect? You signed up for a class called "Contemporary Literature in Chicago," duh. The readings are interesting and immersion week was a blast. Definitely recommended. :)

She's a good teacher who makes lessons clear and writing interesting. Only issue is don't get on her bad side cause she will NOT let it go. Other than that... pretty good class.

There is not much homework, but the essay drafts and presentation. She is flexible and appreciates participation.

True, homework was minimal, but when doing drafts...be prepared to print out A LOT of copies. Easy class but be warned she is nuts!

Salli was super helpful inside and outside the class with recommendations for further reading, etc. The work was average and there was a lot of reading. You're pretty much expected to talk about the reading, too, so go prepared. Ooh, she also accepts late work, which is a huge bonus.

There is a lot of reading and a lot of homework for this class, be warned! She also makes you buy A TON of books. She is nice enough, but she can be a bit nuerotic at times. She has passion for the content, but she gets really nit picky about things which is annoying.She also makes you print out everything, so make sure you are prepared for class.

Salli is an interesting prof-she assigns wonderful readings and usually engages the class in good discussions. However, she assigns a silly amount of busy work throughout the quarter, which is irritating. She can be very kind and insightful, yet at other times she would be very short-tempered and even rude. She is quirky, most definitely, but cool.

Not sure why anyone would give this professor a bad score. I've taken her for two different classes and I learned so much from each. She does assign more work than the average professor, but she gives good feedback and doesn't give you more than you can handle. She's very down to earth and funny. She will really help your writing. Take her class.

Personally, I took Professor Seeley for WRD 103 & 104 - and I have to say I warmed up to her. In the beginning she may seem difficult or course, but when you get down to the work she really does care about making her students better writers and preparing them for their academic careers. She's a great professor for first years - highly recommend.

Salli has an incredible heart and is willing to work closely with students in order to make sure they're achieving the goals and standards she set for them. She cares deeply about her students as well as the material she teaches. I had her my freshman year and the class legitimately changed my life.

I'm so lucky to have had Professor Salli for my Chicago Discover Class last fall quarter. Apart from being a lovely human being she's so smart and knowledgeable when it comes to literature and she's more than happy to listen. She does make you work a little for your grade but it's all to help make you blossom into a real student. Highly recommend!

A lot of reading and analyzing a book. but the class was fairly easy. just participate and you'll be fine. she's really nice and open minded. cool class she helps a lot too. wants you to succeed

Professor Seeley's class isn't hard at all. The things we read in there were actually really good. You just have to beware of the contract based grading system. Recommended: Please do your 3 mandatory office hours meet-ups sooner rather than later. I did that, & everything worked out fine. Some people didn't & they ran into trouble.

I honestly loved this class!! I loved the readings she chose for us to read. The class discussions were fun because the readings provoked some interesting thinking. Although I do remember having a few papers, she really sets you up for the final project. I wish I could take this class again!!

There is a fair amount of reading that can be tedious, but a lot of it was really interesting and most of the work from it was just small and large group discussions. About 3 papers, but shorter than one long one at the end. Gives feedback on all the papers if you want. This makes it very easy to improve a paper and receive a good grade.

This class was so much fun! It may sound boring but the reading provoked interesting discussions in class which this course is based on. Grading was based on a B contract so if you fulfill all the requirements you have nothing to worry about. She is also very helpful with papers and gives you chances to fix them up

Professor Berg-Seeley is one of those teachers who helps to make the economical burden on college seem worth it. If you enjoy remaining stagnant in your growth as a student, I would advise against taking her class. However, if you enjoy growing as a student, and more importantly a human being, you would be truly missing out to not take her class.

Prof. Seeley is incredible. She's well versed in everything taught during class. She wants to help you & she's funny. None of the assignments are long or difficult & she accepts late work. You'll read interesting short stories and discuss them during lecture. I learned a lot and had fun. Not too much hw. Easy A+, and a potluck at the end!! :)

I would definitely take this class again. Salli is very accessible outside of class and worked with me a lot. She really sets you up for your final paper. Be prepared for lots of reading and lots of essays. I would definitely say there is a lot of homework but it is enjoyable!! - definitely not a class you can slack off in :)

I really loved taking her class. She treats her students with respect and values everyones contributions. You definitely have to work hard, but I found our assignments enjoyable and well worth the effort. I learned a lot in this class and I think it will all be applicable to my life for a long time. Its a really great class.

she was rude and Im not sure if she meant to come off that way but she assigned a lot of papers as well. she gave us a lot of busy work which I felt was unecessary. if u take her, be prepared to read a lot because she made us read 3 books for the explore Chicago class. One of the books was 400 pages. Its a lot of work and she grades pretty hard.

The material explored in class definitely required a fair bit of thought, but only because these matters were reflective of current events. While the course was challenging, it was also interesting. Salli went above and beyond to help accommodate me and help me work through the issues I faced. Her care for her students is undeniable. A great prof!!

Professor Seeley was a fantastic professor. The readings she chose for class and the work that she assigned felt relevant to the topic at hand (multiculturalism) an dI learned a lot. It is impossible to "hide" in lectures, but the material and the way she presents it is so engaging that I wanted to participate (and i consider myself introverted!)

I really liked this class. Sure, theres a lot of reading, but the reading was interesting and worked with the class. She is very excited to teach and you can tell she wants us to all do well. Not only in her class, but as individuals. Lots of group work but she helped us learn how to work well with others.

She put a lot of care into teaching us and she really cared about us as students and people. She was tough and funny, just don't take things personally. She grades unconventionally but was available outside of class if we had questions about anything. As long as you do your best, read, and communicate with her you should be fine. 10/10 recommend!

Seely can be particular & grades unconventionally but is deeply passionate & knowledgeable. Facilitates engaging class conversation.Has a tough sense of humor but cares about her students, is approachable if you're having issues. Lots of reading-but if you're interested in American history/politics/communism, a super interesting class- I recommend.

She definitely can be a little snarky, but overall I really enjoyed her as a professor. M/C American Writers was a really interesting class, and all the readings were engaging and led to a lot of good conversations. This class is mostly talking to each other, and doing short responses to readings before each class. Very manageable amount of work.

Salli Berg may seem a little annoying at first but she really does grow on you, most of the negative ratings are of students who honestly don't try. There is a lot of homework, however, none of it is really hard nor time-consuming. As well, if you put in effort and do the work assigned you receive an automatic B at the end of the quarter.

This is a fun Explore Class. We explore the city and connect references from books to places in Chicago.There is a decent amount of work, but if you don't fall behind and turn in work, this is an easy A. Salli is very understanding and makes the class lively with her comments and wit, and it makes the discussion part of the class entertaining.

Consistent reading, but they aren't very long at all. 2 small writings each week, few papers here and there. Really passionate about her topic, just wants students to be engaged. Make a few insightful takeaways regarding readings and you'll be alright. Just be nice and show decent participation and you should get an A. Overall low-mid stress course

SBS genuinely does care about her students and is very engaging, but can come of condescending at times. LOTS of readings, majority of them are "short" stories or poems, but there are lengthier readings that are expected with little turn around. 2-3 weekly assignments. Be prepared tot talk in small groups and to the class for daily discussion.

Many of the people saying they didn't enjoy Salli's Explore Chicago class are those who expected an easy A. There are a lot of readings, but none of the responses are terribly intensive and can be completed thoroughly in a few sentences. She does a great job helping you get adjusted to college life and I would absolutely recommend taking her class.

Honestly, the course load wasn't that much it was just a few weekly readings that were very short and writing about them. It's not a class you can just scrape by without doing the readings which I guess is why people don't like it. She's also very sarcastic but if you like that sense of humor, it's fun. She genuinely does care about her students.

She provided many opportunities for us in this course to learn new things and follow interests. For example, during my first year she secured for us the opportunity to meet Kevin Coval and get our copies of his book of poetry signed by him. She is very communicative, and if you put yourself to meet her halfway she will be more than willing to help.

Professor Seeley is a great teacher who clearly loves her work and knows Chicago well. She gives a lot of homework—I joked it felt like three classes—but the assignments are manageable if you're not afraid of plenty of reading and writing.
