She's a great professor quite honestly. She's kind and funny. Just be ready to read! I found all the readings online so you won't have to buy a text book. It was great!

Professor Davis is one of the few teachers who actually enjoy teaching the subject material. Rather than learning from a big boring textbook with a bunch of quizzes she gives novels, movies and poems that are both interesting and educating. She is also very understanding of situations so long as you talk to her. She is always available to help

Professor Davises' classes will teach you to think critically about the motivations and subconscious forces that act upon the characters in the novels, as she encourages her students to take on a big picture view. No easy A, expect to read many novels and write well conceived essays. Come to class, know what you will discuss, and read beforehand!

the class was difficult because of the amount that we had to read (5 books), not because of the assignments (2 page journal on each book, some simple discussion board posts, final paper 6 pages). what made this class so amazing was the professor's energy and acceptance of our views on toni morrison's novels. she made such an enjoyable environment

Professor Davis class was easy however you are only graded on the journals and homework(s). The journals and homework(s) however during the final essay she grades it way hard even if you follow the instructions to the max. She also expects participation however only chooses the same people again and again rather then giving others chance.

Prof Davis's grading is not fair. The readings she picked for the class were good, but the journals were graded harshly. She is not understanding and she believes the world evolves around her class, I did not learn from her class, and I did not improve my writing skills because there was never feedback. She isn't a good professor. She is lazy.

Her grading isn't clear at all for journals or the final paper and she cares a lot about attendance and participation. Other than that, she's nice and the class is an easy A if you know how to write decent papers, but make sure you show up to class. It fulfills English Composition and Group A or B, so I'd say it's worth it.

I felt pushed to write a paper about a book that was just fun nothing meaningfull. As long as you go to her class and listen to what she says, you should be able to write your paper. She has a very closed view of the world, so follow her thread of mentality, and you will do good, Attendance does matter, AKA waste of time.

Easy A. Important to know what the readings are about before class because she'll either make you talk in groups or write questions on the board and answer them.

Professor Davis isn't aware that our lives don't revolve around her useless class. She's very, very petty when it comes to people not reading or going to her class. as if we aren't adults with lives. The readings were boring and she gives no writing critiques all semester you're at a disadvantage for the final.

This class was amazing! It was very discussion-based and the homework assignments were very easy to complete. The journal assignments were also easy to complete and she gives extensions on all journal assignments. She is a lenient grader, and all you have to do is show up to class and submit all work for an easy A+!

She is an amazing professor, she is funny and she loves the books she gets us to read. In the summer we only had 5 weeks of class, so it was quite the fast moving class. There is a LOT of reading. We started a new book every week, a journal every week, they were due the day we finished talking about the books. PARTICIPATE!! PARTICIPATE IN CLASS!

Dr. Davis is a rly great and engaging professor. While attendance was required, I enjoyed coming to class and participating in discussion. Lots of reading- 5 books, one discussion post and journal per book + final exam. Heavy but manageable, and prof is a lenient grader. Take her, she's great.

The class was easy, and the professor is okay, but there was too much reading. She talks a lot during class, which can get boring. Also, she doesn't allow electronics, so we had to buy a hard copy of the book, which made things harder and more expensive.

She is a fine professor overall. Her lectures are very a bit heavy, she talks a loooot and she doesn't allow any electronics in class. There are a lot of books to read, which can feel like a lot sometimes. However, the coursework is manageable all you have to do is journals of the books, a presentation, and a final exam.

She is okay, but sometimes she's mean—even with a smile on her face. The biggest thing is that if you're even 3 minutes late, she marks you late. Also, she doesn't allow any electronics in class, which is kind of crazy, especially since it's 2025. It makes things harder and less flexible for students.

She was such a sweetheart & really connected with the class so we felt seen as individuals. Accommodated deadlines for the response papers for the class & her passion for Morrison was infectious. Participation counts, loves to hear you share your thoughts, one 5-min presentation, 5 response papers (one for every book), & one final paper. Take her!
