I've been in college for 5 years and Hanna is my favorite! Be prepared to be swamped in homework, read several novels and pieces of literature, and quizzes on what you read. Essays every other week are mandatory. Tough grader but it's all worth it when you sit and listen to her lectures. This is a class you will not fall asleep in! Highly Recommend

Your effort reflects your grade. This is a great class for actually improving your writing. Many drafts before the final draft, so you can get feedback prior to getting a grade. Only thing I disliked was the peer reviews. A peer is automatically assigned to you; don't expect them to be helpful. Allows you to make up 4 assignments total.

I'm surprised at the average rating. I think this reflects on the students more than on the teacher. Her class was hard because she requires lots of writing homework, and students that don't like that then rate her low because of it, ignoring that she is a great teacher and they probably learned more that in an easier class.

She uses AI detection for her grading anything flagged you get a Zero. Work is repetitive it's all on the basic structure of an essay. You will be writing a lot along with the assigned readings.
