Avoid Prof. Spoor, Here's why; she's nothing more than a chaperone who grades. Gave full credit to students who missed deadlines. Was harsh with students who had views on books other than her own. "I dont know" became a frequent answer to student questions.Asked for honest opinions then refused to listen to student feedback. PRAY for a decent group

Her *&& is so uptight she squeaks when she walks. It's a babysitting class mainly (as the last person noted). And be a feminist when you walk through the door; only liberal opinions are tolerated. If she is what English profs are like I'll switch from English when I transfer.

Professor Spoor was one of my favorite teachers. While the class is very paper-heavy and has a big group project, she is a great help if you communicate with her. Honestly, I probably would have gotten an A if I realized sooner how much she was willing to work with me if I just asked.

Teacher was super nice and cared about students, definitely wanted the best for them. I can tell how passionate she is about what she does and gives good feedback and is open-minded. The essays were pretty open-ended and we didn't get a rubric. Great if you like flexibility, not great if you like having a concrete list on expectations.

Professor asked for students ideas in every class, very participatory. Cared a lot about the students and was passionate about the material. Not too hard to get a good grade, just had to pay attention and read most of the time.

Professor Spoor is a very caring and compassionate teacher. She not only cares that you are learning, but also that you are comfortable doing it. She integrates artistic expression into everything, so be prepared to explore your creative side, be it through drawing or creating yourself or through interpretation of others' works.

Professor Spoor is very nice, very understanding and supportive, she cares about you as a human and as a student, communication with her is key. There is a big group assignment, but she will provide homework and projects that will be built up to the final project. Stay on top of due dates.

I absolutely loved professor Spoor's images of women's class. Hands down, it is my favorite class this semester, and If I were able to id take so many more of her classes. She clearly communicates her expectations, is very accessible outside of class time, and is very understanding of personal matters. I cannot recommend her enough.

She put us into groups on the first class for a semester long group project and we were not given clear instruction. We had creative journals due every class that involved drawing. She gave very unclear feedback on each essay and when I would correct what she told me to for the next essay I would get the same grade because she found more things.

You only write 3 essays over the entirety of the semester but there are 3 assignments due every class. It's super important to stay on top of your work but if something were to come up Professor Spoor is super sweet and understanding and will work with you to figure everything out. She is also a fair grader.

Very very hard to succeed in this class. Textbook is thick and lengthy, and all the quizzes are focused on small details from the textbook that are seemingly unimportant. Lots of projects and participation matters.

Outstanding. Includes every student during classroom discussions and makes them aware that their contributions are valued. Knows the text like the back of her hand and is more than willing to help you if you need it. One of the best professors teaching at AACC.

The class has more of a seminar format, but it works extremely well for the material covered. Rarely any lectures, instead focused on readings outside of the class. Professor Spoor was very easy to approach about any issues or questions. Overall, I really enjoyed the class and loved Professor Spoor's teaching style!

Professor Spoor is awesome. There are readings due before most classes, but most of them are fairly short and reasonable to complete in the time given. There are a few group projects, individual projects, and essays, and three exams that are moderately easy if you complete the readings and go to class.

Prof. Spoor is very sweet and a caring person. She is easy to reach outside of class and gives great feedback that allows you to improve. She tends to care more about personal experiences and how they shape identity, rather academic research and writing. Overall, her curriculum is interesting and engaging, but also not something you can slack off.
