I thought I was a good writer until Dr. Klass took me down a couple of notches. Very nice lady, but VERY hard grader. I had only ever gotten A's in English/Lit until I took her class (I got a C). Oh, and the material was soooooo boring!

Good teacher. Requires 6 responses to text, 3 formal papers throughout the semester. Readings from the text were usually interesting and directly relate to the formal papers you'll have to write. She also encourages you to contact her outside of class if we had any questions and is quick to respond. Tough grader and you must go to class.

My only qualm about this class is the length. Don't ever take her for an hour and 45 minute class. It is a KILLER. Otherwise, I really enjoyed her discussions (when everyone participated) and loved the writing assignments. I do, however, wish she would switch it up a little instead of doing the same thing in class over and over.

Excellent English prof. Six informal responses (to text), three formal papers. I'd say she's somewhat of a tough grader on the formal papers, but far from unfair. Readings from Norton Reader pretty much directly related to formal papers, but the topics are still broad enough to be creative with them. I'd go to her again if I needed more Eng creds.

So nice and so fine i would take her

Very nice teacher, gives lots of time to write essays. only 3 or 4 papers per semester. she is smart, easy going and fun! take her for ENC1101 or ENC1102!

Awsome teacher! I loved her! Essays were easy, gave lots of time to write them and review them

She is the most clear and articulate professor I've ever had. She allows 3 absenses without any penalty and has plenty of workshop days to help you on your paper. A little picky when grading papers,just let her help you if you're not a good writer. A little stuck up, I would agree and her beauty is sometimes distracting.I got an A.

She is an amazing teacher she is young and relates to her students She helps you with anything you need and is very polite She is not stuck up although she is pretty She is a little picky when it comes to grading papers but just ask for help Discuss readings from the book in class 3 informal & 3 formal writings Take her! Easy on tardy and absences.

I've taken Dr Klass for two classes, American Lit and Contemporary Lit. I didn't need the second lit class but loved her teaching style so much i took her again. She is extremely helpful and not at all stuck up. She is confident and a brilliant professor and i recommend her to anybody especially those that need help.

Grades Extremely Hard!!!! If its not her style then it seems your writing is wrong!! Took class over and got an A. She judges.

I took her Jewish American literature class at UF, the class and readings were interesting, but it was difficult to speak up in class because she's so freaking hot.

I took professor Klass for Enc1101 she was an awsome professor. Although she does grade pretty hard she is very helpful and does not mind answering any questions you may have. I would definitely recommend her to other students.

i took professor klass for enc1102. she really got you thinking about the readings. the class conversations got really interesting and even after you have left the classroom still has you thinking. she grades fairly and is very helpful in improving your writing. i recommend you take this class for anyone who is willing to use their brains. :o)

She's an amazing professor. She does grade hard, but fair. If you need help, she's more than willing to lend a hand. Her in-class discussions make you think in, and out of the classroom. She makes her class interesting, which is a good thing if you're easily distracted. Overall, GREAT professor. I'd recommend to anyone who takes school seriously.

Great Professor. You will learn from her. She does grade hard, but fair. Really nice lady, makes class fun and interesting.

She taught a class that was both challenging and rewarding. We wrote multiple essays, made fair use of out textbooks and greatly encouraged participation. Not bad on the eyes either - but don't let that be a reason to take her. She'll whip you into shape fast. All-in all, a standing example of what and English professor should be.

Amazing professor. Very tough grader, but makes you learn a lot. She opens your mind and makes writing very interesting. If you're looking for an easy A, this isn't the class, though.

She has 6 informal writings and 3 formal writing, thats about it. If your aiming to be what i would called an excellent writer i would prefer you take her. one thing i like about her is that she's willing to help you an any area your struggling with, very tough on grading though,her class is mainly debating on what you read so be prepared prior to

Dr. Traci is an absolute godsend to the world of teaching. She challenges you, but doesn't make the class too hard. She's very interested in what she does and wants all of her students to succeed. She's very smart and very funny and kind. Take her if you would like to have a fun class but would also like to challenge yourself just a bit.

Dr. Klass is a very intelligent individual. Very down to earth, youthful and entertaining. Very passionate about teaching and remembering the holocaust. Very easy to receive an A. Always available for help and assistance. She's also extremely cute; which is great if you're a guy and composition bores the hell out of you. Highly recommended!

Great professor! She is very knowledgeable and understanding towards her students. Make sure you write ALL your response papers and meet all the guidelines for your midterm and final! Take her you wont regret it!

My favorite teacher in the entire school made coming to class fun and entertaining every time.

Very hard grader!!!!! Impossible to get an A!!! Class is not boring and she relates to students!

Dr. Klass was a excellent teacher! A lot of the class time was discussion, where you learn a lot even from just listening. She knows what she is talking about and helps you so much with your writing skills. I learned so much, one of my favorite teachers!

Klass is a very hard but good teacher especially if you like a teacher where you have to work and earn your grade not just receive an it. She should teach in a university, not a community college. Klass will help you, all you have to do is set up an appt. I perosnally don't recommend Jewish Lit.

I took this teacher a few times she is amazing and passionate about what she does. She is very open minded and takes the time to listen to other people's perspective. Very helpful teacher and she makes sure to keep the class interesting. She's hot too even though the pregnancy made her a little wobble-y! SORRY! LOVE HER THOUGH!

One of the best professors ever! i think i learned more about writting in the two classes i took with her than in elementary - highschool. shes a very hard grader but it makes you learn and if you ask she will take the time out to sit and show you how to fix what you did wrong. i recommend her to everyone!

Took her Brit Lit class, she is a very good professor. If you do some of the reading and participate a bit in the class, easy A.

Great teacher, must enjoy reading and have time to read.

She talks A LOT!!!!! When leading class discussions, she WILL talk OVER you! Never lets students really get into discussions. A LOT OF READING! Although she is a great teacher. 3 essays, very interesting topics...I WOULD take her, if you want an easy A. Do ALL READINGS/JOURNALS!!! It is a MUST to pass!

Professor Klass is one of the best teachers I have had at PBSC to date. No doubt, she will make you work for your grade!! She does not grade papers easily, but she will help you perfect your skills by the end. Make SURE to come to class prepared to go over the reading and discuss. The students dialog is the majority of the class!

Brilliant and AMAZING

Amazing learning environment. Dr. Klass is so helpful and willing to work with you.

SHE IS PROBABLY THE BEST ENGLISH TEACHER EVER. EASY READINGS. JOURNALS ARE PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND SHE LEARNS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. HARD GRADER BUT SHE WONT FAIL YOU UNLESS YOU REALLY TRY TO. I RECOMMEND HER AND I WILL BE TAKING HER ON ENC1102.

Wonderful Professor, she is really funny and sweet. I would definitely recommend this class! If you are looking for an easy A, this is not your class. There are difficult readings that are hard to analyze, but she explains everything very well. There are pop quizzes, so make sure you read,and do all of the assignments.She is always there to help!

Dr. Klass is a pleasure to have. She explains concepts clearly and thoroughly. She also provides useful feedback for our discussion posts. Please note that SkillsClass modules are 50% of your grade. IN addition, there are readings to analyze and quizzes for them. Be prepared. RECOMMENDED for both ENC1101 and/or ENC1101L.

Prof Klass is a great teacher. She is super nice and she loves her students. She is always there to help her students but she is a tough grader. overall she is a great teacher and you have to take advantage of the help she gives you before a paper is due. i would deffinatley take her class again

This class was actually my favorite to go to! her lectures are really fun! she gives you 3 excused absences but, after those three you need to keep going. homework is really easy. lectures and homework and class discussions always pertain to the essay! harsh essay grader. but, is understanding! and cant stand plagiarism!

Other than the tough grading, which is not a big problem because the professor did help us step by step, she did experience a dramatic loss in during this semester which i think was the reason papers took forever to grade. On the other hand, Professor Klass is so knowledgeable and she truly cares. Class discussions were the best!

Professor Klass is very strict. Took this class online. Failure to login more than 2 times results in failure of the course. She does not grade assignments within a timely fashion although she responds to email quickly. Provides No extra credit. She's a tough grader. HARD to get an A. Gives No extra credit or time extensions. No text required.

Tracy is a wonderful professor. She is very clear and you really have to be consistent to get the grade you deserve. I know writing isn't everyone's forte but you will definitely need everything that she teaches in the future. I recommend going to the tutoring center and DO NOT write your paper last minute. She LOVES reading so she will read yours.

I took Contemp Lit. online, there's quizzes for each story and they're so easy, it's generic knowledge about each respective story. No trick questions. Then there's easy discussions, it can be lengthy at times but if you want a good grade you need to be able to add substance. The only real work are the 3 assignments. I have a high A.

Took this course in place of intro to lit. Was not expecting the level of reading that was involved. Thought literature was literature, boy was I wrong. The amount of reading was a bit much for quizzes that were 5 questions. Discussions are a must and in depth responses are necessary.

Dr Klass is an extremely tough grader. My first class in college was taken with her, (English Composition) and I had to legitimately try to get a decent grade in the class. Although it's hard work, it's beneficial because you actually learn how to write proper argumentative papers. Definitely not an easy class, but she's a great professor.

Awesome professor! Can't imagine how anyone could say anything bad about her. Down to earth, well scripted, and very intelligent. Will definitely influence you to think critically and be more open minded as a person.

Wow this class really .. challenged my writing skills, critical thinking, and patience.. Be prepared to Read A lot and participate in class.. Miss klass is a great teacher but a hard grader... Everything you think u know about "writing" leave it at the front door once you enter this class.. Miss klass is very detailed and expects u to be clear

Took her this summer as an express class and got an A, pretty much just read the stories she assigns and do the work and you'll pass. She gives great feedback and I literally didn't get any grade lower than a 90.

Professor Carey, I took her online for lit2090. she was ok, but very hard on grading. No extra credit offered. the quizzes were 5 questions, but the articles were way too long to read for 5 questions only.

I took a class with Dr. Klass a few years ago. She really shaped my college career. She helped me learn how to think critically. Dr. Klass inspired me to earn my BA in English literature. She is tough but you will learn.

Professor Klass does an amazing job setting up the course on BB. Super organized. Lowest quiz grade is dropped. Be prepared to record yourself three times though. Final major assignment was super easy

Hey Professor K was phenomenal she was patient and always open and to help during her flexible office hours I struggled greatly and it was my second attempt taking the class and I passed with a C+ and I was grateful enough for that

For an online class, the syllabus and the information provided on blackboard was more than enough. The syllabus is key so use it. It is a very self driven class and there is a lot of reading and writing involved but if you plan ahead it is possible to get it all done stress free. She stays in contact and grades are posted as soon asap. She's great

Professor Klass gave great feedback on my journal entries and assignments. It became obvious where I went wrong. I finished with a near A and tbh didn't put in as much as I could've. But she's very helpful and lenient if you submit an assignment a few minutes late.

This class has lots of assignments, due every 2 or 3 days. You have to do the reading to complete any of the assignments, but they are fairly simple if you do the reading. Only negative-2/3 of your writing assignments are responses to other students posting, but if they wait until the day of the assignment being due you will struggle

Okay, here's the thing. She's a tough grader, strict and super passionate about women's literature. While it's not an easy A, it's one of those classes you learn to appreciate towards the end of semester. Shapes you into a better writer for sure. She assigns discussion posts twice a week + two exams (midterm and final). Read her feedback! It helps

READ HER FEEDBACK & YOU WILL PASS WITH AN A! If you follow the rubrics perfectly, you'll most likely get a 100 percent on all of your discussions, because that's mostly what your grade relies on. There is A LOT to read! Two different authors a week, ranging from 10-30 pages a week. Yet it's not the easiest material to read. Read her syllabus!

Well this was the most difficult class I have ever taken. The amount of reading required was well beyond what I could have expected. However, I learned so much about women's literature and grew in my capacity to write and follow deadlines. Dr. Klass isn't a harsh grader per se yet the sheer amount of work required would make anyone uneasy.

Professor Klass has a strenuous schedule to follow but if you are really interested in learning literature, she's the one to take. I've read many negative things about her course but I'm very glad that I took it and that she was the professor. You can work ahead to a degree, and she grades and answers emails quickly. My writing has improved also.
