Easily the worst class I have taken at my time at UCSB. The tests were unnecessarily hard and based on books that we were supposed to memorize. This class was absolutely not worth the time or effort and there was no support from the teacher. Do not take her classes.

I took her for 103LL. I failed the midterm which was the worst test ever written. Memorizing 34 page readings and having to spell the speakers name correctly out of the numerous, extensive readings is helpful how? I decided to take the class for no credit which made my life 100x better. Completely unnecessarily hard, not worth the headache.

Being graded on knowing authors based off a few giving lines from a poem or text is going to help me how?

This was an extremely difficult class for me. That said, her feedback on essays is top-tier. When you mess up, she explains exactly why, and by the end, you know precisely how to improve. Amazing and brilliant, but very intimidating. Make sure to have your TA's look at your writing before you turn it in!!
