I loved this class so much. You'll read a lot but it's good quality material that's engaging. Classes are spent discussing materials amongst students & her while she goes more in-depth about the authors, history, & other aspects from the era of focus. Participation is important but if you're shy like me, just go to office hours it'll help.
Do not take her class. If you want to complete GE requirements, go choose other professors. Worst professor ever met in university. She should learn how to make outlines as well as NOT promote her vague boring book.
Nothing posts online except reading materials. No lecture outline, no midterm review, no clear requirements and deadlines for assignment. You are required to recall any sentence from reading materials, which are about 100 pages per week. Final is not cumulative. Do not take her course unless you have no choice.
Disorganized as the 10lb purse she carries. Doesnt want you to meet during office hrs. Has fluid syllabus & grades subjectively. Keep your work, she will lose it. She sings high praise & then smacks you upside the head w/ a C. She is academic but has NO classroom management. Outside events mandatory. 10-15 hrs/wk of reading, ind/grp projects.
