Have taken several classes by her. Super nice and patient and always accessible any time you have questions. Clear instruction and organization. For upper-division classes, there is a short paper 3-5 pages due every week, but you only need to do 3 or 4 of them, and any extra would add to your total grade. Exams need good notes and reading.

Lectures are interesting, though I would bring some coffee to stay alert. There are six opportunity to write three required papers. And the other three can be taken as extra credit. If you meet her during office hours she will work with you! Great professor.

The lectures are fascinating. She can be a bit dull at times but tries her best to make the class interesting. There are 6 essays (3 required, 3 extra credit). She provides a lot of opportunities for extra credit and she's a really nice professor. It's a lot of reading but you can get by if you don't read everything.

Good professor overall. This class is on her specialty so she's passionate about it and lectures are pretty interesting and informative. Go to lectures for the big picture and context, do readings for use in papers and some exam questions are on the readings.
