ENGL115 . Blurton H F 11 Months Ago

Professor Blurton had interesting lectures, and I enjoyed hearing what she had to say, but it seems like she really did not understand the subtext of a lot of books. Reading the books myself did not match at all with what she said. The final exam also requires so much studying- make sure you actually read the texts or it'd be near impossible.

ENGL110A . Blurton H F 1 Year, 11 Months Ago

Make sure to attend class, as she doesn't post what the class covered online. Blurton is super nice and her class is relatively straightforward, but the content is pretty boring and it was difficult to pay attention sometimes. Note down/remember a few main points for each topic/text covered and you should be fine.

ENGL101 . Blurton H F 2 Years Ago

Bad class. Lectures basically worthless, you're on your own in understanding the texts. Worst English class I've taken. Knew it wasn't going to be good cuz it's medieval stuff but I was not ready for how poorly run it would truly be.

ENG101 . Blurton H F 4 Years Ago

At first I didn't mind this class and her teaching methods. I really appreciated how much she knew about medieval literature. But after a while it became clear that she was a professor who only cared about lectures and wasn't involved in any other part of the class. My TA, who was super helpful, was my main source of information for the class.

ENGLISH101 . Blurton H F 5 Years Ago

I never like to make review's on professors, but because of these tough times we are facing due to the pandemic, I saw a disgusting side of Professor Blurton. Her grading was extremely harsh, and her feedback was awful. You really see individual's true colors during challenging times. She does not have empathy or sensitivity. I do not recommend.

ENG101 . Blurton H F 5 Years Ago

I really enjoyed having her for medieval literature because I did not think I'd enjoy this class. She is funny, engaging, and brilliant, which was motivating for this class since it was later in the day. Readings may be hard at first, but you get used to them as she gives you plenty of time to read. My TA was also really helpful. Would take again.
