was hesitant taking this professor based on the reviews, but one of the best classes Ive ever taken. She assigns books with interesting topics, and all the writing assignments were personal reflections, she truly wanted to get to know her students. All group discussions on books, so instead of her just telling you what its about you find it yoursel

Excellent teacher that forces you to deal with topics that make people generally uncomfortable. Her readings work perfectly well with the lectures & themes in the course. Lots of reading & some writing. I highly recommend this course & professor to anybody. She is a must visit in office hours.

100+ pages of reading each week, insane. Pop quizzes on those readings in short answer format, so if you didn't read good luck! Her lectures were very dense and she spoke in a monotone voice, always very serious which made lectures boring. 2 papers (midterm and final) 600 words. Somewhat easy if you did the readings. Take advantage of extra credit!

100+ pages of reading each week. Pop quizzes on readings, short answer questions so if you did not read good luck! Attendance was taken using the iclicker app. Her lectures were very dense and somewhat repetitive. She spoke in a sort of monotone voice and was very serious and formal. 2 papers that were 600 words, manageable if you did the readings.

This is by far one of the worst courses I have taken. She drowns you in at least 100 pages of reading a week with pop quizzes on the material without taking into consideration that you just may have other classes. Her lectures are extremely boring and for exams, she asks like 6 questions in one prompt, giving you 600 words to answer it. Stay away!

I have to say that this course is a piece of sxxx. Professor Clitandre herself is a very passionate and knowledgeable person, BUT the course tastes worse than my cat's poop. At least 100 pages reading per week, and the three exams are really hard to write. DO NOT take this mandatory course with her unless you are a literature professor yourself...
