CollegeHer lectures are moderately clear, though she can be boring at times. What she focuses on does appear on the final though. She assigns 2 papers. Her final consists of ID's, short answers, and short essays. She seems willing to help.
Wonderful and comprehensive. She's not a high energy lecturer, but her enthusiasm still shines though.
2 papers and 1 final that consists of IDs and short essays. There's too much reading assigned so I suggest that you just read the works needed for the papers and pay close attention in lecture. It'll help you get ready for the papers and final as well as section each week. Make sure you go to class and section.
Saltzman-Li is a great teacher who is passionate, eloquent, and really wants the students to learn. Very helpful, and understanding (office hours!). This class was a reading and writing class, focusing more on genres. 2 Papers, 1 Final. Coming to class is not required, but it's really important, because material on Final is lecture material.
Lectures were unorganized and extremely difficult to follow.
sweet teacher and passionate about eacs !! however, for a ge, there was a quiz every lecture and a 10 page paper due right before the final. midterm and final were graded pretty harshly and you needed to remember basically everything and everyone you learned about.
