There are a lot of readings each week. However, as long as you read them all, it's not hard to get an A. Besides, Prof. Andrea is very caring. Whenever you ask her a question, she will answer it very carefully.
Professor Andrea is very kind and understanding. she will honestly try her best to help you pass the class as she canceled class lecture 1 time so she extended the rest of the quizzes.
I'm really glad I took CLIT30B. It may seem overwhelming at first, but if you do the lectures and readings you will be fine. I ended up spending around 4-5 hours each week and found the final pretty easy. The quizzes are unlimited attempts, and the essays are open-ended so you're free to write about what you please (given certain sources).
I loved CLIT 30B, and this is coming from someone who usually does not like to read and analyze. She has so much knowledge on not only the literature itself but the historical context, and is very put together. Papers are straight forward and if you put time in and follow directions you will get a good grade. I also recommend the honors section!
She is not nice. Attend her lectures or you will not get good grade. Does not listen to students or understanding at all.
Professor Andrea is extremely organized and this has been one of my favorite classes so far. The workload is the same every week and the midterms are just two essays. If you are not comfortable with writing don't take this class, other than that it's extremely interesting and extremely manageable. Forum post every week and weekly reading quizzes
