Nowhere to submit assignments on Canvas, so don't forget to email them to her at a random, unclear due date.
Graded by final paper, final, and midterm. So much reading + the no lectures slides + only verbal lecture + thick accent + no canvas posts is a deadly combo if you're not very English-minded. I suggest you go to the lecture even though it isn't mandatory because most of the information/terms/prompts on the exams will come from there.
:/
Lectures are ok but what makes her class so infuriating is that there is zero online correspondence. The responses everyone does are on different days and she only tells you your assigned days once at the beginning of the quarter. Idk why she doesn't use Canvas for an online class but it makes the class much less enjoyable.
Boscagli was very accessible in uploading her lectures online which was nice. She would sometimes emphasize a word that she would repeat and say would be a huge part of the test, but then not spell it out or have it written anywhere for us to read which was frustrating. Tests were all written. Essays are also required.
Personally, I loved this professor. Although the work is sort of difficult and there is a good amount of reading, I really loved taking two of her classes because she cares about what she is teaching and she is open to hearing all interpretations of readings-not like some other English professors who are looking for certain "right" interpretations.
