ENGL176 . Batiste S L 10 Months Ago

complete joke of a professor. no clear grading rubric so she grades basked in how she feels about you. does not provide proper feedback and fails you if she disagrees with your point. has an inflated ego and says she is an academic as a means to justify her lack of clarity.

ENGL176 . Batiste S L 10 Months Ago

Unclear grading criteria, disorganized class structure, felt uncomfortably pretentious at times. Passionate professor and fun class, but with the amount of reading, very specific timed pop quizzes, script writing, 4 in-class acting performances, random assignments, papers, etc. SO not worth it. Easy grader, but it's not worth the trouble.

ENGL176 . Batiste S L 11 Months Ago

Completely disorganized. Forgets her own syllabus and is never consistent with what she says, gets upset when students ask questions for clarification. Assigns heavy loads of work forgetting that students have other classes and responsibilities. Lectures are just random rambling and barely gives time for group work in class.

Absolutely do not waste your time!! Material you read is great but assigned insane amount of books to read and expects you to know every page by heart and grades you based off of your ability to memorize each sentence?? Does not prepare slides, gets sidetracked, rude, exams are atrociously written. Got A's on essays but everyone failed exams!!

She is a very good professor who is passionate about what she teaches. This can make her lectures very interesting. They can also be interactive and she gives extra credit. Although the downside is because she is so passionate the workload is very heavy. The level of analysis she expected for the midterm was very high which made it difficult.

TLDR: Attend every lecture, read everything assigned at least ten times so you can quote the material like the back of your hand, and write flawlessly. Otherwise, don't bother taking this class. You will fail the midterm and the final.
