Bright side was that participating is extra credit. She gives a lot of feedback -- if you have an aversion to bright red marks on your paper, I'd avoid this class. It's constructive for the most part, but at times seems very overwhelming. The reading is fun, but grading is hard. Take it pass/no pass if you must. Nice but a bit distant.
Very difficult grader on essays but also very helpful to make you a better writer. I would not recommend taking it for a grade but she does do her best to improve your writing. Even helped correct another one of my essays showing she cares about her students. Enjoyed the small class setting but the essays grades were pretty tough.
