I, too, was dreading mid-evil English; but Paddy's approach allowed me to appreciate it, and actually enjoy much of the reading. Her exams can be a challenge, even when you've done all of the reading. But a challenge can be a good thing.
Before I began this class, I DESPISED the course material, but am now fascinated. This prof is extraordinarily knowledgeable in her chosen field, and her enthusiasm is infectious. Still not my primary time period of interest, but the class was a pleasant surprise. Grading: tough. I'm a good student, and I worked my @ss of for a b+
Professor Fumerton was a great professor. She turned a subject that I wasn't very interested in into a class that I never wanted to miss. The assigned reading is interesting, and Professor Fumerton has fun pointing out things that are dirty or controversial. I would love to take more classes with her.
When I went it wasnt too bad but that wasn't often. She is a good prof its just a semi boring course. Shakespeare...been there done that!
I couldn't stay awake in this class.
great pace, the work, reports and presentations all flowed nicely. her knowledge is incredible and her ability to present the material in an entertaining way is fantastic. Also, the way she ended class on the last day was with a slide of her full body x-ray was powerful and a great reminder of the precious time we have.
