ENGL103B . 20 Years Ago

Amazing lectuer, funny, passionate. Rarley over 2 hours of reading a week (and the type of class where you don't have to do all the reading).

I hate the class. So REPETATIVE! I always just want to get out of there. How clear can a point be? It's like pounding someone over the head.

She can get slightly boring at times but mostly it's an interesting class, and she's a great lecturer

ENG170TL . 1 Year, 16 Days Ago

Very disappointing. Her lectures are mostly making sure you read rather than presenting new ideas. She struggles to hold open conversations around race relations while teaching emotionally heavy stories of color. Not the strongest teacher for the non-white student. Still, some good mental-health related topics covered. Too many papers/projects.

Organization/grading is kind of confusing. Papers were graded a bit harshly, but she gives detailed feedback and you have the opportunity to revise. Participation/group presentations were easy. If you understand the general ideas of the authors/texts, you should be good for the final and the class.

Amazing professor, really cares about her students, and the format of the class was engaging. Do all the readings, they're interesting and help you participate in class discussions. I'm a stem major and writing is not my forte, but she gave great feedback that helped me improve on my papers and do well in the class.

Professor Carlson is AMAZING! Extremely intelligent and a great speaker. She's a little out there, but in a good way. If you're not into literature, don't take the class; but if it's something that interests you, you will LOVE her. She gives great feedback on papers and cares about you being a good student.

I feel so bad for this prof. I really want to like her, I think she's a funny person, but her classes are SO BORING. I always go in thinking it won't be that bad, I like the Romantics, but then IT'S THAT BAD. serious snooze fest. and she emphasises participation but then asks the weirdest questions in the most roundabout so you can't answer them.

ENG197 . 15 Years Ago

She is very passionate about what she teaches but many times she does not make sense in her comments about the reading. She goes in to other tangents. She will make yuo redo your paper if its not "good" enough. She expects a lot form her students.

I liked her, but I found her kind of boring at times. She reiterates everything MULTIPLE TIMES. Her tests are straightforward, though.
