A great professor for first year students. Class consisted of weekly knowledge checks which were a piece of cake. She also gave out pretty handy study guides: we had a mid-term and a final at the end of the semester. Be sure to READ the attached readings, on top of the lecture.

Wonderful personality, but not very entertaining. Not boring, but each class tends to be somber. 302 and 361 were both solid choices with her, but personally I enjoyed 302 much more and so did the rest of the class. You will write papers, take weekly quizzes that are fairly easy, but the readings are very lengthy. About 30 pages on average.

Her lectures are kinda hard to get through because the class felt so long, but she tries her best to keep everyone engaged. The material isnt that bad, and she included screenings to watch as well. Quizzes, midterm and final exam, two writing assignments-- standard and easy structure to follow.

Prof. Thompson is okay. Her lectures aren't really entertaining. Some of the material is confusing. Weekly readings are pretty lengthy. We got to watch episodes/clips from The Sopranos, I Love Lucy, Modern Family, etc. so that's a plus. Weekly quizzes based off the reading, but pretty easy. Midterm, final, 2 writing assignments (not complicated).

Heather's class was a real joy to be a part of. Her knowledge is vast and she is one of the best Critical Studies professor I've taken. Weekly readings can get lengthy, but she made it bearable with great lectures. Very transparent with students on grades, and a very positive presence.

Heather was one of my favorite professors this semester. Her lectures were very much aboout open discussion and debate, which I very much enjoyed. She has a very strong and clear understanding of the topics and was a huge help in breaking down complex ideas. Her personality is very welcoming and friendly. One of the best Critical Studies professors
