CLITANDRE N T
100+ pages of reading each week, insane. Pop quizzes on those readings in short answer format, so if you didn't read good luck! Her lectures were very dense and she spoke in a monotone voice, always very serious which made lectures boring. 2 papers (midterm and final) 600 words. Somewhat easy if you did the readings. Take advantage of extra credit!
100+ pages of reading each week. Pop quizzes on readings, short answer questions so if you did not read good luck! Attendance was taken using the iclicker app. Her lectures were very dense and somewhat repetitive. She spoke in a sort of monotone voice and was very serious and formal. 2 papers that were 600 words, manageable if you did the readings.
This is by far one of the worst courses I have taken. She drowns you in at least 100 pages of reading a week with pop quizzes on the material without taking into consideration that you just may have other classes. Her lectures are extremely boring and for exams, she asks like 6 questions in one prompt, giving you 600 words to answer it. Stay away!
I have to say that this course is a piece of sxxx. Professor Clitandre herself is a very passionate and knowledgeable person, BUT the course tastes worse than my cat's poop. At least 100 pages reading per week, and the three exams are really hard to write. DO NOT take this mandatory course with her unless you are a literature professor yourself...
She did an amazing job at putting me to sleep. Wish she could talk at 2x speed. Wish she could talk like a normal human being and not like a robot. Wish there weren't pop quizzes once a week on readings I didn't do. I wish a lot of things. But more than anything, I wish I didn't take her class. Oh well, can't win 'em all.
She gives out impossible assignments, grades harshly, and blames students when they give feedback. Unfortunately I have taken 2 of her classes and they were both the same.
was hesitant taking this professor based on the reviews, but one of the best classes Ive ever taken. She assigns books with interesting topics, and all the writing assignments were personal reflections, she truly wanted to get to know her students. All group discussions on books, so instead of her just telling you what its about you find it yoursel
Clitandre is a great lecturer and is very passionate about Global Studies. There are weekly quizes on reading but the readings are super interesting. 2 midterms and final are 600 word write-ups that are very clear. People wrote negative comments on here and going into the class I had low expectations, but she definitely surpassed them!!! recommend
No recommend.
She is a very smart and passionate professor. The other people that rated her for this quarter could have been a little more understanding seeing as our only TA quit 3 weeks into the quarter and had half of the quizzes. This class was messy but only because of the TA and the shorter quarter. Take this class only if you can handle abstract material.
She gave weekly quizzes on the published academic articles (which she does not go over until after the quiz), and did not return the graded quizzes or midterm until week 9. Upon the whole entire class failing the quizzes (we discussed in class), she blamed the students solely. Her questions are vague yet she expects specific answers.
Do yourself a favor and do not take this professor ! Very unorganized teacher! Gives insane amounts of homework, pop quizzes weekly, very hard exams and does not return the assignments back in time. you will not know how you are doing in the class, until right before the final. Unacceptable ! The entire class was complaining about her!
