Attendance is mandatory in sections, not in lectures. It's A lot of reading, and someone who has English as a second language may not be able to get an A.

This was my favorite class this quarter! Her lectures were interesting because they made me think about ideas in ways I would not have thought of. The grade distribution between participation, papers, and exams was even, so you will succeed if you go to lecture and section, take good notes, ask questions, and carefully follow all instructions.

Rachel is super passionate about children's literature. BUT I don't recommend if you're taking for a GE because I ended up doing more work/reading than I anticipated (Not just kid's books, some heavy theory readings). Graded on 2 papers, a written in-class midterm and final, and section attendance/participation. Have to attend lecture to do well :/

Not a very good lecturer, she loves the way she talks and uses too complicated language. Doesn't make it easy to learn the content and not very inspiring as a professor. Was excited for this class but now is my least favorite I'm taking.

She makes everything overly complicated and talks like she wants to show everyone how many words she knows. Her lectures are confusing and make no sense and the assignments are really long papers with no emphasis on her lecture content. Not a great teacher, needs to get over herself.

Professor Feldman's lecture are really inspirational with clarity. I would recommend all students with an interest in children literature to take her course. She is willing to help her students, so don't hesitate to seek help.

Rachel is a real nice one. She is an expert in Children's Literature. The class is organized well, and the exploration is very fun. Papers are graded fairly. A nice GE class with G and WRT

I had her as my TA for C LIT 30 A and I swear shes the GOAT. she honestly puts so much work for the class and it shows when she discusses the lectures with us. We didnt do any breakout rooms with her, and it was a generally chill zoom meeting. They were optional to attend, but I definitely recommend attending.

Rachel is so caring and passionate. She gives great feedback on assignments and really bolstered my confidence as a writer. She expects a lot but is very understanding and helpful. I won't be taking anymore writing classes so I'm sad to not have her again! Amazing instructor and person.

Rachel was my TA for 30B and despite the lecture being confusing she was able to help us focus on what we needed to know in order to do well on the tests. I learned way more in section than I did in lecture. She also really cares about her students and let me rewrite my paper for a better grade. I would definitely take her again.

She is my TA and unbeliveably unhelpful. Every time I ask her about lecture she doesnt have a clue what she is talking about and blames the prof for being confusing. Maybe if she actually came to class sometimes she would be able to help the rest of us understand what is going on. Not fair.

Glad she finally got a ratemyprofessor page so that I could comment. Great TA, can be pushy when it comes to getting people to participate in discussion. She makes sure you know what you need to pass. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.
