Professor Wicke from day one always made sure we felt heard and listened to. Her lectures were interesting to listen to, and while she may go on long-winded ones at times, she always keeps your attention. During COVID, she and the TAs were extremely flexible and understanding. I would totally take another class with her!
Prof Wicke is just a lovely person! She is funny in lectures and super understanding of how stressful covid has been. I have really enjoyed this class and would highly recommend her as a professor. She really cares about her students and wants everyone to get an A. She's super accommodating and clearly passionate about literature. 11/10
Professor Wicke is one of the nicest, most genuine and most caring teachers I've ever had. Even with all the stress and pain caused by COVID and online classes, she was extremely flexible and always was revising the syllabus to better cater to the class. She really does care for our well being first, but her teaching is interesting as well!
Take any class with her. Reasonable for a GE which made it easier to learn and put in effort
Take any class with her. She is the best. So kind and caring, available to help all students. Lectures are a little boring but overall her expectations are very clear and easily achievable. Love her!!
I took this class during the Spring 2020 quarantine so idk how much of this applies during a traditional quarter, but Professor Wicke is absolutely lovely & her reading selections were fantastic. I gathered that this was because of the odd quarter, but I found her lectures to be somewhat rambling & disorganized. Overall, a great professor & class.
The actual Goat. TAKE HER
One of the best professors I've had. Very passionate about the class and also cares so much about her students. Amazing.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER, UNDERSTANDING, INTELLIGENT, OVERALL THE BEST TAKE HER CLASS
Wicke is one of the most adorable women Ive ever encountered. The lectures werent very structured since her teaching style is very laid back and conversational which is ideal for some people but can get boring for others. You can tell she really cares about what she talks about and the meaning behind what she teaches. Tests are straightforward
Very easy A. I didn't read a single book and skipped lecture often. Only thing I did was pay attention during section and ended up getting an A+ in the class. I advise you take very good section notes and go to the extra credit quizzes! That's all you really need!
Pros: Wicke is a super caring professor who just wants you to enjoy the novels and the course content, and there is a ton of extra credit-easy A. Cons: Little time to read the novels while maintaining other classes and it was hard to stay attentive in lectures as Wicke is a slow talker and gives little visual aids.
