She gives out pop quizzes, but is an easy grader for both quizzes and essays. Great at generating discussion about the readings, but is overall mediocre. The material we covered was really interesting though, so I didn't mind her somewhat boring lectures. She passes around a sign-in sheet on random days, so be sure to attend or make a friend.

She's super caring and understanding. Interesting lectures because she is passionate about what she teaches. Put an effort in learning names. :)

Lectures were mainly just about the assigned readings, so as long as you read, youll be okay. There are many pop quizzes on the readings, and most of them were pretty easy. Her lectures were boring though and I got distracted by her saying uhh very frequently. Its an okay class. She requires a lot of participation in class.

this class was really hard. I felt there were not enough opportunities to get help except for emails (sometimes ignored questions in the email) compared to other classes I would say this one ranked pretty low because the things discussed in class vs what you are supposed to study are completely different a lot of the time...

Literally the worst class I ever took. The lectures were boring, unengaging, and kind of annoying because she says uhhhh at the her own confusing thoughts. I tried so hard to listen to her and understand but she just did not make any sense b/c her accent was so off and she kept saying uhh. She's sweet but not a good instructor.

This was a really BORING class unless you enjoy reading ancient texts. Lecture is sort of mandatory… she would randomly pass out slips of paper to check attendance but no clicker. One midterm , two 900word papers and a final. Papers weren't too bad but my TA didn't give out A's easily. Counts for a lot of GE requirements

I expected this course to delve into comp lit, and not the historical facts that Brown usually lectured about. She's a very sweet lady but it's easy to not pay attention. Midterm/final is easy, but overall not the best professor for a lit class.

Brown is great. She takes attendance at random lectures, so it's best to go to all of them. The tests are easy if you've been reading and paying attention in lecture. The TAs are great, and they really helped me understand a lot of the material. This class was very straightforward, and she stuck to the syllabus. I would recommend this class :)

Such a sweet lady. Lectures are very clear and tests are very straightforward if you attend class.Takes attendance at lectures randomly. Learned a lot for a GE class. Great sense of humor, and very intelligent! Would love to have her again!

Disregard all you've seen - Prof. Brown is amazing! The material is so interesting and she gives cultural/background information so we understand the period and makes it relatable to us. She likes people to attend and speak up in class, and she is very approachable. Minimal writing, just two papers and a midterm/final. I would so take her again!

This class was extremely boring and taught me close to nothing about the French language. Her corrections on the essays were inconsistent and often unclear. We were required to read deep into the meaning of the poems and stories far beyond what was discussed in class. If you want to sit in a class and listen to her say "uhhhhhhh" then go ahead.

Guides class well, discusses assigned materials, encouraging, easy to approach, expects you to work.
