She lectures really fast, but they're really detailed and helpful for the midterm and final, so go to class (attendance is usually mandatory anyway) and pay attention. She's a sweet lady, even though sometimes she can come off a little arrogant. Very concerned and open to discussion. She'll learn your name if you speak up enough, which helps you out during grading. She tends to favor people she knows. Only one midterm and final + an optional paper. She's not the easiest grader, so you do have to read and work for your grade, but it's not too difficult. I've taken her a few times and she's the best professor for Milton and Chaucer by far. She expects more discussion in Chaucer and 152B since they're smaller settings, so sometimes you can't slide by. She's prone to randomly questioning people in her 152 classes, so make sure you read. If you don't want to talk in class, take her for Milton.

Just finished taking 150C with him, which was on Shakespearian tragedy. He was an entertaining guy, and took extra effort to learn our names (there were about 25 of us), but it was a 2 hour lecture twice a week, and we spent a loooong time getting to the point. The class was discussion based, but we never seemed to get to the point until 10 mins left. We spent a lot of time just hearing what students thought and hardly any time looking at the plays themselves. When he did take over, point things out and write them on the board, I learned some interesting things, but that hardly ever happened, so I can't say I learned a lot in the long run. Overall I was disappointed in the class, because I was really hoping to learn a lot more than I did.
