Fall 2019 - She was an amazing professor and the works she assigned were informative and thought-provoking. The class discussions were great. She would pass around papers, literary documents, excerpts from historical documents, and other outside resources to help us understand the readings and certain themes that may go unnoticed. My only issue was that she tends to cut you off while you're talking which is kind of nerve-wracking when you're trying to get your point across. Also, if you do take her then go to her office hours.
