Professor Rowe really loves what she teaches. The class can be somewhat redundant and boring with so many female writers that all have a similar voice. I attended lectures 3/4 of the time and sat on my laptop surfing the web. She is pretty boring but it is not a hard class to do well in. Reading a poem is really easy and her midterm and final were very fair. They were extremely long however which sucked but not that hard to do well on if you read. There was also one paper that was 40% of your grade. I did the creative writing option and got an A-. I didn't read any of the 3 books and I got an A- in the class. At the end of the class I felt like I learned a lot and ultimately I'm glad I took it. I don't know how I would have done in this class if I wasn't an english major though...

**DO NOT TAKE ANY OF PROFESSOR SANCHEZ'S CLASSES!** honestly, if you think you think you can suck it up and try to get through his class, you're just hurting yourself, your gpa, and wasting your time. by far the worst professor i have EVER had, and this includes my experience in community college as well. i'm the kind of person who likes structure in a classroom, likes when the professor keeps his/her lectures interesting most or at least half of the time, and likes it when the teacher gets the students engaged in the work and is also willing to help those who need it.Unfortunately, this is not Sanchez. He has no structure to his classes, his books are expensive, rare, and usually boring and difficult to read. If you ask for help on a paper he'll give you obscure advice and when i asked him to give an example of what he wanted for the final research paper he showed us one of his graduate papers...i asked for a student example and he said "no i dont have one"...he's completely unhelpful on his own assignments!!! sure he gives no final, he also gives no help, no learning experience, makes no sense,and you'll have no interest in his class. you'll be fighting to get out of your seat once class starts because each class starts with a 10 arbitrarily-questioned quiz (he usually doesnt even remember the questions he asks, how do i know my quiz is going to be graded correctly!?) and then he moves on to discussing the readings which goes by soooo slow because usually nobody likes the books we're reading so good luck trying to get people to talk about them.
