Professor More is very interested on the subjects she teaches and that permeates into her lectures. She is very concerned about student learning. She will be fair in her exams, no surprises. She will not focus on draining your energies with unnecessary work, instead she will focus on some very basic concepts and some details that help in learning the central ideas and help understand the readings. Just do the reading assignments and participate in class. In Portuguese 130B, the most important part was participation, a presentation and a final consisting of a research paper in portuguese; which means attendance is important. If you have problems, approach her and she will make time for you. Although there are various degrees of fluency in the class, she did a wonderful job at making sure everyone participated to the best of their knowledge without hammering the students on some of their linguistic short-comings. Her point is that everyone can learn about the subject no matter what their proficiency of the language may be. If class seems a little boring and tedious to some, its because students need to be prepared to participate. After all this is a literature class!
