Most Helpful Review
Summer 2024 - The professor was difficult to reach, often taking up to a week to respond to emails. She is extremely particular about writing standards, and assignments must align precisely with her expectations. If an assignment didn’t meet her criteria, she would give a zero, without offering partial credit. On the positive side, out of the six weeks of the course, only two discussions were mandatory, and the major assignments included a midterm paper and a final exam, which consisted of multiple-choice questions, key terms, and a short essay. She did offer a few extra credit opportunities, such as visiting the writing lab, revising the midterm paper, and submitting an additional discussion, but these only counted if full credit was achieved. The material was interesting, and she provided posted slides, but there was a lot of reading and the lectures were lengthy. However, she didn’t require attendance and posted recordings of the lectures afterward, which was helpful.
