The course reader had very interesting articles. Professor Moe always engaged with students, asking us to discuss with our peers and have larger group discussions as well. There are two small essay questions a week, as well as two large papers based on the reading and viewing homework. She is very eager to help students that ask for it. More than just an English class, 100% recommend.
Dr. Moe is one of the best English and writing teachers I have ever met. She is very enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable about the topic she teaches. In the class, she demands us to develop our writing skills and styles by connecting different political topics. Honestly, I had little interest in American politics as an international student, but the class definitely brought me some passion toward the topic. Regarding the class materials, the homework require many readings and two small papers submitted on Monday and Wednesday. The writing assignments were pretty challenging for me, while I really found myself developing a style after completing all of the assignments. The final paper has a minimum length of 8 page, and we need to develop an analysis toward the TV series The Plot Against America with connections with materials we have read in class. I had a terrible first draft, but Dr. Moe was very generous on grading and very helpful in paper conferences, so that I stilled managed to pull an A out of the class.
Dr. Moe is a great professor. She's so nice and helpful, and the class material is very interesting and engaging. There were two homework assignments per week that required a bit of reading/watching, but she grades pretty easily on those so it's no big deal. She also gives a couple extra credit assignments. We had one big paper due at the end of the quarter. She was very helpful during paper conferences. As long as you participate this class is great.
Professor Moe is amazing! Our class was based around a TV show "The Plot Against America", which was really engaging, and we also read lots of interesting articles and watched some more interesting movies. Discussions around these topics were very engaging, and the papers we wrote around these topics were papers that were interesting to write. Professor Moe ensures that everyone has a chance to speak, and helps you develop your ideas further. She is also prompt with replying to emails and making accommodations if needed. The workload was a bit heavy but that might have also been cause I took this class in the summer quarter which moves faster (it was a 6-week program), but the work was always interesting and engaging. I would definitely recommend taking her class!
If I could give Professor Moe a 10 for "Helpful", I would! She is so amazing. I took her class after being away from school for 20 years. I was a horrible writer. This class was instrumental in preparing for the numerous papers that I would have to write for other courses. I owe all of my successful papers to Prof Moe!
If you like participating in class discussions, this class is for you. Even if you aren't the most extroverted person in the world, Professor Moe does a fantastic job of making sure everyone feels like they legitimately have something valuable to share with the class. Our average day was pretty much 15-20 minutes previewing and explaining the next homework assignment then the rest of class time was dedicated to discussing the readings from the last assignment. A 300 word homework essay was due before every class connecting ideas from two different places, such as an episode of our assigned TV show and a New York Times article. They usually went pretty quickly and easily. The midterm and final are both essays around five pages each and she meets with each student individually to discuss your rough drafts, which I found to be very helpful.
Overall, the class deals with very relevant issues in our world through many different viewpoints. We watched both movies and TV shows that tied in very well with our topic, which was political art's role in racial injustice and resistance in American history.
There is a final group project as well, but it's basically each of you guys reiterating the main points from your final essay so it's really not that bad at all. I definitely recommend taking this class with Professor Moe for a very engaging and valuable experience.
I have mixed feelings about this class. If you're looking for an insightful class, this is it. For Spring 2020, the materials are heavily focused on social issues such as misogyny and racism etc. We used The Handmaids' Tale as the centrepiece of the class. It was a very heavy classes since there was a lot of readings and writings. But, I expect no less from a writing class tbh. There's writing assignments for every class and you'll have to do a lot of reading (the novel and some additional readings) to be able to respond to the prompts. There's only two papers (for midterm and final) that you have to write. The papers weren't too hard in my opinion. The first one can be a bit tedious but you'll get the hang of it since the two have a similar prompt. Also, this class is extremely relevant in our current political and social climate. So, if that's something that you're looking for, please feel encouraged to take this class. This class requires you to speak and actively engage in discussions so if you're and extreme introvert or just aren't that comfortable discussing political or social issues, this may not be your pick, but for those who are well-versed in this type of discussion, do take this class.
This class met pretty much all my expectations. Workload and difficulty were just right, if not light (though there was considerable reading, including the entirety of The Handmaid's Tale); the professor was flexible because of the circumstances with COVID-19 as well as open to feedback and suggestions. I recommend it to anyone looking for a Writing I class, but particularly if you're interested in the current topic, The Art of Resistance, and the central work, The Handmaid's Tale.
Prof Moe is always open to help her students and encourages accessibility. Lectures are more like discussions where the professor and the students talk about concepts in the assigned readings and how they relate to each other and/or The Handmaid's Tale. Weekly workload consists of a few readings plus study questions, which are graded lightly and are also great writing and brainstorming practice.
Prof Moe will give written feedback on the rough draft due before each paper (two papers total), and will hold a short meeting to go over her comments and the draft before you turn the final draft in. She also gives a lot of generous extra credit opportunities which more than once bumped me a letter grade up, so take advantage of those.
I would not recommend this class if you're a non-native speaker and/or not comfortable with writing an academic paper in English, because this class focuses more on critical thinking and literary analysis than writing per se. Otherwise, this was a pretty good class and I recommend it for anyone looking for an EngComp 3 class.
The class was much easier than I expected it to be. Instead of the previous years where the course material focused on travel, her theme changed to dystopian fiction and resistance. The class revolves around reading The Handmaid's Tale and watching the first season of the adapted show, and interpreting both within the themes of resistance.
The first essay, worth 30% of your grade, has to be a minimum of 5 pages, and focuses on using an outside text from the course reader to interpret THT as the book. The second essay, worth 50% of your grade, (min 6 pgs), interprets the show. The rest of your grade is participation, which is also graded based on the reading comprehension quizzes that you take (she lets you use whatever notes you take, they aren't hard and she's lenient on grading) as well as 2 group projects analyzing Get Out and Blackkklansman.
Overall, the class is not very difficult. If you pay attention in class during discussion and take notes on the concepts and analysis based on resistance, you will do fine. Her quizzes test very basic plot points from the book/show; she never asks any trick questions. For the two essays, everyone gets the chance to get feedback from a rough draft and she also reads your revised draft afterwards and gives you more suggestions, so you know exactly what she is looking for before you turn in your final drafts. She also offers many extra credit opportunities throughout the quarter in the form of homework essays and some art projects at the end.
