Quarter: Winter 2023
Grade: A
March 15, 2023

This review is meant for English 4HW not English 4W, but regardless, Oriah is amazing at teaching and is incredibly helpful. The course consists of three significant papers, a group teaching assignment, and readings for each class. Overall, although it sounds like a lot of work, the material is extremely interesting and fairly light. If you reach out to Oriah, attend office hours, or even just ask questions in class, the papers can be done pretty easily. I really appreciated the format of this class and the work Oriah puts into ensuring everyone understands what she's looking for out of the writing assignments. Very interesting class, would 100% take again, if you tend to like English classes, this one was a great one.

Quarter: Winter 2020
Grade: A
Feb. 9, 2021

The class consisted of 3 pretty substantial close-reading essays, each worth a slightly higher grade percentage than the last (20%, 25%, 30%). Grading is pretty subjective so that if you show a lot of improvement from the first essay to the last, you'll get a better grade. The content of this class is chosen by the professor, Oriah chose the theme to be "strangeness" and so we read about aliens and mysteries etc. Stuff like Poe, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and the play Gaslight. You'll have to closely read stuff, and it is a lot of reading. The class is small and very discussion-oriented so you will need to participate. My tips for doing well: write your rough draft early and bring it by office hours (Oriah is super helpful), communicate about accommodations ahead of time, actually read at least most of the books, show up, and participate. Do this and you'll do fine.

At the end of the quarter, our final essay was due when everyone was going home for covid and she made it optional/grade could only help. She is really nice and accommodating, 11/10 recommend.
