Winter 2024 - Very bad professor. Grading completely unfair, claims she “hates giving prompts” but hates any prompt you come up with. Gives out assignments that ask the impossible and tells us to do things she’s never taught us - and if you don’t do it right - you’ll fail the assignment. She even explained an assignment wrong, admitted that she was at fault, and then after WE ALL DID IT “WRONG," she made us redo it the last week of class. Essentially, instead of taking responsibility for essentially setting us up for failure, she assigned more work. Daily readings were far too dense to be met with absolutely no explanation. Class has no structure and I can confidently say that I learned nothing. Also she said this course was her “brain child” and that it was crafted to communicate that poetry of the Americas is more than American poetry, but most of what we read was poetry from the United States. Did not broaden my perspective, just made me realize I should never take a class from her again.
