Fall 2018 - Dr Popham is a very nice woman but her class is unnecessarily difficult. It's basically a high school class with loads of mindless busy work. I signed up late and hers was the only section open--for good reason. Do yourself a favor and take this class if you have to with anyone else but her.

Spring 2017 - I write short stories myself and this class teaches me writing can be not fun at all and extremely subjective. Popham will change the theme of your paper and tell you sentence by sentence what SHE wants in there but not what YOU want. One person out of the whole class gets A. If you want to torture yourself just go take it and spend more than 10 hours a week and pray for a "B and above".

She prefered us to call her Shelby during class which i still had trouble with till today, but Professor Popham is a very helpful and thoughtful teacher. Our class got us prepared for writing our thesis paper at the very end. Although she does have many assignments she gives out along with reading notes and reflections after each class, the busy work is to get us writing constantly. The assignments you take home are vey useful later for other classes like apa formating and mla, annotated bibliographies and abstracts for thesis. She has very entertaining stories to tell in class that always make me laugh and inspired to write. I recommend Popham. You can revise as many times as you like and she always responds with either recommended or required revision. Great class, fun, and educational!
