He's crystal clear in lecture and literally goes over every book chapter by chapter. There is a ton of reading to keep up with and the tests are challenging. It is not an easy A by any means, but Bethea is great and I would definitely take it again.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/417620","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:45:22.574528+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTExNjMyNzg3","source_instructor_id":"rmp:417620","instructor_name":"David Bethea","course_label":"LITTRANS201","course_id":"LITTRANS 201","course_uid":"course_1788fff3d32457ad6827d311","review_date":"2006-03-30 01:54:14 +0000 UTC","comment":"Probably one of the best teachers/professors I've ever had!! You never no what he is going to say. I truly thought this class was going to suck, I was dead wrong.  If you need a Lit. class, then this is the class to take.  Easy AB!!

Easy 3 question T/F quizzes every class and then 3 essays, and 3 exams. The expectations for essays wasn't very specific, so it was hard to know what you were worked and what didn't, but she wasn't incredibly picky. LOTS of reading with really quick turnarounds though","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1783160","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:35:44.390617+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI3NjY4NTMx","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1783160","instructor_name":"Irina Shevelenko","course_label":"LITTRANS201","course_id":"LITTRANS 201","course_uid":"course_1788fff3d32457ad6827d311","review_date":"2017-01-04 07:47:52 +0000 UTC","comment":"The lectures are interesting and not boring at all.
