The lectures are well organized and the exams are pretty easy if you pay attention in lecture and do the readings (which are interesting and easy).

I liked about half of the readings, but didn't like the other half and were hard to read. The exams were fair. The papers are a large part of your grade and graded by the TAs, so you're kinda screwed if your TA is a tough grader.

Three papers are assigned throughout the semester but gain weight/percentage as you advance through the course to allow you to adjust. Three extremely fair exams as well with the lowest one dropped.

You need to complete the readings to do well on papers and exams (its easy to fall behind on them). That said, I think she was perfectly fair in her expectations, and always kept lectures relevant and interesting. I recommend ENGL156 for pre-health students who like reading/writing.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2210389","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0}]
