Dr. Prasch is very knowledgeable and passionate about teaching, and it shows. She is one of the best professors I have had here. The content was super relevant, and the readings were helpful, but they were not required to do well in the class on a day-to-day basis, which I appreciated. Definitely would recommend taking one of her classes.

Dr. Prasch was my favorite professor this semester. Her lectures are engaging and she is extremely responsive to her students both inside and outside of class. She is organized, professional, and incredibly knowledgable. I didn't find CA 369 to be difficult, but attendance/participation were graded, so you have to go to class!

Dr. Prasch was great! She's one of my favorite professors at UW-Madison. She's great at speaking and doesn't just read from the slides, so going to lecture is essential. The class is relatively writing-heavy and really forces you to engage with the texts, but in a manageable way. For our last class she bought us donuts :)

Dr. Prasch is amazing! She makes an effort to cover a diverse range of topics. If you do the readings, attend classes, and take good notes, you will do great in this class. Dr. Prasch is very knowledgable about the topics she teaches and clearly communicates them to her students which makes the content easy to learn even if it's challenging.
