ENGL 444
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Professor Shubert is awesome! Her knowledge and passion are evident in every assignment and discussion. She created a wonderful environment for learning and discussion. This class is definitely reading-heavy, but it was worth it for me since we read a bunch of interesting books that I wouldn't have otherwise.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Very passionate instructor, knows how to give engaging and thought-provoking lectures, and is easily accessible outside of class. English 444 has been one of those classes that makes me feel privileged to be receiving an education and to have such an intelligent teacher.

If you like book clubs and history, this class is for you. Read three books over the semester with some added readings. Professor Shubert is very passionate but some of her lectures have politics in them. Might depend on what your class topic though. Grading is pick your own grade then complete the list of assignments under that grade track.

Professor Shubert is the best professor I've met in my college. I took 313 twice with different topics: global film history and cinema realism. The films and readings were engaging and inspirational. I like her contract grading policy. It encourages me to learn with motivation and enthusiasm without overstressing or anxiety.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Professor Shubert is ok, seemed a little out of her depth, sometimes more interested in what she was saying than what students had to say. Strict but unclear requirements, lots of reading which was fine but it never felt like Professor Shubert knew what she was doing. Could be a good class but with a different teacher.

I loved this class and really enjoyed the professor. She's super nice and her lectures are interesting and funny. I highly recommend this class. It is an upper level English class, so expect a lot of reading, and there's a lot of discussion. Loved it.
