Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Caroline is passionate and a joy to work with. English 236 is an involved course. You'll drive two hours to work directly with community members on multiple occasions. There is group work and writing, and you get to know your peers and Caroline well. It's essentially pass-fail, which makes it an easy A. Very rewarding experience!

Dr. Druschke is one of the only professors I've come across that truly cares about her students and takes them into account. Material is interesting and grading criteria is so straightforward. So understanding especially during covid. Take her class if you have the chance!!
