Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5

Horrible class. The lectures didn't help at all for learning the material that we actually needed to know to write these horrible papers. What made it worse were the TAs, which is not Faith's fault, but still...her lectures could have helped us a lot more and she didn't have to write such ridiculous essay prompts. Don't take.

She saved english for me. I had been really turned off from it by an earlier english class, but this one got me interested again. She isn't the greatest lecturer and many times I felt like she was talking down to us a little bit, but overall I really liked this class. We read some very interesting books and the papers weren't that hard.

Do not take CompLit 203! Faith's lectures are horrible and absolutely useless and then she gives you essays to write that are difficult and have nothing to do with the lectures. A joke of a class!
