Really clear expectations, will never throw you for a loop. In-class discussions are important, but if you attend class, you should not have any issues.

So knowledgeable! Made me care about the subject and actually learn. She basically tells you everything you need to know in lecture, so even though attendance isn't mandatory, I highly recommend going. Actively searching for more classes by Zweck, loved her lecturing.

Jordan cares, which is more than I can say about the material. I didn't have to read a single word in this class from her very concise and clear lectures, and she's only going to test you on what she said. Papers and exams were straight forward, literally just show up and write down what she said and you'll do fine. Easy enough lit credit.

I really enjoyed taking Prof. Zweck's class. She is really passionate about what she is teaching, especially when it comes to medeival English. She will take the time to answer any questions that you have, which is really helpful. She can also give some leeway with certain deadlines just so long as you tell her beforehand.

Zweck is AMAZING. She makes the readings make sense and makes connections that you would have never thought of. Important to attend lecture because you will not get everything you need for exams without attending. Amazing lecturer, made me fall in love with English all over again. Also great online accommodations

Professor Zweck has wellness checks throughout the semester and acts like she cares- when I had COVID and mixed up my due dates and expressed my concerns about a paper being late, she completely dismissed me, causing me to lose a lot of points. She is the only professor not willing to hep me out. Do not take during a pandemic or ever. Engl 241
