TA could DETERMINE you grade based on your level of "participation". Which means you can attend all discussion session and ends up with 80% discussion score which gives you AB or lower just because you didn't "talk enough".Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Keeler made this course engaging and enjoyable. We studied four different novels, and our understanding was assessed through in-class essays. Participation in class discussions about the novels and lecture material also contributed to our grade.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Keeler was passionate about the subject matter, which made lectures engaging and informative. She was very approachable and helpful outside of class time. The grading policy was straightforward and ensured that students knew exactly what was expected of them.Rate My Professors ↗
The lectures were a little dry but gave all the material needed. To defend Prof Keeler and TA Ryan, the papers and exams are easy if you attend class + take notes. I didn't interact with Prof Keeler much, but she was kind. Ryan was nice and very passionate, just don't say something culturally insensitive or he will correct you (nicely).Rate My Professors ↗
Graded on 3 exams, participation in discussion, and two papers throughout the entire semester. Left half way throughout semester and instead of having someone take over for lectures gave a joke of a online weekly schedule for us to follow. Exams where open note which was nice but made the class way more stressful than it should have been.Rate My Professors ↗
