That being said, she gives a LOT of extra credit opportunities that make it much easier to pass. If you have a TA who isn't strict you should be okay in this class. It's necessary to go to all lectures/get notes from a friend. ",

Prof. Cooper is passionate about what she teaches but with expert blindness, her class is incredibly difficult. The whole class is graded on 4 assignments so you can't mess up either.",

This woman just loves the sound of her own voice and will talk about things that have nothing to do with the class. Wouldn't be surprised if she was diagnosed narcissist.",

The final is on all material, the tests are completely write in and identify passages and then write an essay about them. Old English is like learning a new language.

Cooper knows a lot about medieval drama and will make class engaging, despite the readings being a bit of a bore sometimes. The final performance, while a lot of work, was also highly rewarding and enjoyable. Attend every class to understand material. ",

That being said, discussion was sometimes downright uncomfortable: she has a very specific idea of what is right, and will not hesitate to tear apart someone's comment if she doesn't agree with it. There is also an insane workload. ",
