Pernille is the most caring professor I have ever had! She was so understanding about students struggling with online classes and stress due to COVID. She was so helpful throughout the process of papers and projects and gave great evidence on how to improve. I felt very comfortable reaching out via email or attending office hours! Highly recommend!Rate My Professors ↗
I absolutely LOVED Dr. Ipsen. She's super nice and it's really helpful to meet with her about upcoming papers. Overall a pretty easy and straightforward class. Reading is very manageable and the papers aren't too difficult. Highly recommend this class and I hope to take more classes with Dr. Ipsen in the future!Rate My Professors ↗
Typical Humanities class. Graded on 4 papers, participation in discussion, and weekly discussion posts. The First 3 papers are 250 words, final is a longer paper. Pernille was always willing to go over ideas for the paper and discuss anything. She was super nice and would remember you and the things you tell her. The class is interesting, take it!Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Ipsen is ok, but definitely not spectacular. She contributed little to my learning experience, especially when most lectures were simply general info off slides or discussion of previously-read texts. The library assignments had to be written a certain way. Overall, she seems like a nice person, but not someone to seek out for a class.Rate My Professors ↗
This class is awesome! I am a science major and still found all the information we learned in class interesting. There is a lot of weekly readings sometimes more than 60 pages, but the main portion of your grade is papers and participation. Awesome classRate My Professors ↗
The lectures are fairly interesting, but not necessary to attend to do well. The class does not have tests, only short quizzes that are based mostly off of readings. The readings are very time consuming. The majority of the work for the class is readings, two midterm papers, and one final paper. The papers are graded somewhat hard.Rate My Professors ↗
