About half of things she picked for us to read we awful and barely considered American Literature. Some things were really good, while the longer readings (the novels) were unknown and poorly written. However, it was easy. Try to take it with another prof if you want to actually read good American Lit though.Rate My Professors ↗
This is Rachel's first year--and it's evident. She has a great funky personality, but tends to summarize in her lectures rather than synthesize. I feel I could have skipped every lecture and still managed to get an A or B on both exams and both papers. I did enjoy many of the course readings, but felt many others were poorly picked...Rate My Professors ↗
