I became too ill to attend the final exam. I felt guilty and was unable to advocate for myself. Dr. Anderson failed me. It remains one of my most sorrowful memories of college.",

It can be difficult to keep up with the readings (Modernist Novels), but try not to get behind with the daily work. Does contract grading and prefers projects over papers. Highly recommend",

She makes you work for it and is willing to help you the entire way. She's not only a great professor, but a great person. Not sure if I want her to be my best friend or adopt me. Maybe both",

You need to do the reading to stay up-to-date in this class and there is a lot of daily work involved (reading journal), but she is a very fair grader and provides good feedback.",

But her class is hard; you HAVE to attend and read and take notes and KEEP UP. She's also a super tough grader; she expects you to listen and learn. Book choices are excellent.",
