She is NEVER available during office hours. I'm serious. Prepare to fend for yourself. Overall, I found her overly disorganized. Although she gives out only As and Bs, I do NOT recommend Sara",

In her criticism courses she does a good job of making difficult philosophical texts understandable to English majors not previously familiar with any philosophy.  Guyer is a prof with much enthusiasm not to mention she's very attractive.",

But, if you're interested in learning ****ed theories on how to understand (falsely) the authors subconscious, sexuality, etc, this is the Professor for you.",
