Tracy is incredibly intelligent and does a good job at teaching her knowledge to others. She brought a whole new level to the literature and made me stretch my thinking, but the material is dense. Also she is awesome. This was a class that I can look back and know I learned something.

a bit of a hard grader. she graded me really harshly compared to other people in my section which i thought was unfair. i also had an impossible time getting in touch with her via e-mail, which was inconvenient. she sent out an assignment over spring break and made a due date that was also during the break, which was really unrealistic

I had Tracy as a TA for Shakespeare and she did a good job bringing together all the random stuff that the professor talked about in lecture. she didn't assign any extra papers and was a fair grader. she really wants to help you with your writing and cares about teaching.

Mrs. Lemaster was great! I went into English not liking to write, but she helped me to actually like it. She's a bit tough, and the writings aren't graded until the Midterm and Final portfolios, but she gives you plenty of peer reviews and conferences (2 are mandatory, and of course appointments you make yourself). Thumbs up from me. :)
