A. The fact that it was centered around women. We’ve already heard a lot about Renaissance men. So it was refreshing to hear about the women.

B. The amount of reading it got to be a lot.

C. Sure.

D. Not really.

                                                                                                                                                                                   

A. I really enjoyed reading new female authors, especially during that time period when women were seen mostly as possessions.

B. Sometimes it was too much reading.

C. Definitely.

D. I really liked Prof Hamrick. He is a very intelligent man and has a lot of wonderful ideas. He is ideally the professor I would want. His head is so full of knowledge I was amazed.

                                                                                                                                                                                   

A. Feminist Focus.

A. I’ve never had a chance to really study in a women studies course; I enjoyed the experience.

B. N/A

C. Yes.

D. N/A

                                                                                                                                                                                   

A. The main focus- Before this class I knew next to nothing about women writers’ before what a typical survey course would teach. I think its important to hear about women writers & it must start somewhere. Maybe if it starts w/ classes like this it can move into high school & junior highs!

B. A few of the readings for the course became very tedious and hard to read. I wouldn’t necessarily take them out because I think they provided a solid background for other texts, however maybe parts of them could be excluded from the course to make the reading a little easier.

C. Definitely! I think Professor Hamrick is an excellent instructor. He is very respectful of his students and constantly asks the class how his teaching is going, if we’re able to keep up w/ the work,, etc. He is always prepared for class and is extremely knowledgeable about he subjects he is teaching. He is also very good about looking up the answers’ to questions he doesn’t know.

D. N/A

                                                                                                                                                                                   

A. I liked the text we read, and I learned a lot form the readings. The class lectures were informative and helped me better understand what we were reading.

B. The professor could be more organized, especially with the paper assignment sheets. There really wasn’t anything bad with the course…

C. Yes.

D. Thanks for a good class! I enjoyed it and feel I have learned a lot.

                                                                                                                                                                                   

A. The informative lectures.

B. Many of the questions seemed vague or misleading.

C. Yes, if they are concerned with true learning.

D. Hamrick is very knowledgeable and can illuminate the working of a text so well, that I feel like I literally read it in the dark considering how many things I missed. Hamrick’s passion made class rigorous and fun (and a little intimidation). I appreciated his personal opinions, disclaimers, and openness to everyone interpretations.
