A. I liked that he course kept to the text as far as work, discussion, etc. is concerned. Many classes digress too much from the text and become classes of theology/philosophy or of history.

In the space below, comment on the instructor’s performance in this class, his/her degree of preparedness and any other aspect of his/her teaching you would like to mention. Also comment on reading, workload, exams and papers, and rate this course in relation to other English courses you have taken.

 

 

 

Both professors performed admirably and their respective differences in style and concerns met nicely – the team teaching allowed for a very full experience in my opinion. Both were well prepared and thorough. At times the reading load was exhausting but I expected such. Other workload was manageable, thought I was surprised by having two papers due for the final. The course was challenging & interesting – more in-depth than many courses I have taken. Overall I am very satisfied with the way this course turned out.
