If you just want to fulfill your writing requirement, then I recommend her. In the "class discussions," you can mention one sentence from the reading and she will cut you off and start talking about her own opinions (fully supported with quotes from the text!) Take notes on what she says, write that up into an essay that she wants to read, easy A.ENGL1111 2011-11-18 12:07:26 +0000 UTC
She's not a professor but has taught this class several times. Essays and assignments aren't too hard, and they can actually be really interesting, but she herself is terrible. Asks for discussion then interrupts students and go on rants, and grades down if she doesn't agree with your opinion. Nice outside of the classroom, but don't take the classENGL1111 2011-10-19 11:05:08 +0000 UTC
