It is obvious that this course covers Amanda's area of expertise as she's always able to give an extra piece of information or funny little side trivia about a reading or author. There was a lot of reading, but that's kinda expected from a course like this, and each reading was justified; there was no busy work. Among the best professors I've had! |

What a fun class! Amanda had us do all sorts of special things, like sewing our own syllabus codexes, taking a field trip to see how paper was traditionally hand-made, visiting the Special Archives, and, and, and. She definitely never let the material get boring and always had something fun (or funny) to add! Loved this! |

Amanda was extremely helpful in offering us insights into the variety of focus areas we might specialize in. She was always ready to give us more information if we wanted it, and her jokes made this class a lot of fun. There is a lot of reading, but it's definitely worth taking and taking with this professor! |

This is one of those courses and professors where you get to really get a hands-on experience on what you want to do. Amanda definitely knows her stuff and was super helpful in getting us to do final projects with which we could do something in the future. My project partner and I ended up donating ours to the Special Archives, which is super cool! |

Smart, funny, challenging professor who makes me think critically. No fluff here - do the work and you will reap the rewards. 10/10 would take another class |

Dr Gailey was one of the best teachers I had at UNL. She helped me with me papers and was always friendly. Class was not easy but I learned a lot. Yes she allows absences. |

Arrogant and annoying. Hard to get any help from. Hopefully won't have any more courses with her. |

Tough grader and grades things very last minute. Rambles on throughout class time and rarely asks for student engagement back. |

AMAZING LECTURES
Dr. Gailey is excellent at making students think critically. She helped me understand and enjoy poetry more than I ever thought I could. For this class, there were two papers (4-5 pgs) and either a third paper or an optional poetry recitation. This class has been one of my favorites at UNL; even if you disagree with her, she's easy to respect. |

Probably the best I had on upper level at UNL. She is very clear and gives a good overview before going to details. I'd recommend her for sure. |

TOUGH GRADER
Professor Gailey was the most unorganized and unhelpful professor I have ever had. She gives snarky replies to emails, and is not approachable. Her quizzes are incredibly detail specific, and her attendance policy is unreal (no excused or unexcused absences, no matter what). She pushes her political agenda down your throat every class. |

This professor doesnt answer emails, is rarely prepared for class, and waxes poetic about their own agendas instead of teaching. I have nothing against professors having their own opinions, but it is absurd how far it is taken. This class is supposed to be about "Being Human in the Digital Age," but it is solely about how much SHE hates technology |

I had "tone" down my image after showing my backpack with sewon patches I use for books which apparently she has a issue with some of the unit and company morale patches I had on it. I found out later that she didn't have the best image on the 2nd Amendment and that were was an article about her and Magpul (firearms accessory company) phone case |

Gailey was the worst experience I've ever had with any instructor.. She didn't respond to ANY of the students' emails. She gave a quiz over half of a book less than 24 hours after she assigned it. She was also late by three minutes every day, despite not having a class before ours. Her syllabus was unclear and she had to clarify things every week |
