Professor Ellis makes class pointless and not worth going to. I volunteered for her Poets Speak event for a grade and she left us hanging once the show started. I brought my grandmother too and she never told if we could finally sit down. And she showed up late. She cringed and made faces when her students read poetry. Avoid this teacher if you can

Doesn't let students get a word in of their own in class. If they do she rips apart what they say normally. She seems to be religious oriented and if you don't write things her way your grade will suffer. Her grading is okay, but overall an avoidable teacher.

not my favorite teacher

She doesn't seem to be fond of any options that aren't her own and takes over all discussions. It's easy to do well in her class but she completely tears all papers apart. It isn't uncommon for her to go in and change little things because she doesn't like certain words or phases and I've found many of her suggestions to be completely ridiculous.

She seemed very much like she cared about us and wanted us to do well. However, she seemed to have little respect for our actual intellectual capabilities; assignments were trivial and were strongly reminiscent of middle school, especially papers. An easy grade if you go through the motions, though there is little incentive to do the work.

Be prepared to do a lot of reading. The work is EASY but there is a good deal of it. Attendance at both preceptorials as well as all lectures is mandatory. However, she is pretty understanding about late work if emailed in advance. A little spacy, but good if you want an easy A.

Had students do 2/3 of the grading, totally unfair. Disliked the class in general, try to get someone else for 180.

Kathleen may be a bit flaky and out there but she is really nice. Our class really enjoyed her. She's not difficult if you don't make deadlines, she forgives easy, doesn't remember names that often, comes up with wild story themes. She's great, just have patience. Easy class and interesting.

She does know her stuff - and like someeone else said, haha, some of things she says are really surprising. I thnks she's fair, and isn't too harsh about deadlines, and class always goes by really quickly.

She's a decent teacher, but she could be much more clear when she gives out assignments. The class is pretty easy overall.
