Reviews of professor Corinne Bancroft

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Corinne Bancroft exceeds all expectations as an English professor. She is highly intelligent and her lectures are thought-provoking with a huge emphasis on class discussion. She challenges your knowledge and always provides amazing feedback on essays. She is extraordinarily understanding and kind about deadlines and making up assignments.

You will write A LOT of essays! most are only 750 words. You won't be 'close read' at, lots of discussion. No prompts for essays, so lots of freedom. You will walk away with great tools for essay writing and how to edit a good paper into a stellar one. 10/10. English departments everywhere are in dire need of profs like her.

Lectures were a bit boring, and she seemed unsure where she wanted to direct the class discussion. Grading criteria was not extremely clear. However, she was very understanding about deadlines, and respectful of student ideas.

Corinne is kind, empathetic, and open to hearing from and working with students. The only area I see for improvement is in learning about social justice issues and intersectional perspectives more. She has the right intentions but just lacks some knowledge (which makes sense, because it's hard to get without lived experience).

Being in corrines class was inspiration because of how passionate she was about teaching english. Class discussions were never forced but always encourage. She hand writes her discussion and adds to them as she lectures so its never boring. All assignments are easy with a clear criteria she gives you. If you argue your point well its an easy A.

Corinne is an extremely nice human but she was a pushover. She would allow students to bash other students & would not step in when it was getting ugly. She allowed for an environment that did not feel like you had a voice to talk about American literature if you were not the minority. Nice lady, but this class is not just about the literature.

Love her! Such a great prof. She really cares about students, and she wants everyone to succeed. Attendance/participation are for marks, but the lectures are so good you'll want to show up regardless. Clear with assignment criteria and marks fairly. One of my favourite profs I've ever had, she really inspired me!

An amazing professor, she was one of the sweetest instructors I have had in my years at UVic. She was passionate about the literature and cared about the students; she was also my first teacher post-high school who made the effort to learn every student's name. Can't recommend taking her class enough, you won't regret it.

Loved this class. Super interesting material and Corinne genuinely wants students to succeed and gives out extensions whenever needed. She is very kind and loves class discussion without forcing participation. Overall, highly recommend her class!
