don't have much to say about this professor other than to avoid at all cost. treats students like child and makes the course harder than necessary with the lectures unrelated to the exams YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!

Professor Kanosky is truly a gem! I took this class in Spring 2020 and we had a swift transition to online-only despite the uncertainty of the pandemic. You must work for your grade  participation matters and you must stay on top of the readings in order to get a good grade and stay on track. Class consisted of 4 books, midterms, and pop quizzes.

Dr. Kanosky really cares about her student's success. Her class was heavily discussion based, and honestly, the content resonates so much more because of this. She is very adamant about getting theories understood since they are the foundation of all the essays. She offers great feedback and is very very accessible.

Prof Kanosky is AMAZING! The course is tough, but she really makes sure she gives it her all to help her students succeed. Not only that, but she actually cares about her students outside of the classroom and constantly reminds us of emotional health and school resources. Class is based off 4 papers (1 being the final) and some participation/hw.

Professor Kanosky is quite possibly one of the best Professor's I've had. I never even thought of taking American Studies for more than this class, but after taking her American Studies class I'm considering a Double Major. Do the work, Participate in class, read the books, get at least a B!

Professor Kanosky is easily one of the most caring and readily available teachers I've ever had. She genuinely cares about her students and their success. I had some family issues come up and I emailed her about it and she gave me an extension. Despite not being interested in the subject I actually enjoyed the class a lot because she made it fun

She is a really nice person and very supportive, but I felt like this class was a high school English class. She literally forces you to participate by calling on you. The class was very small. Grade is based on midterm, paper, and final, which are ALL about the 4 books you read. 2 books were interesting 2 were so boring. But like I said, so nice.

I highly recommend this professor! She was a great teacher. Make sure to read the texts (all provided by her) in order to do well in this class.

Don't get me wrong, she is a nice person. My problem is that a lot of her lectures are unnecessary and not related to the exams. The questions does not have anything to do with what she taught and the amount of time (1 hour 15 mins) is way too little for the exam when she docs every single little thing you miss. Took for my GED.
