Reviews of professor Elizabeth Mannion

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Honestly, she was tough. But I'm glad that I took her for Writing 1 & 2 at Baruch. The improvement that I made in my writing is something that I am proud of. I hated the readings and got called out for it a couple of times LOL. But other than that, be ready to put in the work because it'll be worth it in the long run.

Get ready to read! She does seem passionate but this class was not it. She was straight-up passive-aggressive with me. A lot of the students were thinking of dropping the class but didn't due to financial aid.

If literature isn't your cup of tea, it's advisable to stay away from it. The readings can be quite complex and demanding. On the bright side, the professor is incredibly nice and always ready to assist.

I took Mannion's Irish Writers course a few summers ago. Since it was a short summer class, the pace was intense, but the reading list was great and her lectures gave the class a solid background in modern Irish history.

She's nice, however if English is your second language, it can be sometimes difficult to understand her. There are lots of readings, four sequences to write and two movie reviews. Midterm and final are difficult, they include the concepts of specific eras and essays about particular readings. Also reading outline to present. I wouldn't recommend.

i absolutely love this professor. she is so amazing and if you have an opportunity to take a class with her make sure you do! there is a lot of reading but the assignments are very manageable if you read/participate in class. the class discussions are very interesting and she is really passionate about the material which makes the class enjoyable.
