Reviews of professor Kirsten Andersen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Andersen is cool and obviously very passionate, which made a huge difference for me. This isn't an easy A, but a lot of your grade is based on participation and doing the readings. The exams were the only essays. If you put time into this class, you'll get a lot out of it!

Professor Andersen clearly cares about her students; she offers in-depth feedback and is always accessible outside of class. My only critique is that sometimes I felt like she wanted us to interpret literature in a certain way and it sometimes felt limiting.

Professor Andersen was super kind and genuinely one of the best professors I've had at UC. While taking the class I was annoyed at the work we were doing, but looking back it's way better than you're standard "essay every 2 weeks" course. She took time to do some cool projects like writing/revising a Wikipedia article, and other multimedia projects

Prof Andersen is clearly passionate about her subject and is engaging during class, but she is a very frustrating grader, often going against the syllabus or directions when docking a grade. For this reason, I felt like assignments overall were not very clear and I would not take a class with her again. Also, be prepared for endless group work.

Any simple question you have to ask her is considered "wasting time" and tells you to come to office hours to ask it. Very rude to the guys in the class. Very left leaning and lets you know it.
