Reviews of professor Queen Zabriskie

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
There is a lot of reading, most of it dense and difficult to follow. Class is taught in a discussion format, but not in a way that really makes sense. The discussions do not help very much to understand the course material better. Tests are difficult, grades are hard to understand. That being said, she is very sweet and clearly knowledgeable.

Very nice, but she doesnt really teach. Its mostly the same 3 people talking about the readings (and if you forget to do them, youre screwed) and she randomly says something that makes 0 sense. She also doesnt give homework, so if you dont talk in class, you fail. Its frustrating because I learn nothing, and there's no way to when she doesnt teach.

Zabriskie's classes are VERY reading heavy and class time is really only for discussion about what you read (so come prepared). I found it difficult to keep up with assignments, and although she is very understanding, she can be hard to get in contact with. However, she is very knowledgeable and I found myself learning and laughing a lot in class.
