Reviews of professor Lisa Raphals

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lisa is a very sweet person. Her tests can be difficult if you don't spend time doing the readings. This isn't an easy A class. We are given between 7-9 stories for each midterm (3 in total). Each story ranges from 2-30 pgs. Make sure to do the readings before lecture or else you wouldn't understand what she's saying. The lectures are very helpful.

Her syllabus is very clear. There are a lot of readings though, so it is more to understand science fiction and be immersed in it - rather than learning how to do it yourself. She does do popquizzes randomly, just to check if you've been reading. There are 25-30 readings - mostly short stories. Tests require attention to very specific detail.
