Reviews of professor Sophia Hsu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Only about 3 papers and group discussions regarding what we read and ideas of what to write about. Class was straightforward.

I would not recommend taking this professor we only used the textbooks towards the end of the semester also she gave us our final project to do before Essay 3 in the syllabus. While the final project is helpful as it pertains to career choices but i expected it to be english based. She used things like philosophy and psychology in her teachings too

Professor Hsu was good at explaining the topics. She was able to make the material more engaging when examining the characters within the context of the story, as well as the time period that they're placed in.

This professor is great. You have to write 3 papers and after each paper, she gives detailed feedback and allows you to rewrite the paper. Pay attention to her feedback as it can change any grade your received to an A!

I was looking at the ratings this professor had but unfortunately it isn't what its cracked up to be. This class was supposed to be engaging but she makes the lecture difficult when it isn't. Also be careful of pop quizzes. She doesn't follow the syllabus on weekly quizzes so brush up on your reading. But overall, I wouldn't recommend taking her.

Professor Hsu is a great professor. There is A LOT of reading. The class is called "the Novel" for a reason. She warns you that there is a ton of reading, and the syllabus reflects this. You read entire novels and write a paper for each. She give you great feedback and the ability to revise. She gives you every opportunity to succeed.
