Reviews of professor Elizabeth Fredericks

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I've taken Dr. Frederick's English classes a couple of times. My first class with her was really informative and I learned a lot. My second year with her seemed way less so, and maybe that was because of the material we went over. Expect your grade to drop an increment after the final paper and exam. This was true with most of my friends in class

Her classes are open ended which is annoying, but but if you jot down things during class and have decent prose then youll do fine. Show interest in making legit points. Some students just praise the authors for having beautiful poetry and its not insightful and while Fredericks wont disagree she actually is smart as a whip. Ask questions!!!

Dr. Fredericks is fantastic. Her lectures are dynamic and interesting. She does give frequent writing assignments, but her grading is very reasonable and she's helpful in office hours. She emphasizes historical context alongside close reading. Negative reviews here are from freshmen in their first English class; they don't have perspective.

Dr Fredericks is a truly incredible professor. I had her for her first semester at Hillsdale, and she was kind, accessible, and incredibly intelligent. She was very helpful in office hours, and she's a relatively easy grader for Hillsdale, while still offering helpful feedback. I'm looking forward to taking another class with her someday!

Didn't know how to draw anything out of the text. Just told us what we read for homework

Theres a lot of people rating Dr. Fredericks who have never had an English class at Hillsdale before. She is actually extremely understanding, passionate about what she does, available, professional, and a unique and necessary addition to the English department.

Would not recommend this prof. I've had other English classes at Hillsdale and this was by far the worst. Expect lots of busywork that doesn't actually count much towards your final grade. Semi-hard grader, mainly looks at writing style, not analysis. Her lectures were sub-par, I didn't actually learn anything even though I did all the classwork.

Dr. Fredericks is caring, witty, and brilliant. She wants her students to succeed and will always go the extra mile to help them. Would recommend!

Dr. Fredericks is a very engaging, thoughtful professor. She really works to help students understand how to engage with literature through analysis, research, and critical context. Her class is very enjoyable, and gives a good foundation for working at an advanced level. Her grading is fair and her class was the highlight of my week.
