Reviews of professor Anna Dow

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
If you have to take English 135 at UVic make sure to take it with Ana! She is so kind and caring and gives very interesting lectures. She also has an AMAZING extension policy which came in handy many times for me! I found she was not a super tough grader.

Anna gives incredibly engaging lectures, and she will always give specific feedback if you let her know what you want to work on - she gave me a full paragraph back on every assignment. The participation grade is easy to achieve full marks on. Very fun lecturer, and always willing to grant extensions if you need.

If you have to take ENGL135 or 146 TAKE IT WITH ANNA DOW!! She is the nicest prof I have ever had. She allows students to miss a reasonable amount of class without docking their grade, explains assignments well, gives awesome feedback/suggestions, and makes herself extremely accessible outside of class. On the last day of class, she made us cakes!

My favourite professor ever. So sweet and caring. Always happy to meet and give you feedback. Reminds me of my favourite high school english teacher. If you are able to take her class, consider yourself lucky.

Anna made this class so enjoyable and it was by far one of my favourites this semester.  The content was very interesting and enjoyable.  She clearly cares lots about her students and wants to see them succeed.  Always available to answer questions.  She has a great extension policy which she encourages students to use to help with stress.

Anna is the sweetest prof at UVic. The content of the course was not my favourite, but she did an amazing job at making it somewhat interesting. I found her grading was tougher towards the end, but also that was probably something on my end. She will always grant you an extension with no questions asked.

Turned a chilly mandatory AWR class into a lil proto community by the end of term. Brought snacks in on the last day- HIGHLY recommend. Consistent but tough grader, very flexible in terms of assignment. Go to office hours and you won't be disappointed. Great lecturer, aware that not everyone wants to be here but we did want to in the end!

Dr. Dow gave excellent lectures. She is a difficult marker but if you do the work and attend the lectures it's easy to achieve over 70%. She does take attendance but it's not marked. She was always available to discuss things further outside of class, and gave opportunities for in-class discussions.

The sweetest woman alive. I strongly suggest this prof. She's caring, enthusiastic, funny, engaging, she's a gem. 

we had three papers on avg 1000 words each, I didn't do amazing but I thought her marking was very fair. I got exactly what I deserved, no more, no less.
