Reviews of professor Farrah Hersh

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Class is easy but boring. She also grades extremely hard for no apparent reason and does not respond back to emails about your grade. No clear grading criteria either. Attendance is mandatory but it's tough because the class is so boring.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Hersh constantly provides great feedback on the assignments and is very flexible to meet for office hours. Attendance and participation is mandatory, though it is super easy to participate and talk about the content. She breaks down each assignment and takes everything one step at a time. DEFINITELY recommend!!! Easy A if you do the work.

Professor Hersh was so lovely to have this semester. She's super sweet and super helpful. She keeps class very simple and fun. The workload isn't very heavy. She is willing to work with you. I will treasure my time in this class. I would easily recommend her to anyone.

Incredibly vague syllabus that she constantly tells you to refer to because she refuses to answer your questions in class or via email. She will literally not respond to your emails. So any questions about your grades will go unanswered. If you're looking for an easy A with no stress, I wouldn't take her.

She is very nice but there are a lot of small response papers, but she is super nice with grading!

Professor Hersh was a great teacher. She was very clear on what she expected and always gave great feedback. If you do everything she asks of you, you will do well in this class. Class was basically just having discussions. For homework we had 250 word journals once a week based off a film she assigned for us to watch. 2 papers and a final project.

This class is super easy but the professor grades awfully. She is super particular about everything yet has no guidelines for anything and gets sassy with you if you ask questions. She made what was supposed to be an easy elective an awful one. I'd take a different professor if your looking for an easy elective

If you get this professor for ENC2135 you are so lucky! My friends all had super hard professors and hated their classes because of the boring material but this professor is nice and makes the class interesting.

Loved this class, would highly recommend taking this professor! The class focuses on film and how it relates to genre. You will watch a lot of movies! She is super clear on her expectations for the papers and gives good feedback.
