Reviews of professor Rachel Howatt

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I had Dr. Howatt for 2220, which was a pretty complicated semester -- she had to move the class online for extenuating circumstances, but she was personable and accommodating to students every step of the way. 

Her assignments are clear and easy, but help you think critically about the texts, and set you up very well to complete the essays.

She was the best professor I have had at LSU so far. Four papers that were clearly outlined, little homework assignments, did not require attendance at all. If you kept up with your work you will do very well in her class. She willingly helped me and read over my assignments. She is THE BEST!!!!

Just a grad student, not even a real professor. Full of herself and doesn't know much or how to teach it. Avoid.

There are a lot of readings, be expected to read 12 poems/ a couple of chapters every day for class. Class lectures are set up like whole-class discussions, but most people don't wish to participate. The assigned readings are boring and some are long. Overall, the professor has a good understanding of the material, but the material is unenjoyable.

Ms. Howatt is super understanding and fun to listen to. She genuinely cares about her students and wants them to succeed! Participation matters and there are some heavy assignments but overall a great teacher.

Loved her class. Its very essay heavy, which should be expected in a composition class, but Ms. Howatt makes everything as easy as possible and is very flexible with her office hours to make sure she can give you all the help you need on your projects. Attendance and class participation are easy ways to bring your grade up.

Absolutely love Ms. Howatt. She truly cares about the well-being of her students and cares more about us understanding the material than grading super difficult. She shows what to do for every assignment step by step. If I could, I would have her as my professor for all of my classes. Absolute favorite out of any teacher I've ever had.

Her class consisted of purchasing 6 novels and after each novel writing a 4 page essay. She is very funny and understanding. She is aware we have multiple classes and will be considerate with deadlines. All she asks is for your participation and attendance to be responsible. If all my professors were like her i would be a freaking genius.

Her class consists of only essays, so if you are not a strong writer do not take her class. She requires you to purchase the textbook which is only used a couple of times. I had an 89.26 B+ in her class but she wouldnt give me .74 points to get an A, and I never missed a class or assignment. She is a good professor just a mean person for that
