Dr. Hanson is a great professor--she's knowledgeable and cares about her students. Complete your assignments and the (typically short) readings to discuss in class and you'll be fine. The readings are interesting as well. She gives quality feedback for creative writing workshop materials.

I loved Dr. Hanson! If you like writing about current topics and personal interests, this is the class for you. Even in the midst of Covid, Hanson was very helpful and encouraging towards her students. She gave us adequate feedback on our essays and made the class environment a joy to learn in!

Hanson is great. She cares more about what you learn than you grade and will work with you on anything. Loved her and am taking another class with her. Reading heavy, but not too difficult. Just read the text before class. Only one quiz and midterm. Only two papers.

Professor Hanson is an amazing professor. She assigns great readings, and I always enjoyed the class discussions. She is a fairly easy graders. There is two exams, two quizzes, and two papers across the entire semester, and they were all pretty easy.

I loved the literature pieces Dr Hanson chose. She really opened my eyes to great literature. We had a couple of tests and two literature research based essays. She allowed for revisions on our papers if we were not satisfied with our grades. I learned to write better because of her teaching style. She was also accessible outside class.

Very kind and compassionate professor. Readings are typically short stories from the textbook or separately provided. Vocab quizzes (very basic words). Easy exams; just reading comprehension and vocab application. A few short papers. Great at explaining concepts and vocabulary in class. Listens to student feedback and truly cares about us.

The best professor I've taken at UNCA. Genuinely one of the nicest faculty members I've ever met. She cares, and will go the extra mile tohelp you do well. She's a fair grader and doesn't give an insane workload. Do the readings and participate and you'll do well. She's one of the professors you can go to for advice when you're struggling. 10/10!!!
