Reviews of professor Maya Hislop

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The class overall was an easy class. Participation really does matter in her class since it is discussion-based. Just make sure to speak two times every class, and you should be good. Dr. H does critique what you say, but remember it's an easy A! In all, we only had two major assignments which weren't really hard to complete.

The class should be discussion-based, but most of the time Dr. Hislop gets carried away with her own thoughts on the reading and says everything for us. The writing exercises were pointless. Sitting in her class felt like middle school again. However, her assignments are creative and the EC is nice, and half of the grade is just for participation.

Dr. Hislop is a new professor to Clemson, but her knowledge and passion about literature motivates you to do well. She understands not every text will be our favorite and invites honest and open discussion about the texts we read in order to better inform us about social issues, race, gender, and politics in every day life. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Hislop's course material was interesting/relevant. But, the work done in class doesn't better your writing or literature skills. Not exactly sure what the goal of this class was. The grade is based only on papers and participation, which are graded harshly and take over 3 weeks to get back. Hard to participate when she critiques opinions.
