Reviews of professor Ellen Smith

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took comp with her and she was nice. The course load is manageable and it was sort of just busy work. I got an A and I did not do a whole lot outside of class except the essays. Only 2 of the essays are graded for real, the other 3 are for completion

Weekly blog posts were a pain to do, but I guess it tried to make sure students actually did the readings before discussions. Sometimes had overlapping projects of essays and a podcast assignment. Not too heavy essay wise: 5 essays, two of which were revisions, but one was given with only a week to do.

The atmosphere of night classes is either the best or the worse. This was the best. Get ready for lively class discussions/controversial debates about poetry. Blog posts 300 words each week for the reading, usually half of a poetry collection. Writing exercises. Midterm is podcast, very easy, completion based. Final leaves room for creativity.
