Reviews of professor Alisa Clapp-Itnyre

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Highly-specific projects and grade is based more on whether you can complete nit-picky formatting goals than learning the course content. Highly disorganized. Many typos and errors for an English professor in her documents. Gives only 3 to 4 days to complete large assignments. Prepare to spend 16hrs or more per week by the time you read everything.

So much reading! I, personally, had no problems with Alisa, but I know she won't be everyone's favorite. She is a very tough grader, but she does give lots of extra credit opportunities. She teaches a lot of classes so it's hard to avoid having her at least once. Just listen to what she wants you to say use that template to develop your material.

The reading materials are heavy and fast paced. However as someone who is not an English major I am doing fine in her class. I was worried at first. But she is helpful when you reach out and open to talk to.

Avoid her classes. Lengthy, vague discussion questions. She tells you not to go over a specific word count or she dings you, but also takes points away for not enough detail. Prepare to spend at least 16-20hr/wk on this class alone. If you want an A you must parrot her own opinions back to her. No original thought or interpretation is acceptable.

Avoid her classes if you can. She gives you only 5-10 things to write about in discussion but takes off points if you write about the same thing as anyone else. She also forces you to watch her hours-long lectures and powerpoints. She gives at least two big assignments every week. She also makes you zoom call her to talk about every unit.
