Reviews of professor Hera Naguib

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
No midterm or final. Three papers worth 70% of overall grade. Class is a lot of discussion but the reading is easy and enjoyable. The essay prompts are really broad so you get to write about what you want. This is the first english class I've ever enjoyed.

Hera is respectful and willing to work with her students. She definitely makes you earn your grade. Definitely one of the better professors that I have had.

Hera is very nice, but conducts herself as a typical English prof. Very into introspective literary reviews and deep meanings. There are Weekly Responses every week, as well as 2 papers. The weekly responses felt like busy work. The novels and poems she chooses are really interesting, though. Her feedback is okay, but not super informative.

Reads every single little assignment and will take off points anywhere she can. The 4 projects throughout the course are graded tough so make sure you take your time on them. Also make sure to take what she says on the drafts seriously and fix what she tells you to fix and you should get an A.

The literature we read takes max an hour to read before every class, and can be enjoyable if you set out an evening to digest it! The directions on most assignments are clear and can be tedious, but thought provoking if you make an effort to enjoy it. I appreciate the diversity in material studied, and enjoyed the midterm and final paper process.
