Reviews of professor Emily Blair

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The readings include Native American, women, and African American literature in the early United States instead of the readings from white men. She has handled issues of racism and sexism with discretion and honesty. There is a lot of reading, but the literature is interesting and the in-class discussions are great. She is hilarious and genuine.

Did not learn much with this professor, not my cup of tea and spoke poorly about other classes which means she was complaining about us to other students. Very unprofessional.

Blair is a good professor and does a good job teaching her class but gives a lot of work.

Blair was an amazing professor and shows that she really cares for her students. She has her set guidelines and if you obey then you will pass the class. She requires that you come to class because that is how college works - duh - she will use pop quizzes to get you to class. She is willing to work with students on their assignments to help them.

11/10! I love how she avoids topics of ehthics and morality, which can usually create tension between students and instructors. "If it's picketable, don't write about it" is her rule, and I'm really grateful for that! Super energetic and entertaining! I feel like her class was the most productive out of all my courses.

Does not care at all about students. Or learning. Cares way more about arbitrary rules and making people feel small. Do not take.

Emily is a wonderful person, instructor, and mentor. She gave great feedback on my creative writing and helped me grow as a writer. The class was very easy and she made it easy to transition online after COVID-19. She loves her students and makes an effort to meet people where they're at. She can be a bit vague when teaching, but that's about it.

Granted for a lit class I expected to read, but don't take this class unless you are ready for 80+ pages per week of tiny writing in a language type nobody speaks in anymore. The discussion boards didn't enrich learning, and made me feel like I was just doing busy work. There is a lot of writing, and I spent almost 10 hours per week on this class.

I love Professor Blair! She was the best teacher I had at MCC. I loved her so much I took both her English classes! She is excellent at teaching to expand your writing to help you in the future. She was showing how important it is to write and read. She is a smart and funny person. Excellent for reference. She makes you work hard.

superficial teaching with lack of interest to her students. She will not take the time to explain where you went wrong or help you write better.
