Reviews of professor Charity Ketz

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Ketz seems to be a nice caring person. For Engl50, workshops(discussions of peers pieces) was a big portion of the class. Even though I dont like writing, the class was good overall and my grade is higher than what I expected.

Overall, she treated this intro class as if we were all majoring in cultural sciences and honestly thought this was the only class all year. There were readings about 30 pages long which their would be a test on with the answers needing to so specific everyone would fail. The essays have the fastest turn around of any class with a week to do it.

Is a very tough grader, the grade goes down very quickly with every class missed. I got an A on every project, except for a B on one and still had a final grade of a B. Likes to call on people randomly, and will continue to ask them questions until they say something wrong.

This class is easy if you show up, occasionally participate, and complete the essays. The only grades are the five essays (no final), attendance, and participation. I never bought the textbook or read the readings & I received an A. Also, talk to her after class/office hours & make her like you. That's half the battle with professors.

Professor Ketz is overall a good professor, she is clearly extremely intelligent and loves what she teaches. Her class focuses more on the philosophy side of English. Liked this class because it involved a lot of group lead discussions. However, the main thing I didn't like was that she didn't grade anything until the end of the year.

Dr. Ketz is overall not out to get you. The class is just difficult if you are not prepared to pay attention. There is A LOT of reading due. 3 essays, 1 podcast piece, and 1 final presentation. Overall, the class was definitely not my favorite, There are quizzes on the readings occasionally, but most importantly, be ready to participate.

Prof. Ketz clearly knows a lot about the material she teaches, but I feel like she expected us to keep up with her levels of analysis which is nearly impossible for non-English majors. That said, she is an understanding person who values the opinions of her students. She truly wants you to do well, so maintain communication during the semester.

Don't get me wrong Prof. Ketz clearly knows a lot about the material we are learning but it's a tough class if you don't participate or pay attention. Attendance is mandatory. The amount of work we did was awful with hundreds of different readings on top of 3 essays, a podcast, and the final. She expects WAY too much for being an intro class.
