Reviews of professor Elizabeth-Jane McGuire

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. McGuire is definitely an interesting person and sometimes makes the class very entertaining. However, she assigns a ton of papers in comparison to other ancients professors, and I barely had time to read the assigned passages. Class is very discussion heavy so be prepared to talk and she will call you out if you do not talk.

Nice and understanding professor. but can be a tough grader. Overall there are worse professors for sure and for a required class like ACS she doesn't give too much work, mostly reading and some essays.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
In my experience, Dr. McGuire assigned a lot more essays compared to other ACS classes. Dr. McGuire is a nice and caring teacher, but she often times is a tough grader and some assignments are not clear. Homework is assigned pretty much every class and students need to come to class prepared to talk about the readings.

Dr. McGuire is one of the sweetest professors I have had at Villanova so far. Her class is a lot of reading, but that may be because of the course and not because of her. You can get away with not doing the readings if you participate in the socratic seminars/discussions over the reading. No tests or pop quizzes, does not check for annotations.
