Reviews of professor Bernadette Andrea

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The best English professor I've had, bar none. Extremely knowledgeable about middle-eastern and European history and religion. I learned something about history in every single lecture. She challenged me to write some of the best essays I've ever written. I cannot recommend her classes enough.

There are a lot of readings each week. However, as long as you read them all, it's not hard to get an A. Besides, Prof. Andrea is very caring. Whenever you ask her a question, she will answer it very carefully.

Professor Andrea is very kind and understanding. she will honestly try her best to help you pass the class as she canceled class lecture 1 time so she extended the rest of the quizzes.

I took this class as one of my GEs. It was horrible. I cannot imagine how difficult online teaching is for teachers, but Professor Andrea did not seem to have any sympathy or awareness of how her students are feeling in her class. The lectures were 2+ hours long. Quizzes ridiculously hard. Super long readings. Time constraints. Worst class yet.

The class had a very manageable work load, and the material was really very interesting! I didnt think that I would be interested before hand, but the teacher is very passionate about the class and very clearly knows the subject well. There were three papers, and the third one was supposed to be built on one of the previous ones. 10/10 professor.

winter 2022 went online. Not recommend this class for non-English speakers or ppl not into literature. Do not take a class that fulfills both area G and WRIT. The prof is nice but the content is just difficult and the grading solely depends on TA. Powerpoint is not clear for review and there's no interaction during class.

The grading is alright. Its not a hard GE if you love literature. The lecture is absolutely amazing! It brings the dense material to life.

I loved CLIT 30B, and this is coming from someone who usually does not like to read and analyze. She has so much knowledge on not only the literature itself but the historical context, and is very put together. Papers are straight forward and if you put time in and follow directions you will get a good grade. I also recommend the honors section!

A lot of the reviews on here complain about the workload but it's totally manageable. Prof Andrea is really amazing - she has incredible knowledge about female writers from the Renaissance era and it has honestly changed how I see the world as a woman. This class is organized and predictable as well, just take good notes during lectures.
