Reviews of professor Christine Talbot

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Knows her stuff, but isn't very good at teaching it. We were given readings we couldn't possibly be expected to understand without context and help, which we were not given until AFTER we were supposed to do the readings. She spent at least two class days focused on grammar in our papers, which is a waste of time.

Chris is so funny. She has pretty dry humor, but shes great. There is a ton of reading, and you have to read all of it. Its also important for the quizzes. Make sure to ask questions if you dont understand. Participate and show up (especially for the participation grade!!)

I think Dr. Talbot is a cool person, but this is a difficult class for an intro-level. It is reliant on outside work so if you don't do the readings (which there are a lot of) you will struggle. I know she brings up family wealth as an attempt to bring up privilege, but sometimes it can come off braggy. It's an interesting class.

For a 100 level course, there is way too many readings. Each week I spend 6 hours watching videos and doing the readings, plus an extra hour doing the quizzes, and a couple of extra hours doing other assignments. The uploaded lectures come across as very condescending. She brags about being rich quite a bit. I would not take another class with her.

This professor and the class were awesome! The lectures were very interesting and really made you think. The assignments weren't too hard. There is a lot of reading in this class so make sure you give yourself time to get everything done.

Dr. Talbot is really funny but her class just involves so much reading and she does not give you enough time for exams. She also grades really harsh on everything including any grammar or even the number of paragraphs you have. She's pretty strict and grades you on participation and attendance. There is some extra credit. She's nice but too tough.
