Good
Dr. Ross is super awesome and a great person. The course was very enjoyable and had a great impact on me even though it was only a required course. She is a tough grader so make sure you get her feedback.
Poor
Prof. Ross will talk nonstop for the entire class. She also goes on long trailing conversations which aren't relevant to the topic. She also expects everyone to be an english major and wants you to do work for her class every day.
Good
She assigns quite a bit of outside homework, but if you just turn it in by the date you'll do just fine in the class. There are three essays in the class in total Very sweet teacher who was always willing to help out students. Definitely recommended!
