This course will be my lowest grade for any English course ever as a 4th year. Dorothy graded unnecessarily hard and her feedback was not helpful, if not slightly rude at times. She had us write an in person exam for an online course and it was worth 40%, no multiple choice - all written definitions, short answers, and a poetry analysis. There were a lot of readings and it made it difficult to know what to study for. I would not recommend this course to anyone, especially with this professor.
