Try to read all the material so you can actively participate in literature discussions.

Extremely boring and originality is discouraged. The only acceptable answer is the teacher's opinion. In addition, the class is always super tense because no one trusts her. The material is worthless and we hardly do what is necessary for the course itself. It's a joke of a class.

Most importantly, she is simply a bad teacher and I have learned nothing from her in the two years I've had her. She is unreasonably rude to everyone, belittles her students, and shuts down any opinion she does not agree with. She also singles out students she does not like and is personally rude to them in front of the class. She will also approach you in the halls to tell you that you did poorly on an assignment many times, and will be loud about it each time.
