She is incredibly accommodating and supportive, which is hard to come by. The class is structured differently which takes a little getting used to, but that's only because she doesn't believe in traditional grading (which is a good thing!). She is also so personable and easy to talk to. Any English major or any non-English major would greatly benefit from her classes.

05/19/2012 		GREAT professor- I took this course as an upper level elective (I am a psyc. major), and expected it to be difficult. Though the material is challenging at first (she mostly assigns us primary texts to read; aristotle, Plato, Isocrates, and other prolific writers), Prof. Valiavitcharska is very good at breaking down the readings and discussing them in class (note- you MUST go to class to do well). She also assigns grades very fairly, is very responsive to student concerns, and if you put in the effort you will likely to well in this class. A great class and I would definitely recommend taking it - provides a great overview of rhetoric and way to improve your reading and writing skills (esp. if you're considering law school but aren't an english major) .
