Julie Koser GERM255 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/16/2019	Dr.Koser is amazing. There is about two readings a week and the ones given at the beginning of the class is all theory and really dry to read. They took me forever to get done because it was so hard to concentrate. The other readings are stories and are interesting and fun to learn. Highlighting important information and writing notes for readings is very helpful and she loves to see that you annotate and are engaged with the readings. She does weekly group discussions which are for participation points. The final isn't too bad with an essay and written response parts to it. Review notes on the stories and know key information from her lectures for this. you need to write summaries and include the main points in the weekly summary essays. there is also a few papers on movies you watch and compare to original stories. Overall she is a great teacher and the class is super interesting and not too challenging.
Julie Koser GERM255 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 01/02/2018	Dr. Koser is an amazing teacher her and very passionate about the material she has selected for readings and discussion. However, she does want people to try their absolute best in a lower level class and grades accordingly. She expects a lot, however she also understands that the class may not be your main priority. That being said you do nerd to prioritize this class sometimes as there are many readings from both the book (Grimm) and other readings she'll select for you to read. Normally they're no more than 6 to 10 pages a week. However there may be a reading many orders of magnitude longer, although she will give you more time to get the reading done or will be more lenient on the material she tests. She's very flexible if you talk to her about an assignment or something akin and will help you if you make the effort ahead of time.
