Amazing professor who is passionate about what she teaches about. Very clear on coursework due and what is necessary for each writing assignment. Something is always due but the workload is certainly manageable. Second time taking her and it has been a great experience both times. Very forgiving and easy to talk to.

Has high expectations but a great class to take. Some of the assignments' details were a bit fuzzy, but she was good about clarifying them in person and through email. Her style of discussion keeps students engaged and responding.

I loved this class. As other have mentioned, it is not an easy A, but it is not extremely difficult either, if you find the subject interesting. We do read a lot, but it is a lot of novels spread across many days as well as short stores and poems. The class is very discussion based, which I found great especially for the more challenging and confusing texts. In addition to that, we had 3 papers, one of which is the final, and a journal. The key to the journal is to do more than what is expecting in order to get a good grade. The papers weren't too bad and she gives you good feedback and returns them in a timely manner. She is a very liberal teacher so I think your growth also contributes to your final grade. I definitely thought I would get a B+, and was surprised with an A. Overall, I love the books we read and I loved the class. It exposed to a lot of new ideas and knowledge. It was my favorite class this semester especially being a STEM major and getting away from that.

Definitely an interesting class, but there is a lot of work. We read 10 books, and little short stories as well. Not an easy A at all. There are basically 4 papers, one thats 3 pages, and the rest are about 1250 words. There is also a 10 min presentation at the end. A lot of work is piled on at the end of the semester so be prepared. Satelmajer gives a really interesting view of New York City.

This class was really enjoyable, but don't expect an easy A. Satelmajer is not an easy grader in terms of papers on analysis so you really have to write high quality papers in order to get the A. There are a lot of books you read, but she spaces them out so that you never have to read a lot during the week.
