Elizabeth Schechter PHIL408P Expecting an A Anonymous 05/20/2025	Professor Schechter is a pretty good professor. Her passion and knowledge shines through in this mostly discussion based class and she's very clear with feedback (sometimes a little sarcastic too but nothing truly rude) on the essays and other assignments. The class itself was fine. I was only semi-interested, and the weekly journaling assignments weren't too time consuming. In general, the class is pretty lowkey, except for when it comes to the essays. She releases the prompt on Thursday and expects a rough draft finished by Tuesday. So to adequately answer the prompt, I needed to write 500-1000 words a day which was definitely time consuming. But otherwise, class is fine. Professor is good, and I recommend her.
Elizabeth Schechter PHIL408P Expecting an A Anonymous 08/24/2023	The course was fine. Interesting stuff and the prof knew how to get a discussion going. The thing is I didn’t feel like I was actually learning that much because the discussions were so poorly structured/designed and they took up So Much Time. It seemed like the prof basically used discussions to cover up her lack of preparedness. Mind you this was a 400-level course but she came in with the attitude of trying to get us to discuss very superficial stuff; that really discouraged me from doing the readings.
