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. |

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. |

This class is a decent amount of work for an lower level course. Not exactly in assignments but heavy in reading. And you HAVE to do the reading. There is a quiz every week and there are some 2-3 page papers but those aren't bad at all in size, but she is a really content based person. She is extremely well educated and it shows. She expects a lot of you, not in a bad way but a "I know you can do better an I want to help you get there" way. Don't take the papers as a joke, or your grade will be a joke. But she is awesome, she makes fairy tales into something that isn't just a story. She really shows how it is real literature and not a bedtime story. It kind of ruins it as something to read to your kids though, you know too much. She also is very receptive to students, and their ideas on how the course should be ran. Also she is very helpful and tries to make herself available to students. She might seem kind of intimidating at first but she is really cool at the end. Your grade will reflect the amount of work you put in at the end of the day. Highly suggest! |
