The content of the class/ the readings are overall interesting but the grading system is insane in my option. The main grades going in the grade book for this class are your daily writing prompt(s), which you do at the end of every class (and each assignment has 1-3 prompts). Going into this class, I was more excited for this rather than writing 4 or so multiple-page papers (which you never do in this class). Unfortunately, Professor Rosenthal is a VERY harsh grader. I usually feel as though I understand the readings pretty well but I consistently get 20 points off of my assignments for what seems like very minuscule reasons. She'll write one brief comment on the assignment that doesn't explain why you got points off but you'll get an 80/100 or worse and be left confused. I've heard from other classmates that they've experienced this too. Personally, if I would've known how harshly she grades I would've chosen another professor. |

Honestly, a 4 star rating is probably a little too high but the three star is way too low. Most importantly, she’s a super nice professor. But the class does have a really insane reading list. We sometimes had two nights to read 200 DENSE pages from 18th century novels. But the quizzes were always easy (even tho there were 12 of them) and she went over most of what was on each quiz in class. She can be a little tough about your essays, but if you send it to her a little before the due date she’ll read it and provide great feedback. All in all, I’d recommend, but don’t expect anything life changing. |

Honestly, she's fine. Like she isn't the best but isn't the worst. I feel like i didn't learn much in the class and she's boring and drones on but she isn't hard. Had daily readings, class exercises, 1 paper, 4 quizzes, a research project, and a final exam. Wasn't too demanding or difficult just a bit boring she talks for the entire class |

Professor Rosenthal is great. She is so excited and passionate about the texts that she teaches. The reading schedule can be pretty rigorous (especially with texts like Paradise Lost) but she's a fairly easy grader when it comes to the two essays. ENGL311 is a good course, but like I said earlier, you're going to be reading some long (and sometimes boring) texts that take a lot of sifting through to understand. She never gives reading quizzes or anything, but if you don't finish the reading, then you're going to be beyond confused during class. |
