Comment:
Hands down the most boring class I have ever taken- Shakespeare's comedies. Says 'um' like no one I've ever heard. I got to 300 before I stopped counting. Also, she is a bit of a prude, which is unfortunate, because Shakespeare was a little dirty and wonderfully funny. She managed to make the comedies rather uncomedic.

Dr. Comensoli genuinely cares about her students and will try her best to help you. Tests were not easy, but were not difficult either. You don't have to read all the plays, and since everything on the tests is based off her lecture notes (which she posts online) you really don't have to go to class. Overall, OK class.

This professor is absolutely amazing! The content was interesting, her analysis thorough and concise. While she can be a bit monotonous, her passage quoting and recitation makes up for it; she should have been on the stage. I would take any class taught by her.

Comensoli was great. Her voice is slightly monotonous, but she basically laid out the exam and midterms for us. Even though it's hard, try to stay focused in lecture, as she will give you really helpful hints.

She was excellent. Possibly one of the best profs I have ever had. Her analysis and the clarity with which she delivered her points was impeccable. She really helped me learn how to pick apart and delve into the text, and she was sweet and helpful.

She is very sweet and nice although she gives out silly marks like 75.7. But she really made classes interesting and showed a genuine concern for her students. She is one of the best in the department...(not that that says much).

This has got to be the most boring class I have ever taken. She seems like a nice woman, but I and most of the class, couldn't pay attention if our lives depended on it. The most boring class I've taken yet.

Interesting when she lectures, but shows WAY too many videos which are boring. Midterm was too long for the time provided, but willing to make changes for the final. the material covered on the exams is fair.

Lectures are pretty boring though the many films clips helps them move along. Midterm was ridiculous, so little time and she kept blabbing on the mic while we were trying to write. Tutorials are god awful and play selection was to be desired. Also, she is a little pretentious.

Comment:
Her marking on midterms and essays was hard, but she let up for the final exams. Her lectures get boring and seem a bit simplistic at times for a university course. She does have an overwhelming amount of knowledge though and high expectations. Group work makes the lectures less tedious.

She can be ridiculously boring but really easy marker. No problem getting a good mark in the class but the group work sucks.

Knows her stuff when it comes to the material. She seems reserved, but every now and then, she pleasantly surprises you with some brashness! Uses videos to enhance class material. The only thing I dreaded: the group work!!
