Great prof! marks fair, not easy but fair. Super caring, understanding, and makes classes interesting. One of the only profs I've had that I feel like they really care and want you to do well.

I love Professor Warne! She cares about her students and class environment. Loves class discussions and is super passionate about teaching. I handed in an assignment a day late but she waved the deduction because I never missed class. Her Victorian Literature class was really really good and I recommend it to all English majors.

Comment:
Dr. Warne's class oozes with positive energy but runs a tight ship- nobody messes around. Her lectures are very engaging. I took her 19th century short story course and it was the most interesting class that I enrolled in. Other students thought she was a very hard marker but I felt she was fair. If you put in the hours, she will reward you.

Dr. Warne is hands down the best prof I have had at the U of M. Engaging, intelligent, kind, empathetic, and genuinely cares about her students as well as the literature. She's not a pushover, and she definitely makes you work for the grades; don't expect an easy A. However, she is extremely accessible outside of class and super helpful. LOVE HER.

Comment:
This is by far the worst Professor Ive had so far. She was rude and belittling. The lectures are centred around her opinions and shes quick to disparage you in front of the class if you dont agree. She sometimes marks in pencil and gives horrible feedback. Takes long to mark. Course material was uninteresting and boring.

Dr. Warne made poetry more interesting and understandable. She's a tough marker but is easy to talk to and ask for help. She cares about her students and knows all of their names. The class was discussion based and she encourages participation. Her lectures were very helpful because the exam is basically re-explaining the class material.

Comment:
I wasnt interested at all in the topic, but she made it so entertaining and was so passionate about it, that I kinda got drawn to it and found the motivation to actually read the books. She might be a tough grader, but she is very open to explain and discuss her evaluations on your essays and in most cases youll see that shes right. Also very funny

Dr. Warne's class was the best part of my day. The course may be challenging to those not interested in literature and there is a heavy focus on poetry, but she makes it engaging. She loves participation and knows everyone by name. Vanessa gives great feedback, especially if you see her out of class. I would recommend her to anyone studying English

Really passionate about literature. Though I entered this class thinking I would major in English but she has made me lose all interest. Expects you to remember word for word of 70 poems for final exam, and info about the poems like the publication date. Also very biased. Would not take a course taught by her again.

Dr. Warne is a tough grader, but gives a lot of feedback on how to better improve your papers. Passionate about the subject, and provides background on the historical context of the literature too. Good balance of lecture and discussion in the class.

Dr Warne is the best. She knows what she is talking about and goes through and explains everything to make it very clear. Content heavy. Tough but fair marker. Genuinely cares about her students and wants them to succeed

This woman knows what she's talking about. She's very good at speaking and answering questions, and she's good at making people feel comfortable participating in class. If you put an effort in, she acknowledges it and learns your name quickly. Although she was engaging, the class is hard so remember to prepare yourself so you can pull through!

It's an English course seriously it's not going to be a walk in the park. Show up, participate and listen and you will do just fine. She is available to help you aswell.

Great Prof, engaging and sympathetic (and not a pushover though) and hugely passionate about both teaching and literature. She keeps classes interesting and flowing well, gives extensive feedback, knew everyone's name, just a great educator all around. Also strangely attractive...

Vanessa is extremely passionate about the material she teaches. She really encourages participation and will go the extra mile to help you if you put in the work. She is a tough marker but if you work hard and use her office hours she will give you the tools to really improve your literary analysis and your writing.

She is very enthusiastic and insightful, That being said she is a fairly harsh grader and you will study poetry from september till April. Was not expecting this much poetry and its been a nightmare. My friend is also in 1200 and his prof barely touched poetry. Must remember 60 poems by heart for exam and write essays, much harder than other profs.
