Comment:
Dr. Rich is very kind and provides wonderful feedback to all her students concerning your papers. Discussion post and quiz every week. I had to rent 5 or 6 books for the class, and you will have to read them all to understand the material. There are no exams in the class because it focuses heavily on writing. High standards for student's writing!

A lot of reading for this class, but Dr. Rich is helpful in explaining concepts. Online group discussion posts twice a week, two analytical papers, a midterm and final that are challenging but grading is fair.

Dr. Rich is really passionate about her classes, and is very caring and respectful to students. There is a a lot of material to read, and the concepts can be difficult to grasp but Dr. Rich explains things in terms to understand. There is an analytical paper and research paper. She gives a lot of guidance for those if you're not comfortable.

Comment:
She quizzes almost every class based on the reading. Plus, she also requires you to post twice each week based on your reading. Miss a post, and major points get deducted! Read and set an alarm to post. Papers arent to bad. Exams are bad, for example, gives 150 terms to study and only tests on 25 of them. Her teaching style was not the easy

Dr. Rich is an extremely sweet woman. Her class was super tough, but it was very rewarding. The only negative feedback I have is that the reading assignments are completely unrealistic. She'll expect you to read half of a novel between Monday and Wednesday.

I didn't know what to expect going into a class on Native American literature, but it turned into my favorite class of my program so far. She cares, is easy to talk to, and excited about what we read.

Comment:
Rich teaches of dead lit movements. To bring up context and clarification has her stumbling around material she isn't even confident about explaining. She hasn't a clear course structure, nor does she care. If you want to actually write or attain skills, skip. If you want to not create a path for yourself and remain beige, enroll.

Won't be taking again. She's super nice but is really unclear on how she wants assignments done (terrible rubrics) and is a very tough grader. I liked the way she explained things, but on tests, quizzes, papers, and the online project, she is extremely particular on the wording you choose. Don't buy the writer handbook, only the others.

Fantastic Professor. A literary giant. Intensely critical, but totally reasonable and fair. Classes are not easy, but are more rewarding than any other class I've taken in my college career. YOU ARE LUCKY TO TAKE HER CLASSES, TAKE ADVANTAGE.

Dr. Rich is wonderful. The class is very difficult: two long papers, weekly VSpace posts, quizzes every class period, long exams, sometimes the lectures can get boring. But you do learn a good deal and she is one of the most dedicated professors at trying to get people to a good grade if you seek out help.

Rich is phenomenal. Without a doubt one of the best professors at the university. She will challenge you, but is fair in her assessments of your work. She loves open discussions, which makes her classes interesting and informative. Take her as often as possible before you graduate. You won't regret it.

LOVED this class. She was organized, and it is a lot of reading and some hard concepts, but she gives loads of notes online and spells everything out. Not easy but worth it.

Comment:
She honestly is a good professor who knows what she is talking about, but she does grade a bit harshly and the worse thing about her is she fails to communicate about assignments. She will wait a week before a paper is due (sometimes even 2 days) before the assignment is due before talking about the assignment in detail. Her quizzes are hard also

Rich is hard and you have to understand that she's not going to let you slide by. I really like her as a professor because she makes you work hard. Not an easy class, but she's worth taking for sure.

WORST ENGLISH PROF. She grades harshly and without explanation. She does not use a rubric for assignments, making it difficult to understand why she grades as she does. When I went to her office hours for help on a paper, she was not helpful. Her midterm exam included quote identifications (you must know author, text, speaker, etc). STAY AWAY

Dr. Rich's class has a very heavy workload, but it is an upper level English class. Contribute often and remember the online discussions, so you hit 25 pages. Be prepared to work but enjoy the readings.

Dr. Rich is smart and sweet. Sheâ??s willing to help if you ask. I agree with everyone saying that the class is not a blowoff, but if you do the work, youâ??ll be fine. This class is for people who really want to be majors or minors.
