She is pretty helpful. If you don't understand something she will always make time to see you. She is a little bit of an odd character but is really nice.

She was a tough grader and admitted it but she was always more than willing to help me if I needed it. She answered all my questions and gave me feed back on my assignments strengths and weaknesses when I would talk to her. Overall she was tough but fair and I found her to be very helpful.

Comment:
Extremely boring classes, hard to stay awake, gets off topic sometimes, brutal marker and she admits it. She does not believe in giving A's to students and tells us that at the end of the course, if you are looking to improve your mark, avoid this class! Take a class with her if you just need a credit. Hardest prof in my 3 years at the UofW

Superb professor - enthusiastic, incredibly well prepared and always interesting. This is a tough class (especially for 2nd year, but well worth it. There is a a fair bit of work required and marking is tough but fair.

Comment:
Kathleen really is a fabulous teacher. However, this class turned out to be a little dry with circular discussions. We focused on historical fiction and "turning history into art." Also, the way assignments are set up, it felt like two classes: private project and seminars as usual. Not very organic. But Kathleen's great!

Kathleen is absolutely phenomenal! I loved being in her class. It's my first year and I very much look forward to being in her future classes. She is a tough marker and expects a lot from her students, but she will help you and give you every opportunity to succeed in her class. Phenomenal professor!

Kathleen is inspiring. She is a professor because she wants to teach. She is enthusiastic, supportive, theatrical and blindingly intelligent. She expects you to work because she sure as hell does.

Makes you feel as though what you say is valid. Is truly interested in what her students say. Never lets her opinion be known, allows for challenging viewpoints. Is a very tough marker, though, make sure you are well prepared.
