Comment:
I had this professor back in 1992. In fact, it was the first university class I stepped into in my life. Because of her I developed a lifelong love of T.S. Eliot. It is a small thing, you may think, to learn to love one poet. But my mind was opened because of her and I will always be grateful.

Very intelligent women! I always hated english in the past, but by taking her english class, I've grown to love poetry and literature. The students above don't know what their talking about.

Comment:
I was very disappointed with this class. There were some interesting assignments in first time. However, we spent most of our time peer-editing and the rest talking aimlessly about the course schedule and web ct. I expected to learn about the craft of writing. Instead, I got a disorganized session of editing for over $600.

First off I would like to say this is the worst class I have ever taken. Uma is sooooooooo boring I almost died each class. She tried to incorporate religion into everything. I am sure she was a great teacher at one point..but honey it's time to retire. She is nice but I have to honestly say I hated hated hated everything about this class.

This woman is a very nice person but a skatter brain, there is no structure whatsoever to her lessons and she even confuses her self from time to time. If you want a class to sleep in take this.

Uma rocks. I have taken several of her classes and plan to take more in the future. If you're looking for an easy ride and to be spoon fed then she is not your prof. SHe will make you read work pay attention and think. These are qualities which all good professors shold have.

Rambling prof but obviously loves what she teaches. Important to actually pay attention in class and you'll do great. She actually wants you to be interested in your topics. Not a slacking class.

Very unclear, bit of a scatterbrain, syllabus is very unclear, isn't clear about assignments (and they tend to be fairly strange assignments ie. journal, group discussion notes). I don't recommend taking a course with her.

I found that if you actually pay attention in class instead of lacking the attention span of a two year old you will find that she is very clear about her assignments. She also comes to class dressed in style very beautiful. shes not your typical boring english professor

Very unclear, rambles, forgets to tell you about assignments, doesn't answer questions satisfactorily, and doesn't consider any opinions that are different than her own. Your own points of views do not exist in this class. So, get ready to regurgitate your notes.

Alternate Lit. (Sci-Fi Fiction) Good ideas, likes what she teaches, but a bit of a scatterbrain. She's not clear about assignments - forgets to tell you about them, doesn't explain clearly what she wants, etc. Fair marker. Not that approachable.

Bores you to death with her rambling and pathetic anecdotes. Makes you wish you didn't declare English as a major in the first place.
