Comment:
Apter hates hates HATES anyone else's opinion but her own. After the second week of class when I had a public debate with her about an interpretation, I'm fairly certain she decided she hated me. The only way to pass her class is to give her what she wants: spit back her opinion. Oh, and be prepared for her singing. She is...different.

I did not like this teacher, I tried on numerous accounts to meet with her and discuss options but she had no time for me. I didn't like how she graded down opinions and how she overall didn't seem to care about a lot of things. Very hard to follow, and very 'out there'...

She is the worst teacher ever! She does not listen to anything you have to say and she marks you wrong for your opinion. If you don't kiss her ass in class she will fail you

Comment:
It's a standard literature class: whether or not you read the material, just attend class and hang onto everything she says. I heard students complain because they didn't agree with her interpretations, but those interpretations happen to be the easiest to justify in an essay. Personally, I enjoyed her teaching, and would highly recommend her.

Comment:
Had Ronnie for Masterpieces of European Lit. We read such long books (Dante's Divine Comedy, some plays and WAR AND PEACE!!!) Also she has discussions where you come up in front of the class and are supposed to wow her with your observations. You are graded on how good your observations are. How do you impress the lady who translated the play?

I don't understand what everyone on here is talking about, really... I barely ever went to class, wrote every assignment the night before it was due, and still got an A-. All these people complaining that she's a hard grader, you shouldn't be able to pass a 300 level ENG - or GRADUATE - class if you can't write a coherent essay. Wise up.

Ronnie is extremely interesting to have as a teacher, but is a grading Nazi. I am an English major with a 3.5 GPA, and she gave me a D on a paper which was half my grade. I had to withdraw

Comment:
Ronnie is an intersting person and a very knowledgable professor. She is genuinely intersted in teaching her students, but she lacks the ability to fully empathaize with her undergrads. Unless you think and speak in perfect written English and have a natural talent for understanding theme, it's very easy to find her grading more than a bit daunting

This class is for English Majors. If you are not an English major, DON'T TAKE DR. APTER'S CLASS!! Her final exam will ruin your final grade. I took her and I got a C, which ruined my chances of making the Dean's List! I was so close but oh, I'm quite upset about this. If you are an English Major, go ahead. You'll be the only ones to do well.

She is definitly a great teacher. She really knows what she is talking about. But if you are not an English major, don't expect above a C on your exams, which are essays. She grades them like she expects you are at a 500 level who has only taken English classes for your entire college career. Fun class, but her grading ruined it for me.

Ronnie's odd but very, very smart and focused and, well, charming in her own way. I like her.

Ronnie was amazing and I loved every second of her classes. I especially loved her usage of music, espeically opera, in her lectures! She truly loves and knows what she's talking about. I'm a better student for taking her classes.

Comment:
I definitely love Shakespeare- and I really liked that she showed movies of the plays we read but when it came to assignments she was very unclear. I honestly believe I would have gotten a higher grade if her grading system was actually precise based on a rating scale and not based on personal opinions. She can be nice but I wouldn't take her again

Horrible. Don't take her if you don't have to. She's very unclear and her grading makes no sense. You spend most classes watching movies and then doing pointless assignments that she grades completely randomly.

Comment:
This was the WORST class I have ever taken. You can't hear what she is saying in class because she mumbles and is quiet. She goes off on random tangents, makes you sit on a stupid discussion panel in the front of class (very uncomfortable) and the class is RIDICULOUS! I'm an eng major and she is the worst eng professor I've ever had! Avoid her!!!

As a junior with 70 credits I had a 4.0 GPA before I took this class. I got a B- but only because I worked extremely hard to get that grade. If you don't constantly talk about Shakespeare, she won't give you a good grade. MY class started with 35 students and we only had 12 left on exam day! If that doesn't tell you anything, I wish you luck!
