Comment:
Dr. Federico is such a sweet and caring person. She cares about her students a lot and all she wants to do is share her love of poetry with anyone she can. The class is fun and not too hard. Participation is highly encouraged to get the most out of the class, but Dr. Federico is super easy to talk to. I highly recommend this class and this prof!

Comment:
Professor Federico loves poetry and cares a lot about her students. There were only a couple of short essays and a project for the whole semester, and she is always happy to talk about poetry or assignments outside of class. She grades fairly as long as you put in effort. One of my favorite professors so far at JMU.

Dr. Federico is fantastic. She's passionate about poetry, interested in her student's opinions, and challenges you without making the class difficult to pass. She always leaves good feedback on your papers, and grades according to how hard you work. She values students who show up and participate.

Dr. Federico is one of the kindest and sweetest people ever. She really loves what she teaches and really loves and cares about her students. A lot of the class is group discussion but it is so good and so worth it. Showing up to class is genuinely a fun time and would recommend this class and this prof to anyone and everyone.

Comment:
Dr. Federico is great. A little strict, but friendly and knowledgeable. You either have to know what you read or be good at pretending. Two short papers, a partner presentation, a midterm and a final. Not bad at all. You need to bring the textbook with you to each class, which is a pain, but otherwise no complaints.

Comment:
Attendance isn't mandatory but she goes over the readings a lot in class and the notes you take are everything that's on the exams. The tests aren't too bad, mostly multiple choice and she drops the lowest. There's 3 short papers that she grades without a rubric, but if you go to her office hours she'll go over it with you. Not bad for a gen-ed!

Comment:
Professor Federico is very sweet & knowledgeable about the topics covered in class, but the class is difficult for someone who doesn't know a lot about literature especially for being a GenEd. There were three papers that there was no rubric for & never got handed back to us. Four exams but the lowest score will be dropped. She's also disorganized

One of my favorite courses, not because of the material but her! A super caring professor, always accessible to meet with you. I was not super interested in the course, but her lectures were extremely inspiring! I am a writing major and she definitely improved my writing! Not a difficult course but make the best of it!!

Professor Federico is a really sweet lady & she's willing to work with you & help you out if you go to her office hours. The readings & discussions could be tedious at times, but it was one of my more relaxing courses. I would take another course with her if I needed another English!

Comment:
I took her for ENG299 and she was easily my least favorite teacher that semester. Her class is so boring, and you basically just sit there and listen to your classmates' interpretations of literature. Terrible. You learn nothing in class, and the reading is so boring. Take a different class if you're in it for the reading.

Dr. Federico was an average prof, not too bad/not too great. Class was boring imo for the most part but some discussions were interesting. 4 papers, 1 presentation. If there's a better option I'd suggest that but this was honestly fine and she's very nice

I love Dr. Federico! I took her for an upper level English class and I just wish I had met her sooner. She's so genuinely sweet. A tough grader, but I sincerely loved going to her class. Participate and let yourself enjoy it. She's great

A lot of papers and reading. Dr. Federico is a nice person, but we didn't learn a lot about how to write, which was the point of the course. She also did not put in grades, even when the course ended, so I did not find out what I received on assignments, which was frustrating. Work hard and a B is an achievable grade.

OK listen. This class is not hard at all if you just show up and take notes on what she says. I never read any of the books, just summaries, and I will end up with a B. she drops your lowest test score. Just sit in the front and take notes and you'll be absolutely fine. You get out what you put in. Also, I loathe english and reading.

It's British Literature aka the class and readings are unbearably boring. Unless you're an english major please avoid this class.

This class is pretty difficult. You have to read A LOT which is to be expected but sucks. The grading criteria for the 2 extremely short papers you write are clear. The papers are really easy so don't freak out over them. You will definetly get the grade you work for though.

Comment:
This was my second class with Federico. She is a great teacher, but she does a lot better with a smaller class size. I would not recommend to take her in a big lecture she can get a little off track and boring. She is a sweet lady though and really cares about the students. If you have a chance to take her smaller class I recommend it!

She is a great professor who gives great lectures. The class is easy, but the tests are on material that she talks about in class, so you have to go, pay attention, and take notes. Study notes before the test, write the paper the day it's due, you'll still get an A.

Dr. Federico is the sweetest lady. Everything on the tests come from her lectures, so as long as you read and go to class, the tests are pretty straightforward. One test out of the four is dropped and there are 3 short papers. 10/10 would recommend her class.
