Comment:
Absolutely brilliant professor. Readings are dense but not as much as other classes. Semi-harsh grader but gives very helpful feedback on essays. The bad reviews here are misleading. Her intensity comes from understanding the intricacies of renaissance literature and her desire to share that excitement. Syllabus was changed but only to discuss more

Terrible professor. Scattered-brained, unorganized, very moody. Changed syllabus countless times. Brought her own negative emotions to class and leaked on students. A talker (1h nonstop) and very self-centered. Does not like to listen. Avoid at all cost if you don't want to be yelled at. ps: she might also slap her table at u while yelling.

Comment:
Would recommend English and non-English majors to take one class with her. She is nice, well-spoken, funny, and gives interesting lectures. If you do the readings (Which are not difficult) and give good effort for essays, you will do well. Enjoyed my time in her class as a budding English major.

I really like Haber! The class was pretty small but she really got to know the students, and was really good about listening to everyone. She's a pretty reasonable grader and is reasonable with giving extensions. Furthermore she is incredibly understanding when it comes to missed classes as long as you email in advance.

Comment:
I wasn't sure about renaissance lit, but Professor Haber made it comprehensible. She gives detailed feedback on essays and gets excited during lectures. She doesn't just talk, she asks students what they think, and most of the time she's receptive to new ideas. If you come to class, take notes, and show an interest, she wants you to succeed.

She's dedicated and extremely intelligent. Initially she comes off as very intense. Over time you will discover that her passion comes from a deeply rooted understanding of the material. She will occasionally call people out, but she cares about her students and her class is fun at the end of the day. Plus, the reading is really interesting.

She really knows her stuff, though she can be pretty intimidating. If you get past that though, you see she's quite nice and really wants you to do well.

I am guessing the comment below arose from a misunderstanding. She is one of the nicest professors I've ever had--always eager to help students, will spend HOURS talking in her office with you (really)! Plus, she's really smart and interesting. Love her!

I very much appreciate her enthusiasm & she makes Renaissance lit very comprehensible. On the other hand, she's made me cry twice. She singled me out in class as not having done an assignment, even though I did, and if you're not an avid participant you can tell she doesn't think highly of you. A so-so teacher overall.

This is a very difficult, reading intesive class. The readings are not for the faint of heart. That being said, she definitely succeeds at leading fascinating discussions about very dense course material, much denser than any Shakespeare. She encourages and often requires active participation and always tries to keep everyone's comments in mind.

Comment:
I was extremely disappointed by this class. Haber is intense but her lectures were uninteresting. Seemed to miss the point on why we still read Shakespeare. If you think the only reason to study Shakespeare is to search for phallic symbols and talk about sexuality, then this is the class for you.

decent class with dull material, but haber is aloof, stomping around the room and making ridiculous claims about imbedded pseudosexual inferences. only wants to hear her own ideas repeated.

Prof Haber is always full of energy and very enthusiastic...plus she is personable. there are only a few papers, and the reading assignments are generally not bad. the material is not always the best, but she makes most of it at least bearable. the final sucks, but it's not as bad as it could be.

An awesome professor with lots of passion -- if you're not interested in the topic, her ethusiasm and talent are wasted on you,go get cliff notes or something. my only gripe is if sitting next to her in a SMALL classroom, watch out for those flying elbows.

a great prof who knows her stuff - if ever overwhelmed in class, stop listening to all sound for one minute and just stare at haber's body expressions - its quite amusing
