She's an amazing professor. She really lives up to the hype! You have 4 papers that you have to submit before the end of the semester (you work on drafts during the semester) and your grade is also affected by weekly discussion posts (not very time-consuming at all) as well as participation. Fair grader, you def have to put in work to get an A

I had Professor Talusan for English 2: Asian American Perspectives. Super caring, passionate, and knowledgeable professor. Four papers, emphasis on revisions. Writing exercises at the beginning of each class. Lots of discussion; often based in identity and experience. Very understanding if you need to miss a class. Highly recommend taking her class

Prof Talusan is a kind, caring professor who wants to see you succeed in writing. I find writing difficult, but her approach made writing much easier for me. The way she structures her class (no papers graded until the final exam period) encourages you to make multiple revisions and meeting with her to discuss revisions is simple and beneficial.

Professor Talusan really cares about your writing and helping you improve. It's a little difficult to get an A- or even an A, but going to office hours is really helpful. The readings are interesting, rather short, and not difficult. Outside of class she is a great person to have for recommendations if you have formed a relationship with her.

Prof Talusan cares very much about the process of writing. She takes the time to meet with you and offers you meaningful feedback. I personally am not much of a writer, but her assignments were interesting (and not too long). She's a wonderful person and I definitely recommend taking her for Eng 1 or 2.

She's one of the kindest I've had so far. I had her for both Eng 1 and 2 (Asian American perspectives) and I've seen my writing skills grow and strengthen. She is very willing to see youoffer input on how your assignment is coming along. The essays are due at the end of the semester, and she has soft draft deadlines along the way. She's the best!

Professor Talusan is a wonderful human being. She gives amazing feedback on all your papers, is flexible with deadlines, and doesn't assign too much homework. In class discussions were always really interesting. She's inspired me to be a better writer and even submit to publications. Please take a class with her, you won't regret it all!

Assignments took no time at all and were usually very interesting. She set up good discussions, picked up on what topics students were more engaged in, was very helpful, and gave great support and feedback. I left that class feeling more confident and prepared to write, and I wish I could take her class again for English 002. Phenomenal professor.

Class was in the summer, the 3.5 hour block was hard to get through. Grace is super nice, but often seems disorganized with such a big time block for class. Discussions were lively and entire class was always engaged. Good atmosphere. Grace is super nice and rewards you if you show effort. One of the nicest professors at Tufts.

She is a great teacher, really kind and very go with the flow. If you take English 1 with her it's a great class, almost no work and she's really laid back. Take English with her if you want a blow off class that is very much bearable.

It wasn't until the end of the semester that I understood the goal of the class. She is very unclear about assignments, and each day's readings is totally unrelated to the next. The entire grade is based on the final essay, and she was very helpful and met with me outside of class. Overall I didn't really learn anything.

One of the best teachers i've had. She is passionate about the material, but open to all views, and continually provoked some of the best class discussions. An understanding, reasonable person. Her class inspired me to become an english major.
