Comment:
Dr. Vickroy is an EXCELLENT professor, and she is an expert in her subject matter. She told us that her goal in 270 is to prepare us to apply literary criticism outside of her class and beyond, and in that regard, she has been very successful. I use information I learned in her class almost daily, and her class has enriched my love for literature!

Professor Vickroy encourages participation. If you don't participate she does deduct points. There are multiple papers throughout the semester but they aren't too hard. She is very helpful and is always available if you need help.

I absolutely adore Vickroy. No professor has ever pushed me to read and understand as much as she has. I ended up loving this class because she fosters great group discussions and gives out really interesting and stimulating reading suggestions. Don't be fooled by the 200 level code for this class-- you'll work your butt off, but you'll gain a lot.

Comment:
She is a very inconsistent grader. Group work every Thursday and always a different grade. I had an A all semester until the end when she put in participation. The majority of the class got a bad grade on participation even though we all talked in class. Would not recommend. worked too hard to get a B in the class. brought down my GPA.

Laurie Vickroy is a sweet lady and is willing to help you if needed. However, for a human values GenEd, a lot is expected out of you. You are required to read hundreds of pages each week from books that are not interesting. Also, she is not an easy going grader. I wish I took a different human values GenEd.

Comment:
She's a very nice lady, but always picks confusing books and expects us to be able to read 100 or more pages before class. It's very time consuming. She also tries to make class as long as possible even if there's nothing else to talk about. Class is mandatory because you get 15 points for Tuesday's and 25 points for group work on Thursdays

Comment:
She's very sweet and tries really hard to make sure that her students understand the material. She can rely a bit heavily on the textbook, but her group work helps you see where stand with the material based on how well you understand the question your group received. She does give out the final paper late though so watch that!

Comment:
By far the best teacher I've had in my 3 years at Bradley. She is easy going and picks the most interesting novels for class. I always look for her no matter the class she's teaching. I strongly recommend her! Unless you really mess up an assignment, you'll get an A-- very easy grading. Vickroy is the nicest person and a great teacher.

She is the sweetest professor ever, but her lectures are completely boring. They are painful to sit through. Other than that, some of the readings in the class are actually quite interesting.

Comment:
She taught my Literary Criticism and Theory class. Overall the tests were easy if you read the book and studied the terms. Her teaching style is a little disorganized and she trips up her words a lot when she is lecturing. The whole class was semi boring but it's literary theory so I wasn't expecting too much.

Dr. Vickroy is a really nice person although sometimes her class can be a bit boring-and I'm an English major. She is extremely knowledgeable on her subject and is willing to help you if you need it. She grades fairly easy although I think she sometimes could pick more interesting books to read.

She is incredibly boring, means well. However, she seems to absloutly love making everyone fall asleep and finding the stupidest things wrong with your papers. However, im sure she doesnt want to be teaching 300 as much as we dont want to be there.
