Comment:
Avoid her like the bubonic plague, to say that her class is difficult is an understatement, for a first year class to have an average of 1.3 instead of 2.6 there is something seriously wrong with the prof. She expected this class to be only one of three classes for the semester, and she expected way too much work out of us as students.

Comment:
Terrible!!! Changed the syllabus last week of clases, embarrasses students daily, shall I go on? Seriously, for a 100 level course, she is not fit. Maybe a grad class? My class was convinced she was a witch. Started the semester with 40 kids, by the end half the class decided to withdraw, and I should've too.

Comment:
Course expectations were not clear. She kept adding more assignments and papers to the course. Guidelines for papers and her expectations were unclear, she kept changing her mind. For a first year english course she english course she expected students to create completely original thesis. Midterm and Final all written. Must attend class to pass!

This woman is absolutely incredible when it comes to helping you out. Her interest in her students is out of this world. Is she demanding? YES. Is it worth it? MORE THAN I CAN EXPRESS. Just do it. seriously. Just take a class. It's one hell of a ride

She's awesome and will bend over backwards for her students if you show that you care as much as she does. She's rough. She will push you to do the best you can do, but you'll only be bettr because of it. Show up, show you care, and take an active interest in the subject. You will not regret taking any class with her.

Comment:
Constructive criticism doesn't exist, just criticism. Didn't do anything but insult my writing; no useful tips on how to improve. Assigns large amounts of reading as though her class is the only one you are taking. Fun to talk with in class discussions though, amusing in class and then shocks you will difficult marking and rude comments on papers.

Awful prof. Has no problem squashing any self-esteem you have. Very unprofessional, picks on people in class. Class participation is a big part of class, but she has no problem cutting you down. Don't take this class if you want to enjoy yourself in it.

Kirsten is helpful and very informative. I have enjoyed her trying to help improve my writing. I don't know about the rest of you, but I learn from past mistakes. Her office hours are there for us to get help and sometimes just to visit and reduce stress. Work hard and you will get a good grade.

This is a hard class. Kirsten said unprofessional and humiliating things to me and my classmates. Although I will admit that my writing improved because of all her extremely blunt criticism. If you aren't willing to put LOTS of time and effort into English, do not take this class.
