Good

Prof. O’Connor makes the papers hard but he really has a clear grading criteria and he is a good prof. You have to be updated on the readings because there are weekly responses and you have to show up in class because attendance is marked. Taking notes and going to class is essential for the midterm and final exams.

Professor O'Connor was very nice, but the required readings were just too difficult. Very nice professor that game me a sentence that summarized the paragraphs, super helpful. She does grade very hard however, so you need to put in a lot of work.

Average

Professor O'Connor was sweet and caring. However, there was quite a lot of work assigned. Readings were done for every class. So, make sure you purchase the required texts. I had none, but somehow managed to get B+. The class average was at a B always. She explains how you must go beyond the expected criteria to get an A, which I found slightly unfair. Hope this review will help.
