    Quarter Taken: Spring 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    I was honestly not looking forward to this class, but I was pleasantly surprised. Professor Weaver is definitely the best Professor for this class because she is passionate about the material and makes it interesting even when readings are very dense. The TAs are also very good, and I really enjoyed our section discussions. We wrote 2 short responses, 2 close-reading papers, and 1 final curatorial statement. Even through this seems like a lot, I appreciated that we had multiple chances to improve as writers. The teaching team is also very lenient about deadlines, which makes the class less stressful. English majors have no fear if you are taking 10A with Weaver!
