European Literature I Evaluations

Spring 1996

1. Professor Arn is one of the best English professors any student could have. She provokes thought and shows understanding when you have any problems. She is a very good teacher, reviewing the material thoroughly before we're tested on it, and if you have any problems at all with anything, she encourages us to share them with her, and she always does her best to help. She cares about her students.

2. Before I took this class I heard that Dr. Arn was a very tough instructor. Usually, to me, that means impossible to work with besides being a hard grader. Dr. Arn has been an exception to this rule. She is very easy to talk to and is very helpful whenever help is needed. She is one of the highest quality instructors I have met on this campus or anywhere for that matter.
She's a great motivator; that can be hard to do for those who have no motivation at all.

4. Dr. Arn is in all honesty the most helpful prof. I have had. Her knowledge of the subject matter as well as wisdom that she has synthesized is endless and most enjoyable to listen to during lectures. Very difficult grading, but that is what Bloomsburg needs if they want to advance academically. Prof. Arn has given me very much inspiration!

5. While I enjoyed the literature, the required reading and writing were often too much to handle along with my other classes. Dr. Arn often expects too much of her students.

6. I enjoyed the material we read. The teacher was very knowledgeable on the subjects we studied.

7. Dr. Arn is a great prof. She can hold the interest of the class and make things so much easier to understand. She is very demanding, and it makes us work harder. I enjoy her classes.

8. I've learned a lot from Dr. Arn. She is a great professor and always has time to explain things and is always willing to help. I really enjoyed having her as a professor.

9. There is no doubt in my mind that Dr. Arn knows exactly what she's talking about. I haven't had a professor that was as well read as she is. Although I found her intimidating at times and probably did not do too well in the class, Dr. Arn is definitely the best and most intelligent teacher I have had.

10. I found this course [was] very helpful & caused me to think. The instructor stressed the importance of understanding a piece of literature's background. Two thumbs up.

11. The only comment I have aside from my ScanTron(tm) sheet is that I went out and bought different works by the authors with whom we dealt under my own free will. That's amazing.

12. Some of your comments, especially on the papers, were hard to take as "constructive."
For example: "Big Deal" "So what."
You also seem to talk down to your students, which discourages, at least me, from participating at times.
