Professor Shapiro is definitely very accomodating and nice. However, this class is extremely boring and somewhat unfocused. I am still unsure about exactly what I learned from it. I took it primarily because it seemed like a fun way to get a CW- but I wish I did something more interesting instead. Only take this class if you can stand writing a handful of bland, 4 page writing assignments every couple weeks.

Overall, I really enjoyed taking this course with Professor Shapiro. She is an extremely kind and accommodating instructor whose passion for the subject matter is infectious. The assignments are not particularly difficult, especially since there's ample opportunity for you to revise your work if you're not happy with it; however, there's a reasonable amount of homework assigned in the first half of the course and there's a lot of grammatical concepts that are covered which can be a bit confusing if you haven't been formally taught grammar before. That being said, Professor Shapiro has a lot of office hours where you can get extra help if you need it.

Professor Shapiro is so personable. She teaches very well although she talks a bit fast so if u're slow you may have to catch up. Being in her class is like being in a pre-college classroom and I love it. Nothing is ever that serious. Easy A
