Winter 2024 - I truthfully cannot foresee myself ever having a professor that I respect as much as Professor DeLoughrey. She is so passionate about her work and cares so deeply for her students. If you speak to her one on one about an essay she will express to you how genuinely excited she is to read your work. The quarter consists of students teaching each class in partners or groups. Rather than sitting in a corner grading you like most professors I've had, she is actively engaged along with the class, writing your best ideas on the board so that she can discuss them further. I would take every course she teaches if I could. Please take a class with her! Only note - she has a sort of “anti-grading” philosophy- but if you email her about your grade she’ll tell you how you’re doing, she just might take a little while to get back to you.
