Fall 2023 - Professor Deutsch is very sweet and passionate about Jonathan Swift. I liked her assignments, and she offered great suggestions during office hours. The Norton was under $40, although spending any amount of money in this economy is not ideal! Swift is a force of nature, and reading him was quite difficult for me. I wish we honestly read some of the texts with more detail, and I felt by assigning so much reading, there was simply too much to talk about and hard to be organized. But overall, I never felt that lectures were ever inaccessible and there's lots of interesting content to mull about, even if not all of it is enthralling. This class is definitely for lovers of satire and all things 18th century. I think some of the smartest English majors I have ever met enrolled in this class, so that's always a plus.

Summer 2019 - I have nothing bad to say about this professor. Apart from sort of harsh grading, all other aspects of her teaching are amazing. To be honest, I am proud of achieving an A-, in the course she makes individuals work pretty hard for their grades. She helps academically and in regards to your personal life. I believe she has left academia, but a great English professor nonetheless-- she actually helped me reach the conclusion of possibly pursuing the career path.
