When I signed up for this course, it said Kristal/Feldman, but I never met Kristal. The class was taught solely by his TA, Leah Feldman. She was great; very approachable and really concerned about student learning. I had a lot of difficulty understanding what she wanted out of our writing, and she took the time to explain all of the most basic topics with me until I fully understood them, even stuff like what a proper thesis is and what a topic sentence is. She's extremely patient about stuff like that, and she also believed that everybody's opinion matters which was really nice. I was pretty intimidated taking this class, as I was one of the few freshman, but I enjoyed it. We read five books, and the class was fairly fast paced. Our grades were 20% participation, 10% a class presentation, 10% midterm, 15% for the first paper, 20% for the second paper, and 25% for the final paper. The first paper was graded pretty easy, but the others were harder. The midterm was easy, and the presentation was as well. Attendance was mandatory, which sort of sucked. I got a B+ in the class, which I'm happy about, being a south campus major and a pretty shitty writer. I really liked this class, and I think Feldman is a good teacher. I definitely recommend it.

All complit 4 classes are taught and directed by the TA completely. Michelle Lee is a very hard TA compared to other infamously easy TAs. I don't think many people got an A....a shame because most people are science majors looking for an easy A. But she is not that unfair and she does spend alot of time for her students. She is very pleasant, but you will hate the difficulty of her....
