Great teacher. She is a fair grader and actually tries to improve your writing. I wish she would diversify her in class readings though since every article we read was about women/feminism.

Great professor! I had her for British Literature. The class was A LOT of reading (5 novels and some short stories), but the pieces we read weren't that bad. Only 2 papers the whole semester, and she is very helpful if you have trouble writing the papers. Going to lectures is a must! There are quizzes on most of the pieces we read, but if you actually read the piece then the quizzes are pretty easy. Lecture can be a bit boring, but it really helps with understanding the text and preparing for the final. Overall, not a bad HL class.

The course itself is not particularly enjoyable, as it involves several papers and a pretty good amount of busy work, but Professor McHale is a pretty good professor! She's SUPER liberal, which I loved, but she openly admits it and she's never offensive about it. I felt that sometimes she beat a dead horse with a stick, and class drug on, but in general the class isn't too bad. The class is really interactive, and she's got a nerdy, fun sense of humor. But prepare to wait a longgg time to get your paper graded and returned to you. Engl101 is a hard course to get an A in because the university wants students to take Junior English, so she was a tough grader, but it's definitely possible to get an A.

Her class was my most enjoyable class this semester. She has a sense of humor which makes the class fun, but she expects students to work hard. The work load is not quite as fun as the class; however, all of the English101 classes are tough. She is not an easy grader though she is a fair grader.
