Not too bad. Weekly discussion post+reply, one midterm, one final, two written papers, and 1 creative project/presentation
Awesome professor. Professor Borgarello is extremely dedicated and passionate about this course. She truly cares about her students and is such an enjoyable person to talk to. Grading scheme is favorable, however, she does take quite a bit of time to grade assignments.
Great class. Enjoyed learning about these famous texts. Passionate teacher who enjoys the content. Great learning environment.

Loved her as a person. She was sweet and understanding. But there are better professors out there in terms of workload and grading.
Probably similar to other sections of LitHum. Participation is 15% of the grade. One or two response papers depending on the semester, 15% of the grade each. Midterm, final, and creative project also 15% of the grade. Weekly discussion posts are only 10%.
Super chill and laidback. Professor Borgarello is a very nice grader and is pretty funny in class. Most of the participation is done in smaller groups, which she takes into account. If no one wants to speak, she will fill the silence and continue asking questions until someone participates, so it's not as demanding or intimidating.
