"Professor Bergoffen is a really great professor who gives amazing feedback on the numerous writing assignments in this course. This course is writing and reading heavy. While I did love all the field trips and most of the reading, I think the structure of the course wasn't for me. My main issue was that I didn't find the discussions to be particularly engaging. I would definitely take another course with Professor Bergoffen and would highly reccomend her, this course was just not terribly interesting to me. "
