Spring 2019 - I am a South Campus major and took this class as a GE. I have never really took interest or appreciated American Literature until I took this class! Professor Hyde definitely knows her stuff and is VERY PASSIONATE about not only what the class curriculum means to her, but what it means to her students. She is very flexible with the readings and treats the class as colleagues where she encourages the class to help structure some aspects of the syllabus and is very understanding of our student lives outside the classroom so during finals or midterms she is willing to restructure some of the more demanding assignments. Weekly responses on readings are doable and she leaves room for busy schedules. Biggest grade is the final paper, but no need to worry-- the grade is broken down into outline, peer-review, and final paper--of which is all worked on within the quarter so you can save the night-before essay for another class ! Overall, great class and would take again!

Spring 2019 - I am currently taking "Reading Citizenship" with Dr. Hyde. I ended up taking this class because it lined up with the rest of my schedule and I wasn't even that excited to be taking this class. One session in and I was already sooooo intrigued. I was disappointed that there was a no screen policy in this class, however, I can confidently say that the annoying unanimous typing sound would have only been distracting from the amazing lectures that this professor gives. Soon enough I switched over from google docs and kindle to pen and paper and paperbacks. Dr. Hyde is clearly ~very~ passionate about this topic and that makes her class worth taking. There are weekly readings and online discussion forums and the workload is rather heavy however she makes up for it with extremely well prepared and well-organized lectures. Her material is always up to date, she even includes student notes and from the online discussions which were posted the day before, so you know she really does care about the student thoughts. I have a great amount of respect for Dr. Hyde, 4 class meetings in and I am already in love with early American literature and the history associated with it.
