Previous Anonymous Student Evaluations

“I am very glad to have taken this class. Tove has always been a sunshine to see every week and she has gone above and beyond to teach and help her students. Her love for English and her student is tangible and she honestly deserves the world.”

“Pretty much everything Tove did in this discussion section was perfect for learning. I loved that she sent out our discussion prompts prior to class so we all could prepare. We also had read aloud often, saw outside media that related to discussion (paintings, poems, videos)."

“Tove was very clear in explaining what she expected from us in class and our essays. If there was a problems with essays she found multiple times she would address it in class and help us understand and work on what we need. Also every morning she would greet us with music, coffee, and a smile and it made coming to class so much more enjoyable.”

"Wow. Thank [you] for helping me to better understand the power of persuasion in our lives…and for [bettering] my writing, speaking, and analysis.”

“I greatly enjoyed this class…everyday was something different and I looked forward to the mini field trips we went on to see rhetoric in person throughout Iowa.”

“The best instructor that I had during my first semester at Iowa…I am not usually one to like english classes…but she made it such an amazing environment to be in and is one the kindest people I have ever met. A "long" two hours with her felt like minutes…She also made sure to always be available for her students and explained things very well.”
