Department: and ; seven years at UW.
Courses Taught: Comparative American Ethnic Literature, Survey

Achievements: Her extremely detailed and organized syllabi give
students a precise view of what they will learn and how they will go about
it. Her student evaluation scores are so high, they are the kind typically
earned by faculty teaching graduate courses, not by TAs teaching introductory
classes.

is warm yet demanding, insisting on their taking responsibility for learning,
and willing to help in whatever way she can to assist them."--American
Ethnic Studies Professor Johnnella E. Butler
