The sweetest professor with a clear love for what she teaches. Essays are graded fairly and with positive feedback as well as criticism. Incredibly understanding about circumstances outside of class, and I genuinely enjoyed coming to class each day. Highly recommend both her as a professor and her early texts and contexts class.

Best professor I've had at WashU. She is so caring, funny, and kind - I genuinely looked forward to class. Generally has high expectations on papers, but as long as you meet with her and discuss your thesis and ideas, you should do well.

Absolutely love Dr. Pawl. She is the sweetest prof I've had at WashU, she genuinely cares and is incredibly knowledgeable about the material, and I cannot wait to take more classes with her in the future!

She is one of the best professors I have had at WashU and I would recommend her class to anyone. She is clearly very passionate about her work and her students and takes time to get to know each student individually. I was scared about taking a writing intensive, but she was very helpful and made it easy for me to excel. I couldn't say one negative

Not only is the class easy and interesting, Dr. Pawl is the kindest woman I have ever met. She genuinely cares so much about her students. Definitely recommend going to office hours to get clear advice on how to proceed and get a good grade, but also to get to know her. Truly an amazing professor, everyone at WashU should take her class!

Dr. Pawl was amazing! The reading assignments are manageable and class is entirely discussion-based, but she moves through topics very well and makes English Literature really enjoyable, even if you aren't necessarily interested in all of the texts. Her feedback on papers is extremely thorough. Even if you're not an English major, take her class

austen class ! was really incredible. she has so much excitement and interest for the subject and for students' opinions and she is, for the jane austen class at least, so So knowledgeable not just about the novels and the author but also about the time period and the literary/social/etc context in which the novels were written... 10/10
