(**I took Drama 1104 Shakespeare- it won't let me enter it) Dr. Sommers is wonderful! She cares a lot about her students and getting personal with them. She was by far my favorite professor this semester. She's always down to yap about Shakespeare with me, which I absolutely loved.

Dr. Sommers is the BEST professor ever. She's so fun and engaging, cares a lot about her students, and has very realistic expectations. Class discussions are always vibrant and entertaining, she makes old texts interesting and relates them to modern culture/a younger audience. Just get your papers in on time, be clear and original, and you'll do just fine.

Dr. Sommers is an amazing professor. I have taken two classes with her and loved them both - she always finds a way to make dense material fun and engaging and she is super approachable. Definitely take a class with her!

Dr. Sommers is incredibly passionate about what she teaches and goes above and beyond to care for her students. She has fantastic ratings from all her university positions for a reason. Her feedback and grading are clear, and discussions feel lighthearted and enjoyable. I'd take another class with her in a heartbeat!

The words I have for this woman are invariably good! Dr. Sommers is an amazing professor who really does care about her students. Her classes are so interesting and disscussion is mandatory, but as long as you have done the readings you'll be fine. Assignments are relatively easy as well! For reference I had her for an Ampersand program.

Dr. Sommers is such a lovely person who is so passionate about literature! Her Shakespeare class was super enjoyable and she brought kindness and humor to class discussions. She genuinely cares about her students and will meet with you to discuss essays. If you are going to take a Shakespeare class, take it with Sommers.

Super sweet, lovely person. Her lectures were not the most engaging I have ever had, but she also didn't grade too harshly and was pretty accommodating whenever I needed something. Passionate about her subject!
