She prefered us to call her Shelby during class which i still had trouble with till today, but Professor Popham is a very helpful and thoughtful teacher. Our class got us prepared for writing our thesis paper at the very end. Although she does have many assignments she gives out along with reading notes and reflections after each class, the busy work is to get us writing constantly. The assignments you take home are vey useful later for other classes like apa formating and mla, annotated bibliographies and abstracts for thesis. She has very entertaining stories to tell in class that always make me laugh and inspired to write. I recommend Popham. You can revise as many times as you like and she always responds with either recommended or required revision. Great class, fun, and educational!
