Comment:

The fact that this teacher even has a 3.8 is so concerning. DO NOT LISTEN!!! Me and my ENTIRE class this semester can PROMISE you that this is by very far the worst teacher you will EVER have. She retired last year and then decided to come back and she definitely should not have. She seems sweet at first but she is literally completely out of it!!!

Comment:

Do not take her online class!!! Provides lengthy descriptions the are still very unclear. Will delete post if she feels your point has already been discussed. Her opinions are the only opinions that matter. Does not suggest to go to the Academic Support Center which I found disappointing. If you don't suck up to her, you won't get anywhere.

Solid professor. A bit confusing at times, but goes out of her way to help you understand and is always available to meet with. She doesn't give out long readings, its mostly short stories, poems, etc. She is very flexible with due dates and allows you to revise anything. Work load is fair, not too much. I'd consider taking her again.

This professor is infuriating-She sends email and feedback that makes no sense and barely responds to emails. Her instructions/expectations for assignments is so vague you could write a math paper with her description-DO NOT TAKE THIS WOMAN'S COURSES!

Very disappointed. Vague in explaining, directions unclear, no structure, does not return phone calls or emails. Difficult class online. This course needs to be taught in a classroom. I had to withdrawal.

Comment:

Very difficult course, she is very very specific about what she wants on a essay, however If you take a few days to meet her after class, she will sit down with you and write the essay with you, very very helpful. She cares a whole lot about the students and will meet you on pretty much anyway that works for you

Comment:

I love English class, usually. However,her directions were always VERY unclear and there was absolutely no structure to the class. If you're used to structured English classes with deadlines etc., I highly recommend you do not take her as a professor. Definitely a sweet lady, but not a good teacher.

Comment:

She is by far the worst teacher I have had at RV. She does not explain anything. She just expects you to read her mind to know what she is thinking, and what she wants from you. She is very vague in explaining anything. Her due dates are different everywhere you look. She does not email you back. DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE. SHE IS HORRIBLE.

Comment:

AWFUL ONLINE TEACHER!!! All the instructions were confusing, and for essays she'd have 4 different descriptions of what she wanted. NEVER put grades up. Due dates were all over the place. She may be a good residential teacher but DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE!! I regret it and so will you!!!!!

I have taken Prof Bodino for numerous classes. Not only does she make the class interesting and fun, bt she is also available at anytime you need help. Prof.Bodino even gives student er home numbe so they can reach out if they need help. She is always available and is flexible wth assignmen due dates. One of the best professors I have ever had.

Comment:

The best, Ms. Bodino has to be the best Eng II teacher. She's conservative in your point of view and also about mother earth, she's much of going green lady which is really carrying and she's never mean. If you talk to her, she will understand your issue also she helps you out with anything. I truly recommend Ms. Bodino if you hate Eng like me.

Comment:

Dr. Bodino was EXTREMELY helpful and I would HIGHLY recommend taking her class. She is a little difficult as far as grading, but is so available to students for help that if you utilize her for this, you will have no problem doing well with her. She is an awesome teacher once you get to know her and has the kindest heart.

Comment:

I think if it wasn't for the teachers union Governor Christie would have this type of professor fired due to the fact she can't communicate well with other students. To the person below me: It's not entirely the students fault, it is also the professor. Plenty of students can pass her course and dislike the way she teaches or communicates.

What really disappointed me about this professor while I had her, she never once suggested to any of the students to go to the academic support center. Her expectations are high and she expects you to know what she wants and not have to tell you.

Comment:

This class American Lit Before Civil War was extrememly complex with the different time periods and views of cultural themes. Interesting if you like History. A lot of writing. She gave many opportunities to redo papers if the grade was not satisfactory.She was more than fair.

Anytime I tried to participate in class she would always try to make it seem like I was always wrong and she was always right. I feel in order to pass her class you seriously got to brown nose her. She was hard to understand. It's like her and I both speak English but I wasn't able to understand her. She expects you to understand her secret languag

Comment:

She is a very bad professor. Her expectations are high, she is very vague with her instructions, and she simply isn't clear with what she wants. I'm not the only one who felt this way. Sometimes she gives out too many instructions and you don't know how to layer out in the essays she assigns. You won't pass unless you do it with her in front of you

She is an amazing woman. At times she is hard to understand, but she's willing to help you understand. She even give out her home number! I got Mono before finals and she gave me an extension for the final no questions asked. It was a good amount of work but I got a lot out of the class. Had her for both English I and II.

Comment:

No doubt she's a nice lady, but I would rather shoot myself than take this woman again. A complete waste of time, I mean it. I had her for World Lit online and she didn't count my discussions because they were the same opinion as someone else who happened to post before me. I get good grades and I judge honestly; I'm warning you... don't take her.
