Comment:

Professor Grogan-Barone is very interesting. Not the most politically correct person I've ever met, but she genuinely cares about her students. The assignments kind of suck, but they're required for any ENGH 302 course. Might as well take it with her and try to enjoy it a little bit!

She is a tough grader, but gives good feedback. Expect a lot of homework. In the end all that hard work pays off. I would highly recommend her.

Comment:

She's a blast! She tells funny stories, is slightly sarcastic, and is a very sweet lady. I enjoyed her class thoroughly, and expect to ask her for a recommendation in the future. Her deadlines are so flexible - she hardly gives clear cut due dates. She gives good feedback on her papers. Class goes by extremely fast, we basically talk about the news

Stress-free class, with lots of interesting topics and discussions. She really cares for the students and gives plenty chances to do well. Assignments and grading can be vague, but show that you are putting the effort, and she will be there for help. I would take her class again.

Strangest class I have ever taken. We did not follow the syllabus and I am not sure how she grades.. We talked about absolutely nothing. It was a easy and interesting class but I do not feel I learned anything important to relevant.

She's been one of my best Professors at GMU. Mrs. Barone makes class fun and always entertaining by updating her students about the real world. She stimulates your mind by thinking -outside the box- and I had some issues with public speaking when doing a group project, but she personally helped me with that, and I now feel more confident.

Nice lady, easy class. I took it over the summer. Didn't learn a single thing though. She isn't very clear on assignments & kinda makes them up as she goes. The last couple weeks of class all we did was talk about the news, which was hardly a reason to come to class. Again, very nice woman, easy to get a good grade but waste of time & money IMHO.

AMAZING. She loves what she does as a teacher and wants her students to pass. She's unorganized but her witty nature makes up for it. EXTREMELY flexible about the due dates. best english class ever.

Comment:

Professor Barone is one of the most delightful Professors at GMU. She truly cares about her students and tries to help in any way she can. There are not many Professors like her. She engaged the class and taught with ease. Remember this is a writing course, so there is an abundant amount of writing, though it is not hard if you attend class.

She's awesome! The 50-page white paper seems daunting, but it's really not that bad. You'll learn a lot of things that are helpful in the real world. She's one of those professors you'll never forget!

Comment:

Had this professor for ENG 302 business. She is funny and the class flys by. The class seems hard but she makes it easy. Learn alot of life lessons in the course. There is a 50 page group white paper, but no final. She doesn't give out number grades and will give everyone an F on at least 1 assignment to mess with them. "Grades don't matter"

I love Prof. Barbara! Best teacher at Mason, hands down! A lot of writing in this class, but learned so much from her. She pretty much knows everyone in class, gets to know everyone, and is very understanding. I just love her!

Prof Grogan-Barone is amazing! She is one of the most helpful, caring teachers out there. Brings in real world knowledge. The Prince and Paranoia are EASY reads. The midterm and final papers are long, but not bad to get through. Get a good group for the final, and communicate with the professor. Do the work, and get an A. She wants you to succeed!

Not an easy A. it is easy to get an A in this class but you have to show up to almost every class and the semester project is pretty long. she is really nice and you will be fine if you get on her good side
