Professor Fits is tough especially in the summer, but at the end you have learned how to be a better writer. She was honest when she looked at my writing and really made me work for my grade.

Every time, the essay's maximum is 88. I mean it. Not more than that. The Mean is around 50. After very hardworking, and you think still get B or C is fine. So you can take it. But no one gonna get A for this class. Remember, No one gonna be. If you want to take at summer section, got to be ready to clam yourselves down. Dont miss anyone lectures

Prof Fitzgerald is amazing! I learned a lot of new study methods to use for studying on tests and memorizing vocab! Extra credit is offered and she's hilarious, very interactive with students, and wants to make sure you're on track. Obviously loves her job and instead of giving this teacher an apple, give her a diet coke - seriously she deserves it

Quite self-righteous teacher. She takes words very personally. What she thinks you said is more important to her, not what you really said. If she doesn't like you, your time in class will be miserable.

She is PHENOMENAL! Makes class really enjoyable. I've done really well on my essays, but have heard from others that she is a tough esssay grader. Class is also very manageable if you want to take it in the summer, four 5-page essays overall! Attendance highly advised so you don't miss anything. If you have the opportunity, take her class!!!

Summer 2011-Engl-116 this professor made class worth attending. There was lots to do and lots crammed into 6 weeks. I'm working full time and taking this class was challenging. You will definitely learn. Hopefully she will teach Engl-122 or 123

I LOVED HER!!! i took 118 as a summer course and even though it was only 6 weeks long she taught me so much! As long as you go to class and do all your assignments you can get a B no problem.
