Really good teacher! Open discussion in class all the time. 3 essays, 1 5-7 page research paper, midterm (in-class essay), and final. The final was a take-home essay 2 pages. 4 pop quizzes on reading material. All assignements are out of 100 points. Take the class, it's easy and you actually learn something!

Overall one of the best writing teachers, considering its my first English course at De anza. Pretty easy teacher in my opinion. If you fail to come to class then its your fault and you should star wearing velcro shoes from tomorrow because you cannot follow directions.

Comment:

Her class has been fascinating. The information that I've learned in this class I use everyday. Learn to think semiotically!!! The class discussions help bring different perspectives to the table and gets everyone involved...do the readings to stay on topic and the class will be an easy grade.

Comment:

She is one of the best English teachers I've ever had. Her class was interesting. We wrote 3 papers plus the final which was totally easy. Just show some interest in the class discussions and you'll be fine. If EWRT2 wasn't the last English class I had to take ever again, I'd take another one of Mergozzi's classes.

Very open minded teacher. Nice and a very comfortable teacher to be around. Very relaxed in her grading and viewpoints from her students. Very interesting class. I do not even really like the reading material per se, and I got a good grade in the class.

Comment:

Extremely helpful and supportive professor! Her lectures are really intriguing, and there's barely classwork, just provoking discussions. She really drills down semiotic analysis, which in the end, is very beneficial! Learned a lot from her; highly recommended.

Comment:

The majority of class was spent in open discussion of the text, and the topics were almost always interesting. Reading her feedback was kind of hard for me because her handwriting isnt exaclty the best. She was enthusiastic every class and pushed us to form opinions and participate. I enjoyed it.

Comment:

She makes class very interesting.. she cover the topic of race and ethnicity.. if you're simply not interested in that, don't even bother taking her class, you're too narrow-minded.. The readings she assigned are pretty interesting and allow for diversity.. The writing is just about right.. 3 papers and two in-class essays. Prepares you for EWRT2.

Comment:

Class is always a waste of time. you'll learn more from reading your MLA book than you will in her class. Also...she doesnt tell you whats on the test/final. just that you need to read the whole thing.

Comment:

she brings up the most interesting discussions about race and english. you begin to learn a lot about yourself if you take this class. all you need to do is read and do the essays to get an A. if you suck at grammar dont take this class.

Comment:

she's REALLY NICE, but being one of her students for ewrt100b for her first year was a bad experience. she grades as if ur in ewrt1a. she doesn't explain how to do your essays or how the format should be. and i gotta tell you, she could put me to sleep. BORING!

she sucks. don't take her class...seriously.... she is not a commited teacher, minding her personal business more than her official duty as a teacher. T.T boring. pop quiz kills your grades.

Comment:

Mrs. Mergozzi is just...OK. Her lectures and assignments are fair and normal, but sometimes unclear. I managed to get an A- in ber class after all. By the way, preview the materaials before her lecture begins in order to deal with POP QUIZ, b/c she grade them strictly, BE CAREFUL! If you think you are a PUNCTUAL, DILIGENT student, take her.

Comment:

I am suprised by the reviews she is getting, i think she is a wonderful teacher. She knows literature very well and is a very nice teacher with very thoughtful lectures. She incorporates alot of sociology into her lessons which is very interesting. I would recommend her to anyone, she is a great teacher who knows her stuff very well

Comment:

Ms. Mergozzi is far from compassionate or understanding. Sure her class is dumbed down enough for lazy people to hardly show up and barely pass, but when it comes to students with special circumstances, she is heartless. Take her class if you don't want to work, but don't take her class if you have a life.
