Comment:

She is a super nice person, but you never really know if what you're going to hand in is what she wants. She isn't very clear about what she wants until after you hand in your paper.

Great prof, boring class, easy marks. Def. a GPA booster. Every paper was done the night before resulting in A's, A+'s and im no literary genius. Follow directions closely and be friendly and its all good.

Comment:

I found this class easy, uninteresting and a waste of time. I felt like I was in high school again. However, she marks strictly, and rarely gives A's. But if you work hard and go to class it pays off.

She's tough marker but she's very helpful and caring,I guess it depends on how u ask for help/advice and students' attitudes.Not **** at all.Yes,it's a hard course but I think any English teacher would be.She's a very good teacher,fine person and she knows her stuff.

This professor is the WORST of all! She's nice at first and then PMS kicks in-she becomes a horrible monster! She feeds off misery! Her marking is hard, assignments are hard, exams are hard! She doesn't like helping students-kinda coco in the head! I asked for help and she gave me PMS-wow!

She is a nice, friendly person, but not a good teacher. Class itself is easy, but assignments are hard. A tough corrector, tough expectations and does not give clear explanations when you question her.

Comment:

She comes off as a nice person, and then when PMS kicks in she transforms into a terrible monster. One time she got off from telling my class that 90% of us failed the essay. Someone this unstable should not be left alone with her students.

Expects alot, but quite possibly one of the better profs at the university. When you have essays, write them first then integrate quotes/do research, she is more about writing style than content.
