I took this lady on 2007, and trust me that was my worst experience at Miami Dade College. Avoid her, stay away, go with someone else.

Comment:

This teacher is not communicative nor responsive. Neither, is she specific in her instructions and when she does communicate it is brief and assumes you know of specific details. A month's worth of assignments completed on time and yet no response or papers graded. She lacks concern for her student's needs.

Comment:

This lady was the ultimate headache. She bombards you with 3 classes worth of homework every class and doesn't give enough time to finish them. Even if you e-mail her or drop by her office she's never either around nor will respond to your messages. Not a recommendable professor at all. I re-took the class with Dr Hettich and my he is amazing.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS VIRTUAL CLASS!although the work is easy&instructions are clear she is constantly changing due dates and her mind on how assignments should be submitted, never replies to emails,is rude & unwilling to help. she also takes forever to grade assignments, so you never know where you stand and what to improve on until it is too late. BAD

Omg she is a really bad professor ! I am an international student, I am not lazy AT all, I never had any problems in doing the homework that my professors were asking for but she just ask for TOO MUCH! It is not complicated but it's a huge amount of work. And if you need help of course you can contact her but she will NEVER answer to you !

Very good teacher. Again some people have unreasonable expectations about a college level virtual class. The instruction are really simple and easy to follow just read the syllabus at the beginning of the semester and abide the deadlines and you should be able to get a "A" with no problems

Stay away from her. She is far from objective. She can be very mean, and the amount of work is just overwhelming.

Virtual-Im taking her class now & the class is easy but the teacher is a pain. Shes always changing due dates & she never writes back to anyone. She closed an essay assignment early because she figured we had so much time to do it that everyone should have already turned it in. oh & her criticism isnt useful, instead its harsh with no elaboration.

Comment:

I had a very bad experience with her. I did my work which some times took me to write more than 30 pages, in her own words my job was perfect, but due to fact that I did not speak in her class she compel me to write an extra credit assignment because according to her I had to speak in class. This a writing class not an speech class.

Comment:

(Virtual) Absolutely horrible! She failed to answer ANY emails from the entire class all semester. The quizzes were ridiculously easy, however, her obsession with citations and obvious lack of interesting in helping her students completely outweighs the easiness. Her class was by far the worst experience in any class that I have ever taken.

Comment:

She is not helpful at all. I emailed a question she never answered. Since she takes forever to grade things you never know how your doing or what you need to improve on and she did not grade the extra credit essay at the end of the class so... that was a waste of time! Her quizzes are very easy and usually gives 2 chances. I wouldn't take her!

I Took virtual class last semester and my experience was very bad. I always participated in class and I never had anything belong to ?B? and my final grade was ?D?. I called her several times and Never returned my calls nor was she "available" when I requested to speak to her in person. Please avoid this teacher is a bad person

Took virtual class. Do all of your essays, three. Last module consist of answering questions on short stories. She takes time to respond and grade. Overall I would recommend this professor.

Comment:

In my experience this semester taking her for ENC1102, I would recommend her. Yes she does take some time to respond ot emails but does respond; the assignments however, are very clear. There is nothing confusing about her assignements of her syllabus. People seem more worried about due dates than actually completing assignments.

Comment:

This professor, is the worst, she had a personal problem this last semester, and instead of being professional and get someone to take care of the class, she just stopped everything in the middle of the semester, leaving everybody in a Limbo state. She is disorganized, the grades are always late and she is not helpful at all.
