Comment:
This is a class with a LOT of work and the professor can be confusing. However, the assignments are short and simple, you only have to read 2 or 3 pages a night (twice there were 15+ pages long stories, though). There are no essays, except a short summary on an article. Quizzes everyday (counts as particpation but she drops the two lowest score).

Barely pulled out a B- and I love English. She is too old to teach. Not nice. Not helpful. Not encouraging. Tough Grader!

She is a tough grader. She will give you facts and ideas about stories you read and then you write it down on your tests and she still tells you you're wrong. Quizzes everyday on stories you're supposed to read the day before.

I didn't finish this class due to a personal emergency, not because of the teacher. She is a very challenging teacher and she will make you work, BUT my short time in the class really did help me as a writer. Don't take this teacher if you are not prepared to put time and effort into it.

Dr. Tawake is ideal for those who welcome a challenge and for those who want an education and not simply a degree! Ignore any negative mumbo jumbo about her. If you truly endeavor to improve your writing, then she will be there for you. Offers reinforcement with material if you need it. I Grew tremendously from this course. A caring professor.

Makes this class a lot more difficult than it has to be. I was taking this class assuming it would be easy and got the lowest grade ever in college. Everyone in my class when they got a 70. Would not recommend in the slightest.

Do not take! She'll ask your opinion then tell you you're wrong. You write a paper, go to a conference with her and she'll tell you what to fix before turning in it, then you'll get back a C (maybe) even after fixing what she told you. DONT TAKE!

She is a terrible teacher! I would alwasy go to her for help and she would never answer my questions. All she did was make me feel stupid! She will also call you out in class and make you read your paper to the whole class and critize it infront of everyone! Dont take her!!

A really difficult class, way harder then all of my friends classes. if you go to class and do the work you will pass but if you are looking for an A don't take her. I got a B+ but I spent hours and hours on the papers. If she assigns a reading do it, because their will be a quiz on it

Comment:
She is not 100% awful, and getting an A is not impossible. You must come to class because there are daily quizzes. She drops two of your lowest quiz grades out of twenty some. She talks the whole entire time, and the class seems to take forever. There are two exams in which are very broad summaries of the assigned books.

She isn't that bad. Quizzes daily but discussions after so that you understand the story. She does play fav but as long as you come who cares. You do need to be able to write a few papers but overall it isn't that bad

Oh, and she'll give you a quiz on the reading material every time you have class, so make sure you read and go to class.

Very rude. I had a hard time getting the book online (the book was published in 1993 and costed $70 on campus wtf), and she gave me hell about it. Even when things like missing class for a family members MAJOR surgery, she brought up the fact that it took a while to get my book. Grades harshly. NOT RECOMMENDED.

One word AWFUL! If you aren't one of her favorites...good luck. I asked her a question she responded "Because, I said so." What am I 5? Take my advice avoid this teacher.

Dr. Tawake is not that bad. Everyone makes her out to be so awful but if you go to class and do your work, it is not hard to do well. I didn't do the optional homework and studied for about an hour for each quiz and made an A, so its achievable. If you arent rude or lazy you'll be fine (you can probably still be a little lazy)

Awful teacher! Does not know what she is doing. Should retire! She is rude, mean, and a just a overall bad teacher. Avoid her at ALL COST! Over half of my class if flunking the class.

Comment:
Do not take this course without good grammar skills. She teaches the grammar courses and grades very hard on grammar in papers. She is a misunderstood teacher. She is very nice and will work and listen to you as long as you participate. Not the best teacher for everyone though. If youre a hardworker, you should be okay

Comment:
She was extremely passionate about this class (It was about the Pacific Islands) because her husband was from there. This class was pretty difficult, but if you went to class everyday and explained your situation to her, she was happy to work with you. Not the best teacher... but you could definitely pass if you put a little effort into it.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! She never really tells you what you need to do. Her paper topics NEVER make any sense. I have never made less than an A in English and passed AP English in High School, but did not do well in her class at all. just try to avoid her!
