Comment:

I love Sydney! She's very open minded and is WOKE! I love the 2 small books, we had to read for class. No textbook tho, we do write a bit of essays, attendance is mandatory but is very understanding if something comes up. Just be honest with her and she will be cool with you. Always has office hours, definitely taking her for Eng 124 in the fall!

I can't believe you guys took the same class i did. I took Brown for her online English 124 and it was a great class, though difficult because you do a semester in half the time. We only had one four hour quiz that was four short essay questions that were not that hard at all. She always got back to me quickly and was chill. this is college

I loved Sydney, was never very good in English through High School. Sydney made me look at English in a new way. She was always very willing to help if you needed it. She gives you plenty of opportunity to get the grade you want, if you put the effort. Would've taken all my English classes with her if possible, Absolute favorite teacher so far!

Comment:

Lots of reading with an extremely high vocabulary, & are controversial & boring. Short replies that make you feel stupid for asking questions. High point quizzes that contain large essays that are due in 4 hours once opened & you can only open these ONCE. Very strict, unreasonable, & hypocritical w/ deadlines (modules taking forever to be updated).

Comment:

1- She doesn't prefer to impart or react legitimately. This is an online class, and she should react to any scrutinize that befuddles an understudy. 2- Not very evident. She allows a 4 hour test like clockwork without giving the fundamental inquiries previously we tap on the (take test). 4 hours test is extremely troublesome for English 124 under

I took Sydney's 120 and 124 accelerated online courses and thoroughly enjoyed both. Sydney is a great teacher. She uses a combination of discussions, essays and quizzes. As long as you hit all the points on the grading rubric you're golden. Quizzes are easy, just read what she tells you to read beforehand. 10/10 would recommend.

I just love Miss Sydney, Enrique, and the way they do their class. You get to revise every thing and that is what helped me the most. They are fun and care alot. I am going to take Miss Sydney for all my English classes.

Sydney is funny so class goes by fast. I learned more about writing in this class than all of high school. She even helped me write a letter to petition for financial aid. Love her!

As a strong a student who struggled to hold a c in this class I would not advise taking sydney brown. she is very unapproachable and seams to not show up to class every other week or so. She tends to act superior and speaks to her students as if they are unintelligent.

Sydney cares so much about her students and their success. She's so down to earth it's awesome. Her class is easy as long as you put forth effort. Expect lots of readings and easy essays. Her grading is very clear and helpful. You have an option of essay revisions for full credit. Class is cancelled or she's late often. Highly recommend taking her

I was in the same section of American lit and Sydney helped me alot. She met me out of class more than once. I had some major things going on in my life and she gave me more time on papers, which saved my grade and my sanity. Honestly, I don't think I could have passed this class without her kindness. She really cares about her students.

I just would not take from Prof. Brown ever again and luckily I don't have to. As an English major going for my certificate I was not helped by her and as a DSPS student that was unacceptable. She needs to listen to the students and when they send her an e mail, then respond. Also, she needs to use BLACKBORD for making sure we know our grades.

I would only give this professor a 5 between 1 and 5. When you asked to meet her after class in her office, she would skip out of it at the last minute with a note on the door. What ever happened to e mail notification? You know it is interesting that you are not to use foul language on this site, yet prof. Brown used it in her class a lot.1

Sydney's great, she's always more than willing to help with an essay and she definitely makes the class pretty fun. However she did cancel class quite a few times, which in the long run definitely helped a lot of people but overall she was great, I worked with her during her office hours on an essay and got a perfect score because of it:)

She was really helpful if you needed help. She gives lots of reading and will ask questions the next day. She gives pop quizes but she will clue out when they are. Easy's are tough but she let's you revise.
