AWFUL. This was the worst class I ever took. She was very unclear and the syllabus was long and misleading.

Comment:

Laughable lack of clarity. Assignments are irrelevant and lengthy. Will publicly humiliate you in front of the class. Believes technology is evil, yet requires it for everything. Teaches multiple different lessons in a chaotic manner. Horrific lectures. Sadistic grader. This class will set you up for failure, alcoholism, and destroy your gpa.

Comment:

Horrible teacher. Offers to help, but doesn't actually do much to help. Mood/attitude towards students change frequently. She will call you out/yell at you in front of class if she doesn't like your work or what you're doing, made class unbearable DO NOT TAKE

If you want to learn about her son's life then this class is definitely for you! Does not help, nor teach you anything. She has no concept of modern technology and has extremely high expectations for us after she doesn't teach you anything.

Comment:

Very nice lady, but always frazzled, doesn't follow the syllabus closely, but expects you to know what's going on and hand everything in. Sometimes she completely forgets about assignments. Doesn't even go over most of the paper assignments, and most don't relate to what you're doing in class. VERY difficult grader. don't take for coll writ II.

Comment:

She is really a sweet lady who gets very personal with classes. She was a HS teacher for a long time and it shows. Her classes are very easy, reading is easy, however tests are very hard and often slightly irrelevant to reading. Also very demanding on papers for a writing 1 teacher. Overall she wont be your worst option.

Comment:

Go to her if you're having trouble, she really appreciates and notices who's going for help. But she talks quickly while trying to do notes, and she's a tough grader. Nice lady, but you have to write her way or you'll do poorly. Essays are very frequent.

Comment:

worst teacher i have ever had so far. shes a sweet lady but a terrible teacher. you never know what she wants from you and gives you no feedback on our work and takes forever to give papers back. she gives a lot of work, all of which is pointless. i felt like i had to downgrade my writing skills to get a decent grade

Comment:

She's alright... I've had better professors. She can be a little unclear on things such as grading, but once you figure out what she expects she's not very hard. She seems to give us pretty... odd... projects though. For some projects I had no idea what the purpose was.

Comment:

Nice Lady. Absolutely horrible educator. You have to do approximately 87 million papers and she never explains any of them. However i know everything about her son and the students in her high school classes. Don't take, you won't learn anything.

Absolutely the worst educator I have ever had. Absolutely wasted time in her class, regretted not dropping the class to take with another professor. No explanation of anything. Talks about her son more than course work.
