Comment:

This is my second time to take this professor and if I could have helped it, I would have gone to someone else. Either it was the subject matter, it was, or it was the professor's teaching style, I don't know at this point, make her class your top priority because if you let it slip, there could be a possibility of getting low grades or failing. :(

Id be curious to see the grades and effort anyone who did not absolutely aDORE Dr. Beebe received. Shes a WONDERFUL professor, who genuinely wants to see her students succeed, not only in the classroom, but also in their future careers. She leaves detailed comments on our essays, which sparks improvement. She is who I aspire to be one day

If you don't mind a ridiculous amount of busy work, agonizing discussion, and unrealistic expectations because she wants to make sure you write like she does, avoid at all costs.

Comment:

I took Dr. Beebe's summer American Literature class as a graduate student. In five weeks, I got a good education in the short fiction of Nathaniel Hawthorne and John Updike. Dr. Beebe presented her expectations for the class at the beginning and didn't waiver from them. She encourages frequent participation in class discussion. She's funny, too.

Comment:

Dr. Beebe is an amazing professor, she pushes us to think critically and expand beyond our thinking boxes. If you do your homework (reading pages) every night you should do just fine. During lecture she goes over the reading and points out any possible essay questions for future exams.

Dr. Beebe is an exemplary professor. She has high expectations for her students because she genuinely believes in their abilities. The truth is, if you read, study, and offer discussion in class, you WILL learn. This is a promise. . If you are coming to UTT as an ENGL major, make sure you build a relationship with Dr. Beebe. You'll be glad you did.

Dr. Beebe is a fabulous professor!!! She is passionate about teaching and makes the class enjoyable. There is a lot of reading required and a heavy workload as far as that goes but it is so worth it!

Comment:

Not an English Major, but I really enjoyed the class. If you pay attention in class and take notes, you should be fine. She gives you all the possible questions on a test beforehand. (She gives you about 30 but only picks 7) The quizzes consist of analysis questions on the assigned reading. Homework is roughly 10-15 pages of reading per day.

Dr. Beebe makes the world of English literature seem vast and wonderful. You learn a lot in her classes. She helps you see your own potential, and encourages you to reach it. She's a true teacher. You must read in order to do well, and you wont regret any of it.

If you are planning on becoming an English professor/teacher, then you must take this professor. She will make you work for everything you earn, and you will be better off because of it. Don't be threatened that she's tough. She cares more about her students than anyone else I know.

Comment:

Dr. Ann Beebe is an AMAZING professor. I have taken her classes for over four years in undergraduate and graduate-level courses. Dr. Beebe is a mentor, an advisor, and an advocate for her students. The only regret that I have about graduating from UT Tyler is that I will not be in Dr. Beebe's classes any longer. She will be a hard act to follow.

I have had Dr Beebe for four semester now. She is a great and caring professor. Not only did she lead me in the classroom, she gave me outside opportunities to work on the newsletter and encouraged me to apply to conferences. She pushed me to publish my work, and I did. She made all the difference in my graduate career, I highly recommend her.

Comment:

Dr. Beebe is an excellent professor. She gives amazing lectures and gets into the discussion. However, she expects her students to do the same. She gets upset when her students don't participate. Her expectations are incredibly high and there were times where I struggled meeting them. She gives great feedback. I'm taking her again next semester.

Dr. Beebe genuinely cares for her students. She is a tough teacher, but you will know your stuff and become a much better writer. This was my fourth time in her class, and I wouldn't be where I am today academically without her guidance.

This class helped me grow as a writer, a critical reader, a critical thinker, and has made me a better teacher. Don't wait until Sunday night to begin her assignments. She READS your essays and challenges you to write better. Worth the time and worth the effort.

Comment:

Amazing professor, but she is not for the faint of heart. Reading avg was about 300-400 pgs per week and avg. 12-15 pgs written per week for DB posts/essays as grad student. Do not take while taking another hard course or if you do not have the time. However, you'll learn enough for 4 classes worth of tuition, and her lectures are funny.
