Cares about her students. Clear on what she wants. Lots of assignments to do outside of class. Good class for ESL learners to take before ENGL1100. I am native in English, and passionate about grammar so I found it too easy. She is very clear in her teaching. The only drawback in her teaching is the that she is so overly enthusiastic it's annoying.

GREAT PROF! HARD MARKER, IF YOU EMAIL HER SHE RESPONDS BACK! SHE WAS A TOUGH GRADER. 1 RHETORICAL ESSAY, 1 SUMMARY, 1 TERM PAPER, 1 MIDTERM, 1 PERSUASIVE ESSAY, 1 FINAL. ASSIGNMENTS ARE EASY, SUMMARY WAS ONLY 110 WORDS, AND TERM PAPER WAS 1000 WORDS, CHILL CLASS BUT BORING. LISTEN TO HER FEEDBACK TO GET A BETTER GRADE.

THE EASIEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER TAKEN!!! I took her course online I would say she is the easiest marker, there wasn't a lot of homework either, she let's u hand in assignment late too. Overall she is a great prof and really helped me get a great mark in English .. the worlds most hardest course !

Comment:

Very disorganized. Directions were clear for the most part but was very strict in terms of grading and grammar. Gave decent feedback. Took it online, she didn't give us a syllabus so I want constantly running around the website looking for criteria. Weekly modules were fairly easy. If you do the assignments and listen to feedback you'll do well.

She was an amazing instructor who knew what she was talking about. The class was partially online, so we did have to show up for class, but not all of them. It is not as difficult as other ENGL1100 classes. Super easy class! I would definitely take her for my other ENGL courses.

Comment:

There are assignment every week. Couple of the assignments are worth 10% usually are essays 600-800 words. The term paper at the end in worth 20% and the final is worth 25%. She gives lots of great feedback and responds to emails quickly. However, she is super picky on grammar and format. She's a tough marker especially for a first year course.

Comment:

I took Deborah's online 1202 class and I did well on her class without even trying and procrastinating most of the time. What I really liked about her online 1202 is that even though you hand in late essays, she doesn't take any marks off. I handed in 3 essays before the Finals and she marked it as if it was on time. She understands her students.

Deborah is a very enthusiastic ENGL instructor. She just loves what she does. She is very honest and straight forward. However, she is not an easy marker in 1202 courses but if you at least try in her class, you'll do well.

Comment:

Deborah is a consistent marker. Take her preferences in essay writing into consideration because she is very specific in what she likes/doesn't like. Lots of readings and group work, but it's manageable. She loves to help so make sure to ask her questions. Type your essay in the exact format she wants and always write in literary present tense.

Comment:

Deborah was actually nicer than I anticipated. She is however a bit strict when it comes to writing in present tense. She will reply to your emails within a day and is very accommodating and understanding. She will do her best to help you if you can't meet a deadline which is great when something goes wrong. Overall, she's a great professor.

Comment:

Her lectures are long and lots of reading, but what do you expect? It's english. ASK HER for help, thats how she knows if you care for this course and wanting to atleast pass. She's really strict on writing in ONLY present tense. LOTS of group work throughout the term. Other than those, I would suggest taking her!
