Prepare to be truly challenged, humbled, and changed. It was an honor learning from Dr. O. I will never forget her, or her teachings. She is a spectacular and inspiring woman.

Comment:

A very engaging person, not recommend as an instructor. 30 Journal entries are actual essays & must be done to pass. Requires 8 books, I only used 2. 10 essays, presenting on 5, 3 formal essays, presenting on 1 for 20 min, & at least 4 film analysis. Turned in same final paper in 2 classes, F from her, A in the other. Ended w/3 other students.

Comment:

Personally I found this class overwhelming. She assigned the class a essay about our favorite author followed by a 5-7 min presentation about our essay within the first week of school. The syllabus also said that we would have 10 more oral presentations but 5 of those wouldnt be graded. It really stressed me out.

Comment:

Do not take any of her courses if you expect to learn, let alone learn English. It's amazing that she qualifies to be an English teacher. On the first day she blatantly said she's proud that she fails white people and males intentionally so they can feel oppression. Talked down to all white people solely based on race. Not open minded at all.

Please teach poetry and more classes Dr.O! you are so insightful and help me see new things. Many books, but it is up to me if I read them. Also, I can take notes on presentations when other students do the readings. I do ok when I start papers early and take them to writing lab with directions

Dr. O is extremely dedicated and professional. She expects and demands the same from you. Her class is an amazing chance to learn. KEEP UP. Pace yourself, make sure you understand every direction, and you will do fine. Remember she is there to help you but not give you excuses

This was the most demanding class I have ever taken, and it was so worth it!it taught me to be a student as well as critical thinking skills. DO NOT get behind in this class. Do your work as early as possible. Class requires participation as well as homework. Very challenging, but prepared me for 4yr college.

This is not the class to take if you want an easy A with no attention needed... but this IS the class for you if you want get the best preparation for critical thinking & 4-yr institution work. You'll fare best in her class just by joining open group discussions and submitting all of your writing, even your worst. I took her Engl2 class as well.

First off, I got into a Universtiy but bc she failed me my acceptance was dropped. She gave me 40% on ALL my papers (I promise I'm not a bad writer) which is ridiculous. My final partner essay was 15 pages, took 3 weeks to write, and we got a 50%. Made me buy 8 textbooks, didn't use any of them. Makes you buy her poetry book. Don't take this class.

Comment:

She's a great person, but a terrible teacher. She assigns a lot of work but you spend very little time in class actually learning anything. She even makes you buy her book. If you want a good grade you need to do way too much work compared to similar leveled classes, and you also need to agree with everything she says.

Very interesting lectures, knowledgable, good person, bad teacher. Her classes are content-heavy but did not go into the actual rules of English; her grading was 100% technical skill-based. We were expected to learn them outside of class from the textbook. She needs to either teach history/soc or actually cover what she grades in class.

Comment:

I'm not going to lie, this class was tough! And worth it. Dr. O expanded my mind and heart. She is amazing and respects her students enough to hold them accountable as adults, not children. I think most of the bad reviews come from students who's beliefs were challenged at a basic level and just could not cope with seeing reality in a new way

Comment:

Worst experience EVER. No one in my class could get above a 70 on an essay (out of 100) because everything was graded based on whether or not you agreed with your opinion. By the end of the semester we ended the class with THREE people. Highly recommend you don't take her class

You absolutely must attend every class, on time, NO exceptions. if you miss class, she expects an explanation as if you were her child. She does not care about outside circumstances, doesnt except late papers, and you have 3 syllabi!!!! THREE! That is just Insanity! I spent the entire semester trying to figure it out! No empathy! Spare yourself!!!

Comment:

She is horrible. I especially hated taking her class because I work full time turned in my paper on time but did not go to class and she told me she couldn't except my paper. Avoid her class if you work she doesn't care. She wants you in class and could care less about your life outside of class.

I dropped half way through and there were only 12 left at that time. 50 journal entries, 10 presentations, 3+ papers, plus you must buy her book and report on it, which she takes personally. This felt like a social justice, or women's studies class. If you do not share her opinion, look out. She is a great person, smart but a poor teacher . AVOID

There are 3 syllabi! Need I say more? I never could understand them! Makes you buy her poetry book, new! So many assignments I couldn't keep track or remember which syllabus to look at. Not forgiving of late papers. Has her own agenda for the topics she chooses. The comments posted here reflect my experience as well. Run... Run... Run...

Comment:

The expectations in this class are quite rediculous. The goal of the class is to become a better critical thinker, but if you don't agree with her views, your thinking is somehow wrong. If you're religious, straight, male, or white (which I am only one of the three) don't take this class.
