Hard grader, no one in my class has gotten above a B including myself. Always something wrong with your paper. Funny and great personality, just don't appreciate the teaching style.

Comment:

I took honors expository writing with Perry my first semester at FSU. She was very welcoming and cared about all of her students. I am not an English major so I was expecting to have a hard time in the class but she made it very clear on each assignment and gave great feedback. Would recommend for this class!

I love professor perry. She is hilarious and kind. I excel at English, and the papers are not difficult for me. So, my opinions on grading may be skewed. I love her. Great help. Very knowledgeable. Very funny.

Comment:

I didn't like her at all. First of all I bought all 8 books that were on the list, to find out we didn't use one of them. I showed up to every single class, did all my assignments, and did the best writing that I could and got a C. I participated every now and then and like I said did every assignment. But I guess she didn't like my writing.

I'm reading a lot of mixed reviews here. It seems like her online class may be a bit confusing, however I found that her lecture classes were awesome. She's very energetic and funny. At times, she strays from the topic at hand but she always gets back to it. Turn in organized and well-written essays and you'll do great. (Class: Mythology)

She makes you work for it, but if you put the effort in you'll be fine. A little disorganized.

So I am a veteran Perry Child. I had her for Expos, Childrens lit and now Adult lit. She is very hilarious but hard to understand sometimes. Ask her for help and you will get it and if you form a connection with her all the better.

Comment:

I really couldn't stand this class for like the first half of the semester! She gets off topic pretty easily and ended up confusing me sometimes. She's definitely a tough grader, but that'll improve your writing! I now miss having her as a professor, but I expected Children's Lit to be a little more colorful.

Comment:

I have never been a huge fan when it comes to Writing but this professor made me hate it. The assignments are very repetitive and she will not tell you why you didn't get an A. It was fairly easy but she does not explain things well and she is a very self absorbed person. The grading doesn't make any sense. Avoid this class if you can.

Comment:

As far as niceness goes she is one of the nicest people in the world. However, her teaching skills lack enthusiasm and quality. The class put me to sleep half the time, the other half of the time I was trying to understand what she was saying. Her assignments are unclear and require too much to do. She does not make sense when it comes to work.

Comment:

Professor Perry is really nice and sweet, however her assignments are not very straight forward. She clearly knows the topic very well, but doesn't exactly explain what she's expecting clearly enough and you're kind of left guessing and hoping for the best. Her classes seemed to be her just talking about whatever was going on in her head.

Comment:

Should have avoided this class. Grading is unpredictable and teacher does not follow her own grading guidelines. Can't figure out what she wants because she does not comment.When she does it's to say good job while giving a C-. At least the book was interesting.

Comment:

Professor Perry is one of the most un-intimidating and helpful professors at FSU. She is clear in class about what she wants and is extremely flexible. She will always give extra help if you need it and she strongly encourages students to see her in her office hours! She is a tough grader but almost always allows you to revise!

Comment:

Everyone giving Dr. Perry a bad review is just a sour grape. She is hard and expects a lot, but she is such an amazing and intelligent professor! She does care about how you do in her class. By far my favorite professor in the English Department at FSU. And to those who say she's rude: that's just her sense of humor. Lighten up!

Comment:

The class was easy enough. It was not very challenging reading, even tho the prof kept insisting that it was. She is incredibly rude, snarky and narcissistic. She is not helpful and even has a policy of not putting any comments on your big final essay project. Literature for teens taught by someone with the emotional maturity of a teenager.

Comment:

Perry is a very fair professor. Some may find her grading to be harsh but you can rewrite practically any assignment for a better grade. She is friendly and has a great sense of humor, making the classroom environment relaxed and easy to work in. I found that my writing vastly improved in her class. If you care enough you'll do fine.

Comment:

Although she has a perky attitude, cracks a few jokes in class and cancels class for unnecessary reasons, she is by far the worse teacher I have had yet! She is not clear about what she wants for your paper, grades very hard, and you have two papers that make up your grade for the class. I do no recommend her at all EVEN if you are an ENG Major!!
