I respect her passion for literature. It makes the class fun. She's hilarious and kind. I love her blue hair. Just don't use your phone and make sure to take notes. She also doesn't make us buy a textbook. All you have to do is buy one novel. I got mine for $5.

She doesn't allow you to use your phone so if that's what you love to forget it. Very hard if you don't read so read! and Assignments were about participation. Boring class but respect the blue hair

She just requires her students to actually be college students. I loved her class. Wish I could take her again

Took her for multiple classes. Loved her style of teaching. She doesn't like excuses and you are expected to do the work and participate. She has great discussions. It will be very clear whether or not your views align but your opinion is valued as long as you are respectable about it. She treats her students the same way.

ONLINE class. Several assignments due every week+sometimes mini essays+Final essays. It got tough on some weeks because of that. It can be tricky learning all these new literary criticisms and using it in your writing and not having that classroom support. My advice: Be ready to teach yourself+heavy work load OR just take it in person.

GREAT PROFESSOR! She really has a passion and love for literature and passes it on to the students. The lectures are always great. Great knowledge of the subject. Took her in the Summer at 7 AM and there was never a dull moment. A professor that wants you to succeed. Read the assignments and do the work. This class reignited my love of reading.

So, I'm in the last year of my degree, and if any of you are like me; Just looking to get those last few classes in before you transfer, this professor does NOT make it any easier for you! I've taken online courses before and they're usually not bad, but 48 assignments?! FORTY-EIGHT! I mean it's great when you miss one, but lord! Keep up.

She is well informed. Open to questions. Open to discussion. Not tolerant of students that play on their phone in class. Patient with that one annoying student (you know who it is) however she maintains professionalism when addressing a misbehaved student. Overall, good co tent, professional, good teaching, only requires cheap textbooks.

She's incredible!!! So fun and her lectures are great. The material she assigns is thought provoking and easy to get into. Big tip, though? DO THE READINGS. She doesn't assign them for nothing, and she expects you to read them, it's not that bad, promise. Other than that, she's really laid back. Plus, who wouldn't want a professor with blue hair?

Good professor. I learned a lot and she makes the class fun. Attend class and turn in your assignments. You cannot turn anything late!!! I didn't turn in my final paper and got an B. I would take her again.

Great professor, but you have to be on top of your game as far as grammar, MLA style, and essay format. She is demanding, but the course is well-paced and you have plenty of time to complete the assignments. Do not expect an easy "A" and don't procrastinate. She has her preferred style (which you will learn) and you must stick to it to pass.

Literally the coolest teacher ever<3 I couldn't stand English before but she makes it so interesting & actually relevant to life. She's not a hard grader at all; just make sure you use quotes from the readings & you got n easy A! Also very understanding about people's personal lives & will work with you -- even listen to our problems haha

I just finished taking some courses at A&M U and the advanced English classes there are easier than this class at a community college! I think it was my style of writing but Im very good in reading and writing essays but I did not get a grade I deserved. I would not take this professor again.

She is very knowledgeable in many areas, esp. regarding literature. You will develop a good appreciation for reading - necessary for you to be good writer, which is what you need to succeed in college. READ ALL assignments BEFORE hand. I will be taking more classes from in the future. If you do the work, you will get an A

She is an amazing teacher. If you do your reading and assignments she will help you to no end. She tries to help out students as much as she can even prints off stories you need if you don't have a book. Learn lots of interesting random facts during her class as well, I was never bored. Plus when she reads to you in class, nothing is more soothing.

Mrs. Focht-Hansen is not only a great teahcer, but you really do learn a lot in her class. Definitely emphasizes on MLA documentation. Can get off topic at times, but nonetheless gets back to what is being done. Read, read, read and do all the assignments. Easy A.

Focht is a great teach!!! she does tend to get off on her topics sometimes thats because my class is full of a bunch of 3 year olds who talk about pointless stuff all day and will not hush. Focht is awsome though.
