Love Jen. I would recommend her to anyone taking Eng 110. She's very nice, extremely helpful, and gives you tons of time for in-class writing, making it super easy to know you're doing the right things. You'll get an easy A if you're asking for help when you're unsure of grammar or how to word things. Just do the work and TRY. Class is sup. intrstg

I loved Prof. Richrath! I took her for a four week class and she was extremely timely about getting our papers back to us before the next one was due so that we could have her input to improve our papers. She was prompt in responding to emailed questions and was very clear about deadlines and expectations. Would definitely take her again!

Before this class, I didn't realize how much went into filmmaking! The expectations are clear, and she will answer any questions you have at any hour of the day. If you're willing to do the reading and attend class, you'll enjoy the experience.

Highly recommended! Lecture every two weeks with a film shown between. The work for the class itself is easy, as long as you pay attention the lectures and apply it to the films you watch it's an easy A. Films itself were enjoyable, didn't have any that were hard to watch. She's always willing to help if you have any confusion with the class.

Good instructor. Also willing to answer questions. Don't really need the book. Anything related to course can easily be found online. You write 5 papers. There are in class assignments that are easy. A couple quizes that you do online which aren't that bad. Other than having to write 5 papers the class isn't bad. No Final!

Comment:

She's the coolest professor. You watch a film on the first day and then every other time you meet. So it's lecture one day, and a movie the next. The first two tests are the most difficult but not too bad. There's a group project and a project on a specific director. Also there's one paper. Some tests are essay based. Shows good films, nothing dry.

Comment:

Extremely genuine! Highly recommend! Especially for first year college students. Has a very smart way of letting you be an independent student but providing enough to not take up all of class time lecturing. She still notices me and briefly speaks to me in the halls a year after. That says a lot about noticing and caring for students!

Professor Richrath has been one of my favorites! I wasn't particularity interested in the class but she made it fun and interesting! Homework isn't difficult at all and grading is straightforward. I didn't always make it to class but she was super helpful when I had to miss. Great with communicating-just email or stop by her office hours. A++ :)

Jen is an awesome teacher! Lit 110 is a very basic gen ed class. I took it online and got an easy A. Make sure you participate in the discussion board, read the stories, and write all of the papers. Participation matters but this class is not difficult. Make sure you actually read the stories! The test questions are specific. Highly recommended!

She is an awesome teacher! Her class is very straight forward in what she expects from you. This class alternates between weeks. One week will be a lecture day and the other will be a movie watching day. She is nice and very helpful if you need to get your grade up. I would recommend taking this class to anyone who still needs a fine arts credit.

She cares about her students and will give you good grades if you deserve them. Nothing in this class was that difficult and she was good at clarifying what she wanted. The only thing I didn't like was the amount of small side assignments that we had. There were lots of discussion boards that were not difficult but took lots of time to complete.

Very great teacher! If you follow instructions, which are very clear, and syllabus, you will do great! Extremely helpful! If you need help with anything, she will help! Reviews and tells you what you did wrong on papers and gives pointers for the next! You must work for your grade! You want her as a teacher!!!

Easy online class...I managed to not read anything at all, had my book for every test and had plenty of time to look the questions up. You get 1.5 hours for 25 questions and a few essay. The quizzes are kind of hard, 5-10 minutes for 10 questions. She gives you a study guide that follows quizzes word for word mostly. Shes big on discussion boards.

Overall a very good teacher. She did have lots of busy work with many discussion boards and small assignments that took time but nothing was overly difficult. Had us watch interesting films that helped us understand concepts from the class and the films were enjoyable overall. She was a very good grader as well and gave you what you deserved.

She was very helpful and very involved with her students! Despite being an online course, she tries to simulate a real college environment through her discussion boards. You have to watch about 12 or more films in the semester, so be aware!

Comment:

This wasn't my favorite course, but it was a learning experience. You really have to investigate you teacher's online blackboard site before starting the class. Every online course is going to be a little bit vague, but once you learn about what your professor wants, it will become somewhat easier.
