Great proffesor! You will definitely pass if you take her. She is very clear on what she assigns and you only have one group presentation.

SUPER EASY. The second easiest English class I have ever taken (take Lesser for the easiest class of your life). Pretty much show up, behave, and turn in your (really easy assignments) and you will get an A. There was a paper every week or couple weeks but they were all a 350 word min (crazy) except for the research paper which was long (but easy).

Well, if all teachers were like Shumate, then perhaps all students would like school. She is different. BETTER! She really cares about learning, and she is willing to help you do the assignment even if you need extra time on the deadline. The class was enjoyable and relaxed. She does not judge your opinions or style of writing.

Comment:

I loved her class. If writing comes easy to you, this is the class for you. If you need to be taught to become a better writer then you best bet is to take a different class. I had her for 120 and I'm taking her again this semester for 124.

This class is easy to get an A, as long as you write your papers. 3 papers, the last one is 10 pages. Good teacher.

Comment:

This is probably the easiest class i ever took on campus. There are only two long papers to write and no final. You only attend class when she tells you and the grading is really straightforward because she tells you exactly what she expects in your papers. Btw, pay attention to MLA format cuz it helps for ENG 124 to know it.

SHE IS THE WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE!!!! She is very mean to students, especially to international students. The class is super boring and she doesnt teach anything. Its funny that she still has a job in the 21th century.

Comment:

I thought she was a very good teacher. There's only two essays in the class and one assignment on the first Harry Potter movie. Excellent class, no required textbook, if you do the work correctly you'll get an A. I recommend her if you know how to write at a college level. I really enjoyed her class!

Comment:

Shumate is the worst Engl teacher i have ever come across. Her papers are on stupid topics, her lectures are useless, and her ability to help her students is zero. The only good thing about her class is that there are no test and you barley need to come to class. If you want to learn or if bad teachers annoy you do not take this class.
