Comment:

This is the WORST english class I have ever taken. She is so disorganized, due dates are not clear and once we were behind in her syllabus she never adjusted it, including when our midterm portfolio was due. She also grades hw on an "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" basis, so even if you do it, you don't get credit until she is satisfied with the work

Comment:

Lee Torda is the most caring professor at BSU. At the end of each semester, she always says "once you are my student you are always my student." I have found this to be 100% true. After the semester is over I still go to her for school advice, for guidance, and simply sometimes to talk. Torda is my person, and I'm sure she could be yours too!

Comment:

Great professor. Great adviser. Great Mentor. And above all, great person. She will go above and beyond to help her students succeed, and will truly inspire you to be the best student, writer, and person you can be. A 350 character comment cannot fully entail how much Dr. Torda has changed my life. She is truly amazing.

Comment:

Torda is the best professor at BSU, no questions asked. She gives excellent feedback, she is caring and passionate, and she truly wants all of her students to succeed. She is also really funny (in a goofy, Torda sort of way) which allows for classes to always be interesting. I love her, I love her classes, and I highly recommend that you take her!

Comment:

This woman is the most caring and inspiring teacher I have ever had. She is really goofy, but at the same time very professional, and it is really rare to find a teacher that can balance those two things. Work load is heavy, but if you do all of it she rewards you big time. I would recommend her to anyone!

Comment:

this is suppose to be a class to help u become ready for college level, it feels like you are in an AP class. If youre not use to managing 3 different papers (3-5 pages each) at once due weekly and getting youre other work done for other classes DO NOT take her as a teacher for this class. She does not really like to go over directions either.

Comment:

Professor Torda is an energetic and outgoing teacher. I've always hated English until this class, she made me want to show up and participate. She gives 4 papers and about 10 little papers that are real easy. Her grading is very clear and accurate. Torda goes out of her way and truly cares for each and every student. Absolutely recommend her!

Comment:

Professor Torda came in to teach our class after our previous professor passed away. She has done an amazing job, and you can tell she truly cares about her students. She is always willing to meet with you one on one to go over a draft, and is very helpful when doing so. I highly recommend this professor!

Comment:

Best professor at BSU. She makes you work hard, but through the hard work your writing and reading skills sharpen immensely, which helps so much once you move on to other classes. She is also the kindest person ever, and she truly cares about all her students. Do yourself a favor and take her!

Comment:

Best teacher I've ever had so far! Came off as kind of intimidating but she really isn't at all. What I loved the most about her is instead of just giving you a grade she has these conferences and writes these letters where she tells you what you did right and what you need to work on. She also truly cares about all her students which is great!

There is a lot of reading and writing, but it did help a lot with improving my writing. I really felt like she cared about me and was a very easy person to talk to. She truly wants each and every one of her students to succeed. She also loves Star Wars, so that just proves she is awesome.

Comment:

LT is hands down my favorite teacher of all time. She truly cares about the students, which is the most important quality you should be looking for in a teacher. She's not super strict on anybody, but she doesn't do well with slackers. This class had a decent amount of work, but nothing super hard. I would recommend her to anybody!

I absolutely love LT, she is so down to earth and is always there for her students. There are only 4 major papers that she allows you to revise. The class does require a good amount of work but it is easy and LT makes it worth it. There aren't any test or quizzes. Basically put effort in and you will pass.

She was a great professor to have. She makes you do a lot of little things through out the semester but it is all manageable and i feel like she grades you on the effort you put into it. I am planning on taking another class with her soon. She is awesome, nice and really does care about her students! I would recommend her.

Torda is an excellent hilarious professor. While some assignments were not entirely clear, she was more than willing to help students understand course material. She approaches her students' learning lovingly and it really shows through her unwavering dedication and friendliness.

I absolutely love Lee Torda. She is an amazing professor with a great sense of humor. Her class is very accommodating. Her class does require a lot of work, but were already over halfway through the semester and I can already see huge improvements with my writing. I would suggest taking her course!

Comment:

Professor Torda is the most eloquent and poised member of BSU (besides Curley). I took her writing 301 class and was blown away. We read heavily between handouts and textbooks, but it wasn't an impossible load. Each class was composed of heavy discussions and a student presentations. I gained more confidence in my writing. Take her classes!!!!!!!!!
