Comment:

Great teacher for 101, I suggest taking her because she really does make you a better writer. I recommend going to her office hour. she is clear on what she wants on her essay, you just have to look beyond the text.

I loved this class; it was very informational and improved my writing tremendously. It is very easy to get an A and if you don't quite understand a subject she will help you. I will be looking back at this courses material for the future because of the great work and handouts she provides that really help you write a good paper.

Comment:

She assigns a ton of essays and some minor reading assignments. She is picky with her essays and can be very confusing. She will assign an essay topic and then after its due she will tell you how she wants it in more detail, AFTER its due. I wouldnt take her class again.

She's a tough grader, so if you do not have a strong writing background it is extremely difficult to get an A. She is very picky about the type of writing she is looking for. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Comment:

She gives you lots of time to work on assignments in class. Essays assigned are usually short in length but she cares about the content. You read short stories for the most part and practice lots of analysis. You do a lot of group work/discussion which isnt so bad but make sure you participate often

Comment:

I'm a good writer and very picky about teachers. English professors tend to give out far more work than they should. Ms. Weatherford realizes this and is very generous when it comes to necessary essay extensions. I ended up with a B only because of lack of participation in the online discussions. Participate and show effort. An easy A.

Took her for ENG99, earned an A, so took her for ENG100 and felt that she didn't prepare me for that class at all. She is very nitpicky on your papers and doesn't help as much if you go to her office hours. She loves having discussions with the class but can get political (she's a democrat). I would recommend her for people who love English

Don't let her syllabus fool you, she's very nice and caring if you email her about your absences. Very pleasant, and willing to help everyone in any possible way, even if it's adjusting her own schedule.

Comment:

The material we learned in this class was interesting. However there is no rhyme or reason to how she grades. No breakdown showing what she will deduct pts for. She does get political in class which can get a bit uncomfortable if you aren't a Democrat. There is no need for that in an English class... Overall though she is a great prof. though.

Going into this class, my initial thought was I just needed this for my GE. I thought I would DREAD this class, but it turns out I really enjoyed it! Very lenient on letting you re-write essays if you go to her office hours. She made class enjoyable and entertaining!!! 10/10, would take again.

Comment:

Typically I dread writing 6 page essays, but I was always so excited to write for this class because the topics were so interesting. She is a tough grader, but she is also fair. She offers help in class, as well as in her office hours. We only needed 2 books and they were just a few bucks each. I would highly recommend Prof. Weatherford!

I took professor Weatherford for eng 100 and 101! She is literally the best English professor that I've ever had! Her essay prompts and the books / text she chooses are very interesting! If you're not a strong writer she is always available during office hours to help! Believe me, if you put in the effort you can get an A easily! She also rounds!

Professor Weatherford is OUTSTANDING! I've had her for English 99, 100, and I'm currently taking her for 101. She's so interactive and has this awesome connection with her students. Her grading is a little tough, but she pushes you to do well. Many students love her because of her unique humor. Take advantage of her office hours! She notices that!

She is a tough grader but tells you what you need to work on to improve. I learned a lot from this class. 4 essays-1 debate or essay for final. Class went by fast as well. She is clever as well. Her essay's have a lot of requirements.

I for one hate English, but Weatherford makes it interesting and fun for you to understand how to write essays. Make sure you attend class because everyday you learn something new that will help you progress on your writing skills. If you are struggling make sure to go to her office hours. Will definitely take her for 100 and 101

I took her over the summer (summer 2015) and my class was small so it was very easy to participate in class discussion. She really enjoys hearing your opinion. I thought she was easy I believe we had 3 essays and I got an A on 2 and a B on 1. We did a lot of group work and it was a fun class! Would definitely take her again.

I mean, I could've worked harder, but she's a tough grader. And she expects you to come to class 110% ready. 4 essays, random quizzes, a group project for the final. If you're willing to work, she's good. If you wanna skate through, not so much.

Very easy class! Great teacher and cares about her students. If you're not good at english or hate reading and writing like me, take her class. No long books, and only like 4 essays.
