Comment:

Attendance matters a lot in this class, she does a lot of in class assignments so it's fairly easy if you attend class and pay attention. She is definitely one of the more tough grading professors I have had for a writing class. She is pretty straight to the point and rules are strict.

Comment:

Well considering she has a doctorate in rhetoric, there's a LOT to learn from her. She gives excellent feedback. If she points out something, fix it and do it. She is a tougher teacher but the learning experience is worth it. This class doesn't teach you to just write papers either; it teaches you to think.

Comment:

Embarrassed me in front of my whole class by using a piece of my essay (not before completely editing it to make it unclear and confusing) and then promptly told the whole class that I make her job hard. Stuck in her older generational ways and thinks young people are pessimistic. $130+ text book, no time to write drafts/essays

I really enjoyed Dr. Lewan's class. If you participate in class and act like you care, you will do very well in her class. You will learn a lot and your writing will definitely improve.

Comment:

Dr. Lewan is tough but so helpful. She pushes you, even in an intro class. I honestly didn't think I'd learn anything from this class, but I was wrong. If you show up and are willing to work, she will support and nurture you. I adore her!

Wonderfully charismatic Doctor of Philosophy. Be punctual, attentive and DO NOT SKIP CLASS! If you follow these BASIC guidelines as well as maintain a level of humility and mutual respect... Also, complete the work properly and on-time, you will pass; leaving as a better writer.

Comment:

I get A's on every paper I write. Dr. Lewan gave me my first B and I hated her for it. She ended up being the best professor I had at ACC because she cared about me enough to make me a better writer. She does grade tough but if you love to write, take this course and you won't regret it! I have the utmost respect for her and love her sarcasm

Comment:

I took English 121 over the summer semester. It was a lot of work. Dr. Lewan expects her students to pay attention to detail! If you check in every day, read the directions for the assignments carefully, and implement her suggestions for improvement, you will do well. I enjoyed the class and feel I am a better writer.

Comment:

This class was not easy and you absolutely have to work for your grades. There is quite a bit of peer grading, which was very helpful and also gave me insight into other student's work. The grading guidelines were very detailed and clear, and many ignored it, leading to poor grades. Her feedback was extensive.

Comment:

I took this class online and am not particularly interested in English classes in general. However, this course was relatively easy for me and I received high grades on my essays. Others have mentioned that she is an extremely tough grader, but I did not notice this as I received A's on my essays and assignments. I personally had no issues.

Comment:

I have taken many Honors English classes and I found this "basic" class to be very difficult. The directions for assignments were unclear and when Dr. Lewan would send an update regarding the assignment, the criteria changed. I thought her grading was very harsh. She is certainly a stickler for the dynamics of writing and no creativity is allowed.

Comment:

Dr. Lewan is one of my favorite teachers at ACC. I cannot understand all of the comments that say she is rude or condescending, even when you voice a differing opinion. I did such many times, and we still got along immensely well. She is a very intelligent teacher, I learned a lot from her, and she is a joy to discuss issues with. Take her class!

If you want to be a better writer + you are willing to work hard,take Dr. Lewan's class. After getting my first "b" on a paper. I nearly hated her, but I grew to love her.I took her class knowing it may be a bit of a challenge and I am so glad I did. I learned so much and feel like my writing could be published now thanks to her.

Comment:

Lindsay has had a sassy and difficult classroom to deal with this semester and I think she is doing as well as anyone could under these circumstances. The class is not easy, but it is because she holds her students to high standards and wants to see us do our very best.

I was so looking forward to this class, in the beginning. I enjoy writing, after all. Unfortunately, this teacher is boring, rude, and is unwilling to help her students. Do not take this class, it is unnecessarily difficult.

Dull and unhelpful. Homework is assigned with little instruction. This class comes with little joy, and I enjoy English courses.

Comment:

Dr. Lewan is one of the best teachers on campus at ACC. She's a genuinely nice person and will be happy to talk to you during office hours about improving your writing. I took her english 121 class and enjoyed it so much I'm now taking 122 from her. She'll definitely make you a better writer!

Comment:

She is a very intelligent and educated professor but she will most certainly call you out when you're wrong. It is basically her way or the highway. The work that she assigns isn't too hard but she has high expectations and is an extremely hard grader. I would not suggest her.

Very hard to get what she wants you to fully understand.. willing to talk with students after class and help understand something before it was do. The negative was she wont respond quickly to emails
