Dr. Fitzwilliam is amazing! I usually struggle to pass english classes, but she made the class a breeze. She challenges the students to do their best, and is willing to help you throughout the writing process. It is impossible to get lower than an A. As long as you participate, do the work, and let her look over your papers, you will do well.

Prof Fitz is okay. Her assignments are pretty easy and as long as you stick to her vague-ish prompt. Has a daily reading assignment, but its not too bad. Easy to pass? yes. Did it make me grow as a writer? Not really

Didn't like her at first, but as the semester went she became more friendly. Get ready to write many papers, all of different styles and topics. She is honestly a good teacher but is a hard grader. Definitely need to try hard to do well.

Dr. Fitzwilliam is great! There is no tests just papers. She gives you tons of class time to work on papers and for the major papers, she will meet with each student individually to discuss their draft. If you send her your entire draft make all the changes she suggests, you will get an A! Put in effort, come to class and you will do very well

Comment:

She is not terrible but there is a LOT of writing in this class. All the other English 110 classes are reviewing movies, and this class we wrote over 6 papers. She is nice but is a tough grader when it comes to ridiculous things. If you decide to take her don't drop but be ready for some work!

Fitzwilliam is simply a wonderful professor. Her class is mostly discussion-based and the readings are easy. Her main goal is to make you a better writer. She gives very helpful feedback in conferences and she's more than willing to look over other papers too, which I would highly recommend! Overall she's super nice and has a great sense of humor!

Comment:

She constantly gives pop quizzes that everyone fails and doesn't understand that if everyone is failing, something else must be going on with her lectures. Doesn't give a lot of work to help those grades go up.

Fitzwilliam is the BEST. Not only has she been extremely helpful with my development as a writer but she also shows a great deal of patiencecompassion. Before taking her English 110 class, I couldn't write a paperessay to save my life. (400 on my writing sat) But now i am extremely confident in my ability as a writer now. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Love, love, love her! She's super nice and makes sure her students understand everything clearly. It's an easy class if you just put in the effort, which is not a whole lot. Probably my favorite teacher.

One of my favorite professors I've had so far. Lots of reading and writing, but they're easy for the most part. Material is interesting. She's super helpful and approachable w/ a cool accent. Attendance is very mandatory. But I was sick a lot of the semester and she helped me out. Learned SO much. Def take her!!

Best english teacher at CofC! She goes over the material so thoroughly that you know exactly what to expect on the tests. Extremely easy class if you attend fairly regularly and take notes. She is very willing to help and makes class interesting. Mostly discussion based.

Good professor. Interesting reading assignments that aren't ridiculously long, and stimulating lectures. Two tests and final on reading assignments. Seven little papers. One big paper towards the end. Not incredibly difficult, but I felt like I learned alot as well. She expects you to talk during discussions so definitely do the readings every time

What an awesome lady! She truly does care how her students do and if they understand. A lot of reading and papers, but most of it is interesting. Classes are enjoyable. There is almost no way to fail this lady's class if you show up and do the work because she is such a good professor. You will learn a lot and it will not be painful!

Comment:

Dr. Fitzwilliams is the only person who has ever made British Literature interesting for me. Her class is very much focused on class discussion so speak up. She is very insightful and very nice. Her two essays weren't that bad neither were her final and midterm would definitely take her again. I love her and her class!
