Comment:

You have a reading response to do twice a week. DO NOT make eye contact with her or she will randomly call on you to answer a question infant of the class. She makes you read out loud to the class, you have 3 group projects to do. You only have 2 absent days (excused OR unexcused). I would not recommend her, her voice is annoying too.

Comment:

The Professor is very unorganized and unable to convey the structure of the class to students. She gives feedback, then teaches you to do the exact opposite the next day. The class is not structured for students to succeed. I really would like a different professor to help her make this class better, so I could learn more.

Comment:

Had her for a fiction workshop, which she doesn't normally teach. Spent a lot of time reading and responding to readings online, and doing a lot of in-class material. Is a tough critic for your writing, so you should have a thick skin or develop one quickly. Not a fun professor, but one that makes you work for your grade.

Comment:

Maddox-Hafer LOVES English. Her class isn't hard. She gives you a syllabus in the beginning of the semester which tells you everything you'll be doing throughout the year. It's all straight forward. Make sure to do the D2L's and readings because those are a big part of your grade.

Comment:

Prof. Maddox-Hafer REALLY likes English. Be extremely wary of your grammar mistakes. Generally gives enough time to get essays done, but still a lot of work. Gives a large amount of busy work on D2L. Many times does not announce exactly when things are happening. USE YOUR SYLLABUS. Leaves lots of comments on graded essays.

Comment:

The absolute worst professor I ever had. She picks favorites so if you aren't a favorite don't expect her to help you with anything. I only took this class because it was mandatory. She acts as if it were a class for your major. She's very stuck up & expects everyone to love literature as much as she does. TAKE THIS CLASS WITH A DIFFERENT PROFESSOR

Very nice lady. Just one of the hardest Professors i have ever had. nothing is perfect to her. she tore apart a New York Times article because it had things wrong in it. She tears apart your essays also. she expects a lot out of you. No matter how hard you try its not good enough for her

Get ready to dedicate 2ish hours before each class and even more for essays. So much busy work from D2L responses, critiques, online quizzes, essays, and whatever else you have to do. Aside from the work, she is a very nice person with great intentions and will no doubt help you if you need it. Good luck and NEVER EVER skip a class.

Comment:

This professor is a nice person, but gives extreme amounts of busy work. two to three hours of homework after each class. Weekly D2L assignments, and poems due every week. But the thing that is most worth knowiing, is that she is INCREDIBLY unclear in her directions and expectations. Often tmes half the class did not know that something was due.

Comment:

Although not the most fun and English isn't my forte, she's a good TEACHER, but not a fun teacher. She's very nice though if you don't give any attitude and try hard. Reading the books makes it 10x easier. Be nice and she'll be nice back. People expect an easier class but it is an honors level english class.

Comment:

She was helpful when you needed help but the class was very boring. She loves to make the class teach instead. If you take her class you do not have to attend class but she will deduct points after a few missed classes. It is more helpful when you actually attend her class because she explains things. She also loves using D2L!

Comment:

I thought Professor Maddox's class was a lot of work and she was never very clear on the assignments. The tests would take longer than the class period and were a ton of writing. The Presentations she would give us like a week to prepare for, and we presented in groups. One of the most boring classes i have sat through.

She's nice enough, and the essays are pretty easy. Picks favourites-- stay on her good side. Class presentations are alright, but she likes to interrupt. Does online quizzes and never talks about them-- annoying, really. The midterms/finals are way too long. (Takes 3+hours for the final.)

Comment:

The best professor I have ever had. I learned more in her class than I have ever learned in any class. Also, this is the first class since middle school that I actually read the assigned books. If you get the chance to take class with her, definitely take it. You will not regret it. I know I haven't.

Dr. Maddox is a great teacher who is good at what she does. However, be prepared to work. She requires you to put forth effort to succeed, but the work is manageable. I enjoyed her class, but I am glad it is over.
