Comment:

Tucker is a very tough grader when It comes to essays and you HAVE to bring them to the writing center in order for her to even accept them. She cancels class for free days which is super helpful for during the work she assigns. Tests are take home!

She is super nice and the classes are very interesting. She gets students involved in discussions a lot. There are many assignments including packets and essays but it is doable, just don't wait until the last minute.

Really not THAT much work, lots of reading. You can find the textbook free online if you look hard enough, you only need it a few times, but it's for homework. There's one group project that is very important. Very understanding, lots of movies. Only two essays, I think. Peer graded. Loved her as a person and teacher.

English 120 with professor Tucker was a breeze. A lot of it was watching movies as well as in class discussions and we had very little homework. In the first half of the semester she gave us very minimal homework and the second half we just had a group project. Very nice lady, easy to talk to, and a wonderful professor overall.

Comment:

This class involves a lot of film watching. If you are looking to improve your writing skills, this is not the place. Midterm and Final are take-homes and are extremely time consuming, they do not require writing skills at all.. just a lot of time. Dont you dare cheat in any of her assignments. The class is a breeze overall but you dont learn much

Great teacher who cares a lot about students, she assigns a lot of homework but mainly we had to write on documentaries which were interesting so it wasn't too bad. Big group project which is fun and stressful. Great for English majors and Critical Thinkers!

Professor Tucker is fantastic! She is fair and does a good job keeping everyone on task to succeed in her class. If you follow instructions and participate, you will succeed. She is very passionate about her curriculum and has an excellent style of teaching! As a veteran most people can't loosen me up, but she did and her class was like family!

Mrs. Tucker is the best professor that I have had. Trust me the first day of class she makes it seem like class is going to be difficult but she is not. If you do the homework you will pass. . Also she gives you plenty of extra credit opportunities. I would ABSOLUTELY take her again!

Make sure you follow the syllabus that's where she assigns the readings and homework! She'll give you a list of books to buy & read on your own and they're important for t midterm, final, group projects, and HW. Midterm and final are take home and work 250+ points so make sure you do the readings and watch her documentaries in and out of class.

Professor Tucker's class is still the best class I have taken at Grossmont. She is a very sweet lady and she grades the essays very easy. There is a lot of reading and group work though. There are a few homework assignments, not difficult at all, that you have to do. I STRONGLY recommend taking her for english 120 if offered.

Comment:

My favorite teacher ever! She is super chill and barely assigned any work the entire semester. Her essays are less about structure and more about the writing, so make sure you write about something you're interested in. She gives you like a million prompts to choose from, so there's sure to be one you like. Definitely taking her classes again!

Take her class! This class is very opinion based, so even though you write a lot its easy writing. She can be very confusing at times because she expects you to turn in hw assigned on her calender even though she doesn't mention. She's nice, lenient, you'll learn a lot, and get close to your classmates!

Comment:

If you need Eng124 for GenEd but won't ever need to use it in the future, take her class. If you are interested in learning about current and historical social justice topics, and debating other students in a calm, intelligent setting without the teacher promoting one opinion over another, take her class. Also there is loads of extra credit.

Comment:

Easy A... Easy A.. Easy A. Write some essays she gives you full points or you can re do it. Lenient on due dates. One Essay that I kinda put some effort into.. You won't learn a thing about english, but a lot about society, its flaws, and non-violent protest. Take her, you will only have to go to about half of the scheduled classes anyways...

This is a themed class and this professor is very passionate. She cancelled class a lot, but even if that wasn't the case, this class would still be easy. There are 4 major homework packets and 3 essays. You do watch many videos, but some are quite interesting. Also note that she requires rough drafts to be edited at the writing center.

Comment:

Last reviewer obviously know what they're talking about since they "reviewed" her for a class she doesn't even teach! Tucker is amazing. She treats you like an adult and expects you to act like one. I learned so much about critical thinking and life from her. I am also a strong writer and she improved both my writing and world views. Recommended.
