Comment:

Robertson-Rose was fair and helpful. She is very clear and direct about what she expects. Lots of reading, but enjoyable and she lets you know what will be on tests. Summer sessions are very short and condensed but manageable. I enjoyed her class.

Solid choice, P.R.R. is a wonderful and delightful lady, as long as you do your due diligence with timing papers correctly this class is a breeze. Extremely picky with paper structure which seemed to really trip some folks up but Follow Instructions and read your stories, easy A, can wrap up the course by week 11 which rules. #BoringLecturesThough

Comment:

Took her at least a week to post grades. Tests are pretty straight forward as long as you do your readings and use other internet sources to enhance your understanding of the materials. She does nothing to interact with the online student, she makes sure that all instructions are in the syllables so she doe not have to deal them.

Comment:

If you're a great student & follow directions, this class is a cakewalk. Give essays due diligence. I aced EVERY quiz & NEVER received a paper back for corrections. And I HATE English. She'll work with you in special situations, like finding out mid-semester that you already have credit for the course but can't drop it because of financial aid.

I took an online course at ACC and Mrs. Robertson-Rose was very professional. She was very helpful with my writing skills. She provided me some great advice in regards to writing papers. I made a "C" for the course and it was a well earned grade. I received great tools from Mrs. Robertson-Rose. She will help your writing skills. :)

Comment:

I took her class and I advise to stay away unless you have perfect writing skills. Her answers to my questions were short and cold. I wrote the A paper and when I revised what she told me to, she found another thing wrong. I ended up with a B in that class. I personally would not recommend her for the simple fact that she is rude.

Comment:

Very easy class but I was amazed at the unpleasantness and unprofessionalism in which she taught her class and interacted with her students. She spent class time doing crosswords. When approached by students she was ill tempered and sharp. She admitted that she found no particular interest in literature, citing watercolor as her preferred art form

I found the class to be fairly easy and the instructor to be helpful. She answered my questions in a timely manor. Received a B in the class, only because I was lazy and did not write the A paper.

Comment:

As of today the worst teacher I have ever had, possibly the worst person I have met as well! I was the only person who showed up to class, and instead of grading my paper and giving me feedback, she played crossword puzzles the entire time. When I asked her for input, she laughed and said I shouldn't be too hopeful. I'm an A student, who now has a

Horrible. I've never had a professor be so picky. Makes up instructions after receiving your paper & then complains when you haven't included those things. Made me go rewrite several paragraphs of my 'C' test on a whole other story. There was nothing wrong with my paper that would have stopped me from receiving a minimum C, I am an 'A' student.

Comment:

Makes the papers harder than they need to be (7 word doc. sets of instructions for one paper). Usual 5 papers, then C test & beyond. Not a good online teacher, responds rudely and is very picky. I have a 3.5gpa & I don't know if I will be able to get an 'A' in this class if she is 1/2 as picky on the tests as she is on the papers...

Comment:

This professor literally spent an entire class period lecturing on 1st and 3rd person. And this is CompII, meaning you should have learned this in high school. Every class period was similar in boring lectures and everyone in class would either be sleeping or working on other homework. A burned out professor needing to retire.

I took this class online in the fall of 08. She is picky with deadlines, but who isnt? Honestly, the tests are very detailed and hard. I took her Intro to Lit class thinking writing and learning Literature were the key points. Ehhh (buzzer noise), TESTSSSSS!!! Essays & Multiple Choice out the wah-zoo. I got a B. If you like tests, go for it!

I took her online class and all you have is 2 test and 2 papers and thats it. The first test and paper were easy but the 2nd test was poems and it was really really hard. The last paper was ok.. I would recommend her online class. You have like a month to write the papers not bad at all.

Very nice lady who is willing to help. Attendance is mandatory only if you are not getting your papers accepted; otherwise you get every Friday off. There are also three bonus points days where you earn 5 points ( the same as one of the daily reading quizzes). Not very challenging however there is still stuff to be learned in her class.

Comment:

This class drives me insane. I hate it. It's boring and she tells you all the answers she wants to hear. No critical thinking, no fun projects. If you want to spend every class period going over a worksheet for an hour that you could read in 2 minutes and understand, then this class is for you. Otherwise, FIND ANOTHER TEACHER.

She was dull and spacey. Don't expect great things from her. This class is bad enough without a lame teacher.

Comment:

Okay. This lady has been teaching for a long time. And she's burnt out. She's not bad at clarity. At all. She explains too much. She doesn't give the student a chance to think individually. And i think that hurts the learning potential for every student in class. I must admit I like her, but her class is pretty dull.
