Comment:
AVOID if you love yourself. Do not take if you aren't an English major or a senior. Tough grader regardless of its status as a 100 level course, so become familiar with the writing studio. You must read, do not skim, you will not pass a quiz if you do. We did two papers that were torturous, two projects that saved me, and numerous quizzes failed :(

Comment:
She expects everyone to be a literature genius. She doesn't care why you missed class and will fail more than half her class. Excused doctors notes counts as regular absences. She gives a lot of work that is really time consuming.

Comment:
This professor expects that every person must be a literary genius. The way she teachers grammar is unclear, gives unhelpful and numerous assignments, and grades unfairly and unreasonably. You can use all the resources on campus to fix your writing, and it will not be good enough. I strongly advise to not take this professor. Lowers overall GPA.

Professor Ray makes you work for your grade, & she's not willing to give out A's easily. You have 4 papers to write, & they're not too long. She is VERY big on grammar! She gives a lot of homework. She is definitely willing to help, & she loves when you go to her office hours. The class drags on. She is very sweet, but take someone else if you can.

She's a sweet lady, definitely. But the work is annoying. She gives you like one-three hours worth of work a night. She also isn't clear on what she expects for her papers.

Comment:
Dr. Ray made going to her class feel like a prison sentence. She gives 3-5 grammar exercises and 2 article summaries everyday. That's not too awful but when you add a pre-writing, outline, and 3 page rough draft on top of it with a 2 days notice it's tortuous. Asked for help & she handed me my paper and said "good luck." Hard grader. Awful class.

Dr. Ray is very passionate about the material in the Romantics class. The course work is difficult but rewarding in the end and she is very helpful if you have any questions!

She is tough to handle because of her grading strategy;however,she is helpful during her office hours. I enjoy her teaching,personally, but I feel she could accumulate leniency in terms of grading because we all aren't born writers!

Dr. Ray is an extremely good editor and a respectable teacher. If you do not want to put time into your work, DO NOT take her class. She gives you the opportunity to become a much better writer.

Worst teacher of my entire life. Makes you feel stupid if you ask a question, so I wouldn't necessarily call her "helpful". WAY too much work. 3pg paper, 2 essay reflections, 3 book exercises, and a 20 question interview due in ONE night. Drop this class or you will regret it.

Dr. Ray knows her stuff and WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER WRITER. She's tough because she expects QUALITY. I'm not even an english major and I would love to take more classes with her. You will appreciate her class later on. Freshman who have her for Comp need to shut up.

Dr. Ray is not an easy professor, but she will make you a better writer. If you take the time to go to her office, she will help you. If you are committed to learning, she's a great professor. She knows 18th Century British Lit very well. I would love to have another class with her.

A lot of people don't like her but she is committed to making you a better writer; although she is very strict and will push you beyond your comfort zone, she does care. She is always open to discussion and, if you show an effort, and go see her during office hours, she will help you as much as she can to improve.

I thought this would be an easy class to take online in the summer... WRONG! Don't take it if you have a summer job or a social life. Requires hours of work each week and she grades horribly! Her essay topics don't even make sense & her deadlines are unrealistic. Stay away if you can!

Dr. Ray is one of the worst professors I've had in my time at ESU. She shows favoritism and is very arrogant at times. Try not to get her.

By far the worst professor I have had at ESU in my 4years. Class overall is not challenging. Ray is an unfair grader...has no set way of grading your papers. Shows great bias toward students..tried to call me out for plagerism bc i used "colonialism"!ha she's a miserable woman who should find a new career that she doesn't hate as much.
