One of the most moving Professors I have ever taken. Very dedicated to her students, and tried to give her attention for all. I have learned so much from taking this class! It is a very hard class because it consists of a lot of reading/writing homework. If you want to learn something this is the class for you. Amazing Professor overall!

Comment:

The professor spend much of her time talking on what the students will learn , but at the end nothing is really taught to the students. There is no material's teaching strategy. Botom line, if one looking for learning, he or she must look for another professor.

Very discouraging. Not a fun class to take at all. Hardly helps students and quickly throws assignments everyday. Do NOT take this class.

The information she teaches is moving, and she is a very caring teacher. Never hesitate to ask for help from her and she goes above for her students. Also, offers tutoring sessions with her personally. Fast-paced class, but if you put in the work you will do good.

Circle is an AMAZING instructor! If you are lazy then you will not do good in her class. She gives up so much of her time to help with students. I suggest if she gives you an essay, you go to her for help instead of the library. She grades tough, but really gets you ready for 101. She really cares about her students, and them passing!

Comment:

It was very hard to understand what the teacher wanted from you, many of times communication lacked on her end. She would get frustrated with the class if we didn't understand what she was trying to tell us. first sem Eng 45, understand it is a combo of two courses, will be a lot of writing and reading. ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS

Comment:

She is okay. She is there to listen to you if you have questions. She has rules as if you are two years old like not being able to go to the bathroom until break. Her class seems passable but if you have to take a English I would take a different instructor like Miss Gilbert. Its more of does she fit for you she is a decent instructor.

Ever since I took her class, I compare all other teachers to her. She will go over your papers with you, not just glancing but actually providing real helpful feedback - which you don't get from many college professors. Ultimately, she will make you a better writer. And it's an English class so yeah there's going to be a lot of reading and writing.

took this as a combined 49 and 50 class. a lot of essays. she helped explain clearly of what was expected in an essay. Fast paced class so be prepared to do a lot of work. although it is difficult it is worth doing the combined class. she really does help out a lot. i recommend taking her. Textbook needed. Must show up to class.

Comment:

Although she is a tough grader and there is a lot of homeworkessays, i would still recommend her. she fully prepares you for the next step which is 101. i took her englihs 49 and 50 combined class so there was a lot of work in a short amount of time. im sure if it was a longer time period that her class would be a lot easier.

Comment:

She's a great teacher, but I wouldn't recommend this class to anyone that struggles with English. She's an extremely tough grader, but she's preparing you for the next step, which for my class, the next step was 101. She's really helpful and gives great feedback. This class was mainly just essay after essay, so beware of that.

Comment:

Shelley was very helpful. I took this class as a fast paced 8 week course and I still left feeling confident for Eng 101. She always had open hours and would stay after classes to edit your essays with you. She is a somewhat hard grader, but if you follow the assignment guidelines then you'll do fine. Her class really isn't as scary as it seems.

This professor is very good and she is very helpful. She always is open to her office hours and always checks her emails. She is also flexible with making appointments to get help. Her essay are average and some are easy. She is the professor who wants her students to succeed and pass. So, for students who need to take English 50, take her.
