Comment:

Took her online last semester and what a WONDERFUL professor! Just do the discussion posts, write your four essays, and take the two exams. There is no reason not to get an A in this class. She responded within hours to all my emails and grades very quickly. I would definitely recommend taking this class!

Comment:

The worst teacher I've had at UCF so far! Her instructions don't make sense and when people complete the assignment wrong, she blames it on our past teachers for not teaching us correctly. She's an english teacher, but she has the worst spelling and doesn't try to correct it. She answers your questions with more questions. Don't take her!

Comment:

She is an ok teacher kind of odd. She knows a lot about writing but outside of that subject she is kind of dense. Most of my questions were replied to with questions, which was sort of confusing. Class was pretty easy. Our main ideas for papers were from a book about a cuban exile which is sort of a crappy topic. BAD SPELLER

The website is very confusing.. if your paper isn't 'great' she wont even look at it. I've taken several online classes before and this is outrageous..im a molecular biology major doing just fine and this class is a lot harder than some of my upper level classes.. don't take her!!

Pansies. So sorry you don't like to write. Better luck next time. You want to know why they call it "composition?" Because you have to compose, i.e. write. Get over it. If you don't want to take 1101/1102 than be smart enough to test out.

Comment:

She purposely gives out too much work and makes the class HARD (92%=A). She can't even spell (check modules/postings). Unnecessary work, I wrote 4 great essays (All A's) and still having to work hard to meet her 92% cutoff. Ease up a bit Kowalski, if you insist on the busy work then set 90% to A!

Comment:

I recommend you not take an online composition class especially with this teacher. I got a B in the course because her grading scale is 92-100 A... should be 90-100 A. If you want an A don't take this teacher because its a lot of work and rememeber you need a 92

Comment:

Took web-based course, got an A. Be careful, though because instructions are very unclear. Prof got unexpecdedly strict for assignments and papers at the very end of the semester- until then, she was pretty laid back. I give her a 5 on a 1-10: Not horrible, not great.

Took the web-based course for ENC 1102. The was A LOT of writing, but as long as you keep up with the assignments, you should get atleast a "B". Many easy points given just for completing surveys, peer responses etc. Take her!! You will learn a

I must have caught her at a bad time. Online version, soo much work -- overwhelming. Provides insight, nice if you do well, not nice if you do bad. I've done both. Took a while to get replies to my questions.

If you enjoy writing take this class.The online version was alot of work, but easy b/c all you need to do is keep up with the postings and add comments to peer work. Her assignments are so vague!! But, call her at home if you have a problem- shes helpful!

I don't know if she does the same subject everytime, but if you are a man hater, this class is for you. Not many options when deciding what you want to research. She is very strict on the Gordon rule requirement.
