She is absolutely crazy. "COMMA!!!" she's always repeating things and keeps wating to "shift gears." Definitely stay away. I'd say a good continent apart should do.

Comment:

This woman is a terrible teacher and should retire immediately. Her prompts are uninspiring, and excessively broad. Her critiques are useless and confusing. Prior to this class I had never received a grade lower than an "A" on any paper...I passed ONE of her papers. Worst teacher I have EVER had. Stay as far away from her class as possible.

Comment:

She is a horrible teacher. She only wants it her way, which is stupid because English is subjective. She grades way too harshly. Half the class failed, when most of the class got a B or better in ENG 114. Don't take her!!!!!

Comment:

This women is really nuts. She grades SOO hard no joke. There are countless things she does wrong. She makes you kill a tree with all the useless paperwork also. I went to 2 conferences on my time and she still said my paper was worth nothing. I barely passed with a C, im sure there are many who did not. comments make no sense on essays.Stay AWAY!!

Comment:

This woman is as bad of a teacher as they come. She is the pickiest person about everything. She assumes that you don't know anything and doesn't care about other people's opinions. If you take her, you'll be "shifting gears" forever. Take her as the VERY LAST option.

Comment:

This lady is a bad teacher and it seems that she likes to fail her students. I know when I took her class she had only passed about half the class because everyone didn't get high enough grades on the last two essays. I'm glad I took it for C/NC because she doesn't give many chances and she wasted an entire semester for a lot of students.

Comment:

I cmae to class everyday and participated highly and didn't pass. I know people who showed up a couple of times a week and passed the class. Nothing you do in the class matters if you don't write the last 2 papers in a way that she agrees with. She is unflexible and cannot accept views besides her own. An ignorant person and a terrible professor.

Comment:

By far the worst teacher I've ever had. Not simply in the category of English but teaching in general. It doesn't really matter if I recieve an A or an F, it won't change the utter waste of a semester that I invested in her unorganized class. She grades unlike any COLLEGE teacher I've ever had. Doesn't grade papers, so she can be lazy, retire!

Comment:

She is a hard but fair teacher. Very helpful during office hours, always willing to give any feedback. Trimble book really useful, definetly helped my writing skills. Essays at first seemed irrelevant and unimportant, but soon realized they had deeper meanings. Good teacher if you want to improve writing abilities.

class is completely pointless but you have to go because she grades on attendance. if you want to get an A good luck. Really nice person, just not a great teacher, take someone else.

Comment:

Susan is actually a lot cooler than she looks. She starts out hard core, but really she is a softie. If you need ANY help ask for it because if you go to her office hrs she pretty much outlines your whole essay....big help! She is a stickler with attendance though.

Comment:

This Prof. was very helpful for me when I took her class, however, it is very hard to earn an "A" in her class.She never feels that you have done well enough. I earned a "B+" in the course and was satisfied because I worked really hard. She is very nice and willing to help out her students.

Bronstein is extremely unclear. I worked my ass off and got a C with no real understanding of why she didn't like what I wrote. I love writting and she didn't like what I wrote.

Comment:

She is a hard grader, but she tells you what she wants from you. I never got above a B and I worked really hard. Lots of class participation which I normally hate but you get used to it. Turned out to be one of the better English classes I've taken.

Not clear. Repeats herself at office hours, but refuses to give specifics. She either likes your style or she doesnt, just hope she likes yours...

Very helpful and understanding, reasonable amount of work (nothing too horrible), gives clear feedback and lets you know exactly what she's looking for in your assignments.
