A's are doable but make sure to get your essay checked by her prior to turning it in. Her quizzes add up, so try to do well. Overall she stay on her good side and do well on your essays to get an A.

She is a very helpful teacher. You can really tell that she wants her students to succeed. As long it you are putting effort in and don't miss too many classes you will do fine.

She's a great professor. Her instructions were pretty clear, and she was always eager to help you further understand. Just putting in a little effort will get you a good grade in her 100 class.

She is a very hard grader. No matter how much effort you put in, she will not give you an "A". No extra credit.

Sweet, nice lady. Thought the class would be harder than it turned out to be. Easy to get an A in if you go to class and to the reading. You only write 3 essays (excluding midterm and final) and there is a quiz on the assigned reading almost every class.

Sweet, old lady. Grade = 15 ten point quizzes that are easy to screw up on and are based off of readings that she assigns for homework, 2 solo essays, 1 fifteen minute group powerpoint presentation, 1 group essay, a reflection essay final and a 25 question final. She okay, take her if you must.

Comment:

Extremely helpful, as long as you actually put effort into your writing, then you will be fine. My only complaint is that sometimes she speaks very softly, so you have to listen very closely. Other than that, she is a very nice sweet old lady. Makes me think that she's the kind of grandma that makes cookies for her grandkids.

Comment:

As with almost every english class, attendance is mandatory and she really takes that seriously. I never could understand her essay grading and the 10 point "little quiz" at the end of every class was so ridiculous and had no real meaning. If you messed up a few questions here and there then you would be screwed.

She is a great teacher! She is fair and up front about what she expects. Students who visit her during office hours will get good advice on how to make essays better.

Comment:

There's 3 essays but 1 of them is a group essay. You're allowed to rewrite 1 of the first 2 essays to boost your grade. First essay is a little difficult since you don't know what she expects but afterwards you're good to go. She's really nice and helpful as long as you try. You're allowed 3 absences and then you're grade decreases but overall good

Comment:

Overall, this is a pretty simple class. There are 3 essays and a ten point quiz every class period. But be careful because the points add up fast most people got 7/10. Before each essay is due GO TO OFFICE HOURS and she will tell you what to fix to get an A. Especially on the first essay! She grades HARD and on weird things...

Try to avoid this lady as much as possible. She is nice, but you have quizzes daily. buddy's of mine took other teachers and by the time they wrote 1 essay we wrote 3 essays. She doesn't grade well. She tells you to meet with her TA and when the TA looks at the paper she tells you "It's fine and looks great!" when you get your papers back you get D

Comment:

She grades kind of strict, specially on the first essay when you really have no idea what she expects out of an essay. The class is alright overall, not too much busy work is always a plus. One group presentation to end the year, but it's easy points. Just do well on those essays and you are good to go!

Mrs. Williams is pretty nice and you only have to write 3 papers. You are allowed to rewrite one paper and you are allowed 4 absences. She is a reasonable grader and always gives feedback.

Comment:

She understands that most people taking RWS305 are only their because you didnt pass the WPA. All over her writing assignments are realistic, like writing a resume and cover letter etc. She is by far the best RWS professor I have ever had. If I ever need help with a paper, she is who I will contact. Awesome Professor

Comment:

shes a cool lady who really wants to help her students. way too many quizzes that are really easy to mess up on. the essays aren't bad and you can rewrite them. she cancels class before they're due so you can stop by her office and have her proofread. not sure if i would take it again but she's very nice. class isnt bad and she likes to go early
