Comment:

She was, by far, the laziest college teacher I have ever had. Sure, it was an online class, but that makes teacher involvement even more important. There were no online forums, almost no teacher involvement whatsoever in this class. I emailed her a couple times with questions and received terse non-answers that just repeated the syllabus. Lame.

Comment:

She's a great teacher very personable and friendly. She seems to be an easy grader but it is only 105 after all. All you had to do was online forums and essays and that was about it. She did miss a lot of days during the semester which became bothersome for me (I know I'm a geek), however whn she can back she made up for missed days well. She gives overtly clear directions it would be hard not to pass this class, if your an english speaking person.

Wendy is a good professor. COMMUNICATION IS KEY. She wants participation in class! Do it! Very helpful when you're in communication with her. She isn't harsh at all, but will critique you if you'd like. Take time to listen to her in class. She's actually a rather entertaining character! Taking English 1 w/ her next semester.

Comment:

I took Ms Greenstein online and found it to be very simple. There is one essay based on articles from the textbook that is due every week. At the end of the semester, we do in in-lab final that is based on an article she hands out.

Comment:

I was in her online English 2 class. She never posted announcements and was very helpless when I would email her with questions. Online classes can be difficult as it is, but with no help from a professor, it's even more difficult to get a decent grade. Her communication skills are very lacking which is inappropriate in an online class

Comment:

This class is a big load b/c u have to read LONG stories every week then write essays and respond to 3 other ppl's essays. Once u get the hang of it though, it gets easier. She doesn't give feedback though on your essays and didn't give me clear answers when I'd email her w/ questions.

Comment:

Not especially hard since she's an easy grader, but an essay every week plus the readings, which some are very long, and it becomes tedious and tiresome. You then have to reply to 3 other students in the forums. A waste of time. Avoid the class if possible. She also doesn't give much feedback, if any. Seems like she doesn't do any work at all.

Comment:

Her class was direct and pretty easy. We had to complete an essay a week, which seemed like a lot at first but it ended up being easy. It was great practice. Writing essays comes easier to me now. There were no test and she dropped the 3 lowest essay grades. So you could literally skip 3 of the essays.

Great easy class. One 600 word response paper due online and 3 reviews of other students work. Very easy class, she lets you miss 3 assignments. Easy A

I took this class online and it was a lot of work. There was an essay due every week plus 4 other extra long essays due throughout the semseter. While this class was hard Mrs. Greenstein was always there to give me advice on how to improve things. If you're looking for an easy A avoid but if you want a challage this is the class for you.

Comment:

She is unclear& doesn't communicate much with her students. I've taked other online classes before, and teachers would always e-mail me and stuff. I made an appointment with her and she made me feel like I was wasting her time or something. She kept asking why I didn't just e-mail her. I got Bs, did what she told me to do and I still get Bs.

Comment:

It is difficult to know what she wants from you. When she answers your questions the answers are not always clear...and she doesn't always answer, even if you ask more than once. Her comments can be frustrating. It seems as if she doesn't read the papers thoroughly, which can be to your disadvantage. She seems nice, but is not an "easy" teacher

I took the online class. She rarely communicated one-on-one. She would send a broadcast email to everyone telling how poor WE did. Answered questions with questions; facetiously.

I love english and literature so this was a very interesting class to me. I found Wendy's responses to be clear and prompt. The essays in MLA form she assisted with. The subjects were extremely interesting. I would recommend anyone interested in literature to take her course. Easy? What does that mean in college?

Comment:

An exercise in agony. Unclear, with the most subjective and ill-informed responses to papers that you can imagine. She missed 4 days of class during the semester with no explanation, and her lectures were mind numbing at best.

Comment:

I took her online course. I would turn in assignments and request my grade, and she would claim that she already emailed me my grade. She was very unorganized. She seemed one week like she didn't expect much, and then the next weeek she would email everyone in the class and wonder how they got this far in English. I do not reccommend her at all
