Prof. Tolan is an excellent professor. Took flex 2 online. Assignments and papers are manageable. She is clear on submitting discussions and providing grading rubric for assignments and papers. Gives good feedback, and responds to questions. You do need to put in the work to earn the grade. I'd recommend taking her class.

I recommend taking this course with professor Tolan. I loved her class, the work is manageable and she will work with you. I like the fact that she is all about second chances. It was a flex course and I got an A. Very doable and i would definitely take another class with her.

I took flex course, so there was a lot of work but it was manageable. Although online, she makes the course upbeat and very interactive. I thoroughly enjoyed this class. I would recommend her for English courses especially those tight on time and needing an online class. She is very responsive to emails. Just do the work and you will be fine.

Ms. Tolan is a great professor, she presents the material clearly, and she guides you through it as well. This course does require a lot of participation, but it helps you do better in the class and in the essay papers. I enjoyed this course and I would take it again!

Professor Tolan is a great teacher. Took her class online as a Flex course. At first the discussions seemed to be a lot but once you get used to them its not that bad. She provides feedback which helps a lot. She is very fair and helpful. I would recommend taking her class.

This was a solid class. Prof Tolan is an amazing teacher and I actually learned a lot of things. She is caring and super responsive. I just wouldn't recommend taking a flex course with her because it really was a lot of work. I would take her class again though

Professor Tolman is an amazing professor and an even more amazing person. I was sad when this class ended. The class I took was creative writing and I grew SO much as a writer. This professor insoles and teaches with heart and wisdom.

Although she's across as pretty decent, her grading system is the worst and directions are so unclear. I took a Flex II class with her but, I was prepared for the worst. I wouldn't recommend taking her for any online class.

She is such a great teacher! If you miss a dead line she will still let you turn stuff in with no points taken off. Lets you re-do papers often. Great teacher!

Professor Tolan is one of the best professors I have ever had, hands down. I'm not gonna lie, the class was not easy with all the writing, but I believe that was mostly because I took an 8-week class. She was engaging, patient, and understanding, and was with us all the way. I really appreciate her and strongly recommend her.

I took this flex, so having a lot of readingpapers was expected. I was initially overwhelmed with the amount of work, but it was so much fun. The readings were interesting and the assignments helped me to tap into my creativity. Even if you don't need this class, I would recommend it with Denise. I have never met her face-to-face, but she is fun!

Took her online; excellent teacher. She was very involved, very positive and helpful. Online courses are often hard to connect as a class but she did a great job pulling us together! Loved this class and wish she taught Am Lit II

Good teacher, but if you work, or have other obligation, I don't suggest taking this class online! You have new assignments every Wednesday, and everything must be turned in by this day as well. The work isn't hard, but it can seem like a lot. Overall, good teacher.

Love Mrs. Tolan!! My all time favorite teacher EVER! I had her for online Flex I class in spring and I was amazed at how detailed and organized she was. Also, she fostered a positive online class community which is hard to do period, and even more so online. I would take her for all my English classes. I nominated her for #1 teacher at NVC

This lady needs teacher of the year award or something. It is very rare that you find a teacher that actually loves what she does. I hate english and I dreaded this class but once I was in the class I actually started to like it. I got an A and that's saying a lot considering I didn't want to be there at first.
