Comment:

I took Professor Wu before she retired. She is a tough grader and very picky on essay writing. However, I think she prepares you well. My writing improved dramatically and its more concise now. Not an easy class (I'm shook I got an A). Makes you work for it! She may come off as confusing, but ask for help and she gives good feedback :)

Comment:

Willing to help, and I honestly believe that she wants to help her students. However, has trouble communicating her ideas sometimes, and just expects you to just know it already. Sometimes felt like she wasn't teaching (didn't explain), and would leave everyone behind if nobody knew it already.

Comment:

So I took her for a lab class and it was so BORING and her lectures were just terrible! Imagine taking her for an English class for 2 1/2 hours would be awful! Even though her classes were once a week I never wanted to attend but had to cuz attendance is mandatory.

Comment:

I actually took her Engl 900/901 class, its a writing lab. And let me just tell yall. Her style in teaching is TERRIBLE. Imaging her teaching a regular English class, if i was in her class, it would be 10x worse than being in her lab class

Professor Wu class was very hard but I did learn a lot. She is very picky when it comes to essays... however, if you reach out to her for help she is willing to help you. Overall, she is great as well as smart, but you do have to work hard to receive the grade you desire.

Comment:

Compared to other prof shes easy, as long as you participate and know what you're talking about she'll like you. Always follow her criteria and she'll give you a good mark. Don't skip too many classes or be tardy she'll actually drop you from the class. Theres only inclass essays and her gives you 4-5 classes to finish a paper.

Comment:

Professor Will is extremely specific when she assigns work. I mean everything has to be a certain way for you to receive a good grade. I wouldn't recommend this class. Due to the fact that if she doesn't like your writing style you will not pass. I got marked down points for using words she didn't want to see throughout my essay. dont take her clas

She will not care about you. If you miss more than 4 classes she WILL fail you. Lots of groups, she complains A LOT. She will not help you if you have questions, she will ask other students to help you. Didn't learn anything from her.

Be in class she takes attendance first before class starts. Group project big part of grade. Read before class for quizzes. Hard grader in papers. Also buy the textbooks for the class so much money goes to waste but oh well.

Super nice and very helpful when it came to essays. Class was easy if you showed up and did the work. Meet her in office hours if you have any questions. Reading quizzes are super easy. Good professor

She was a really good english teacher. I had no problems understanding her or the material she gave us. We did have to wright and read a lot. I like that she makes us talk to our classmates with group projects and assignments. I totally recommend you to take her class. I mean there are a couple spaces to slack off, but you do have to work for it.

Comment:

Professor Wu was a great professor. Her essays were a bit tough as she's a grammar natzi. I'm currently in English 1A and I have higher essay scores now than I did in her class on average if your essays are C's and B's you'll most likely receive B's and A's in English 1A. She only grades tough so you can hrow as a writer.

I chose this professor because my friend was taking her class and I have to say is that she is a very understandable professor. She has a sense of humor and really is different each class we attend, one day she's happy, the other day she's not happy. You should follow what she says about what needs to be in your essay. DO ALL YOUR ESSAYS TO PASS!!!

This teacher is not really easy because she makes you write all the rough drafts before you can turn in the final draft. She is very strict on how you write your thesis when she post a conference meeting as a group.

Here is for all the people that degrade this wonderful teacher to a boring individual. You do not understand how helpful she is. If you seek her help she will give it to you and prepare you. So many people are ready to critique another person, but people don't understand where she is coming from. Brilliant, wonderful, and amazing that's all.

This class is a high school english class but dont let that fool you. She isn't clear on what she wants. It's her way or no way. She isn't reasonable and will NOT work with you and she has an attitude. I would not recommend her, I did not learn anything in her class. Many say she is sweet she may be at times but not when it comes to questioning her

Comment:

This professor is very confusing. She will make you wirte drafts several times then once you turn in the final, then she will tell you that you did bad on the paper once its too late to fix. She name calls her students and laughs at them every time they make a mistake on the board. And she wouldnt care of how much effort you put into her class.
