Comment:

Talks about her life at home most of the time. Never graded anything on time so I didn't know my grade until final grades came out. Papers are basically graded by pears. I'm not sure how we were supposed to grow when we only got feedback from pears. Makes you turn in papers just to make sure you did something. Made us buy a workbook we NEVER used.

Goes off topic a lot. She also is a very slow grader, however, you can take this class for an easy A. Very few quizzes which are also easy. Lot's of people had flaky attendance but I still think it would be easy to pass.

Comment:

We went off topic a lot and wouldn't start learning until halfway through the class time. She was nice but I didn't learn much. I was still able to get high grades on the papers and final, though. The textbook is mandatory and pretty expensive, but I was able to rent it for much cheaper. She was pretty chill but I wanted to learn a bit more.

Comment:

I took Professor Carter for both ENGLT 320 and 321. There were only 2-3 essays per semester and no nightly assignments besides reading the textbook. As many others point out, she goes off-topic A LOT. At first, it was nice to have our essays delayed being assigned but it got old quickly when we were 5 weeks behind the syllabus. SLOW GRADER!!!!!!!!

You could have written a beautiful piece of work and get a whole zero on an assignment if it wasnt perfectly formatted. She spent majority of the class time talking about her life which wasnt what the class was about.

Comment:

She spent at least half of every class talking about her personal life, and wasted so much of our time. She assigns reading every day, but I didn't end up reading half of it because we never got around to discussing it in class, (again, she goes on way too many tangents). Two essays, a midterm, a final, and very few other homework assignments.

She is an okay professor, but she grades too slow. Got the first paper graded, but the second paper was done like two months ago and still has not graded it.

Comment:

Professor Carter, I don't know why they had a bunch of bad reviews for this professor, I actually liked coming to her class and everyone knows that. Even though she does tell a bunch of life stories and lessons, they can be related to what we are talking about. I am not a writer and she knows that but she is there to help you if you are willing to.

Comment:

Do not take this professor most of class is either talking about her life or other topics that have nothing to do with the class. Didn't really learn much everything you learn is out of the book, she always returns papers late last two papers were graded after we already took the final, also she is a very tough grader.

Comment:

Do not take this professor at any cost. Always goes of topic and it is not a good thing. There is no in class preparation for weekly quizzes because she goes so off topic that nothing gets done and ultimately leads you to failure. Never expect anything to be graded on time as she is always behind and late to class most days. TOUGH GRADER.

Comment:

If you have to take this professor save your educational mental compassity. Spends a lot of time talking about herself, you don't need to buy that expensive text book everything that's in lecture is on the web. Does not follow syllubus material will be thrown out by the end of the semester. A very hard grader on papers, won't ever get out early

Even though she is a great teacher and she will be there to answer any questions you have, she is tough grader when it comes to the papers. You are assigned to get 2 books and they are your life for that class. One is a reference to how to write papers, you will love it for when you type them. She is helpful and hilarious. fun class but work needed

Comment:

It's a tough class with a tough teacher. That doesn't necessarily make her a bad teacher. Things Prof. Carter can really improve on is better use of class time (I'd rather be home than hear her go on about her personal stories, though some are really interesting). Another thing is her return time on graded assignments.

Spent too much time discussing personal life.. Should trade in the time while doing so- clarifying what she expects from her students. Don't take her class, there will always be a handful of better educators just around corner.

I do not feel that she is biased though. I am white and feel she graded me fairly, so dont think thatll happen to you. It's easy to see she has a big heart and wants to help her students. I don't think its her intentions to make anyone feel bad, just aware. Overall she is fair. Take her class cause no other class will give ya a chance to

If you want an easy A this is the class. Online quizzes based on text, easy, tests based on quizzes. Write "ok" papers to get an A, and show up to class. When I had her class it was literally, wait 5 min after class starts for her to get there, 5 min of schedule, 5-10 of actually doing something, then the rest of class is talking about her life.

Comment:

You'll learn more if you go to the library and read the textbook versus actually attending class which was almost NEVER devoted to learning textbook material. If you want to pass a quiz or the midterm you'd better read the text on your own and take your own notes. Don't ask off topic questions because you will never get back on track. Stay away!!
