Shes an actress and a very interesting person. She makes the class enjoyable and if you have any missing work she allows you to make it up. You just have to make sure to do her readings and come up with a thoughtful question for almost every class and you should be good

Comment:

If you struggle with writing you'll receive a C-B in this class. Although she does give back papers for you to fix and receive a higher grade. Very relaxed class, articles each week, one research paper, a couple easy quizzes on textbook readings (only stories) and just a very cool person. She helps you improve your skills, but doesn't teach things.

Comment:

The class material is easy. There are quizzes on the readings, so read and show up to class. She accepts late papers and is somewhat sympathetic to students. She only allows 2 absences max, and marks you down if you're late. Her grading is wonky however, she doesn't seem to grade students fairly. I wouldn't take her again.

She is the best English professor you will probably find at Baruch. She is an amazing woman and cares a lot about all her students. As long as you turn in the few papers on time and show up for class you will do really well. She actually makes English enjoyable and gives lots of opportunities for easy grades. I definitely recommend her class.

Cathy was an amazing professor. I strongly recommend taking her as a professor. She's understanding and genuine and really tries to connect with her students, even asks to be called by her first name. She truly impacted me in the bigger picture. I have nothing, but good things to say about her.

Comment:

You are never going to find another professor as laid back as Cathy, but that doesn't mean she'll just give you an A. There're quizzes based on the readings and papers that can be rewritten at any time for a higher grade. There is no midterm or final, both are replaced by in class essays. Make sure to show up, attendance is taken every class.

She is super inspirational and makes class interesting. The readings she assigns are simple and entertaining (short quizzes for every reading). There are 4-5 papers and no exams. I definitely recommend her if you want to learn and expand your mind.

Cathy is a GEM. She's funny, caring, entertaining, and overall a total beaut. I wish she taught every English course required at Baruch. The readings she assigns are for the most part interesting. She gives a few papers which are all fun topics. She is one of the best English teachers I have ever had. If you can take her, TAKE HER. She is amazing.

She is by far the most amazing professor anyone can ask for. You have to do the readings assigned because there are quizzes but they're easy. 1 final paper and a few in-class assignments. Overall, she seems like a really nice person.

Comment:

Cathy is a good humored, down to earth person that thinks about her students before anything else. From choosing five dollar textbooks to giving extensions on papers when they're needed the most, there is no other professor I can think of that understands students as much as this woman does. Get on the waitlist if you have to for her classes.

What to expect: - Weekly current events articles to be discussed in class - Bi-weekly quizzes based on assigned short readings - A few take home/in-class essays - One 5 page research paper - No final exam - Participation is a must! - Speak to her in person instead of emailing her - Has strong opinions, but values your input I would take her again.

She's a wonderful woman. If you have the option take her!!!! She assigns a few papers and there are a few in class essays, nothing too intense. Longest paper was the 5 page research paper on a famous person. She assigns either a weekly or bi weekly reading and gives a SIMPLE quiz. Almost every wednesday we brought in articles and had a class talk.

She is AMAZING!! I would take her again in a heart beat. Her class is usually twice a week and one class was lecture but the other class was just us sitting in a circle and talking about current events. She's really funny and she loves her job so she pays a lot of attention to students, you can always come to her with any questions or just to chat.

My favorite class. Need the book in order to pass the weekly quizzes. Every quiz consists of a few questions that are basic points of the reading. Do the readings and you'll get an easy A on the quizzes. Few essays that can be rewritten to get a higher grade. Every wednesday we discussed various articles which was awesome. MUST COME TO CLASS!!!!
