Comment:

Absolutely awful. When asked for clarification on why I got a low grade on an essay which she gave very poor contradicting instructions on, she stated that dropping the class is an option. Very unprofessional, very rude, extremely vague and contradicting instructions, HUGE list of prohibited writing topics. Worst professor Ive ever had.

Comment:

The absolute worst professor I have ever encountered. More concerned about respect than helping students learn. Her blackboard is content heavy but a confusing mess. She labels assignments dates incorrectly and her feedback is vague. Library provided MLA Format tool I used for all classes she claimed was wrong format, horrible, BEWARE THE WORST!

Comment:

Now head of the English department at north campus, Dr Bollinger is by far the best English professor Ive ever had. She genuinely cares about her students and her department as a whole. Literary Theory may be a brand new class, but shes navigated it incredibly well. Ill definitely take any and every English class with her if possible.

Comment:

From the beginning she was great at being rude and throughout the semester her critique was more in her professional favor versus helping students to understand the course from their prospective. Unless you are already a professional writer , I would not recommend taking this class because your spirits WILL BE crushed. It's a community college!

Comment:

Absolutely terrible professor. Gives little to no feedback on any essays and if you don't follow the exact criteria she sets, which is quite unclear as well, you get a 0. On top of that, she will not give you feedback on why you got a zero UNLESS you hound her about it. Avoid taking her online class. Very unprofessional.

Comment:

I did great on my introductory paper but after that she said I never read directions when there wasn't really any to begin with. Super tough grader for no reason. I'm in school to be a medical assistant and I just needed this credit. Do not take this course unless you are going for writing or to be an english teacher.

Worst teacher ever! She is the toughest grader, not very clear about the assignments and not helpful at all. She actually makes you feel stupid and is very full of herself. She actually insulted me when i asked for help. I am a straight A student and I failed this class. I am re taking it with a different teacher next semester. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS

Great teacher, awesome actually. She definitely cares about her students and wants them to do well. Took 2 clases with her passed both with flying colors. Would take again; actually I attempted to get her to teach Public Speaking the following semester.

Comment:

It was not an impossible course, it simply required effort.. as most college level courses do. Dr. Bollinger does not put up with those not willing to try or show respect and this mentality allows those who want to expand on their knowledge of writing to do so. Skills acquired in this class are visible in my writing every day. Highly recommend.

Comment:

I would have to disagree with many of these comments. Dr. Bollinger is willing to help if you don't understand an assignment, go to her office hours!You are not supposed to enter a course knowing everything & this course strengthened my writing/argument skills. She allows opportunities for the class to chose topics if they are not fully engaged!

Comment:

The only time you will run into trouble with her is if you don't do the readings. The class is based on discussion that leads to an essay so if you are not following along with the assignments, expect to be lost. I admire the fact that she will not give you an easy A, you have to work for the grade you want &she is happy to help you achieve it!

Comment:

I would not recommend. This professor definitely is not a boost for your confidence. I felt like i was in a English Masters degree course, and im an established business professional, pursuing my degree for self satisfaction. Very conscending. This class made me feel like i didn't understand the basics of writing let alone the assignment.

Comment:

I have never in my life had a teacher who was this rude. Absolutely discouraging! Her essays are very unclear, definitely not a 100 level class. Very full of herself. Kind of disguisting that many of these comments are the same and the school still allows her to be faculty. Stop putting others down! DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!

Comment:

Took an online english class because of my schedule. She makes it hard to navigate through the material. She is confusing and rude. Only allows one day for online tests, unlike any other online class i have taken, and gives no extensions or reschedules of the test. makes you take it on the day she wants. Slow grader.

I have never actually written a review on a teacher in my life, but I decided to for this teacher. One of the rudest teachers I've ever had. Constantly tries to make you feel stupid. Should teach high school or something.

Comment:

Best part of her 110 course is that she has no page requirements, but this is made up for with the amount and difficulty of essays. Essays progressively get harder as the semester goes and so does her grading. Can be very sarcastic, and has a good sense of humor. Wish I could have taken her 111 but it wouldn't fit my schedule.

Comment:

She makes assignments that feel like they are consuming your life. Seriously annoying because when your taking more than 3 courses she will have most of your time. The reading and the participation is very overwhelming and then the essays are very demanding and intense. Hate it I just need this credit. I'm not going to use this too often in life.
