Comment:

I've NEVER had a B in my life in an English class. This is the first time I was given Bs consecutavely on every paper. She offers no feedback & is very unclear with what she is looking for in papers. I should have just left well enough alone and stuck with the original class I was enrolled. Unorganized & very disapointing class.

Comment:

Dr. Mizell was the best professor I have had in a long time. She was great. I enjoyed her class each and every time I walked into her class room. She was so nice and caring with all of us. She made literature interesting. My class was great. I would take her class again if I needed another literature class.

Comment:

This professor was the absolute worst I have ever had. She gets off topic almost daily; you forget what it was you were supposed to be discussing. Her idea of "teaching" is having students discuss with no help or input from her. Critical research paper halfway through the semester but gives no help on it. Everyone in my class got a 1! Sanity? Nope

Comment:

Professor Mizell is more into current events than the actual material you need for the class. You might as well take this online before you take her because nothing you do in here is relevant to the essays you turn in. She's constantly wanting to start a debate. Also, she has never once replied to any of my emails. If possible take someone else.

Comment:

At first, her class was interesting. But it became boring, and she gets off topic quite often. The class ends up being nothing but a debate room. People started skipping more and more as the days went by. She puts people on the spot, and don't expect her to grade you work right away. Overall, her class was so-so.

Comment:

She worked with me. This was my busiest semester, with 16 hours and 30+ at work, and I was holding a retreat in November. She worked with me and helped me out big time with assignments. She is really into Literature, and is well versed. She knows her stuff, and enjoys sharing her personal stories. Really knows how to connect with her class!

She's a very nice professor and loves what she teaches but she's a very hard grader. She is not specific on assignments and activities in class.

Comment:

Professor Mizell is a very nice lady. But she doesn't teach AT ALL in class, all she does is talk about current events. She hardly ever replies to your emails when you need her to. She does make a good syllabus that is clear and easy to follow. Overall, she's nice but not a very good teacher.

Comment:

I took her 8 week express course and loved it. She is to the point and the syllabus is clear. You do need to put forth effort but if you keep up with the work and don't miss an assignment you should get an A. There's an essay due every week and a research paper where you choose the topic. She responds to emails quickly. Overall great prof.

Comment:

Prior to taking this class, I've never made a B in college. She doesn't teach during class but instead talks about world events like others have mentioned. Grades excessively hard on essays and isn't available for office hours when you need help. AVOID.

Took her online 8 week course... I loved it. You need to commit to it. Keep in mind this is a Rhetoric and Composition class, so you will need to write. If you are proactive, she appreciates it and really works with you. You can't wait last minute to turn stuff in. I stuck to a schedule and got an A. I loved her class.

Honors class, very dull. Teacher is more interested in her own personal stories than teaching a subject. Thinks she is very worldly, but isn't. If you have a choice between her class or being pepper sprayed, get sprayed. It will hurt less.

Honors class. Very fun and engaging, topics were very interesting. Found essays to be easy. if you don't mind writing, and you're not stupid, definitely take her honors class.

I don't recommend this teacher to anyone, and most of the readings and assignments didn't pertain to English. She grades harshly on essays and doesn't except late work.

Comment:

I took an online class with her, so there's not much to say about her lectures. However, the direction that she took the class was very engaging: problems regarding values were the center of this Comp/Rhetoric II class. It felt more like an anthropology or sociology course than an English prerequisite - definitely a rewarding experience.

Comment:

Online class instructions were a bit confusing, essays graded very differently and harshly, definetely turn in every assignment and on time, but not sure your best effort always gets the best grade in this class.
