Comment:
She gives a lot of homework and essays that she takes over a month to grade. Grading criteria seems simple but marks off the littlest things and grades based on how much she likes you. 99% of the class always gets a C no matter what you do. If you dont have the same view as her she will mark your grade down. DO NOT TAKE HER!

What a wonderful professor! I really enjoyed her Poetry class. I think that she doesn't get the credit that she deserves! She went above and beyond for her students. You can see that she really cares about her students! It really shows!

Rude this semester. Assigned homework(25 questions)over spring break then says it's not worth anything. Tough grader. Takes a long time to grade. Treats class as if it is your only class and you don't have anything else to do.

She graded very harsh on the essays which make up about 75% of your grade. Her expectations were not very clear. She expects a lot of detail in your essays and she takes about a week to grade them. There are in-class assignments and hw worth 1 or 2 points. If you do take her, start the connect assignment early! She did bump my 89.4 to an A though.

Comment:
Her grading was very tough. She marked me off when I wrote a paper over "A Rose for Emily", because I stated that suitors were chased away by the father. She said the reader may believe the suitors were "physically abusing the daughter". Every paper she marked off the smallest things. The homework is only worth 1-2 points. Take another professor!

She's honestly boring but easy too. She grades a little tough on her essays but the homework outweighs it. You have plenty of homework to do almost everyday. Gives out a lot of essays too. Start on the connect as soon as possible helps a lot in the end. Her final was extremely easy!

Looks hard for plagiarism. Turned in for something original. Lecture is boring. Expects you to write like an English major.

I hated this course. It was easy but she is so boring. She doesn't make English interesting like it should be. Towards the end of the course she's rude. She lets everything be two weeks late and I don't like that considering sometimes she will mark it late even tho the syllabus says otherwise. Don't take her

She is a very nice lady. After your first paper, she'll grade the rest of them pretty difficult. She has homework each week to help you even out those difficult grades if you receive some. Make sure to the Personalized Learning Plan because it makes a difference. She usually doesn't keep you in class the whole time. Take her

Brannen is a hard grader. She mainly gives everyone C's. The great things about her class is that she allows 2 revisions for papers and the final is take home. I earned a "A" in this course. I took it Fall 2011.

Took her last semester she wants to much… Technology platforms she uses don't work.? Should only be restricted to teaching English majors due dates constantly changes makes class mandatory because she takes roll counts off if you don't come even when we KNOW what we have to do and she has nothing to teach sigh...

Didn't like her class. Her class was like a class where she gives you a few tips then makes you write back to back to back papers. I had no time to really breath and she was extremely knit picky. I love English, I hated her class.

She is very nice, however she does constantly change due dates and it makes it hard to remember when everything is due. She also grades very hard. Definitely not an easy teacher.

Okay, so she is not the easiest professor to take. She expects a lot of her students and does not accept laziness in any form. If you do not attend her class and if you don't do your lab hours you will not pass. She gives you two weeks to make up assignments and she gives you ample time to do your work. If you want an easy grade do not take.

She practically looks for plagiarism. She takes forever to give back papers and any grades. You do get out early. She is really confusing on exactly what she wants in a paper. You should take someone else in my opinion.

She's a great prof for students that are actually willing to PAY ATTENTION and WORK. The people whining that she grades too hard and is inconsistent clearly screwed around and tried to turn in some bullcrap they wrote the night before. She is VERY helpful if you ask her. Avoid her if you're just lazy, take her if you want to improve your writing
