Comment:

Not my favorite course , but managed to complete with sanity intact. If you want a challenge for your first English course, step up. Was surprised to learn they are not responsible for course curriculum, they only grade the work. MLA is super critical in this course. Opportunity given to correct unless repeat offender.

Comment:

She comes off as a nice professor who is there to help you but that is all just a cover up for her lack in teaching. She will give you a paper and go over how she wants it done just to make us feel like we have a chance at acing her class but in reality she easily gives c's and d's without explaining why she did it. After 3 months I am dropping her

This teacher is terrible! I was in advanced writing classes all through high school and earned an easy A in every class, graduated with honors, and still cannot satisfy this teacher! She is rude, ALWAYS has an issue with EVERY assignment that is turned in, and never gives specific ways to help a student improve. AVOID!! DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!!

Honestly the worst teacher ever. She failed me for the same assignment I turned in every single time. How do you get a C in english? I'm an A/B student so that tells you something. She is no help at all if you have questions. Do not take this instructor. She made me want to drop out of college all together.

Nearly every student got ANXIETY ATTACKS when you are seconds from etering her class room. She puts you on the spot and greets you good morning in a fashion that is on par with the training you get at the NAVY SEALS OR BOOT CAMP ON YOUR FIRST DAY.got a D in her class spring 2012 and took the class in 2013 spring with another teacher and got an A

I truly HATED this class. Inconsistent grading, inconsistent critiques, she assaults you with "GOOD MORNING" every class period. Her hand writing on the papers you get back is illegible. I just BARELY got a B in this class. Put serious effort into paper, get C. Put more effort into next paper get C. Give up on paper 3 get A. ??? AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Comment:

She demands very specific expectations without being specific in what she wants. Her teach methods are all over the place ("work on paper 4 and then turn in the rough draft for paper 3!") I honestly lost points on a test for not using Roman Numerals. She read a rough draft for my paper, told me it was wrong, and refused to tell me why. Forget her.

All I can say is...I had to drop her class in order to get an A with another professor! She was all over the place quizzing us the 1st week! She expects you to know everything she teaching about, and most of all you can not write and use your wording it has to be what she want you to say or how she would like you to state your own personal views...

Comment:

If you want an A in this class I recommend staying away!!!! I am a 4.0 student and I can't even make a B. She seems happy at first, but then she seem really rude and I never am a bad student, but I've had to bite my tongue several time for the way she talked to me. WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!!

Comment:

Oh my gosh, this lady is CRAZY! HA, she runs into class and is just crazy spastic when she talks. It's hilarious most of the time. She is a bit tough, but if you study then it's okay. She does have a strict format procedure, but just follow that and you should be okay. She outlines it all for you, I just follow that and I've gotten B's.

She's so happy it's intimidating! lol. There's 4 papers, 4 quizzes, and 10 mini in class assignments. LOVED the class for the challenge! If you don't like English or aren't good at it... DO NOT TAKE! She'll even let u rewrite papers if you just ASK!

Comment:

Avoid her if at all possible, never ran into someone who lacks in clarity. I am a 4.0 student who is barely passing what should be an easy class. Lack of direction, clarity, instruction. Can't read her writing, paper comments make no sense, never has time to explain why she graded the way she did. Thankfully this is a short summer course

Comment:

I learned so much about writing in this class but it was extremely difficult! You must know the textbook definitions of literary terms and you must follow the guidelines for papers EXACTLY. By the end of the quarter she grows on you but she is scary to begin with. Make sure you devote as much time to homework as possible!
