Shes a nice and caring teacher but she doesn't teach well and goes off topic a lot and expects us to know everything . She gives out a paper with all the assignments so you can do them in advance and that helps you get a good grade .

she gives an assignment sheet for the whole semester so you can do the assignments in advance. the assignments are really easy but she can be really specific on how she wants them done. for the tests she is really very specific on how she wants the summaries the way she wants but will only go over it once or twice and grades hard.

Comment:

To be honest I did not like her at first, I though she was hard. I felt like whatever she was teaching was useless. But now I see that what she taught is applying to my life. I really appreciate her now. She helped me improve my reading skills. I am a better reader today than in high school. She also tries to help her students.

Comment:

Whatever you guys do don't take Bolaris for 102 because this teacher will teach the class on how to fail the class instead of teaching the class. Also, she will make you take a lab which will help you for the final but the lab is a waste of time because you won't learn anything. Finally, she will tell her students that they cannot read and write.

fo renglish 321 she gives you all the work. some can say its a lot bu its really not I literally could finish each section in less than a week. she does like to lecture about how were gonna fail and not pass her class and put the students down but overall the class was easy. as long as you keep a good pace you'll finish within a semester.

Comment:

Her lectures consist of telling her students that theyre going to fail. She uses majority of class time telling students about classroom procedures rather than lecturing the course material. On the flip side, she is a very fair teacher. She doesnt hold a bias opinion on any one student. Shes plays fair.

Comment:

Annoying. I've never met someone who complains so much about attention. Most of class time is her ranting about how no one listens or pays attention and very little education. I'd rather retake the class with a different teacher. She's overall easy if you just do your work.

Comment:

Don't take her class because she's gonna keep talking every week on how you won't finish your 3 units in 16 weeks. She doesn't even teach the class. She's a mean teacher that can't teach English 321. It took me almost 5 tries to pass the second unit of the CRT test. The work overall is a lot but her tests are very hard if you don't study for it.

Many say that she's a tough grader or gives too much work, but as she always says, "this is college." I think she's a great teacher and gives everyone much motivation to succeed. Great professor if you're up a challenge!

She could be a good teacher but decides to be mean. She talks to her students like if they're dumb. The homework is easy and so are the quizzes/tests but it would be nice if she would have a little more respect for her students.

Comment:

Im currently sitting in Bolaris' class as I type and i'm regretting it. We have more lectures on how we're gonna fail her class and how by not understanding the material... we're basically gonna fail in life. Its week 5 and she's still stuck on doubting, putting and frowning upon us students. I can't wait to be done with this class, week 16 wya?

Comment:

She is a nice person and I don't consider her mean at all. If anything she is realistic. She cares about her students and can get a little upset when they come to class without doing hw expecting to pass. The class was so easy. Hw only takes 40mins a week. My friend took the class with me and never did his hw, when he saw his grade, he dropped it.

This teacher is really rude and always in a bad mood. I had her for the lab but as many people won't take her as a teacher.
