Comment:

A real tough grader, I wrote a paper for her class which was immaculate and she gave me a B. I went to the writing and research center, they didn't see any mistakes. It's like she comes to HVCC hoping she can fail all her students. She takes 1 hour and a half to grade a paper which means she doesn't plan on giving you a good grade from the start.

Comment:

Mrs. Dearing has to hands down be the worst & most difficult professor you'll have to deal with at HVCC. The first day of classes she makes it very known that she rarely hands out A's. She is consistently late to class every week even though she drops your grade after some odd amount of absences. DO NOT take her, she'll turn your hair grey!

Comment:

WORST PROFESSOR EVER! I have never had anything below an A in English and I have a D. I have never been so dissappointed in a professor in my life. She is terrible and she is very mean and often comes off as rude. She calls people out and she tears them apart. shes like a vicious DRAGON. she skipped class more than I did and were way behind.

Comment:

An honest (yet sometimes hard hitting) professor who excels at making you put effort into work at the things you need to accomplish for the class. Do not expect to go in for an "Easy A", and do not expect there to be special treatment. You do the work, you earn your grade. Whether it's good or bad, that's on you. Read. Don't mess around.

Comment:

Prof. Dearing isn't a bad teacher. Things to note about her class: 6 absences bring you down a letter grade. Being late by 10 minutes 4 times counts as an absence. The final paper isn't accepted late, not even later that day. She teaches grammar and essay structure. If you want to read poems and analyze symbolism, this isn't the class for you.

Comment:

She takes off a final letter grade for every 6 classes missed so don't skip too offen. Her quizzes are easy grade boosters and she teaches pretty straight to the book. If you're bad at English you might struggle a little bit, however she's a hardass, and though her expectations are clear, she grades tough. I would take her again if I had to.

Comment:

Do NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT take this woman's class. Never in my adolescent life have I stressed so much about any academic subject but this course is absolutely abysmal. The teacher tries to be funny but often comes off as very condescending. There is very little passion in the class which makes it that much harder to sit through.

Comment:

I have never had a professor who was more vague on what she wanted from us when it came to assignments. The only student who got above a C was the girl who got Dearing a fifty dollar gift-card to D&D. This teacher does not care about her students and her lectures never matched up to what we read in the text books. Avoid her at all costs.

Comment:

Professor Dearing's class is definitely not easy but she is without a doubt a great teacher. You really have to work for a good grade and attendance is mandatory to pass. Overall she was very helpful though, and wants success for her students. I would not recommend this class if you don't like reading. She also was very helpful with writing papers.

Comment:

Very unpleasant instructor. I immediately dropped her class after the third day of having to sit in her classroom. Miserable. Also the first thing she assigned was to write a biography about our personal lives and then present it orally in front of the class on the third day, awkward. Expect reading due every class and numerous essays & tests.

Comment:

She was not there for the first two days of class and most of the majority of the semester. But she's very strict with absences for students which I think is stupid and makes her a hypocrite. She's very rude and egotistical. She's a grader nazi so don't expect to get an A. Overall, I recommend you don't take her and just leave her class now.
