Comment:

Her class was offered to me through APUS. She was very helpful, though there were quite a bit of essays and you truly had to try for your grade. We also had to read a novel chosen from her list for the final essay. BUT-- her grading on the final essay was very lenient.

Comment:

Dr. Branch was a difficult teacher to work with. Although she was helpful when it came to projects, the answers were usually vague and not direct. When grading, I felt as if she graded based off of personal opinion rather than the facts that were clearly on the paper. Helps you to become a good writer but not a great one.

Comment:

I took almost everything that Branch taught @ Guilford College a few years ago. I thought that she was the most thought-provoking, engaging scholar. She was also very approachable and genuinely invested in the success of her students. She inspired and still inspires me to Go Deeper. Novels, articles, & other forms of research were our textbooks.

Great Professor! Yes, everything is about race, but that is just where she focuses her interest. She has her opinions, but is willing to listen to yours as long as they are backed up well.

Comment:

she says "kinda sorta" a whole lot and that bothered me but if you dont mind people that use the same catch phrase over and over again she is a good teacher. You can learn a lot from her.

Comment:

Was open about her own opinions so we could start off an honest class discussion as equals. Unlike certain other English professors *ahem-carolynbeardwhitlow-cough*, she embraced different views on the text as long as they were sufficiently supported.

Comment:

Eleanor intimidated the hell out of me when I first had her. She's smart, can defend her views, and expects the same out of you. Beware the eyebrow of death. Once I got to know her she was charming, warm, and blindingly intelligent. Though she focuses on race, I never felt I was evil for being white or that I was graded down for disagreeing.

Comment:

Doesn't like upper/middle class white people, I never felt like she was taking me seriously. I agree with the previous poster, she can be catty. Everything had to do with race in her class, it got old, fast. There's other literature to read other than stuff on race!

Comment:

Had the ENGL102 course with her as a 23 y/o transfer student, and quite frankly the lady can be rather catty. Overall, however, if you can support your views adequately, she is quite open minded to voices of dissent in the classroom. Also, don't take her

Comment:

I had Race in America, and although we differed on our views, she was clear on her views, and on her expectations for the class.
