Comment:

Professor Shelton was one of the BEST professors Ive had. I enjoyed going to her class every day. We wrote 3 papers through the semester and had one final essay. Before each paper was due, we had a peer review in class which was really helpful. She also had opportunities to meet with her before the final paper and get feedback. Take her class!

Comment:

Overall, she was fine. Make sure you turn in all your work before the due date or its not worth any points. Everything you do leads up to the final paper. She gives good feedback and doesn't expect too much other than you do your work and make sure its on time.

Comment:

This was the best designed online class I have taken. Her lectures are straightforward, entertaining, and informative. English is a strength of mine and, as such, this class was rather easy. However, I wouldn't suggest an online course for those who find English/writing challenging.

I took the class online and there was a lot of discussions with classmates which I liked. Spent whole semester building pieces of the final paper each week and Shelton gave excellent feedback to help you do well. She went through each persons paper and left detailed suggestions on how to write better. Easy class if you know how to write a paper.

Comment:

I took Professor Shelton's online 2010 class and it was pure hell. She does not grade fairly in the slightest. One assignment was an annotated bibliography and I got docked 15 points because my sources apparently had nothing to do with my topic, and they most certainly did. She grades way too tough and in the oddest way. I do not recommend taking.

Comment:

This is probably the best English professor I have ever had. She is moderately animated when she talks and is never a bore. She has no latework tolerated in her syllabus, but if you have a really good reason on why you'll be a couple hours late or a day late, she'll let it slide. She really connects with the students and knows their situation well.

Comment:

I had some health issues this semesters and she was very caring and willing to help. Class was a little boring, it's mostly just grading your grammar worksheets together, I almost wish it had been a little bit more challenging. Careful though, she was a much tougher grader than I expected for the big projects.

Comment:

Professor Shelton was by far the best English professor I have ever had. She works with each student personally in order for them to be as successful as possible. She also has you work on one subject all semester long so all of the work you do is helping you develop your final paper. She is super compassionate and loving to all!

Professor Shelton was one of the best teacher's I've had my entire academic career. She helps you understand the why behind the papers she gives. She is very clear on her expectations and is very enthusiastic on what she teaches. She uses the book pretty exclusively, so Google will not save you.

I loved Linda! She was so fun. Even though there was a lot of homework she made it worth it because she would help you through it. We did a lot of group assignments and group talking. I would take her class again.

Comment:

She is like the little grandma that everyone wishes they had. She wants her students to pass and will help them make that possible. If she sees your effort, she will work with you. The whole semester was spent on writing the final paper, by building it piece by piece. She's funny and really helpful.

Comment:

Linda is a fantastic English teacher. She explains things clearly and openly. She will be the first to tell you that the assignment is odd or might not seem worth while, but she explains the why behind it. She is open and honest when she gives feedback, and really gives you keys to succeed.

Comment:

She was a good english professor. There were times in her class where she loved talking about political and controversial things, which wasn't too relevant to english. But overall, she stayed on track. Her grading for papers is very fair and she gives great feedback on how you can improve. I would take her class again.

Comment:

I loved taking this class from Linda. She is great! She was very understanding about everything. I turned in a few assignments late and she didn't mark me down for it. All she really cares is that it is completed and that we did out best. There are a lot of papers but she is willing to help you and accommodate.

Comment:

She is literally THE BEST. She wants her students to succeed and wants you to get the best grade possible in her class. She does one on one conferences when it comes to midterms and your final paper. And she doesn't do a finals test! Your last research paper is your final and you finish the class a week early! Definitely has been my favorite.

Comment:

Professor Shelton is not a teacher for the lazy or for the procrastinator. She is willing to work with you and will talk to you about grades if you want to know why you got a certain score. You will generally be writing a paper every week, but as long as you keep up with homework, you won't get bogged down.

Professor Shelton was one of the best professors I have had. She is always there for you when you need help during office hours, after class, and she is invested in student's success.

Comment:

Linda is the kind of professor that makes you love the subject. Grammar is tolerable at its best, but Linda made it interesting and fun. She is a very skilled instructor and she knows her subject matter. I believe attendance is key for receiving an A, but I never wanted to miss her class, so this wasn't a problem.

Comment:

If you take this class be prepared to write a lot. Linda is a harsh grader with the major assignments. Most of the assignments were a waste of time. She is not helpful and her instructions are unclear. She told me I had a good topic to write about and my summaries of articles were good but then tore apart my final paper. Don't take this class!

Comment:

Linda is awesome! This is the most interesting, most fun, and most relevant grammar class I've ever taken. The best part about Linda is that she thinks grammar is stupid so while she is teaching it, she admits it has flaws and encourages discussion about it.She brings in readings that challenge the idea of traditional grammar. Take this class!
