Comment:

She was a horrible teacher. It is very hard to even get a C out of her, she definitely is super picky when it comes to your essays and work turned in. I highly advise for those who love writing, or just need this credit out of the way,Do Not Take Her.

Comment:

She grades very hard. She takes off points if you don't scribble on your drafts enough to her liking. There were only four essays, but I could never please her. If nothing else, she knows exactly what she wants in a paper. The books are only partly necessary.

Comment:

she is very nice as a person but if you are needing a composition credit and you are starting out fresh in college, I would highly advise not taking this class because for a starter comp the grade requirements are too tough and you will find yourself wasting to much paper. If one thing is out of line, you are possibly facing serious grade reduction

Comment:

Professor Watts was not rude or anything, she was just a really tough grader. You could read your essays a million times and still receive a low grade. She grades on a really high level that English 1301 shouldnt be graded on. I know a lot of people who are retaking the class because of this. If you take your grades really serious dont take her.

Comment:

Honestly Professor Watts is not bad. She is strict about what she wants BUT is willing to help you outside of class. I wish I would have gone to her more often because my research essay was rough but she helped me with the others. She helped me improve my writing skills better than high school teachers ever had. Would recommend!

Comment:

She's looking for very precise instruction following, which most of us can't seem to do. Likes essays written in a formulaic structure, which is given in the textbooks. She failed 75% of us. Probably don't take if you value your GPA.

Comment:

Whatever corrections you made on your papers per her comments where never satisfying to her. She was very difficult to please regarding any papers that were submitted to her. I feel like she grades on a higher level that Comp I. I realized she was a AP college level professor and that was her grading scale for her classes.

Comment:

Professor Watts is tough. She answers your questions and recommends seeing her during her office hours (DO IT). Some big advice would be ask questions, be very specific in your essays!!!!!!! Dont use words like things, stuff, places, it. She prefers clear, in depth details. Show up, work hard, and you can pass. Good luck!!!!

Absolute worst grading rubric. The amount of time given is not reasonable for the amount of work provided. Too much work and not enough time. Do not take.

Comment:

Professor Watts is really tough, but a great teacher. I took her for a Fall English Comp One class. We had around 5 major essay grades with 2 or 3 smaller grades for each essay. There was also reading assignments for each essay. Her grading is tough, but she offers a lot of help in and out of class. Make sure you go to class and you can pass.

Comment:

Mrs. Watts is truly a hard professor. She will count a question wrong for one grammatical error. Mrs. Watts grades your tests and assignments as if you were in an honors college that she also teaches at. Beware that there is a lot of reading to do in her class. There are in-class writings each day so be sure not to miss unless it's an emergency.

Comment:

This was my second time to take American Lit but the first time with Professor Watts. If you have to take American Lit do take it with her because she is better than the other teachers. Read, Read, Read and than read more. Take notes, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS! She is extremely hard but believe me better than the other teacher I took.

Comment:

Mrs. Watts is a good teacher, she expects your work done correctly and grades a bit on the hard side. She is easy to get along with. I would not take this class if you struggle with English but if you are comfortable with English it would be a good class to improve your skills.

Comment:

She'll give you feed back on your papers, then she calls for mandatory times to talk with her. On your paper she'll have written notes, face to face she'll say everything is looking great. After telling you your paper looks good she will then proceed to give you "D"s. If she was clear in person, it would've been okay, however that was not the case.

Go into her class with an open mind. She really is a diamond in the rough. You first think this class will absolutely suck, but she ends up really helping you in any way you need. She gives good feedback and will treat you like an educated adult.

This is not a class you can just show up to and get an A, but she is a really great professor if you actually follow instructions to the T. + She takes the time to give you feedback if you need it and really wants to help you pass!
