Comment:

I'm not lying, she is THE worst teacher I've ever had. She'll give you an assignment and not bother to explain the criteria. When emailed for help, she'll often say "contact a classmate," and then scold you for doing something wrong. You're paying for these classes, take a teacher that respects that and isn't too lazy to explain assignments.

She's a nice woman and obviously very smart, but her instructions are so unclear. Often, three students would email her and she'd give them three different answers. She seems to have trouble conveying her expectations, which was incredibly frustrating

Comment:

Professor Nadler's instructions are as clear the DeVinci Code. She will assign an assignment with specific instructions and then you'll bring in the assignment for peer editing and then she tell you try to correct something that wasn't assigned. Her rubrics don't match the original assignment so be ready to fix papers and be filled with frustration

Some assignments are vague, you need to go to office hours to clarify any questions you have. Overall a nice lady, hard grader but easy if you put effort in. If you don't go to class you will fail!!!

She is very high strung but if you do the work and participate then you'll pass. It seems like a lot at first but she tries to make it interesting for students. I learned some helpful tips from the class.

She is so confusing with her directions, she does not reply to emails soon enough to help you. She is a tough grader and expects a lot from the students. I do no recommend her, try to switch to another professor as soon as possible.

Worst professor ever. Please avoid is possible. Not only is she vague with her expectations, but she is the most annoying, obnoxious person I have ever met. I don't learn anything from her. She should find a career elsewhere because shes awful at teaching.

Comment:

She is often scatterbrained and confusing with assignments. The syllabus gives you a good idea of what is due but make re to ask because it was very easy to miss assignments. Be careful not to skip this class because she takes points of your overall grade and you will be unclear of what's going on. There's a lot of writing.

Comment:

Someone mentioned this once before, but if you value your sanity, *DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS*. Her expectations are beyond reasonable and she doesn't explain things clearly at all. She's rude and merciless. One time she was pissed off at the class because we didn't understand her explanations which weren't clear at all. SAVE YOURSELVES FROM THIS CLASS

Comment:

She can be really mean. She stutters almost all the time, talks a lot and can be extremely rude. Her class was worth it, I earned a lot but I had to deal with her attitude just to get through it. Be prepared for a lotttt of writing. P.S her grading system is so weird like it doesn't even make sense.

I loved her, her instructions were sometimes confusing but she would clarify then if you ask her to. Shes big on ethos, pathos, and logos so learn those. Know how to write a summary, she spends a lot of time helping us with that. Shes a great professor, I would recommend her.

Comment:

By far the worst professor I have ever had. Was extremely rude, condescending, and had unrealistic expectations of her class. She seemed as though she was constantly in a rush, gave very poor explanations in class, and would get an attitude if you asked questions. Avoid taking a class with her if you at all can.

Comment:

She is the worst professor I've ever had. Her instructions and requirements are constantly vague and unclear, and she is incredibly condescending and rude to her students. If you ask for help or anything, she gets butthurt and basically provides no help at all. I have never hated a class or a professor as much as I hate this poor excuse for one.

Comment:

Louis Nadler is by no means an easy professor however you will learn a lot in her class. I am far more confident in my ability to produce college level writing now that I have completed her class. If you are looking for an easy class than stay away from Nadler, but if you want to learn a lot and are willing to work, than take this course.

Comment:

She is a good teacher. Getting the grades are difficult, but if you ask for help you will get it. Her class focused on a lot of criticism from her as well as your peers. However it is up to you as a writer how you edit or change your work. Most people do not enjoy her class because it is difficult, if you plan on challenging yourself choose her.
