Theres 3 reading sets, each with a quiz, Two essays (1000 word), and a few other quizzes. Read the readings before the quizzes. The first and final assignments are just emails. Be careful about grammar though. She assigns everything on a separate website and has you submit on canvas. Her feedback is really helpful. Just follow instructions.

Comment:

I took Professor Simmons' ENC1102 online course over the summer. Not sure why everyone is saying she's such a tough grader and tough with feedback. This was the easiest English class I've ever taken. 2 essays and some discussions. Ended the course with a 102%. Literally just do what she says and you'll get an A. Everything was always in the blog.

Comment:

She expects a decent amount from her students, definitely tougher than high school. But she is very clear about what she expects and is there to help you if you need. Has long office hours and responds to emails quickly. Her feedback on essays are short. But if you ask her for more details she'll give them. Taking ENC1102 with her in the fall term!

Very tough grader, especially when it comes to grammar. I received low A's for most of papers, which I wasn't completely used to. She doesn't interact on a respectively personal level with her students, but she is kind. But you need to store up on a lot of ink, because she makes you print mad heavy. Her lectures are very good and are funny.

I heard many bad things about college English but she's amazing. She doesn't grade entire paper on grammar only a selected section that you select. Quizzes are quite easy if you read what she assigns. Definitely taking her class next semester.

Comment:

Prof. Simmons is very clear and specific about what she wants from her students. Make sure to always be paying attention in class, and try to not to miss. This is definitely a work-heavy course, but as long as you are following her directions you will pass. There are 1000 possible points and you need 900 if you would like to receive an A.

Prof. Simmons is a great professor. She is very clear as to what she wants and gives good feedback on essays. There are lots of articles and stories to read throughout the semester. Most of her test are based on these articles/stories. However, if you do the work, youll be fine.

Comment:

Prof. Simmons is always clear on exactly what she wants in your papers and gives guidance to help you write better. She assigns reading homework almost every class, but they are easy and usually only took me 5 mins. Be prepared to use twitter in her class, as that is a big chunk of your grade. If you do the work and follow directions, its an easy A

A very good choice. If you go to class and pay attention you will pass the class. Her guidelines are exactly how she wants them and she gives extra credit at the end of semester for attending class. This was easier than my high school english class. Also very few quizzes/tests, only on readings, which are interesting. I will take her for ENC 1102.

Comment:

If you want to deal with a non-caring, disrespectful professor. Professor Simmons is the one you want. Have had multiple talks with this professor and instead of taking time to understand and help her student. She says "I don't feel like it". or when a student with mental health issues comes for help, "just don't miss anymore class".

I took Professor Simmons for ENC 1101 & 1102 and I love her! I didn't care for writing before but it was so interesting in this class. She's so funny and extra credit is offered. The assigned readings are interesting as well. If I could take her for more classes I would. She's a great professor and I highly recommend you take her!

She is a little sassy. Her assignments are clearly outlined in the instructions on her website. We had 3, 1000 word essays and a few quizzes which were easy. She reset my quiz when it timed out on me. We have two weeks to write an essay, usually based on personal experiences. Follow the grading rubic and you'll do good. i took her for ENC1101 and 2

Ms. Simmons is very tough when it comes to feedback and is completely unwilling to help outside of class. I have never had a problem with a professor before and have always been a straight A student.

The course load isn't that heavy, and she usually gives you a fair amount of time to complete it. But my computer shut down in the middle of a quiz & instead of resetting it like she stated in her syllabus, she wanted to give me a 600 word essay due in 4 days. I have to go through the dean, who's horrible too, to get her to reset the 100 point quiz

She is a sweet nice lady who cares about her students. However, if you want to get an A in the class work for it! That means be on your A game at all times. Grammar is what matter a lot on your papers. Otherwise, I would recommend her. The class is not that hard, she makes it interesting. Attendance is 25 bonus points if you are there every day.

Awesome professor ! I would take all of my English Composition classes with her if I could. She is a tough grader though, so be on your A game, literally.
