Hard class with such a strong accent teacher! i would NOT recommend her! She picks at everything you do wrong and grades you against that- i tried my BEST and still didn't pass the class.

Comment:

Hard class. Not the best instructor ever although she tries her best to explain the materials. She has an accent which is understandable although non-english speakers will have a bit of a hard time understanding. If you want an A then you will have to put everything you got into the course.

I can't believe that people say that they don't like her accent! Overall, she is a great teacher who rewards hard work. She gave me confidence in my abilities. Earning good grades from her makes you feel like you really earned it.

Comment:

Her class is definitely not an easy A. But if you want to learn how to write well and write good research papers, then take her class. She is very nice and helpful. She assigns the research paper step by step which makes it easy at the end.

She is a great professor. If you actually try, you'll learn a whole lot. Her summer course was crammed with work, but I got an A.

Comment:

What a nightmare! I had to drop the class after trying really hard to turn in all the work she assigned.I was very disappointed! Professors should teach and help students to gain the skills they need, they should not discourage them with harsh criticism and overwork. Bottom line is if you are not a good writer do not choose her.

Comment:

If English is not your first language or you have never been a good writer I do not recommend taking the course with this instructor. She haves a very thick Irish accent and she speaks very fast which makes it really hard to understand. She is very tough when grading and she expects students to spend ridicules amount of time with homework.

I hated this class. The teacher was pretty nice though. She gives a lot of homework and her grading is pretty tough. The essasy were pretty difficult as well. I had to drop this class because it was so hard. I wouldn't reccomend her at all.

Comment:

This was the absolute worst teacher I've ever had. I've never dropped a class or feared failing it in my life! She put up assignments the morning before class which was at 11:00, there was the hugest most complex research paper due, and she wasn't clear at all on her grading. The class started with about 30 people and finished with about 10!!

Comment:

Worst/hardest professor i have ever take. Do not take her if you want to get higher than a C. She never tells you what and when things are due. She calls you out in front of the whole class which is very unprofessional. Her grading is ridiculous. You will spends countless hours doing her work and it will never be enough.

I liked her, but the work she had us do in the text was confusing and not well explained. The essays were easy and the only reason I got a C was I didn't do half the work assigned.

I've never failed a class in my life until this professor. Even if you turn in what shes asks for she will find something wrong with it. Don't take this class unless you really want nothing to do but homework all day.

Comment:

I honestly think she would be better off teaching high school, she acts like no one has anything else to do with their time and wants to spend it all on homework. Some of us have to work for a living.

In the beggining I thought I wasn't going to get through this class. It seemed very hard, with a lot of work to do. However, if you do the work and attend class you can learn a lot. I got an A in her class, it wasn't easy, but it was rewarding. Great professor!

TERRIBLE, do not take this class if you expect to get an A. My class started with thirty, and now only has eleven, and I believe only half of that will pass. She does not explain anything, and has a strong Irish accent.
