Comment:

The tutoring class will really teach you how to help others with their writing. (Highly recommended for Eng. Educ. majors.) She is a bit goofy at time and a little disorganized, but she knows he stuff. She really gets you thinking on a DEEP level with in class discussion and dissection of peers' writing.

Comment:

At first I didnt like her, but I dont think I gave her a chance. She is really a great teacher! She explains everything, and is very accepting towards questions. Her hand writing is VERY hard to read, but she tries. She is pretty laid back, and we did like 3 essays and a few in class essays. If you finish your portfolio, she exuses from class!!!

She was an amazing teacher. I would tell anyone to take her for a class. She's always willing to help, and is very bouncy and happy about life, and that's always showing through in her teaching.

I went to the tutors for help with my papers and ended the class with a B.

I took her class online and when I asked a question about unclear grading her response was "I have never had so many students whine about their grades." I told her she should actually read our answers before marking them wrong!

Internet class. If you have the time you will pass this class with ease. I would recommend her if you have all the time you need to read the work.

Comment:

Took over my class 4 weeks before finals, when my adjunct became hospitalized, and totally changed the course! I had a "B" but her final exam and paper accounted for 60% of the final grade... I ended with a "D"! when I took the course again with another professor I earned an "A"... anyone see a problem with that?!

Not easy, but worth the work. Challenges your ideas on writing and makes you question your own writing. Take her if you have the chance--the experience is worth every hour of work.
