Comment:

Ugh, what a nightmare! All confidence I had in my writing abilities were demolished when I took this class. Every paper I wrote for this class was a C or less. I read the text, I studied the examples, I asked for help. Everything you do, no matter how hard you try, will not be good enough for this woman. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!

One is left to their own vices. There is no positive feedback from this instructor, she will find fault in everything. Maybe there will be hope, that is if you are able to take this course with another instructor.

Comment:

Exams are timed with plenty of things to write about. No immediate feedback from tests, you are left at the teacher's mercy in grading the tests. Test will not allow moving forward, until a selection/entry has been made. Teacher takes too long to get back to students, and is not willing to help.

Comment:

Professor assigned work but gave no examples besides what is presented in the text book to guide students. You will have 3 exams and 4 letters to write. No discussions provided in the online class. Overall, I would not recommend this professor. If her quest is to teach students so they are learning the material, she is not fulfilling that role.

Holy crap! I can't seem to get things right here. I read very thoroughly, write, edit, rewrite.. She always says everything's wrong. It's like a game she plays we always lose.

Comment:

Horrible instruction! Took the online course and it took her FOREVER to grade my work. This is the last week of class and I just got my grades for work submitted in early November! Lack of timely feedback made it impossible for me to know what areas I needed 2 improve in- and she is a HARD grader!

Comment:

Anyone on here who says if you do the work you'll do well is lying. Took her online and she was still impossible. You'll never know what grade you will get because everything you do will be wrong, regardless of if you followed directions perfectly. DON'T ever take this class. Don't expect to find out how you are doing in the class. Horrible teacher

Comment:

Took Online. Prof. Mercer is fair. She teaches and provide feedback on real world writings. Her work and test are hard, but if you do the work, follow directions and apply yourself you will do good. You will get out of this class what you put into it. More feedback would be nice though.

She was not very clear on exactly what she wanted. The grades were always posted late. I think her grading process is horrible. I would not ever take her again.

Comment:

If you can take this class at another school, PLEASE DO SO. She is the only professor that teaches this class at TWU and her skills are not PROFESSIONAL. She does not grade work on time and you will not be allowed to view your mistakes before the next assignment is do. In other words, she is HORRIBLE.

Comment:

Read her terrible reviews here but kept an open mind anyway. She proved to still be very inconsistent with grading and comments. She doesn't seem to be organized and purposefully tries to stump you (not challenge you). I am an A student and I am disappointed in her integrity and teaching methods. She's not evil - just not a good instructor.

Comment:

She is really not as bad as everyone puts on here, yes the letters are hard to get good scores on, but that do not take up a big part of your overall grade, and if you do the extra credit doesnt matter at all if you did bad on the letters, test just make sure the letter part is good and you will be fine! Very nice lady!! liked the class!!!

Comment:

I was excited to take this class until the second meeting. Her grading is subjective and it is pointless to try to figure out what she wants. I'm not sure if she can remember what she wants. If you like repeated stories that do not have anything to do with the lesson, you are in for a treat. Especially when she can't work the monitor.

Her class is difficult but well worth it. IF she offers extra credit...due it. It can really help your grade. Overall she is not as bad as some might think, and the class was useful.

Extremely picky! Is reasonably helpful; is fairly clear about policies. Not as clear about what is expected of each assignment.

She is a terrible and boring instructor....She lectures the whole class period and is very monotone. The material being taught is not hard at all, but she makes it very difficult!
