Had the worst experience with this professor. She is condescending, rude, and will fail you no matter how much effort you make. I definitely do not recommend taking this teacher, stay away.

Comment:

Professor Harper is amazing. I had her my sophomore year of college and I learned so much from her. She is a very meticulous grader, but it improves your writing quality tenfold. Out of all of my professors in undergrad, she is my absolute favorite. I do not recommend taking her courses online - they are best being taken in person.

Comment:

Quite possibly the worst Prof. I have ever had. Want clear guidelines with understandable feedback? Don't expect this from her! Instead you'll get weird instructions followed by rude feedback when you think you did what was asked. Avoid this Prof. at all costs, the biggest headache I have ever experienced.

This teacher does remotely no teaching what so ever, but instead dumps a bunch of PDFs and YouTube videos for you to enjoy while she kicks back and relax's. Never have I ever much such an entitled person while also being the laziest. Never gives about a C on anything , doesn't respond to emails. Worst Prof EVER. Do Not Take Any Of Her Classes. EVER

Comment:

One of the worst professors of my career at Massbay. Hardest grader I have ever met and feels entitled to do so because she is the Head of the English Department. Have any concerns about your work or why it has such a low grade? Don't bother emailing her, she answers passive-aggressively with nothing to help you out. RUN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

Comment:

Highly recommend non-English majors to consider finding a diff professor. I attended a private university and not even there were profs as condescending. SUPER harsh grader, unclear guidelines, 50+ pg syllabus & contradiction in her grade notes. Expects u to criticize other classmates in responses. Grades u on grammar and formatting NOT substance.

Comment:

This is a tough grader, and is not clear about paper expectations. Therefore, is difficult to meet expectations. There are only a couple shots for getting a decent grade so each paper you pass in could be detrimental to your grade. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS

Comment:

This woman was the worst professor ever. She was so rude and horrible to every student. She gives no reasons or explanations for any of her grades.. never gives above a C. She needs to find joy in life to improve her attitude. If you dont want to be personally bullied dont take this class.

Comment:

SHE CAN'T TEACH.. She is rotten. She expects you to learn EVERYTHING on your own and isn't clear about what she's expecting from you with the weekly papers she makes you write. She'll give 0s for spacing, citations, and degrades you if you're confused. She's miserable and it shows. She thinks everyone's an English major. All around terrible!!!

Comment:

There are not enough kind words for professor Harper. I have taken both her literature classes and have left feeling inspired. She is beyond caring of her students and truly wants them to succeed. She tries her best to answer all questions and really encourages students to do their own research. Grading is fair and you get what you put into it.

Professor Harper is the best professor Ive ever had! I learned so much from her and I loved her honest attitude. She doesnt sugar coat anything but its a good things, I definitely learned how to write a proper lit paper, she is a tough grader but that is how I learned what a real lit paper is supposed to be. I would take a course with her again

she is a very poor teacher when it comes to understanding no one is a LIT major any more and the fact that i need this class for my accounting degree and she holding me to the highest of english expectations is rediculous she gave me a 2 out of 100 because i did not double space because apparently she can't read single space (don't take this class

Comment:

The problem with this professor is not that she is a difficult grader, it's that she is unclear about her grading criteria and does not communicate her expectations up front. Assigned ten papers total, each worth 10% of the final grade in the class. Would not provide the actual grading rubric used to score those papers.

Comment:

It's a frustrating class. She clearly knows a ton about everything she teaches, but refuses to share it with you. She expects you to research and learn everything on your own, and uses class only for discussions that often turn into unrelated tangents. She grades tough but gives little feedback on papers other than "you should have researched more"

Comment:

She should have retired over 20 years ago. She does not care. An abusive being, a bully, a poor excuse. An angry person. This professor is a master manipulator. Try kissing up to her and maybe you might pass. It depends on her irrational mood swings. Do not gamble with your education. Stay far, far, far, away from this her. Buyer beware!

The class was brutal!. She is all over the place, disorganized, changes due date and assignments at the last minute. She does not respond to emails until a week later. Knows her literature but still a horrible teacher! She lacks social and leadership skills. I would never recommend her class!

Not the class for you if you're on a cell phone, absent, or afraid of challenges! I've never worked so hard, but I've also never learned so much. What I found amazing was that she rewarded my hard work with her time and thoughtful advice. This is a class that will prepare you for university. Go in with manners and desire and you will leave changed

Comment:

People think she's mean, but honestly she makes you think about a lot of things. She is super helpful and yeah she's a hard teacher , but if you ask for help and actually put in the work you will learn so much about the world. She says it how it is and that's how the real world is. This teacher is awesome. Take her class if you are open.
