Comment:

The class was boring, we were never busy and everything seemed to go by really slow. There were 4 essays in total and she graded them extremely easy. You can practically skip all her classes and show up only to receive the prompt and turn the essay in and not miss out on anything. Easy pass if your don't mind being bored all the time.

Comment:

Mrs. Adams-Palmer is a super easy grader. If you're good at writing and are just trying to get in and out of an English class, then she's your best bet. If you're actually interested in English and want constructive criticism on your writing, you should look elsewhere. This class is a snooze.

Really enjoyed her class. Allows a lot of creativity and the peer reviews are awesome. Would definitely take again. Just make sure to run your papers through multiple grammar checks!

Total mistake taking her. Uninspring lectures with unspiring feedback on my essays. Didn't feel I improved anywhere in my writing or thinking. Do yourself a favor, avoid her and take someone else

Comment:

If you're already a good writer and reader then get ready to pass the class with no problems at all. She's not very harsh in her grading style but if you don't know English well already, then you're not going to do well. Her lectures are mediocre at best and it seems like they're all half-hearted with no passion but it's an easy A.

Comment:

Gina was an alright professor. The essays were a breeze. She is pretty boring although, and she doesn't really seem too interested in the class. She doesn't take the time to remember anyone's name, so get used to being pointed at all semester. She is prepared and organized. She assigns a lot of busy work. If you miss class, you don't miss much.

Comment:

If you are a great writer and always got A's in English, take the class. If you are like me, and got B's in English in high school, and you are just an alright writer, avoid class at all costs. The class is unengaging and her lectures are unhelpful, but she requires you to go to class as she grades you on attendance. Would not take this class again

Comment:

5 essays, gotta read a book, watch a play, talk about boring things. I'd take her again if I had to because as long as you give in essays in time you'll get an A. Just give her a bad first rough draft, she'll correct it, give it back and get an A. You can skip a few of classes without having much trouble too

Comment:

I had signed up for this class for a different professor but Ms. Adams-Palmer took her place. She is a nice person but I would not recommend taking this course with her. The lectures I would say are pointless to attend. One class she was on the computer showing us how to research topics for our argumentative essay for over 40 minutes.

Comment:

This is one of the worst English classes I have ever taken. The teacher is boring and will often teach on subjects that are interesting to her. Must see a play, read and write a lot. Try taking this class with a different teacher, one who will actually teach. I can safely say that I did not learn anything new in this class.

Comment:

She is a very strict grader and not too open minded. She only teaches part time and just does it because she enjoys it, so this may be the reason for her attitude and ideals. An okay enough teacher but I would recommended taking this class with someone else if possible.

Very nice Professor. Summer class M-Th was not too bad. We had three analyzing essays and one research paper 5-6pgs. We also watched the movie "Othello". Pretty basic class as long as you show up everyday and turn the essays in on time.

Ms. Adams Palmer is an amazing teacher! I am taking her as of right now! Summmer, and I attend everyday. I force myself because she is so great! She teaches well and grades well. There are some teachers that do not teach, but are difficult graders! Do your work and you'll pass with a good grade.

Great teacher, great class. She kept things interesting by always having us do something different each class. A lot of group work involved during class time.

Great teacher easy passing grade if you just show up complete the essays on time. There were only about 3-4 essays the whole semester nothing challenging or difficult. I highly recommend taking her class.

Awesome teacher w/ the ability to keep your interest in the subject. Activities are fun and insightful, papers are clearly developed through lessons and topics are explored in a unique perspective. You get an opportunity to do peer review which is helpful. Trip to see one play and several in-class videos on several topics. Top ten teacher for me
