Comment:

if you are taking this course as a nursing prerequisite, I would advise you not to take it with Caroline if English is not your greatest subject. She is an extremely smart woman and her slides are thoughtful and interesting but she is a very tough marker. Regardless of the amount of effort I put in, it felt impossible to get an A.

Comment:

Absolutely does not care, will not help with revision on your essays further because "at that point she might as well give you the A". I was at an 84.5 and she promised a bonus mark for doing an assignment and she never gave it and told me I wasn't "an A writer"

Caroline was a fantastic teacher. She managed the difficulty with online learning due to Covid exceptionally. Group Office Hours were efficient and helped with loss if in person class. Her course content was clear, enjoyable, and easy to follow. Although she is a tough marker, she returns all grades and critiques quickly-helps with improvement!

Comment:

I took Professor Harvey's English 1100 class during my first semester at Langara this past spring; the final exam was cancelled due to COVID-19. She's tough but fair and gave helpful feedback during the essay conferences and on the marked essays themselves. Overall, I personally enjoyed having her as my instructor for this course.

Comment:

She is elegant and humorous. She gives great feedback and is willing to help. All good but the scoring. I am not sure but she seems to have pretty high expectations for our essays. My friend's English isn't better than mine but she did get a much higher grade with other profs. I did learn a lot but I wish I could get a better grade.

-she gives you pointers for your essay before the due date -bonus marks for participation -improve your writing skills -no quizzes (journals replace quizzes *doesn't mark your grammar, just reads your input) -2 literary essays, group presentation, 1 in-class essay (midterm), and 1 essay and 2 paragraphs based on the books you read (finals)

Caroline is a skilled teacher, provides a lot of useful material and takes her role seriously. I appreciated the conferences to discuss papers and the time she puts into marking and giving feedback. If you are lazy or make excuses for missing work or class, this isn't the class for you. This prof has standards. I left feeling prepared.

Comment:

Had her for my first semester and she is very nice and caring. However, she is a very difficult marker. I usually scored around a B+/A- in high school and found even getting a C+ in her class hard. I took English with another prof in my other semester and got an A! My writinG is the same but Caroline is extremely hard to please and marks weirdly.

Her expectations are extremely high however it is possible to achieve a decent grade if this is the only class you are taking. If you don't have 3 months to edit your essay pass

Think twice. There many more good instructors as well. She is kind of judgemental and gives you D/F for your hard work.

I dont know how I get my first F in my life. You work hard on an Essay for 10 days by continuously visiting office hours and helping centre, you dont expect an F. Her topics are too old and she dont keep the pace with modern world. Most of her lectures are vague.

She is a very experienced and passionate prof. But, work hard on your essays and start ahead of time. Go to the writing centre for extra help and feedback before submission. she held conference before essay submission which are a great opportunity to get feedback. MAKE SURE TO READ THE QUESTION AND ANSWER WHAT IS ASKED. She is very caring.

Caroline is everything you could hope for in a first year English instructor. She genuinely cares about her students and doing her job well and it shows. She provides tons of super helpful material and gives you all that she can to prepare you for assignments. Great choices for readings. Old school in all the best ways.

Tough marker but her criteria is clear. Start writing your essays ahead of time and ALWAYS go to her conferences cause she's super helpful and gives great feedback. The stories we read were interesting and didn't make me fall asleep during my 8:30am class. Don't skip her class as it counts for marks. Helped me improve my english a lot.

I LOVE Caroline! I was sad after the term was over. She will teach you how to actually write an essay. You have to work hard and good grades dont come easy, but she will give you best advice and a long and detailed FEEDBACK for every paper! Lectures were entertaining and I learned so many interesting things that are applicable to other courses.
