She is soooooooo cool.
She looks, sounds, and acts just like Juno MacGruff from Juno. She's super cool, dude. Take her classes.
Adele is a great teacher. It will help you a lot if you attend office hours.
Adele is an awesome teacher. She is willing to help anyone in anyway she can. She makes the class fun... you wont forget her. Just take the class and you will see. But be prepared to write and research/
I learned more in this class than I ever have in any english class in my life. She teaches everything so clear, but makes the whole class fun. It is some work, but there is NO BUSY WORK. Grades are fair, if you go to class and do your paper you will do well in the class. End of story. You will never forget this class. I recommend to anybody!!!
The best english teacher I've had. She is very funny so the class is interesting, attendance is mandatory but it's pretty fun. There is not busy work, just a few small assignments and the papers. I thought she graded pretty fairly, if you go to her office hours to have her look over your paper she will basically grade it so you can fix it great cla
she's my aunt.
she's the most amazing english teacher i've ever had. grading is fair if you pay attention. she's fun and there's no busy work. everyone should take her :)
Adele not only is the best english teacher that I've had so far, but she is also one of the funniest and interesting of all too. I sucked at writting prior to taking this class, and at the end I turned out to be getting 90+ on the Core papers. Take her class, you really learn and you get to have a fun time. (never ask to leave early,or insinuate it
Professor Richardson is by far one of the best teachers I've ever had. Not only does she do an awesome job of teaching and making sure her students understand the material, but she also actually cares about her students. Not to mention, she's hilarious! She actually makes class fun!
The Best english teacher I have ever had. Classes are fun and she is hilarious. I thought I was a horrible writer before entering this class. There is no busy work just four core papers and a simple project. She explains the paper's very well and is a fair grader.
Best English Professor at UCF. Very fun class, no busy work. Grading is very fair! Makes you want to go to class!
Very easy going and "cool" professor.I wish to have her for my Comp 2 as a techer.She is wonderful.
Such an awesome & hilarious teacher. No busy work. Just 4 core papers, and a final. She tells you EXACTLY what she expects in each paper, and if you go to her office hours, she will help you even more. She is also a fair grader. She makes English fun, I promise you she will make you laugh, and you will not regret taking her!
Great teacher! She's very funny and extremely helpful.
Very funny and down to earth. She is one of the realest professors I have had. She is extremely clear of what she expects and does a good job at explaining directions for assignments. I took her for comp I and we had to write quite a bit of essays (more than my comp II class) but it deff. makes you a better writer. Ultimately a fun/laid back class.
As my first year at UCF I couldn't ask for a better professor than Richardson. Her class is fun and always made me want to go, I never missed a day because there was always something new to learn. Her work is simple and down to the point. I'm trying to get her for Comp 2 because she was that amazing. Great teacher, the best!
Adele is the English teacher every responsible, humor-loving UCF student should take! I say responsible because you have to do your work to do well, but there will be oodles of fun along the journey. I'm definitely taking her again for 1102...she's the****!
Simply put: If you DON'T sign up for Mrs. Richardson's class, you should kick yourself in the face every day that semester. She's super chill and funny, everyone enjoyed her class; but at the same time she works really hard to bring her freshman up to where they need to be to survive college level composition. Her class was perfect, she's AWESOME.
Simply put, if you manage to squeeze into one of the seats in her class, hang on to it for dear life! Professor Richarson is BY FAR my favorite professor I have ever had. She is hilarious, but also teaches amazingly. I learned a ton from her class and wish I could get her for 1102!
She is by far one of my favorite teachers ever. She is extremely engaging, funny and intelligent. I absolutely loved her class, but that's not to say that class wasn't a challenge. She sets high levels of expectation but gives you the means to achieve them. None of the homework is busy work; all of it builds on each other.
Took for her enc 1101 and 1102. not only hilarious but really knows what she's talking about. you do a bit more work than the other english classes- but trust me it's worth it. she's always willing to help if you need it- make sure you do all the reading responses- they look like they suck but she just grades that you attempted them.
I absolutely loved this professors! She is the best teacher I have had so far at UCF. Her class is not easy but not impossible. You shouold do good on all of the papers if you visit her office hours and actually prove to her that you care. She is hilarious!!! and always interesting! If you take her, you will not regret it. You will definitely learn
Overall she was a good professor. I loved hearing her stories and listening to her random things. She lets her students pick what they do for the final exam and her class was somewhat tough but recommend her highly.
She is a great professor and very down to earth.Im a horrible writer and ended up with an A in the class. She is a fair grader and easy overall prof. but you have to work hard. This class is very easy as long as you follow her instructions. YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME IN HER CLASS!
AWESOMEEEE and very funny professor..down to earth..BUT you have to actually try..if you dont put alot of effort you wont pass..but if you follow her instructions to a t you will get an A..just do as she asks exactly how she asks and pay attention
Professor Richardson is my favorite professor! She is so funny and she cares about her students succeeding. Participation is part of the grade, so show up to class. She assigns a lot of papers, but they're easy. If you put the work in, you'll get an A. She swears by her office hours, and is always willing to help when you need it!
Take this class! She is very funny and keeps you inerested. Prepares you for future courses.
She's truly an amazing teacher. I was somewhat skeptical at first but she has an awesome sense of humor and really knows how to teach to the point of understanding. Really prepares you for the future/classes. Tons of writing assignments, but if you just stick with it you're bound to succeed.
Richardson was amazing. I spent days trying to switch classes in another term just so that I could have her again. Her sense of humor makes every class fun, and she is very down to earth. She will help you personally if you ever need it at any time. If the class does not understand an assignment, she will move due dates so she can explain it again.
You will never get another professor as funny and as friendly as this one. There will be a lot of writing, but she will go out of her way to make sure all students do well. I will take her again for ENC1102. If anyone asks who to take for english, this is the professor!
Ms.Richardson is by far, the best Professor I have met at UCF... she is so funny and down to earth! I strongly recommend you take her! You'll be lucky if you can get a seat!
THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I took her for 1101 also, and I'm trying to convince her to teach other classes than just 1101 and 1102. I would take her every semester if I could. If you keep up the work you should have no problem. If she sees you putting in the effort, she'll make sure you do fine! :)
She is he BESTTTTTT!! if you dont take her you are missing out big time! Consider yourself lucky to have a seat in adele's class. Easy going and helpful. Do as you're told and you are gonna be fine! She is the best prof at UCF in my book!
best ever!!! seriously. Comp is supposed to be hard but she makes it soo breezy, at the beginning youre all like wtf a 10 page paper and by the end ur a pro at writing. not only do ur writing skills improve, you learn too! she is sooo easygoing and down to earth, love her! best at UCF fo sho!
One of the best professors I've ever had. She is helpful, funny, considerate of her students and really knows her stuff! I learned so much and I am truly grateful to have had this professor! I definitely recommend taking a class with her. You will learn so much :)
OMG Richardson is the best professor ever. She is very funny and will make sure her students understand the work she assigns. Even if you're not doing well if you try your best she will help you out. And I love it when she says "D**n It" lol. I would definitely recommend Professor Adele Richardson to anybody taking ENC. Best Professor at UCF.
One of my favorite professors ever. Extremely helpful, always enthusiastic, and straight to the point. No sugar coating or bluffing. Always available and gives great work advice.
ALOT OF WORK.. BUT COOL AND HELPFUL TEACHER. IF YOU WANT AN A, YOU GOTTA WORK FOR IT.
Wonderful teacher! She's absolutely hilarious and I recommend taking her class. I'm signing up for her English II class because I loved her so much!
She is really cool and helpful.
She is a very good teacher. She helps you a lot when doing homework and explaining things. Have to write reading responses and 3 unit papers. Need the Writing about Writing book. Very good teacher!!
Professor Richardson is a great professor. She is a tough grader but will make you really understand your strengths and weaknesses as a writer to benefit you. She is always willing to help and is extremely approachable.
Took this class over summer. A lot of work but learned new information that will help me in later classes.
I had this professor for ENC 1101 & 1102. She is amazing. :) I look forward to working with her as I continue on as a student at UCF.
Professor Richardson is awesome! I had her over the summer and she is just too funny. She likes for her students to learn and does not want her students to look bored. She goes out of her way to help. There's a lot of work but you'll definitely learn alot in class as well as enjoy it. Book was definitely used all the time.
She's an awesome professor!
Professor Richardson is the BEST. She clearly explains everything you need to know. There is no busy work. Everything you do for class is necessary and you always know what is expected of you. On top of all this, she is hilarious and isn't afraid to be herself. She should be a comic!
Professor Richardson was literally one of the best English teachers I have ever had. I was never a good writer but literally I walked into her class scared and am walking out confident. She really breaks things down for you and makes the class relaxing and enjoyable!Her classes fill up really quick though so take her when you see her open!!
She's really helpful and she explains everything really well. Plus she's really funny and entertaining.
I have always been a relatively good writer, but professor Richardson made me even better. She's not hard if you take the time to listen and learn. The class is entertaining and shes really funny. Not only did I get an A but I gained a lot of knowledge from the class that I know will help me in ENC 1102
Hands down the best professor I have ever had. She is hilarious, very helpful, and you leave her class a better writer. If you're looking to actually learn something this class is for you. It may not be the easiest but its worth every second of your time!!!
Professor Richardson, a great English professor who is willing to help each student improve their writing skills. Attendance is required and papers are not easy. In order to get a high B or low A, u must overachieve from the beginning of the semester to the end. She is not an easy-grader, but you will learn to write better in all you do.
Great professor. Enjoyed her a lot. Not the hardest class but definitely not the easiest. I hated writing before because I wasn't good at it at all. She helped me tremendously!
Such a great professor! I took her without taking 1101 and had no problems. The assignments are clear and usually pretty simple, she's hilarious, tells you what you need to know, and grades fairly. Work hard, and participate and you'll be fine. I did so and ended up with an A :) take professor Richardson!
I loved her so much i took her for enc1102 also. She does give weekly assignments but each has a significant point for the final assignment. She keeps class interesting and makes everyone laugh. She is always helpful after class and at office hours. Go to class, follow guidlines and "dazzle" her and you will get an A.
My absolute favorite teacher ever! Professor Richardson wants every single one of her students to get an A and does everything she can to set you up to succeed. She doesn't require buying a textbook, only printing out a few readings. You have to go to class (you're allowed two absences) but she is hilarious and entertaining, so you won't mind!
This professor made class enjoyable in a subject I had rarely liked before. It is a composition class so prepare to write, however you aren't just thrown into a 12 page paper. It is a front weighted class. The professor knows it is a required class but I never once felt like I had to be there. It was enjoyable and truly improved my writing.
Professor Richardson is amazing! She is extremely helpful and goes out of her way to help her students succeed and learn as much as they can. I have learned so much from her class and she is always clear about what she wants in the papers. She is hilarious and a tremendous professor, take her if you get the chance!!
Easily my favorite professor ever. She made going to class fun and enjoyable. She gave clear instructions on what she expects for papers and assignments. Gives great feedback and is very helpful. Weekly assignments, but they aren't too bad. She is hilarious and overall an amazing professor!
Not the easiest professor but she's not that bad. She assigned more work then some other ENC 1102 professors. There are 3 major papers and a unneccesary portfolio as a final. If you put some type of effort in it, you can get a good grade. Only thing I didn't really like is I'll ask a question and she'll vaguely answer it
She's such a great professor, shes sososo funny and interactive! Shes not difficult but she will push you to be a better writer. Extremely understanding and helpful. she cares for her students and wants us to succeed. She's honestly amazing.
Professor Richardson is such a nice lady, she is very helpful and her door is always open. Any questions I may have had she answered right away and made sure I understood. The only problem I had was her major papers, they were very complex and somewhat hard to understand her expectations. Overall great lady she's funny, cracks dirty jokes.
Professor Richardson is very funny and can also be very sarcastic (towards students). There is a lot of work in this class - some of which seems excessive given the fact that it is a lower level English class. Many assignments and a long research paper at the end in addition to a portfolio - be ready to spend a lot of time on this class.
Attendance isn't mandatory, but it makes a lot of sense to go to class because the material requires your interactive attention. She gives great feedback, has a raunchy sense of humor, and will make you laugh without a doubt. I looked forward to this class. Some projects weren't fun (due to crap teamwork) but the experience was worth it!
Professor Richardson is an amazing professor. She's hilarious and really does her best to make sure her students succeed. During class time, she is very helpful with explaining online assignments and tells you exactly what she is looking for and will even give you feedback on your work. It's very hard to fail this class. Just put in the effort.
Professor Richardson is absolutely amazing! Very helpful and truly cares about her students. She is also super funny. I took her mixed mode class, so we only met once a week, but that was all that you really needed. Everything is submitted online, but keep track of it, it can build up. Just put in the time, and you'll pass.
I wish Professor Richardson taught every class I need to graduate! I learned a lot in her Professional Editing course. She is hilarious and keeps each lecture interesting and open to discussion. I've never dreaded a class ending before, nor have I ever written a review on this website. Take Professor Richardson's class, you will not regret it.
adele was great! we had three major papers, and they all worked together to help write the huge final paper at the end. she is so helpful and will answer any questions you have. the paper is 9-12 pages, but if you pick a topic you like it's a lot easier than you think. she's super sarcastic, so if you can't take a joke don't take this class.
She grades on the A- scale so you need like a 94 for an A. For a class that people take just cause its required she grades harsh, she looks to take away points more than to give you. The little things will get points taken off. Good isn't good enough for her, there's no such thing as perfection in her eyes. Her feedback is good though. Not a easy A
Amazing class, very well organized, three major papers then a final exam. Professor is extremely caring and will acknowledge your efforts. . She gives back great feedback for you to improve which I found to be extremely helpful. The class itself is very organized and easy. If you do everything that is required, easy A! :)
The professor is always available--she answers email quickly. There was a lot of homework and we used the books every week. I learned a lot tho. Just do the work and youll get a decent grade.
Professor Richardson taught me a lot. You can tell she cares about the subject and that she wants you to learn and succeed. There is reading involved and homework. She gives you one chance to do-over any assignment (except for the mid-term, quizzes, and final of course) you feel you can do better on. Her feedback is helpful too.
I learned A LOT in this course and did all the work that was assigned however I still barely passed. Richardson gives A LOT of group projects and if your project partners mess up their work, it reflects on your grade. Since it's an online course during a pandemic and nobody was taking it seriously, my work suffered A LOT.
Good feedback on discussions. Fast email replies. Many chances for extra credit (do it, you'll need it). ENC4212 is not geared toward creative writers. Apropos for corporate careers. 3 very complex assignments using Track Changes, APA style. Team up with classmates who influence your grade. Reading intensive - 3 textbooks. No credit for late work.
Best English Professor I've ever had and made me actually enjoy writing for once. She gives back great feedback and doesn't grade too hard. There were 9 discussion post, 3 essays, and a couple other writing assignments. The final essay was quite doable, especially with the work from other classes. I do suggest to buy the writer text book.
Solid choice! She gives work that requires a bit of thinking, but it leads up to each major paper. Dosent require you to use writing lab, but its a useful tool. When you read, I recommend highlighting text that seems familiar or useful, It might make a good quote. Answers emails quickly. Most papers involve personal experience. (writing/community
I took this course completely online, hence why attendance was not mandatory. Professor Richardson is a very empathetic human and genuinely cares about her students. She gives detailed rubrics that clearly lay out what is needed for each assignment. There's 2 major papers and the final exam is a self-designed website covering what you've learned.
I felt interested in what I was learning and gained so much practical experience. VERY fair grader with clear rubrics and some extra credit. Light work load, mainly discussion posts and a few editing assignments that are not difficult and easy to understand. 2 required textbooks, the Saller one is so useful and a nice read. Easy course lovely prof.
She's rude when she gives you feedback on your papers if you could call it "feedback." The class was mainly discussions, which only made you "think" about editing. There was rarely any editing done. There were only three significant editing assignments, two of which were group projects (and one was just a letter). Easy A. Minimal effort needed.
I am only a few weeks into this class so this may be a premature review, but I am absolutely furious. This class has been incredibly annoying. Every single assignment has been over a boring and senseless topic. I have learned absolutely nothing. If you want to write about interesting topics, learn anything, or be graded fairly, look elsewhere.
This professor can be very rude and condescending. The class itself is not difficult, but the assignment topics are boring, and I did not learn anything. Normally I enjoy writing and composition classes, but I hated every second of this one. She gives some extra credit and is a tough grader on some assignments but not on others.
Even though the class was online, she did an amazing job in including assignments that enhanced our reading & writing abilities and that connected us to our classmates! She made many reminders and provided great feedback. I was a little confused about the final project's setup, but she was there to answer my questions. :D
Very nice prof. Responds to emails quickly. Clearly reviews your work because she gives plenty of in-text comments (don't expect them to be sugar-coated. She's not rude, just straightforward). Grades pretty quickly. Lots of reading and homework but it's all very practical! If you want learn about editing, you will (if you put in the effort).
Just an stereotypical English professor
Amazing professor! Responds to emails and gives great feedback. Discussions and 2 major papers, with other written assignments. Final project is Portfolio - as long as its organized and well-navigated you will be fine. Overall, professor is very straightforward, just do the assignments and you will have an A. Just alot of work.
Super sweet and responsive! Assignments include discussions, writings, 2 major papers, and an ePortfolio final. Final isn't hard but time consuming so start early. Gives great feedback and grades fast. Easy A if you follow instructions and stay on top of work.
