I felt like I was back in kindergarden, and everyone in the class went along with it. That must be what going mad feels like. And workshop is just as bad. She has no idea how to just tell someone they're bad at writing. Everyone probably left that class thinking themselves "unique". This is not a good review. The class is too easy; too boring.

She follows the syllabus very well there are no surprises. She walks you through each of the papers even the research paper by writing your opening paragraphs and giving you benchmarks+time in class for the research paper. You don't really need the grammar book, she lends students her three copies in classed she writes everything on the board.

Prof Sharp is a fantastic English professor and I would recommend taking her class if you're looking for a supportive teacher who gives LOTS of feedback on papers. She requires 3 essays, plus one in-class essay and a research paper. She encourages students to ask questions and swing by her office hours, and is always extremely welcoming and kind!

Professor Sharp was great! Kind and amazing with her words. There's 5 papers but she helps you prep a LOT and gives you a lot of time to work on things. The grammar lessons help with your writing and she'll let you fix little errors in your essays for more points.

Prof Sharp is very helpful in shaping you into a better writer. I took her 1AH class and her group discussion/peer evaluation sessions were very helpful. Essays prompts are very clear and her feedback is very clear and helpful. Definitely recommend for 1A or 1AH. :)

Professor Sharp is enthusiastic and cares about her students. I took her summer class for 6 weeks. Our final grade was the average of our essay grades. Finish every paper and apply the feedback and you will get an A. Professor Sharp provides great feedback and ensures that you have the tools to set you up to become a great writer.

For the whole semester there were 6 discussions (about 2 photos, 3 articles, and a short play) and 5 essays (analyses of one of the photos, two of the articles, the play, and a research paper). The essays were all 5 paragraphs and the research paper was 5 pages. She gives really good feedback and a lot of time to complete everything.

I took Professor sharps summer English course. We had a discussion and about one essay due every week. She graded fairly quick and gave great feedback. She makes sure you know what to improve on and leaves room for improvement. As long as you do the readings and put in your best effort, you should get an A. Highly recommend taking this course !

Prof. Sharp is the kindest, most involved teacher you will ever meet. She clearly loves stories and is the right person to teach creative writing. No textbook costs, extensive feedback on everything I wrote, loads of advice about other college resources, programs, can clubs too. Take her class, you will be better for it.

5 papers are split into segments due each week, doing the grammar exercises bumps your paper half a letter grade. Prof Sharp gives very clear feedback and suggestions, if you wrote more than what was due that week she will comment accordingly. I found her sample outlines and formatting examples very helpful. Overall highly recommended!

Professor Sharp is the best! Grade is based on 4 essays and 1 research paper at the end. She is very clear on what she is looking for. I also took 1AS, which just consisted of grammar exercises or essay outlines to see your progress. Most of the work is completed in class. Show up & turn in assignments on time - you will get a good grade.

Professor for the most part was a decent teacher. She broke up how to do the essay in multiple assignments for each one. Had her class as a "online course" but had to do a in-person support class that was mandatory. could only miss 3 days and after if you missed anymore you be dropped n was very pushy about not missing the support class.

Professor Adrienne Sharp wasn't a bad overall, she was lenient on late work and would give insight into the work that needed to be done and how to do it. There were a total of 5 essays in which one had to be done in class and another was a research paper. However, if you have her support class she will drop you after 3 days of missing class.

Prof. Sharp is an amazing professor that I unfortunately took for granted. Her lectures were very helpful and gave the best feedback I've ever had. Reason why I took her teaching for granted was because I didn't do my work since I was a busy high school student at the time, but received a B+. Overall, you'll only do 4 essays for the online course

Ms. Sharp is an amazing prof. she is so caring and kind. We read W;T ($10) which we have to buy on our own but the teacher has a couple of her own if your not able to get it. The workload not heavy, just dedicate some time for her class and you'll be good. Theirs essays every like 1-2 weeks which she gives good feedback on. IF YOU CAN TAKE HER!

Have not had a better college professor, one who actually prioritizes teaching and invites you to ask all the questions. Professor Sharp is also one of those teachers who genuinely want to see you succeed, especially if she sees you putting in the effort to improve. I learned MLA format writing in this class and feel very confident in my work now.

Best professor I've ever had. When I put effort into my essays, she praised me in a way that I felt like she truly saw the amount of thought and time I put into it. As a result, I challenged myself to write the best essays I could. Each time I was awarded the gift of feeling truly seen by this teacher. I am beyond grateful to Professor Sharp.
