At first, I didn't care for her, but once you get to know her, she is fricken hilarious. A tough, but good teacher. Let's you be EXTREMELY creative with your writing. Highly recommend for 101.

I had her for American Lit. At first I thought she was a horrible person. But her class in all actuality is easy. The only things on her tests, are the things she discusses in class. All you have to do is come to class and take notes.

I liked her and her class. If you read the assignments that she tells you to you should be okay. But take those papers seriously!!!!

Pelegrin was a good teacher, but not suited for me. She asked every day if anyone had questions about grammar and helped them...then assigned another paper.

just works on papers

You write four essays, and take maybe two quizes. She isn't hard. She comes with alot of attitude though

If you go to class everyday and follow assignment instructions it an easy class.

Does a good job helping with essays

Awesome teacher. Very enthusiastic. A lot of fun and class discussions where enlightening. Great class.

She is very good teacher. She explains everything before essays are due.

Great teacher. Alot of reading but the test are very fair. She usually doesnt like to scantron, but when she does if she sees a question that most people missed she will throw it out and and points to everyones test

cool teacher!!

She is a good teacher. Very funny and helpful if you went to her outside of class. The assignments may seem like they are coming out of left field sometimes, but she has a knack for relating the theme to what is going on in the world.

Class discussions are always intersting. You have to write 7 essays during the semester, two of which are your midterm and final (they're in-class essays). She explains the essays really well and is extremely helpful.

She is amazing and so utterly relaxed and FUN!!

She is thee best. She's always making class interesting with discussion and i just love the stories of her kids. Wonderful teacher!!!!!

this class is ok...the way she grades papers are stupid

Class was great overall. She does her best to keep students involved in class discussions. Class can choose to have tests in class or online. Attendance isnt required but show up b/c it'll help, and all you have to do is the readings so you can particpate in class. By far one of the better English professors on campus.

She was the BEST English teacher. She was understanding and willing to help. She does expect her students to be responsible and punctual when turning in assignments. However, she will allow late work. She works with you to ensure that you have the best experience in her class. I WOULD DEFINITELY TAKE HER AGAIN!

Ms. Pelegrin is probably the best eng teacher i have ever had. She is very artistic and likes for students to dig deep. She sometimes cancels class and is one of the funniest professors in the world! She relates things to real life and is really layed back.

she is really helpful.

She is very passionate about english which makes her class fun, but only if you read the material. Her essays are a little hard to get a good grade on because you don't know exactly what she wants. She's really funny and nice. Just go to class, read the material, participate, and you will be fine.

She's a good teacher, but sometimes it's really difficult to understand exactly what she wants from your essays. She has opinions on the books she reads and if you disagree with her, you are wrong. That's a good thing to keep in mind when writing an essay. She was a good teacher, though, and very passionate about English.

SHE IS A ERY GOOD TEACHER WITH CERTAIN THINGS. SHE IS VERY INTRESTINGAND VERY OPEN MINDED.

She will be easy if you do all your works. Lots of points journal points,extra points,and a bit tough grading for essays but full marks for other assignment

I was dreading having to take this class. I have actually been putting it off for a couple of years now, and I opted to take this class online with Dr. Pellegrin and she was AMAZING!! I literally made perfect scores on all my discussion board responses. I made a 99 in the class. Best decision I ever made!!

Amazing teacher, interacted with the class a lot which really helped in learning the material. Very enthusiastic about English. Three essays, a midterm and a final. Would definitely take again!

Tests are easy, plus the journals are an easy 30 points. The essays are the real killers, but,if you get a halfway decent grade on them, you'll pass the class no problem.

Her class is very, very easy. You have journals every week which are an easy 30 points. You only have 3 essays, one for each book you read in class. She is very into the epics we read and tries to engage the class. I have never had a problem with her. I made full points on every journal, an A on the midterm, and high B's on the essays. Easy A.

Easy teacher but likes to pick favorites! Learned very little that pertained to my initial interest in the class. Will not take her again.

Pretty easy teacher (especially for honors) Definitely picked favorites really early on. She never even tried to hide her opinion on any of the text we read and she never busted anyone for their cell phone going off. (Something that happened almost every class) Still, she was nice, understanding and knew what she was talking about. Just too easy.

Attendance is mandatory. Heavy reading throughout semester with 1000 word paper due for each book. Quizzes and exams are easy and she prepares you well. Papers are graded hard, but she is always available to help you with them in person or over email. There is a semester project! Very passionate about poetry. She is an intense teacher.

You will do a lot of writing. There are three essays and a final creative project plus two exams and occasional surprise quizzes. She can be a little boring but if you read the books and can write well, you will be just fine. Not a bad experience at all.

Good teacher!!! take her!!

She's not bad. Take her if you want an A!!

She is a very good professor. She usually ends class early and if you submit a rough draft to her you receive bonus points. She's a good teache. I just wish she taught 102

Easy Grader, Just show up to class and participate and you'll get a easy A.

Just the right amount of snarkiness. Good assignments. Easy A for me.

Take her. She knows her stuff. Sweet lady.

She is such a great teacher. Your papers will count as test grades in her class so make sure you know what you're doing. If you show up to class, you will always have an idea of what your assignments should be in exact detail. I know English can be boring but do NOT skip, you won't know what's going on and you will fail.

I loved this class. She is an awesome teacher and makes writing poetry a joy! We get helpful feedback on our work and have a great time in class. If you just do your work correctly and show up to class, you will get an A. You have a poem due every week, reciting some poetry in front of class, a collaborative assignment, and 2 poetry workshops!

OH MY GOD. The study guides are so hard!! It takes forever to complete them and she grades them very hard. The tests are very easy though. She is super sweet and responds very quickly to emails. The class itself is hard and I believe she is doing a pretty good job at lightening the work. Just don't wait until the last minute to do everything

She is a sweet teacher. Didn't like Kelly Link but she made stories okay.

This class is a ton of work, but the way she breaks it down makes it pretty easy. Just don't fall behind with the study guides and you should be fine. Test is all writing but it is open book and you can take as much time as you need. Prepare to put in the work but if you do it is an A. Study guides do take a lot of time though.

She always looks at the first page of your essay to check the thesis and how things are going. This helped me a lot. One thing I didn't like was how you have to be in class to get credit for work, but I didn't miss much.

One of the easiest professors I have taken. Essays only had to be 3 pages long. I waited till the last possible minute to write mine and still got a good grade every time. Does bring up politics ALL the time which can be annoying if you're not a liberal. After Trump won the election she came to class in all black like she was mourning lmfao.

She gets off topic in class. Slow to grade papers but gives a lot of feedback. Really cares for students and it shows .

I took her for English 101. She is an awesome teacher. Never be afraid to ask questions, she will help you in a heart beat. Easy grader

We wrote four essays the whole semester and she has a schedule to let you know when everything is due. MyWritingLAb is required for the class and so is the Crosscurrents book, you will have tests from it and we had our final out of there too. Do not miss class, two should be the most, because she makes the essays much more understandable.

I love Dr. Pelegrin! She's sarcastic and will put you in your place, but even if you show the slightest initiative, she will help you! Awesome teacher, awesome lectures, and super understanding.

Very easy class. She grades papers easy. She is very nice and if you do everything required you are granted an A or B

If you keep up with her coursework, youll get an A. Lowest grade I made was a 92 on the midterm. Doesnt grade too too hard.

Easy class, but time consuming. Study guides are 40% of your grade and due every Sunday. Put enough detail and show that you really tried and you will get full credit. 4 discussion posts that are 30% of your grade, very easy to get full credit. And midterm and final that are also 30% of your grade. Did not have to take final bc of high grade.

I took her online and it was an easy A. weekly study guides worth 50 points each and there are 4 discussion forums spread out through the semester. midterm and final are easy as well. if English is not your strong suit I recommend taking this class.

I learned more from Pelegin in our "The Writer's Life" class than I have from any other instructor in the last three years. Yes, she gave a lot of homework, but it wasn't anything too strenuous and she stuck to her word when she said she would not read personal entries in our daily writings. She allowed room for the creative spirit to flourish!

ONLINE CLASS! Was exactly what a literature class should be - lots of reading. The readings were interesting and weekly lectures were uploaded to help with understanding. Grading was weighted so that tests did not kill your grade. Do the work between the tests and you are sure to pass with a decent grade!

It has been 2 years since I took this class but I still think about it it. No essays, only weekly "study guides" which were short answer questions you fill in the blanks after the readings. 4 forum discussions, a mid and final which were not difficult as long as you kept up with reading. I made an F with another professor but got an A in this class

Great professor! I took her for 102-H and 291-H, and both semesters I finished with a great grade and learned a lot from her feedback. This class is discussion based and she gives you a lot of creative freedom in writing. She also gives grades based of off short answer writing prompts in the beginning of class so attendance is important.

Took 102 and 291. Class is mandatory. Lots of readings in 102 during lectures and lots of reading outside of 291 lectures. Finished most assignments in 30 minutes. Shows concern for academics and performance. Emailed me about my well-being. Offers extra credit. Dropped my 0/50, which brought my B to an A. It's an easy class as long as you try.

As someone who was dreading taking another English class, I actually enjoyed this class; she makes it easy and understandable, take her! Class format is easy to follow. A good chunk of reading for each unit but doesn't take that long if you set aside time for it. Very kind and caring professor, especially with the "Moodler incident" this semester
