Dr. Riddles is an amazing professor! I never liked English before this class, but she makes it interesting. She is funny and kind and down to earth. As long as you do the work and participate everything goes smooth. Definitely recommend!
I hated English class before being in Dr. Riddles course, but I really enjoyed her class.She is a REALLY GREAT professor! She is helpful, cares about her students, and funny. Just show up to class and do the work which is not very hard and you should easily have an A or B. I looking for her to be my teacher in ENC1102... definitely recommend!
I am SO bad at english and she was AWESOME! Very down to earth and helpful. I don't want to say it was an "easy" A, but it was much more managable to get the grade. You have to actually read the material to pass the quizzes and participate, taking notes really helps too. But if you put in a fair amount of time into the class you'll do great!
The best teacher ever! I learned so much. She understands that we all have other obligations and will work with you as long as you do not abuse it. Take her! You will not regret it. "A" Class if you do the work. Irsc is lucky to have her.
ok Dr. Riddles is really cool, down to earth. if u actually read the stories and particaption then you'll do fine. the essays are not that hard. i toke her for enc1101 and enc1102(got A's in both) and im sooo happy that i did. take her!!
Dr. Riddles is an awesome teacher. She is funny, fair and makes classes interesting. Class was relatively easy 5 essays, and approx 5 quizzes. She gave extra credit. I really enjoyed this class and look forward to taking ENC1102 with her.
This is one of the best English classes I've taken. Dr. Riddles is an amazing teacher and has a great personality to match. The class is easy to understand and if you do so much as pay attention you'll do fine. I'd recommend her for anyone that isn't fond of English and wants to do well
I took this class online, she was very helpful and patient. I went to see her in the office once for help and she was very nice. I definately recommend taking her online!
Profesor Riddles was the best english teacher I've ever had. She really made me feel good about my essays. There are about 4 essays and a final exam essay. The other part of the class is particpaton and reading the required stories and having quizes. She is a very easy grader and gives extra credit. I will deff take her again for ENC1102!! Recomend
She was the best English teachers I've ever had. Her essays were very clear and challenging but easy at the same time. She made English fun and she was really funny. We had great debates and discussions in class. Everyone take her!!!!
She is the BEST teacher I have had at IRSC, she is funny, always has a Extra Credit ? very helpful and wants everyone to pass. Easy A if you take her.Very funny and down to earth. =] =] =]
She is very nice and helps alot with class. she goes over your essay and gives it back so you can get a better grade. all you have to do is keep up with the reading which really isn't that much. Oh and when you have teacher review all you have to do is meet her at her office for 10 minutes or so to go over the essay and then you're free!
AWESOME TEACHER! IF I COULD TAKE HER AGAIN I WOULD! SHE WAS FUNNY/SARCASTIC, INTERACTED ALOT WITH HER STUDENTS, INTERESTING SUBJECTS, HELPS YOU WITH ESSAYS. VERY NICE AND UNDERSTANDING! NEVER GOT MAD, I LOVED HER! AND SHE LOVES DUNKIN DONUTS COFFEE.
I recommend this teacher so much. If you treat her as a friend instead of a teacher it will only help you more. You do use the book a lot, but the class is such an easy A with her being such a laid back person. If you want to have a fun class, Riddles is the way to go.
She's freaking awesome, I'm taking her again for Eng 1102. I highly recommend this class.
Any student who has Dr. Riddles as an English instructor has lucked out. She makes interesting what can be a difficult and dry subject. She knows her stuff, motivates the students to learn and handles the classroom in a deft fashion. Great sense of humor. I doubt if Ivy League students would have a better English instructor. Dr. Riddles rocks.
Best professor ever! Dr. Riddles rules! IRSC is so lucky to have her. Highly recommend.
Best professor in all of IRSC. Made everything so casual and easy to understand. All essays were short and were easy to write because they are about yourself. She was funny and sarcastic which made class a blast to come to. If yo missed class she never got mad just was supportive. REALLY recommend this professor for all ENC classes!
Textbook was used daily as homework. You read the required reading and had a quiz each beginning of class. She always had one bonus question that no one could get wrong (what's your favorite color, etc). Essay's were overall easy to write as well. She's nice and in class discussions are fun at times. As long as you read the stories your fine.
This by far is the greatest teacher that I have ever had. Before this class I absolutely hated English, and it turned out to be my favorite class in college. The class does require input, but what you get out of it is simply amazing. Dr. Riddles, YOUR THE BEST!
I took her course online and she was very clear about what she expected in regards to the assignments and directions she wants you to follow. As long as you do exactly what she tells you and turn in assignments on time you should get an A no problem
Dr. Riddles is the best professor I've ever had. She goes above and beyond for her students, is very funny and nice and will always work with you. Take her you will not regret it.
Dr. Riddles is the best!It is very obvious that she loves her job, and she is very good at it. She knows her subject matter, is very funny and caring and will always work with you even if you need extra help outside of class.
Truly an amazing teacher! She makes English fun and makes all students interact. She develops great discussions within class. She is very witty, funny, intelligent, and kind. To this day I am friends with her. I 100% recommend to take her!C:
She is super awesome and hands down my favorite teacher ever!
Creative writing is a really easy class and the teacher is amazing! Seriously, just follow the very few things she asks you to do and you're guaranteed an A. It's your own fault if you don't gen an A in Creative Writing.
she is very understanding. in class work is easy. the only quizzes you have are 5 questions regarding a story you read for homework. essay topics are easy too! overall is a great teacher between tone,class work and grades.
Professor Riddles is wonderful. I love the format of her class. The homework entails reading quizzes, grammar assignments, and essays. As long as you follow instructions, you will do well in this class. She is extremely helpful and responds quickly to emails. I am taking her again for ENC1102.
Absolutely the best class I have ever taken...didn't like English before and she made me love it. 5 ques. Quiz on stories you have read with extra credit every quiz. Essay that she help you with and give u feedback. Always ans emails and there when you need her. Her class is a MUST take. Lots of extra credit opportunity.
This teacher here, is the BEST teacher i have ever had since i started college. You read little short stories and have five question quizes on them w/ extra credit, and then she have you do themes.Essays are easy.Feedback is also helpful.overall GREAT teacher, wish she taught EVERY subject !!
Took online for Summer I, it's extremely easy! 4 quizzes and 5 essays; which are easy. Plus for the quizzes you get to use your text book. The final exam is your 5th essay. I definitely recommend taking her. Dr.Riddles is one of the best!
Took this class over the summer great teacher and responded to emails quickly.
Took Dr. Riddles for ENC1102. She is by far my favorite teacher. She's personable and truly cares about your success. As long as you pay attention, participate in class, and do the assignments you will have no problem getting a good grade.
I absolutely loved Riddles! I had her for 1101 for Summer I as my first dual enrollment class and it was super easy! You will need the Short Reader quite a bit, but the other book I used only once. She is willing to help if you need it. I'm trying so hard to get into her 1102 class. She is AMAZING!!
Great teacher! Assignments during the week are super easy. Usually consist of reading a couple short stories and answering some questions. Papers were also pretty easy. She also is very prompt in responding to emails. Great professor, will take again!`\
I’m not good n Eng; was 2nd time 4 me & very apprehensive takin ONLINE-GREAT COURSE! Took SUM I replaced “D” wit “A” - Up 2 u 2 stay on top of wkly assignmnts & due dates. Have issues, questions or need help, future assignmnts not posted–email her directly, she’ll respond next day or earlier–she’s right on top of things. Definitely take her again!
NO DOUBT – RIDDLES IS THE BEST! Took ENC 1102 SUM II ONLINE - do assignments/test/essays you’ll do great! You can tell she likes teaching – cuz she wants everyone to succeed and do their best – just email her with any problems or questions you have, she’ll respond ASAP. Her classes are TOTALLY AWESOME!
I absolutely love Dr. Riddles. I hated English until I got into her class. She made everything interesting and she was extremely helpful!
This professor is one of the best at IRSC. She helped me so much and she made the class fun and interesting. I had dropped out of the 1102 class I had with Dr. Van Camp the semester before b/c of how horrible she was. Dr. Riddles made that class awesome. I wish I could take her again for a different course.
She is an amazing teacher! love her she is very nice. she is be clear on what she talks about in class> i highly recommended her you will definitely get an A if you follow her guidelines
AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing professor. She is so funny and sarcastic. 4 essays throughout the semester and they are easy. She looks at your rough drafts. I had her Tuesday and Thursday, so if she sees your essay Tuesday then you don't have to go to class that Thursday! I'm taking her for ENC1102. Sign up for her the first day because her classes fill up very quickly.
Amazing Professor. She is awesome! She’s extremely funny and sarcastic. There are 4 essays over the whole semester. They are super easy. Her class is a lot of fun! I took her for ENC1101 and I’m taking her next semester for ENC1102. Would DEFINETLY recommend taking her! Sign up first because her classes fill up quickly :)
Took her online, you have easy homework from the two books she assigns. And a total of five essays to do. Easy. Only problem was there was a communication breakdown towards the end and it had me wondering what my grade was since apparently ANGEL wasn't properly updating and she wouldn't email me back what my grade was.
I took this class online and was quite easy. Five essays, and some grammatical homework along with reading passages with questions to answer after the reading. Grading is fair. Organized rubrics for assignments.
My favorite professor at IRSC. Dr. Riddles is extremely helpful, down to earth, and funny. Makes class very enjoyable. I wish all professors were like her.
Very helpfull, she explains very well and appreciates hard work. Favorite teacher ever!
She was great! Class was super easy and just had a lot of discussions. Had to write like 4 3pg. papers but they were really easy also. All you have to do is show up before class read the stories and take a 5 question quiz. If you do that you will have a guaranteed A+
She is a good teacher and extremely easy. She always lets you out of class early. You have to write 5 essays. First you go through peer review, then she helps you, then you submit it for a grade. Take her if you want an easy A. Not my favorite professor, but not bad...
If Dr. Riddles is not your favorite professor there is something wrong with you. She is a wonderful professor and really knows her stuff. Her class can be easy if you show up and do the work. She is always around to help you and is very understanding. Genuinely cares about her students and is funny and kind.
The BEST freaking teacher at IRSC, hands-down. Highly recommend you take her class. If you follow the syllabus, you are guaranteed an easy A. She's absolutely hilarious and has a great personality. You'll have fun in this class, and learn how to write great essays, no doubt.
Dr. Riddles is an AWESOME teacher!!! She has a great personality and makes learning fun! You need the book-reading daily with easy in class quizzes. She will teach you how to write great essay's too, without the stress! Show up for class, follow the syllabus and you'll get an A!
Dr. Riddles is a great teacher. Do the work and you will pass this class with a high grade. Very helpful and so glad I chose her for this class. She cares about her students :)
This class was ridiculously easy. I took it online. There were two, 5-question reading assignments that were taken directly from the required reading and didn't even have to be answered in full sentences. Then there were 4 simple essays. That's it. Riddles grades very easily - I literally had a 100 on every assignment. She is bad with communication
Dr. Riddles is awesome. She goes out of her way for her students. She will even look over work before you submit for a grade. Very helpful and kind. Responds to emails very quick.
Dr. Riddles is fantastic! I love her. She makes English easy as possible and is very helpful.
Ever since Dr. Riddles took over the creative writing program it has been awesome. This class is so much fun and you will learn a lot. It's run like a grad school workshop and there are students in there like me who have taken it several times. awesome professor and great person.
Took Dr Riddles for ENC1101 & EC1102. She is AWESOME! Everything is clear & if you put in some effort you can pass with an A. Sometimes takes a bit to post your grades on Angel, but again, if you just try & hand in decent work you will pass with an A. Wish I could have taken an actual class because I have heard her classes are interesting. :-)
Great teacher! She's easy and is always there to help if you have any questions. As long as you put in a little bit of effort you will pass with an A.
Dr. Riddles was an awesome teacher and super easy. YOU MUST TAKE HER! She replies back quickly and grades do take some time for her to get them in but other then that I took her for Summer I and got all 100's on every assignment. She offers to read your papers before the due date. It seems impossible to fail her class
The directions are easy and so are the assignments. You write a few essays and then you're done. That's it. I didn't learn any. I never received feedback on my papers and I never received a reply to any of my emails. Take it online if you need something ridiculously easy. Passed with 100%
Dr. Riddles is excellent! She is so helpful and kind. Answers emails very fast and offers to look at your essay drafts before you turn them in for a grade. She is very understanding and you will learn a lot in this course! Great teacher. Def recommend.
POOR COMMUNICATION!!! She will wait weeks to reply to emails and sometimes never. She has an "ask your instructor" discussion board in which she never replies to. She doesn't grade anything unless you harass her, otherwise she waits until the end. I really wanted feedback and never got it. I put in no effort and still got a B.
Her class was super easy, she is very straightforward. She likes to go straight to the point. We only wrote 4 essays, and she offers to read your draft before you turn it in, so it is super easy to earn an A. I will take her again for English 2. Highly recommended.
best professor you can have. she is hilarious and the essays are easy. the reading quizzes are a little difficult. but overall I HIGHLY recommend her for English. she is so chill and her class is fun.
She might be great in person, but I wouldn't recommend online. Communication was terrible, and grades weren't posted until the end of the semester so I had no idea how I was doing. Took forever to get answers from her. Class was easy, though.
Dr. Riddles is the best, and I'm guessing the few negative reviews on here are from students who didn't do the work and got a bad grade. She actually has the quickest and best communication out of all of my professors. Ever since she took over the creative writing program it is SO much better. You learn a lot from her in class for sure.
Best English Professor hands down. ENG 1 was a breeze and she was so great I took her for ENG 2 as well. Highly recommend.
If I could take Prof Riddles for every class, I would. She is truly a great teacher, and really wants to see you succeed. There's a couple essays, but she has a one-on-one review day to look it over before you turn it in. And the book is MANDATORY. Reading quizzes almost every class- they are easy if you read the assignments. Overall favorite class
Professor Riddles was awesome! I really waned to take her for the summer but was bummed when I found out it was a 7 o'clock class. She's sarcastic and funny! It was a good time being in her class. 4 essays and just reading quizzes. Keep up the good work Riddles.
She is an exceptional educator. She makes learning fun. She explains everything, so there is no guess work. She truly cares for her students. She will read drifts before paper due dates, so there is no reason you can't get a good grade. She is the best English professor at IRSC!
very good teacher. she made English fun while teaching. she was very helpful and gave you every opportunity to get a good grade.
great, easy, and fun teacher. she is very organized and knowledgeable about the subject. best English teacher ever.
Creative writing is a fun class, but it is not an easy A- you have to work hard to earn a good grade. Dr. Riddles is a rare breed. She is by far the most excellent professor that I've encountered during my academic career. I highly recommend Dr. Riddles. She genuinely cares about her students and wants them to succeed.
Best professor ever. She explains everything on the first day and doesn’t mind answering questions. Her email response is fast and she’s always friendly. Super fun class. As long as you do the work, don’t slack off, and actually attend, you’ll love it! Awesome lady, she’s the best professor I’ve ever had at IRSC.
She is the best I have had. Her class is really easy and she loves helping. The book is necessary, but the reading quizzes are only 5 questions and she always gives an EC (extra credit) question. The essays are long, but they are easy and she always helps and gives you plenty of time (about a week) to finish them.
She is such an awesome teacher, I loved going to her class . I took her for english1 and 2. Her class is really easy. Just make sure you show up to class and do the work, also you need both textbook.
I love Dr. Riddles she is very helpful and loves her students! She makes her class fun and isn't too strict on essay work, but makes you work for your grade. I love the class and would take another class with her again. A+ professor!
I enjoyed Dr. Riddle's class very much. She gets straight to the point but if you have a question, she will take the time to explain until you get it. She is likeable and easy to get along with. Talk to her and she will help you out; she cares about her students and understands that life happens and things get in the way of school.
Riddles is a very understanding teacher. I had to miss a few classes for a funeral, and she let me make up the work without much of a hassle. The reading quizzes can be a little tricky, but there is extra credit in each one. The essays are nearly impossible to fail, as she does both peer and instructor review. Highly recommend for dual-enrollment.
Dr Riddles is the easiest most fun english teacher ever. If you read the stories & participate in class you'll do great! She gives about 4 essays but i got a 100% on all .. a very fair grader! If you can't pass this class i don't know whats wrong with you. Definitely recommend taking her :)
I took Riddles for Creative Writing. I enjoyed this class immensely, however, if you are not talkative or are rather shy I do not recommend, a huge partgrade of this class is participation. She responded promptly to emails, however, never posted any grades. Only down side is that she is very emotional, you will never know her mood. Otherwise great
I took Dr. Riddles for ENC1101 and she was phenomenal! She cares about her students and takes time to remember everyones names which is nice. If you do her work and turn in papersrough drafts on time, the class will be a breeze. English has always been my least favorite subject, but this was by far my best class this semester.
She was an amazing professor! super funny& relatable! Definitely reccomend
Dr. riddles class was easy and enjoyable. we had class discussion, quick quizzes and we had to write 6 essays. she is really stick about coming to class on time, and encourages participation
Dr. Riddles makes the class fun and easy to understand. She knows her students by name and is big on participation. If you show up for class, take lots of notes, have assignments in on time, and read everything she tells you, it will all work out. I have taken at least three classes with her and she has been great throughout all of them. love her!
She is so funny and helpful. She gives really good feedback on your essays. I looked forward to her class discussions. You need to speak up in class. I would take her again.
She was a wonderful teacher. Class discussions were always a lot of fun, she is hilarious. I wouldn't hesitate to take her class again. There are about 5 essays, but she gives you ALL the opportunity to revise them and get an A.
Dr. Riddles was a very good professor. I took her for Creavtive Writing and enjoyed it immensely. She will help you become a better writer. However, it is important that you come to class and speak out as well. Overall, I would recommend her to anyone that is trying to improve their writing skills.
Flat out fantastic professor. Really helps students improve their writing with the course set up & it's absolutely worth your time. Attendance is important. Submitting your writing happens roughly every two weeks which is plenty of time to create anything you want. Very open, cares, funny, critiques professionally and pleasantly. Brilliant lady!
Dr. Riddles is an awesome professor who makes every class fun to be in. She made something that I hated to something that that I now don't mind doing! Writing comes easily now. I would definitely take another class as her as the professor.
The best English professor at IRSC. Guaranteed easy "A" if you come to class and give effort. Professor Riddles make the class interesting by joking around a lot. Attendance is important. NO cellphones NO cheating. Group projects to help the shy people. Extra Credit and if you turn in your rough draft in two weeks early you will get and "A"
Love Dr. Riddles! Awesome class. Took ENC1101 with her. The format of the class is Thursday she assigns a paper on Tuesday two peers review it. Than on Thursday she reviews it. Than the next Tuesday it is due. Interesting writing topics and only 3 page essays. It consists of 5 essays and a few quizzes just on small things you read in the textbook
Awesome teacher, she understands every situation. Very straight forward, essay and reading quizzes and some classwork here and there. A little quick paced but the information gets through. Would recommend.
This is an amazing professor. She is absolutely hilarious and makes the class so much more fun. Very easy grader and your essays get peer reviewed and also reviewed by her before turning it in. I would recommend this professor to anyone taking an English class. Would love to take her again next semester for ENC1102.
This class is wonderful and the professor is super funny. As long as you read the short stories for the quizzes and know how to write an essay you should get a high A.
Such a sweet prof, has the class schedule and gets everything done. Expect reading homework for quizzes and a max of 5 essays. Would recommend to anyone. Awesome!!!
Dr. Riddles is an absolutely amazing professor! She definitely knows her stuff and is always happy to help. This is a workshop. There are no tests or quizzes - just submit a few original works of writing and it is critiqued by Riddles and classmates openly in class. She is HILARIOUS! Whether you are a writer or not, you will love this class!!!
Riddles was a great professor to have. I had an early class, so if class was cancelled, it would be difficult to know before I drove to the college. She assigns an essay each week. Don't miss more than 5 classes, be there ON TIME on quiz days, and PRINT your essays ON TIME, and you will pass.
Amazing! She gives a 5 question quiz from readings that are assigned. Exact to Syllabus unless she was absent (Only because of medical reasons). There are a few essays. After each is turned in she must look at it and a peer review must be done. Then a final copy has to be turned in. She also gives extra credit towards the end of the course.
Best English teacher I've ever had and one of the best teachers period. She is very helpful, doesn't nit-pick, is incredibly nice, and treats her students as her own. She's a selfless woman, really. I would take her again and again for every class if I could. People love her. TAKE HER!!
Greatest English teacher I've had. She's lenient on late work as long as you talk to her about it. Check out the schedule and read the stories assigned because there are 5 question quizzes on them with a random extra credit question. The essays are based on yourself; make sure you print out 2 copies for peer grading. She lets you eat during class.
Great teacher, she is very helpful and understanding and funny!
I really liked Dr. Riddles and will be taking her again in the future.
Dr. Riddles is one of those very rare extraordinary professors who teaches to the whole class. She is also hilarious. Her class is always fun. As someone said, she is selfless, and would do anything for her students. She learns everyones'names because as she says we are individuals and should be treated as such. I recommend her to everyone.
Dr. Riddles will do anything for her students. She is very down to earth, and very understanding. Her character speaks for itself. She is an outstanding professor and a wonderful human being. She has helped me so much. She never gets mad, and has a tremendous amount of patience. She's the best at IRSC no question.
Another English god I met.
One of the greats. Cares deeply about her student's success and well-being, as well as her craft. Gives excellent feedback and creates a wonderful environment for learning and growing as a writer. Loved her.
She's the best professor I've ever had. So caring and understanding and she's hilarious. Genuinely cares about each student and wants you to do well. I learned a lot and I definitely recommend her you won't regret it.
