Ms. Harrison is the most amazing Professor. I encourage all to take this class.

Amanda is amazing. You only have to write 3 essays...kinda hard but she is always willing to help. If you are not a hard worker and like to ditch... this class is not for you. There is a lot of work in this class, but I feel it will benefit in the long run.

This teacher is really nice and and she brought us donuts one time. She gives little essay exercises which then lead to a bigger essay. She gives time to do your outline, then draft then your essay. We read really interesting books in this class. LOVED HER!! No tests, only a few quizzes on readings. AMAZING TEACHER.

Professor Harrison is absolutely amazing. Her class might be a little challenging but her instructions and the way she guides you through the whole process makes things easy and simple. She gives you a lot of extra credit opportunities as well. However, attendance IS mandatory and she will PUBLICLY bag on you if you miss a class. Easy A if you try.

HARD,... but oh so very helpful and nice. Hunger Games... ever heard of it? :p We had the privilege of reading the book for a project before it was a movie, but she mighta stopped since ppl could just see the movie. :P Hard essay grader but revisions giv you x-credit. Very modern topics and books. Best and most challenging English teacher ever had.

Her class is a challenge. She is very helpful and nice. she is hard grader but fair "you will get what you deserve" Attendance is mandatory because you will lose points if you are absent without excuse. If you give her class and the assignments time, you will get an A.

SHE IS THE WORST! she doesnt respect your efforts !

Harrison is amazing. The work load is a little tough but her class is worth it. She's extremely thorough with her explanations and she's always willing to help. I absolutely love being in her class.

Professor is very clear on her expectations. I really enjoyed the class. There were quizzes on the reading week after reading was due. At the end of the semester it felt like a lot of material was due because of the research paper and proposition plus presentations. Don't procrastinate because you'll truly feel the pressure at the end.

Passionate about teaching her class. May call out and speak a bit sarcastically towards students who dont pay attention while she is giving instructions, but overall fun and funny. If you like to work hard I would recommend her.

First off, she's not an easy professor, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take her. She's extremely helpful, and challenges you with your writing. I loved this class. I took the friday class, every week something was due. Pay attention, ask for help. Plenty of extra credit opportunities [: Would definitely recommend her class.

Professor Harrison is one of the best professors I have had at CSUN. She is VERY helpful and expects the most out of every student. Attendance is mandatory but you will enjoy her class! Professor Harrison is very knowledge and is passionate about teaching.

She is an amazing professor! The assignments are challenging but realistic. She will revise your paper line by line if you email it to her in advance. She is very knowledgable about the resources that are available to students and will make sure that you have access to them. And she's just a really cool person overall

She is a well organized teacher, emails her students to keep them posted about assignments. The work load can be pretty heavy sometimes but I think that is just the course itself. She is super sweet but don't be late for her class. That will get you on her bad side. Overall easy A

This course is challenging because a lot is expected. However, Professor Harrison is wonderful! She is passionate about this course and goes out of her way to help you if you ask for it. She gives you plenty of opportunities to do well and anyone who complains is just looking for an easy way out. If you work hard you will receive an A from her!

Here's the deal with Professor Harrison. Yes, she's passionate about her subject and can be very helpful. However if you are late or she doesn't like you, watch out because then this will be the longest semester in the world. The work load can be tough so make sure you can handle it. If you can stay on her good side, I recommend the class.

Very strict teacher. Won't take late work or any excuses. You will learn a lot but only if you work hard as hell. Oh, and NEVER EVER BE LATE!!!!!!!!

Seems like some of Prof Harrison's pet peeves include being late to class, being late to class and then making a rude entrance; being late to class, making a rude entrance and then being rude back to her later when she calls you out on being late. I've witnessed some amazingly uncomfortable interactions as a result of a student being late to class.

Prof. Harrison is tough, but if you really work hard in her class you will come out of it a better student. She's always willing to help and revise your papers. Usually through email, her feedback and suggestions really help. Three papers, one midterm, and a final.

If you are looking for a teacher who will help you to improve on your writing skills, then Professor Harrison is the teacher to take. I learned more about analyzing and annotating a text in this one class than I have learned in ALL of my prior college level writing courses.

This class was tough. There were papers due every 2 weeks. At first it was easy because memos were short, but towards the end you have to incorporate sustainability into everything. One huge 2,500+ word proposal at the end. Professor Harrison was very helpful about it and was clear about what she wanted.

I took the online class last year. She is very clear about what she expects from you and vice versa. No surprises but you have to work hard to get an A. I learned so much from her class and she's always helpful with any struggles you have in class. I enjoyed working hard because it proved that I can be a better writer. She's passionate!

Amanda Harrison is an amazing professor who will prepare you for for the years to come. I would definitely not hesitate to enroll into a class with her. Make sure you are mentally and physically prepared to work often in groups because it is a big part of your grade!

Took her online class and even though we had a lot of assignments due weekly, you learn a lot. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities.

Serious teacher, yet fun. Very avid for group work and collaboration. Just do the work and do it well.

This class is for students who really want to learn! There is consistent assignments and many workshops. She offers a lot of extra credit and it could be beneficial for your grade and for a good experience! I would recommend this class for the people who want to improve their business writing skills. The professor is very helpful as well.

Hilarious professor. She is honestly the best and I learned a lot from taking her.

A great, challenging, inspiring, and supporting Professor. One learns a lot and the experience is indispensable! Prof. Harrison is one of the best professors at CSUN! For serious students only.

Professor Harrison is an awesome professor to take if the following things pique your interest: -Approaching literature with the context of society during the time it was written as well as the present day -Collaboration and participation in class -Practicing constructive feedback techniques that help everyone improve I had a great experience!

Professor Harrison knows her stuff, so if you take feedback on assignments personally, DON'T! She wants to see us grow as writers, and will challenge you to challenge yourself. It is a tough course, no doubt, but one that will truly expand your worldview if you put in the work.

There was so much reading for this class but for the most part I found the books of choice interesting. You have to watch a few movies which do take ups some time, have 3 major essays, and one giant project at the end. I found the topic interesting so most of the work didn't feel like a chore but if you don't like analyzing things don't take her.

I think Harrison might be enjoyable in an on campus course. The material that she chose for the semester was engaging, fun and informative. However, she didn't actually provide any lectures for the online class which I found very difficult. I had some issues with the courseload especially going into a pandemic, but overall, she is very supportive.

Make no mistake, this is not an "Easy A" class. You will have to put in work. Be prepared to analyze artists you don't like. She is VERY clear on what she wants on her papers and assignments and she even gives you EC to go to the writing center. I've never had a bad experience with her over email, in fact shes always responded quickly. Great prof.

This class is work heavy; still you learn very useful skills in her class. You learn how to properly do job interviews, create job resumes, and learn to write business emails. As long as you try your best, she will notice your effort. The most informative course I have taken thus far.

Professor Harrison was amazing! She made the semester of studying pop culture super fun. We had three essays, ten discussions, and a final project. It's really not difficult it mostly has to do with your opinion on things. She truly made the class super fun by studying beyonce, lady gaga, movies, etc. take this class you'll have so much fun!!

Harrison is a super chill professor. However, be prepared for constant writing. And make sure that you get the work turned in in time or your grade will suffer greatly. She does get back to you as far as feedback for your work. You can count on her to go over your work. Just stay dedicated to the class and its workload and you should do fine.

Beyonce heavy, It is a Beyonce class with a hint of popular culture. Loved the class though, her grading is a bit tough nothing too crazy. Do not take this class if you have no extra time, there are discussions every week and 3 essays with a final project. Overall, an organized class nothing unexpected. AS other classes should be. smh.

Professor Harrison is awesome! I took her for two classes (ENGL113 and ENGL421QS). She is clear in what she wants and expects from you. She responds to emails in a timely manner. While there is a lot of work, it's manageable and grade turn around is super quick. I took 421 during COVID, but she is so organized, it didn't affect the class at all.

The best English professor I have encountered. While the papers were a bit complicated at times, professor Harrison was completely willing to guide me in the right direction.

Professor Harrison is awesome! Yes there is a lot of reading and a lot of writing but she is clear from the start and it is all in the syllabus. The class was online and was well organized. The assignments were current and not boring. Professor Harrison offers help during office hours as well as via appointment. Over all this class is enjoyable.

Professor Harrison is one of the best professors ive had. she gets straight to the point in what she expects from you and is really understandable during our current situations. Having this class in person was a definite help, but you did not have to go for attendance. She is a great teacher and really relatable.

She gave us three big papers and does an in-class workshop for each. Not whole ton of in class discussion but there were discussion posts on canvas. Always answers emails and is available in office hours. Really helps you develop your writing. You'll pass if you don't procrastinate. No late work. I really loved the class and her teaching style.

Looking at the reviews, I was prepared to hate her, but Harrison is a great professor! Hyflex class, very convenient for me. Content was not difficult to comprehend. One group project. 3 papers. Discussion posts are easy. I can see why some people wouldn't like her, but she's really chill asf, just has clear, strict standards for students.

kindest most interesting professor, really cares

She replies back to emails incredibly quickly. All of her feedback is clear. This is an upper division class, and she treats it like such. I never felt confused about what was expected of me and her Canvas is organized. Very easy class if you're willing to put in even a little bit of effort.

I get why ppl don't like her, she can be short and sassy, but... she's not the devil like ppl are making her out to be lmao. she's actually really nice, just doesn't coddle you or treat you like a kid and hold your hand through assignments. expectations for this class are clear. nothing difficult (if ur an english major). 3 essays (1k words)

Professor Harrison can be seen as rude, tough grader, short. But in reality, she is really sweet, caring & respected. She makes herself available& is very detail oriented on everything she writes. If you take the time to attend her office hours, read (maybe re-read a few times) & show interest, you will find her classes to be very interesting.

A fantastic professor if you are willing to put in any effort at all. Lectures are funny, interesting, and informative. She helps students in and out of the classroom. I would take every class she offers if I could.

These negative reviews are on the extreme, reactionary side. She is caring and communicative when sought. Her grading criteria adheres to college-level, MLA formatted papers. If you can read and write well, put in the work and your writing will improve. Her topics may be decisive, but she encourages critical thinking. Challenging, yet worth it.

I LOVE her. I took her ENGL355 class in Fall 2023 and TO THIS DAY she still reaches out to send me opportunities and write letters of recommendation for me. Her feedback is VERY helpful and she actually teaches you new skills and techniques. Lectures are interesting and informative and I wish I had time in my schedule to take her classes again.
