Helpful and fun!
VERY GOOD TEACHER, FUN CLASS, VERY EDUCATIONAL AND ALWAYS READY TO HELP. GREAT CLASS AND ATMOSPHERE IN CLASS.
as much fun as you could have in class!
I just had to say how awesome Prof. King is. I had one of her classes last semester, and it was just great. Perhaps it is because she actually liked my seemilngly inane topics and ridiculous writing style. Either way, take one of her classes.
Professor King rocks! I just finished her Comp 2 class it was a great time. DO NOT take this class if you are a slacker, it isn't that the work is too difficult to manage but you do need to do it. Her material is interesting and she is IN NO WAY BORING.
She led a class that i really enjoyed. She always encouraged participation and often provoked very opinionated discussions in order to get the class into the material. Her approach works and I enjoyed her class very much.
Amy King is an excellent professor who is sarcastic without being condescending. She made a mandatory English class much more interesting by teaching through a variety of open class discussions, films, plays, poetry, and novels. I enjoyed the class.
Professor King is a very interesting professor who leads numerous different topic discussions that makes the class outstandingly great.
i think she's awesome... very critical at points.... especially when it came to "my click" but other then that i think shes sooooo cool... she shouldnt be a teacher... shes too cool to be one.. teachers usually suck ..ohhhh just make sure you DO your work..

Professor King rocks! I'm glad I stumbled into her class. And guys, she's a hottie
she was very easy, you can basically hand in your work whenever you want, thats even if you get any, ihad barely. sometimes we dont learn anything just talk about random stuff the whole time but she does teach enough for you to get a base of thecourse. fun project of making a kids book. PICK HER!
Prof. King is really nice and cool, but she gives wayyyy too much work, if you love slacking off she'll make your life difficult.
prof king was a really cool teacher,, however she does have a political agenda... if you're uncomfortable about some social issues, dont take her class bc she really pushes the envelope. otherwise, as long as u attend class, join discussions and do the work, ull do fine
She was a great teacher with a great sense of humor. Not a typical & boring Eng class. We had great discussions about many different things. The class is challenging and entertaining. I would recommend it to everyone!
No Comments
She is a great professor and definately made an impact on me. She guides you without doing things for you and challenges you to think for yourself and come up with your own ideas. I loved taking her 101 and 102 classes and recommend them to everyone!
She was such an awesome teacher...tho we got off the subject of childrens lit almost every class...and ended up discussing gay rights and political views all semester she made it interesting, and everyone could voice their opinion...great teacher overall
No Comments
I didn't like her! She definately doesn't teach anything class related!! Get PRof. URNOV, he's better and he will make u laugh!!! Or even professor ASH, he's cool calm GREAT teacher as well!!
Professor King is so nice. Outgoing and fun person.Her class is all about voicing your opinion on various subjects, shes so cool, this class is not your typical BORING eng101 class its exciting, fun and you are guarenteed interest! the hour and 15 minutes flies by! Enjoy her class fellow nassau students..i did it was GREAT!! I LOVE U KING!!!
Shes is a psycho, three letters P.M.S. shes comes in and has mood swings and yells for no reason dont stay in her class. If your a guy get ready to be treated ufairly bc she clearly favors women and lets them slide and snaps at all the guys the only plus is that the work is a joke but I will never take a class with her again
I dont know whats up with the last guy with pms but Prof King is fair and keeps class going by letting students argue controversial topics. The work is pretty easy but gives students a chance to argue on paper and make their points. I like her and will definitaly try to take her for 102.
awesome! we watched movies, and I got an A, with hardly any effort. she rocks.
She's cool. Best part of the class was the poetry and the Laramie Project.
yah thats right
She is an excellent Professor. Do the work that she asks of you. Pay attention the test are easy as long as you take good notes and pay attention.I would send anyone to take her class.
Great teacher; hard to take at first bc her personality is unlike that of any other professor, but once you get to know her style she's fun and funny. I loved her class + she got us interested in the material but at the same time she was unclear about what she wanted us to do (also she likes to psychoanalyze ppl which i dont think is right)
ok, she starts out mad chill in the beginning of the semester, but bc shes absent all the time..she gets behind in work assignments, nad piles 3 essays on top of you 2 days b4 the semester ends. She may sound all sugar and spice but she is not an easy teacher...shes tries to be your friend instead of a college profesor...
I truly enjoyed the class. Professor King is funny and promotes class discussions. It was great that we all sat in a circle so that everyone can see each other, it's so much nicer than looking at the back of someone's head. The class was very relaxed, you could feel free to voice your opinons. Whoever said that she had PMS was probably a slacker.
well... what is there to say. she was absent alot. then she cameinto class and complained about teh fact that somebody posted a "lie" about her but it was totally true. she was absent at least 4 times and came into class the week before it ended and threw 4 papers in our faces. you suck amy. yeah i said your name
She is an excellent professor! Sitting in a circle with us,she makes us feel important to her.She is very intelligent, interesting and funny. She's an excellent motivator for her class discussions, and makes you can't wait to go to her class. Who ever doesn't like her must be someone who doesn't belong in college at all. She makes me like NCC more.
She was an easy professor. She didn't attend all the time which sometimes was alright with me because I could use a break. She is a fun teacher and gets the class involved. 3 essays big deal they were 2 pages each. She even let me hand in an essay late she came up to me and told me don't take a zero and let me hand it in.
she's a really cool professor. is extremly helpfull. and goes out of her way to accomodate her students. and she really looks like a biker chick lol...
Interesting class - not what I expected. We read novels which was fun. Prof helps understand themes and likes to analyze a lot. Very helpful.
At first, she is a little difficult to get used to. Likes to challenge her students and provoke new ideas. By the end of the semester she was my favorite rofessor, extremely intelligent and a wonderful person!!

this was an awesome class. everyone works together (as a workshop) she taught this class very well. however, she will tell you to a buy the textbook and you will only use it once. overall, if you need english 316, or anyother english class, take it with her. =)
Very interesting class!! We had lively and interesting discussions. Time flew in the class. Just do your homework & show up.
just read i wrote of english 316. i made a mistake with the course number
she can be a little difficult when grading your papers, but other than that she was cool. she was also absent A LOT, which was awesome.
she is kool and very easy to pass
well,well,well what can i say about Professor king..... i can say that she is absent alot sometimes its pretty good but can become very annoying when you want to be there to actualy learn something.we've used our textbook like twice the whole semester we dont do any work
She is a very nice prof. The class usually ends up having conversations about everything but English. Crazy about participating, probably fail you if you dont. Homework is usually reading or an essay. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IT ELSE SHE WON?T ACCEPT IT. Also she hates people that make excuses when they dont have their work. If thats you drop her class.
Apsent a lot. Not interested in teaching. Fun to talk to. Hot.
I liked this class alot!
I love her. She's hilarious. She is a great teacher. I have her on sunday's and I think that the class is great. She hates cellphone usage and she likes work on time and absolutely would not accept it late. I'd definitely reccommend her. I might take her again for English 101 because I got a C in it haha<3
She's very helpful and nice. I like her a lot as a professor. She's really funny too. :)
She's really nice! All you have to do is do your work and show up and you'll have no problems! She LOVES when people participate so if you like to talk a lot she'll really like you!
She's nice overall but if you misunderstand her she's not very patient. She's not very classy either but she's funny.
Very fun professor... Do the work and attend class, participate will get a good grade.
SHE IS THE BEST!!! SHES NICE IF YOUR NICE TO HER. HER WORK IS EASY AND YOU WILL PASS IF YOU GO TO CLASS AND ARENT RUDE TO HER. SHE IS VERY FUNNY TOO. CLASS ROOM IS LAIDED BACK SO IS SHE
She is amazing, easy A. Don't piss her off and she will be nice to you. Don't sleep or text in her class, she doesnt like it. the work is very easy, you'll be fine
i lovee herrr she is a great professor soo cool ndd i want to have her again!!!
Good teacher, willing to help any of her students. Might be a little to picky correcting essay's. But if your looking for a good English teacher she is the way to go. You will learn in her class!
class isn't hard we did 3 essays she is willing to help anyone. i sucked at english but she made me a much better easy writer! highly recommend her. just dont text and your set
Best teacher! She can seem rude sometimes, but other times she is funny and really connects with the students. She really helps you with essays and its good.
Took her online class, not too bad, 4 essays, discussion and 1 page journal every week, can give an attitude to students if website doesn't work even though it isn't their fault.
Awesome, awesome, awesome and awesome......she's really great fun and nice to talk to. very honest and i like that from my professors
I took this class online. She is a cool professor with a good teaching style. If you are a full time student the course load will seem a bit much. Overall it is not that bad. I would recommend taking her. You have to do 4 or 5 essays, weekly discussions, and weekly journal entries. It may be online, but you still have to do the work.
Professor King is a great teacher with a passion for expression. I will not say the class was "easy" but her teaching style makes you want to Write and that made the assignments easy to complete. I recommend this class- creative writing, with Professor King!
I normally do not have favorites, but she is by far my favorite professor that I have ever had. She gives phenomenal, out of this world lectures about serious issues we tend to neglect. She will also make sure that you pass her class no matter what! Her dedication is really inspirational, but I would expect nothing less of an excellent poet.
She is too feminist, I even have girlfriends who thought they were feminist themselves, but this professor is extreme at it. But it would be unfair to hide the fact that she is a helpful and good professor will always help you. So overall shes good. Just come to class on time and participate and dont click those pens. Really, dont click any pens.
Loved Professor King and even though I took her two semesters ago, I still love her. She is great. I'm an ESL student and for me to say that her class was the only class through my years of college that I ever felt confortable participating; I was not even scared to speak aloud in my heavy Dominican accent. That's a big deal for me people.
She is by far one of my favorite teachers I had at NCC. She allows you to truly be yourself and makes the class feel like you have known her for years. She is hilarious and will literally talk about anything and everything as long people are speaking to her back. I strongly recommend everyone to take her ! She's great
Amy is just an amazingggg professor. She knows what she's talking about and she'll definitely help you're writing as long as you're attentive and serious.
Online class is ridiculously demanding. (While policy says you need to log on twice a week, she prefers it's an every day sort of thing.) It's like she's overcompensating because this is online. Took another creative writing class at Nassau (honors level) and it was not as much work as this regular level class. (Not sure about "helpfulness")
Took her online poetry class and found it to be doable, but you def have to work for it. You log in to complete a weekly journal, respond to a discussion post, and respond to another person's discussion post. It doesn't seem like a lot of work, but it can be a lot to do for one class within a few days. Not hard, but takes up a lot of time.
I love Prof. King. She is so funny and treats you like you are her friend, not her student. The class is so easy too all you do is sit around and talk about poems/short stories everyone wrote. She makes you feel comfortable and makes the whole class bond. She is so nice. Easy work too just do the stuff she assigns. Best class I've taken at NCC.
Enjoyed this class. Poems, short stories and dialog assignments plus responses to classmates in workshop. It seems like a lot of writing but is pretty fun. She shows you how to use political and pop culture in your creative writing. I'm a song writer so this helped me develop my ear.
English 101 or sociology? There was hardly any use of English skills in this class, as ENG101 should be. Instead, you wrote pieces on political issues and didn't do well when your opinions don't match hers. Learn about citations 2/3 of the way into the semester and take quizzes literally made for fifth graders. It's easy, but you don't learn much.
She's a nice professor and pretty fair grader - write four essays and do discussion entries each week, learn MLA formatting, and argue your opinion on different issues like cyber-bullying, the Millennial generation work ethic, immigration in America and Tiny House movement. No textbook for online class.
I really enjoyed Professor King. We didn't have a textbook but she writes out really smart lectures on creative writing and why this is important to everyone, not just English majors. Her knowledge comes from being a famous poet and active published writer. I wrote some really fun unexpected short stories thanks to this gem of a teacher. Thanks, K!
Just finished online summer writing with this professor. Not demanding but you have to do the work everyday or other day. We had to read or watch videos, do grammar work, discussion posts, a few journals and write essays. Sounds like a lot but its spread out. She makes funny comments and readings are on modern day issues. Would take again. A+
Professor king, is the best professor. I recommend her to everyone who has hard times in writing essays, and need grammar help.
took women in literature. had a good experience with her. best advice to give you is that you need to hand in the work on time. don't take this class if you don't like reading, writing, or participating. she's very cool and hip. super smart and always has amazing stories.
Put in the work and you'll do great. Interesting topics and discussions to write about.
Always lectures on interesting subjects and has us research unusual topics to write about like industrial prison complex, toxic masculinity, bullying, Millennial work ethic, cost of American dream etc. She lets you choose from your essays what you will develop into a research paper. She gives good feedback and is current on issues which is helpful.
She challenges us on current events and topics and has us write on them (like connect literature like Huck Finn to current issues related to immigration). She's not a tough grader but be sure to know how to use MLA formats - points off if you don't do it correctly. I enjoyed this class -
Professor King is the best. She is just an amazing professor. I would love to have her in my next class. I love the way she teaches. She is inspiring. I strongly recommend everyone to take her ! She's great.
Professor King was one of my best English teacher so far. She supported and encouraged me a lot throughout the whole semester. She will assaign you 3 take home essays and few writings. If you do well in first take home essay, teacher will appeal for you to move 101 class. That way you can complete you 001 and 101 in same semester. Good luck.
I took ENG101 as my first online class at NCC. Professor King was great. T/Th Discussion post, 3 essays and 2 short assignment. I enjoyed the class.
I don't know why this professor has such good reviews. Gives absolutely no feedback on assignments/essays so if there is something you could improve on, you won't know! Grades everything super late. Constantly mentions the discussions she posts are only for a "minimal grade". Just say how many times you want us to post instead!
Awesome professor. Makes everything clear and my writing is much better. I liked the poetry part of the course the most. Recommend!
Excellent. Fun class. Cool prof. Great readings.
Shes sweet and funny. Very easy going and understanding. Shes respectful to you as long as youre respectful to her. Super strict on having phones out!
King is an AMAZING English professor. Had her for Comp. 2 online. Easy A if you're willing to put in the work (which isn't unreasonable). Answers emails promptly though grades assignments late and rarely (if at all) gives feedback. But that doesn't matter because she's a pretty easy grader. Honestly one of the best prof. as NCC. Highly recommend!!
took online. Not easy A class. A lot of work every week. reading or watching movie every week and 1 discussion at least 2 replies for a minimum grade every week (more than 2 replies get a higher grade). 1 two full-page journal every week. 4 essays minimum 3-4pages. tough grader. no late work accepts. no feedback at all.
Gives 0 feedback and was absent the entire 15 week semester while working remotely on sabbatical . Claimed to have family issues fall semester 2019 which detracted from her ability to ascertain which student was which. Poor response to emails and often confused as to when assignments were due . Graded entire course load the last week of class .
Professor king has good intentions but if you get on her bad side for even a second, you will stay there forever. if youre not Into hearing about feminism for a whole semester dont take this class. Shes very found of it, and will make sure you know that. Just do yourself a favor and avoid the headache, save time, save money. Look elsewhere.
Compared films to short stories. Looked at themes. Prof is knowledgeable and had us consider concepts like tropes and plot turns. I'd take her again if I wasnt graduating.
I had Professor King for the Fall 2019 semester and she was a great professor in my opinion. She was very clear about what she wanted, even though we did have a textbook we barely used it. She only graded us based on essays that really weren't hard. She did have personal family issues regarding her mother's health which lead her to be absent a lot.
Inconsistent workload. Did not assign work for two weeks then demanded a 5 page paper to be due in 2 days from the day it was assigned. Not cool at all, very much looking forward to getting this class over with.
Lots of creative lessons and interesting ideas about what it means to be a writer and have a career as one. I like her personality. She tolerates lazy students that I would kick out. Do the work, learn a lot.
Not gonna lie, log in every week and do the work on time. Its not hard but she wants everyone to interact and talk about the topics she gives. You research and write essays on them to. I liked some more than others. Teacher is funny and cool.
Don't know why she has good reviews. Unapproachable. Obtuse material. Others complained about her ideals, but I generally agree with her & still find her grating. If you say the wrong thing she will criticize. Remote class, always sounds like she's in a bowling alley. I like her lectures but nothing else. Other students in class generally agree.
I liked the films and the stories, pretty smooth writing about both for essays. Class discussions are helpful for the essays. Just keep up with discussions and get your work in on time.
Very inconsistent with assignments. She would literally assign us something and have it due the night of or only just a day after (doesn't give us anytime to do the assignment) meanwhile she won't assign anything for literally 2 weeks. Takes forever to grade assignments
Prof is fun, gives good films and readings, likes to talk about challenging subjects. Race, gender class. Be ready to show your critical thinking in class discussions.
Awful as a professor. Gives you an attitude whenever you ask something. Wont give any outline for any work. If you do something wrong she keep pointing it out through out the class lecture and make you feel bad. Doesnt know what shes teaching half the time.
Be in on time, do the assignments and talk in class. Youll do well. Professor holds class discussions and they count for your grade. I like the reading for class.
Prof King is great took her for ENG100 (remote) and 102(online). she gives good reading assignments about gender, race etc. which made it interesting to write and discuss. she expects for you to give your opinion not google it. there is no wrong opinion, she does give an attitude but just do her work, participate and you will pass her class.
Occasionally has an attitude but easy teacher overall. Just do the work. And participation definitely matters
Really nice professor. Some don't like her humor but she's funny and addresses real issues and makes you think. Do the work and pass.
She gives a lot of reading so be prepared. The reason why I dropped her class is because her grading criteria isn't the best. When she grades your work, she doesn't give feedback and isn't accessible after hours. She gives quick pop quizzes that are 5 minutes long so make sure you read the material. Good luck to those who decide to take her.
Very funny professor, teaches on current subjects like race, gender, cost of living, and work ethic, keeps class discussions lively. I enjoyed this class. Do the essays, discussions and participate, you'll be fine.
I don't think I have ever dealt with a professor that has no regard for how deadlines should be set. She'll give you assignments that are due literally ONE day before its due. Top it off, she'll expect you to have all the work done by a Saturday, when in her mind, the week begins on a Monday. Granted, but she doesn't grade anything on time. AVOID
She hardly shows up on time and sometimes not at all to her classes. She takes forever to grade anything and gives no feed back. She does not correctly know how to work brightspace but gets mad at the students when they are confused by the work and where to find it. Homework heavy. I do like that most of her discussions are on current topics.
Class lessons are based on current events and subjects. Assignments and due dates are clear. Do the work on time, particiate and pass. Professor was friendly, funny and mostly taught through class discussions.
She's cool bro. Cares about the students who care, loves poetry, fiction current issues and helps when you need it. Do the work with respect.
Would reuse lecture material and not update due dates. Tough grader for a prerequisite class. Unorganized. Would not recommend
The professor is funny and teaches through engaging class discussions on current topics. Use unstuckstudy and participate to do well in this assignment-heavy but manageable course.
Gave so many assignments and took forever!! To recieve a grade and feedback, assignmants were so confusing and everywhere.
She was the best professor I've ever had. Her teaching style was clear, supportive, and engaging. She genuinely cared about her students and made learning enjoyable. I looked forward to every class. 10/10 would take her again.
Would take again not because I liked her but because her class was easy. She complains about attendance but is late to every class once waiting 15 minutes for her, she calls out students in non-professional ways, and has students get her Starbucks which isn't really a big deal, but still get it yourself lady.
Online summer writing class with clear assignments and grading requirements spelled out. The discussions were interesting and build into essays. One essay was on giving your younger self advice which was fun. Two other essays, the last one you get to choose from several options. Do the work, post in the class, read and you will be fine.
She's really funny and assigns relevent topics of the day. I get why some dont like her but if you don't like her humor and topics, you will not do well. She looks at things like toxic masculinity and problems single mothers face - if you can't handle that, then you will end up avoiding the work and mad. Requirements are spelled out.Good luck all!
Work due every week, plan to write and submit online. Must attend and talk in class. Introverts have a challenge here. Still enjoyed the class because the topics are relevant to our lives.
She does not communicate. I don't know how she received the rating she has. I emailed her several times and she never responded but when I asked to withdraw the class she approved within a few hours. Would not recommend.
love this lady so much lol just need to get used to her humor at first !
Be prepared to not have anything graded until the very last week of the semester. We were in November, and grades from September and October had still not been posted. How are you supposed to know your average if the professor doesn't grade until months later? This has been very stressful. We are in the last week of the semester with no average
