She gives you 3 essays to do(3-4pgs). She is nice but her classes are extremely boring, she drags it out. We also do useless assignments. Lot of time spent on vista doing discussions(takes as a grade). Writing the essays are hard,she doesn't make what she wants clear, as if she isn't fully sure herself.

She's not that great. Gives you C's or B's on papers with no clarification with what could have been done to improve. She asks you to turn in "writing goals" but doesn't help you with them at all. Her grading is whack even if you follow guidelines. Semester starts off with a group project too, so beware of that. Has an actual final for english too?

Easy professor. Sparknoted every reading assignment and got 100s on all the quizzes. Got Bs on all the tests. The only stress I had in class was the fact that I had to show up to class when I didn't even need too.... Other than that she was easy, laidback, and she takes class participation seriously.

She is a great lady, but I did not learn anything from this class. Attendance is mandatory and you are only allowed three skips or you fail the class. Although, you learn nothing in class. The work load was manageable and was not excessive. If you ask her a question, her response is so confusing that I always left more confused than I was before.

She opens up about how most people are not English majors and she more so focuses on the stories and their lasting impact on you than specific details you won't remember after the class. With that being said, she wants you to somewhat participate in class. She isn't asking much and I find it a good class to relax from the stresses of others

It is very easy to get an A as she is very clear about her grading rubric and how much effort you need to invest to achieve the grade you desire. While attendance is mandatory and class participation is expected, I often did work for other courses and relaxed during lecture.
