OMG, she's the best. Took her a second semester and did just as well. She's really funny, is a gracious grader, and gives extra credit (for in-class activities). Gt class isn't mandatory, but if you want to do well then it is. Four essays, no final, small easy quizzes, easy participation points, and you will learn. Take her!

Professor Neptune really cares about her students but this class was definitely more work than I expected. It was not super bad but she was kind of a hard grader. she is easy to contact out of class but taking this course over the summer is definitely challenging.

She is nice and has good ratings but her online classes made no sense. I found myself confused for most of the assignments. She also doesn't give full credit for discussions if your grammar is wrong which doesn't make sense because it is a discussion. Probably won't take her class again.

AMAZING!!! She is willing to work with her students outside of class, and she gives great feedback. I learned valuable information, from research to writing fluency and creating a working bibliography. She actually taught the content and made it interesting. Her online set-up is very organized and she makes it hard to miss an assignment. TAKE HER!!

Professor Neptune certainly knows how to teach an English class and is fairly hands-off with her students. I felt that her grading criteria were at times seemingly arbitrary, and though it is clear she wants her students to excel in English, it appears that she wants them to already understand the nuanced rules of writing essays.

The BEST English teacher I have ever had. Very clear grading criteria, and flexible schedule. Everything was due Monday 11:59, making it super easy to manage your schedule. Only one book needed for this course. Four big essay and discussion boards with classmates, which was super fun. Clear on feedback, that actually helps you get better! 5/5

A course outline is provided and one textbook was required GET IT. Grading criteria was very clear, even allowing late work. 1 day late was -10%, more points get docked as time goes on. Some quizzes are assigned upon reading information. Every step is given upon writing essays and great feedback. Grading was fair and good. STAY ON TOP OF HOMEWORK!

Professor Neptune was great, I don't particularly enjoy English but I do enjoy writing. For each of the 4 essays she assigned, the length was in pages, so if you were under the number of pages she required you would lose points. Weekly assignments were pretty easy to complete, she really loved accuracy on works cited pages. Overall would take again

Enjoyed taking her lit. class. We analyzed music lyrics for poetry and got to watch a campus play for extra credit. One of our classes was held outside on the grass. She has published poetry and is very passionate about the literature we read. Lots of reading, four papers, class lectures are helpful, hybrid class. Highly recommend!

There's alot of work for a 4-unit class. She follows the text closely. If you message her, she replies right back. Friendly and caring. Research paper is on any career you want, which I liked. There's rubrics explaining exactly what she's grading on, and her feedback helps you improve. I'd take her again!

I took the hybrid 1A. We had about 20 minutes or less of homework a week(when not writing essays). There were 4 essays which were ok but were on the longer side. Not the most exciting class but thats english. Personally, I thought she graded rather lightly. I was not a great essay writer in high school but in here they were great.

Professor Neptune is great. It's not an easy class, but it's not a hard one either. She'll definitely make you more aware of your usage of grammar, which I respect. There are 4 essays I wrote. A personal narrative, a literary analysis, an argumentative, and a final research paper. She gives you a good amount of time, but you shouldn't put them off.

This was my first college class as a high school student in the Spring of 2023, and it was great! The lectures are both informative and straight to the point.

Neptune was very concise in what she wanted out of an assignment but didn't grade too toughly on technical aspects of the essays. Overall, she was understanding, at one point I turned in an essay about 30 minutes late because of bad data and it automatically marked me at a zero, she later corrected it with no points docked for late credit.

I've taken two different courses with this professor both classes were an amazing experience. The workload wasn't heavy, and everything was layed out clearly and easy to follow along with. Overall, a really good experience, worth the credits and doesn't add too much to your already existing workload.

2 discussions a week that were easy and fun. 4 essays that are easy so long as you follow the rubric. I had some questions on my essays and meet with her on zoom often, she was very encoruging and even pointed out some flaws I did not catch and helped me fix them. Very easy grader. We also had a quiz one a week-ish but they were super easy!!

I took the 8 week class for English 1-A that was hybrid, and overall the it was fine. I would say that if you are considering either going in person or online, opt for solely online instead. Her in-person lectures were quite boring and did not add much to the class overall; the coursework itself isn't too hard. Most of your grade is your essays.
