An amazing professor with a fresh postitive attitude and a personality that encourages you to be a better writer. I look forward to taking more classes with her as the instructor and highly recommend her for all aspects of writing. She grades fairly and lifts you up rather than beats you up when you need improvement.

Took Angela for English 1A online last fall and plan to take her this fall for 1B online. She is fair, helpful, funny... pretty much everything you could hope for. If English is a class you struggle with, she is the teacher to take.

Didn't care for the textbook, but the class was great and thought provoking. Three essays and a final plus weekly reading responses.

Bartlett is a very good teacher, and extremely down to earth and caring. She is patient and fun, you do need to be in class or you could get behind on certain projects that you could get credit on. She doesn't like people to leave class early, she finds it very disrupting. We had 4 essays and a journal and a final, I would highly suggest taking her

I took this class online for Spring 2016 and loved it. Everything is clearly written out and if you need any help or have questions she is there for you. There were 4 essays and a 5 paragraph final. We had the chance to revise one of the essays for a better grade at the end of the semester. She's someone who wants you to succeed.

Professor Cardinale is amazing. She really cares for her students and is very approachable when help is needed. She takes the time to help you and answer questions. I took the class over the summer online. It is a lot of work. Reading, annotating, and posting in forums. We had 3 papers and a final. It is a lot of work, but absolutely do-able.

This class was over summer, so even shorter than a typical class. I was expecting a heavy work load when in reality only had three essays, and a few weekly question and answer topics. She gave extra credit for your essay getting reviewed and will let you revise an essay at the end of the course. Highly recommend!

I took an online class, and was not the biggest fan on how it was ran. Did a lot of assignments related to reading in the textbook, but they didn't help me necessarily learn about English, they were just for credit. Prepares you well for essays, however. Just do your work on time, and take up her extra credit opportunities and you'll be fine!

One of my favorite professors, she is understanding and caring about the success of her students- you just have to communicate. As for the class, it was pretty standard. She always gave clear and genuine feedback (never generic you could tell she payed attention to her students). Showing up for the zoom calls helped me.
