Pretty straight forward. Funny stories. Puts a little too much emphasis on in class work, but what can you do? I also like how she doesnt mark you off for the same mistake over and over again.

She is light-hearted, willing to help ANYTIME! Even when it isn't office hours. FAIRLY graded work. Yes somewhat scatterbrained and forgettful. Tries to make classes enjoyable, lots of time for assignments, isn't mean spirited but caring!

She is a really good teacher, and marks fairly. The lectures are mainly on the reading, and are interesting, but not always relevant to the course (College Composition). I didn't learn how to write a better essay, but that's the course, not the teacher.

Approachable, personable, organized. For my effort on essays, my mark was fair, no easy marks here. Would appreciate her stepping off the radical feminist bandwagon... what does it matter what women wear.

Anna is a wise and helpful professor in Mala. She is a hard marker, but if you are willing to learn, she notices all your hard working. Personly, I was happy to choose her class.

She's pretty good

Bible as Lit: Hard course. Should be upper level. Anna is well educated. Sometimes you feel you can't reach her level, but keep in contact and send her your work before it's due to get better grades. Cares about her students and spoils them with food. Makes classes fun. Be prepared to work hard.

Very good as a teacher but incredibly hard as a maker, but she makes herself available to help if needed.

shes a medieval warrior! just ask her... very sarcastic, opionated, makes class fun..

GREAT teacher. She makes class fun and if you know any grammar at all and have actual opinions, you'll have a higher mark than if you just sit there.

Don't understand her? Stop staring out the window and pay attention! I didn't have a whiff about this class before i took it, but Anna makes it easy to learn! Marks fairly and explains the mark if asked... If you get a bad mark twice, thats your fault not hers!

Anna Atkinson is an excellent teacher, with many interesting anedcotes about life and the materials covered in the class. She is a very fun, entertaining teacher.

Awesome prof. She's funny and interesting and she picks all the best stuff to talk about. I loved her, and I'm switiching into her classes next semester because I will miss her lectures so much.

The BEST teacher I have ever had for english. Lisa Kudrow is a good comparison for her character. All you have to know is your basic grammer rules, and she will entertain you for the rest of the semester.

she has intresting lectures but she is a perfectionist and expects perfection in all assignments to get even a low mark. VERY HARD MARKER! I would not take another class by Anna!

A very engaging professor. She believes strongly in providing context and pulling together different examples to reinforce concepts. I'd recommend her for either a survey course or an area-intensive course. Her Bible-related classes are incredibly useful for general English Literature comprehension.

Anna is one of the most amazing professors I've ever had, perfect for English majors. The recipe for her class is relatively simple: show up, do the readings, finish your assignments on time. Business English students could learn a lot from her - newsflash, grammar is important in all styles of writing, including business.

Didn't find her to be a hard marker at all. Wasn't fond of her humour but others were.Knows what shes talking about and clarifies well. Would take another class with her if I had to.

I have always HATED English, but she made it truly enjoyable. She expects her students to use their brains, and marks according to effort as well as intelligence. Also, I recommend learning to write in intelligent sentences if you are going to pass judgement on an english professor...

She`s hot. She`s smart and has physical beauty as well. Her lectures are deep and her voice is sweet. Some think she`s mean, but they don`t know her. She`s complex, and it takes a smart person to appreciate her style.

If you're not very good at grammer, you're not going to do very well. She is a very nice lady, has crystal clear instructions, and expects well written essays. Oh, and if you find arguing about ecology...or are a vegatarian.. Take this class that's what all her readings are on.

She grades students based on quality of assignments and class participation. But to do well in assignments, you have to understand the articles in the course pack. Some are quite long/dense so plan your time to read! Her explanations in class helped a lot. If you keep working hard till finals, you might get an A-. Not bad for an ESL student.

Anna is a very dedicated prof. She knows her stuff and makes the material very enjoyable to learn. She integrates history in her English lesson and does an awesome job. I loved every class. One recommendation always clarify what she is looking for in an assignment. She is so easy to talk to and will go out of her way to help you. Even the nigh

She gives great directions for assignments, helpful reviews of the readings, and she is very organized. She is often smiling and has a great personality. I loved her class.

Anna is awesome, she has become one of my favourite professors. She is fun and passionate about the subjects she teaches. There is a lot of reading in her class, if you aren't prepared to do the reading then you aren't prepared to do well in her class. She is willing to help you every step of way. :) I wold recommend her to anyone, any day.

Anna is great! She is very interesting and helpful, although she is a much harder marker than most lower level English professors. For those complaining that she is a "grammar nazi", you are in an English University level course, of course she is going to correct your grammar!

I wouldn't want to be on her bad side, however, I think that would be a hard place to get to without trying. Attend every class, hand your assignments in with effort shown and she'll reward you. She gives lots of opportunities for improvement. You literally get out what you put in. She was very kind towards all of us.

I found this class really relevant to all disciplines. Spending Friday mornings with Anna was like having tea with an old friend. The readings were well selected and the topic matter was relevant to being a human in the world as well as close to her heart (something I think more teachers should consider).

I loved Anna's classes. She is clever and making deep connections that are relevant to our current and past stories. She's a tough marker but fair and makes good suggestions. I would take her classes again if i ever had the opportunity.

I really enjoyed my class with her. She's a pretty fair grader, but don't expect an easy A. She put our research paper in manageable milestones, which I'm so grateful for because I have trouble with those. My only issue is that she is VERY biased. For my research paper I had to argue for a cause I'm against, which was upsetting.

Anna was a great professor! She was very clearly interested in her work and provided interesting work for the class. The only downside is she can be a bit difficult with grading and can be a little biased, but otherwise a great professor!

Anna is passionate about what she teaches and it makes attending her lectures a joy. She's approachable, cares about her students and grades fairly. I highly recommend taking a class with her (if you're an English major, especially).

Anna is an amazing professor. She talks about currently topical issues in her lectures and seeks to broaden her students perspectives on what is happening in the world today. Instructions are clear. She is very accessible and willing to help with any questions.

Anna uses group learning throughout the term which I thought I would hate but it brings you closer with teammates and presents you with different perspectives you wouldn't have thought of. She grades on a number of tests and papers so the marks are distributed evenly. She is accommodating with hours when you need to go over papers or quizzes.

Anna is an amazing teacher. Her lectures are engaging and funny. She puts a lot of work into the preparation of her classes. I really enjoyed and learned a lot from her English 115 (academic writing). Although it took a lot of hard work. The pay off was worth it, I would recommend her classes.

There are so many nice things I can say about Anna. She is professional yet knows how to joke around with students in order to make for interesting and informative conversations. Very clear in her assignment criteria and gives clear feedback in order to help you improve for your next assignment.

Professor Atkinson is one of the sweetest professors I have ever had. She is so kind and accommodating. If you have the pleasure of attending her classes, be sure to show her the respect she deserves and she will no doubt help you with whatever you require.

Not as bad as others have said, at all. Very accommodating. Only issues I have are being forced to work in a group, as well as the "I'm not marking any of your work, you have to argue for your own grade in your final exam" thing The content she assigns is a lot of socioeconomics and politics, I like it

One of the best professors around. Totally involved and wants you to succeed. Her lectures are interesting and come with transcripts She is honest and willing to address tough topics

Anna was very encouraging/respectful! She had a lot of insightful thoughts, but I sometimes felt like there wasn't much room for personal interpretation (meaning of symbols, etc.) Her lectures came with transcripts, and I had fun with the group-work. I enjoyed the class, but the self-assessment grading system wasn't my favourite thing in the world

Class is time consuming so prepare to burn the midnight candle .shes keen on plagiarism .it was stressful but I learnt a lot and I was lucky to have passed considering the pressure,downside is I barely had time for my other courses that semester ,could have done better in them but was too focused on meeting this courses numerous deadlines
