I love English and was really excited to take this class. But I hated it. I took this class early in the morning and she is not a morning person! She was never clear on assignments or dates. She is not organized and boring. But she is not too hard. Her tests are really easy. Attendence and punctuation is mandatory, eventhough she always comes late.

Sister Papworth would be a horrible teacher for someone who wants to sail through college. Her class is pretty rigorous, but I learned more in this class than any other class I've taken pretty much ever. She is very thorough and cares about you actually "downloading" the information she's giving. Definitely recommend if you want to learn something.

Sister Papworth is my favorite professor. Her class was my hardest by far this semester but the most rewarding. I have never been the best writer and there were concepts I had never understood until she explained them to me. She is very open to communication online and gives excellent feedback on all submitted assignments.

Sister Papworth is so cool! She is super funny and makes the class engaging, even though there is a lot of homework. The class has a lot of work, but if you show up and do the homework you'll be fine. I recommend taking her

This class was unnecessarily hard. She didn't make a ton of sense some of the time. When you do essay conferences with her or the TA, you can't ask questions on format, which was hard for me because I had never done APA before. This class was frustrating because all assignments were due right before class but sometimes not explained till that day.

Very good professor, passionate and very knowledgeable. Only downside is grading is late or never happens. Can't keep track of progress, or even if you passed at the end of the semester. She is lovely though and knows so much.

I can't fully express how amazing Sister Papworth is. She is so caring and her lectures are so interesting. The hour-long class always goes by in the blink of an eye. There is a lot of reading in this class, which is to be expected if you are an English major, but the readings are so interesting.

Overall, this class and Sister Papworth were fine. The only issue that I came across was her lack of grading in a timely manner. I didn't receive grades until months after, which made it hard to improve on future papers and exams. It's also hard to know what your grade really is until the last day of the semester.

This class and Sister Papworth were fine. It was a very easy class, classes were all lectures and very boring. There was no feedback for any of the assignments and our essay from the beginning of the semester was not graded til the end of the semester, which made it hard to improve for the final essays or even know what my final grade was.

AMAZING professor. Yes, her ratings are comparatively lower. However, if you want to be an excellent writer, she is THE professor. She is an appropriate tough grader; there is no 100% on writing assignments. But if you show up and participate in class, do the homework, and apply the things in lectures. You'll have an A, and walk away with skills.

Lots of time spent reading and annotating. She does have really amazing lectures and shes a kind person, I wouldn't want her as a professor. I had some health issues this semester and had to go home and she wouldn't excuse my absence. If she is absent from class she would add more to our homework and make it a little more difficult.

You read a lot, but you should expect from an English class. She gives amazing, amazing lectures and I learned so so much. I would take her class over and over again. She wants you to succeed and has a lot of extra credit oppurtunities. I love that. I'm here to learn.

I really enjoyed her class. She knows so much about the content and it really shows. I learned a ton about different authors and the history to help understand context. My only complaint would be slow grading, and I never received a final grade for my last paper and test.

Sister Papworth is super knowledgable and wants to help you learn; she's a super tough grader, though, and assigns A TON of homework.
