Would love if she taught ENG201. She is not easy but i have learnt alot.
this prof. is the best and shes kinda of hot , her class is really easy and shes not the average prof
She is one of the best overall teachers in the school. She is thorough and treats the students with respect. She unlike most of the "Professors" @ BMCC actually cares about the student. Be happy if you get her, because of the teachers are lacking at best.
one of the best professors i have had, makes the class fun and interesting. definately not your average professor
She was great professor. Last semester i think she was the only prof that i like most. easy, fun class, helpful alot and she absolutely give you extra help if you needed. and always ready to give you a second chance and encourage you to do well allt the time. i love her
I have her this semester, and ithink she is so nice, and is good at teaching us how to write a good paper
shes very fun ....and makes the essay easy to understand
She keeps you interested and is very helpfull as well as kind. She is glad to help you if you need it. She is the best teacher I have so far.
SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!
IT WAS A PLEASURE HAVING HER AS A PROFESSOR, SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS TEACHING.
She is one of my best and favourite teachers. She makes things so easy for us because we have a lot of interesting discussions in class about all our essays and we don't have to buy a text book. She is absolutely a great teacher and a wonerful person. I will miss her a great deal.
April is an excelent teacher. She makes you think. That's what we can really call education, students are stimulated to use their brains insted to learn formulas and copy old boring stuff. Take her class. Super sweet, democratic and inteligent person!!
MUST TAKE!!! easy class with a great professor. TAKING IS BELIEVING!!!!! A+++++++
I took Prof Andres' class in the Summer '06. She really is straight foward. She tells you exactly what she wants. At first it seemed too easy, to be true. But, all she wants is what she literally spells out for you. I highly reccomend her. I got a B+. I could have received a higher grade if, I would have put more effort. Take her class!!!
April is a very easy going professor. She enjoys when you particpate and ask questions in class. The kind of person who is cool yet can be strick when necessary. April is one professor that you would wish she teach all your classes.
Professor Andres is the best teacher without a doubt. She depict exactly what teaching should be like. Very helpful and kind. Strict at times. Just listen to what she has to say and you'll be ok. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.Trust me! you'll Love her.
Professor Andres is a great teacher. She is exactly what teaching should be like. Very helpful and kind. Strict at times and her class is very exciting. Just follow her template and you will do well. Got an A. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.Trust me! I Love her.
Good teacher.You can tell she is a good woman.
April is a very good english teacher who is genuinely interested in the Students development and wellbeing. Her style is laid back / relaxed which suits me very well.
Her teaching style is very laid back. She teaches only what you have to do for the final exam which is good and easy. But those who want to develop English writing skill, she is too easy cause you don't really work hard.
She is a great person.
Highly recommended professor! April is easy-going with great sense of humor person. Take her course and you won't regret.
no textbook, no homework, some in-class essays. She is cool and down to earth!
There is a departmental final for all ENG 101 classes. She spends the entire semester preparing you for that final. She can be scatterbrained when discussing essays, but she will go out of her way to help, and expects you to speak up if you're lost. ESL wallflowers beware - she will put you in the front for your own good, she wants you to do well.
April is a great teacher.She is fun to be arround.no text books, no home work. the key to this class is the template.if u write essays according to her template u'll be fine.do lot of reading on yr own it will be helpful when writing essays. Great teacher. Take her ...
Very fun, laid back prof She emphasizes on a template to follow and focuses on preparing for Eng dept's final but the grades on her assignments hardly weigh against the grade of your final. I got nearly all A's on her essays but got C on final cuz of time limit & ended with B- for the class. Felt like my effort during the semester was all wasted
April was a very helpful teacher...she made sure to get her point across as far as what exactly she wanted from her students...i got an an A- and appreciated it very much...Love her! she's the best
Her methods are unusual, we can start sentences with "but" and "And" everything that I learned from HS went out the window. Follow her format, do not try to be creative!!! this is ENG 101! Once you learn to follow her template than you can become a little more creative. I love her! At first i wanted to drop her, but I'm glad i didn't. I got an A
i'm currently taking her, and i just love her. Shes the best!
The best professor I've had so far. She teaches you what you need to know, to prepare you for your finals. She's very chill!
Perfect!. There can be no better professor than her. Just simply awesome. I don't know what else to say...if you take ENG 101- I totally recommend you to take her. period.
prof. April is an ok prof. she seems to be a fair grader, however sometimes i thought she grades you if you have written what she likes and not what you like. she is picky, meaning that she will tell you, you could,ve said this instead of that. i would suggest her to those whose primary language is Enlish, but not really to those who it is not.
she is picky with what is written by you. she seemed cool with some students but disliked some like me just because i didnt answer her. sometimes you try and try and she just gives you a bad grade without any reasoning behind it. bad experience for me.
she is quite unfair for grading, attitudes toward students. you can't learn anything about writing essays except her templates that are useless....
Taken the summer course with professor Andres, and enjoyed it. She comes across very clearly & gets you to dissect the readings to understand the material well. Some may find her unfair in grading, but she'll surely get you to improve your writing skills. Her laid back approach in class discussions is also welcoming.
Not ur typical prof Seems like she doesnt take things 2 seriously which is a good thing.Shes good in xplainin things in a way that ull surely understand In order 2 succeed in her class jus show up and pay attention However, if ure lookin 2 learn GRAMMAR she isnt d prof 4 dat. No book required & b ready to hear 'Do u knw wat I mean' a million times
she is the toughest prof i have ever seen at BMCC
I LOVE APRIL. IM TAKING HER NOW AND SHES VERY RELAXED. MAKES ME COMFORTABLE IN CLASS. SHE CAN SOMETIMES BE AGGRESSIVE BUT ITS ONLY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. CANT BE SHY IN THAT CLASS OR SHE WILL CALL ON YOU ALOT. BUT SHES WONDERFUL MAKES EVERYTHING VERY CLEAR AND SHES EASY GOING. NOT TO MENTION FUNNY ! NO TEXTBOOK REQUIRED!!
she is the best i absolutely love her. she not the ordinary professor. she will help u greatly in all your essays and class is fun
she is a good prof.she will help u greatly in all your essays and class is fun
Her class is easy, not many works, but i can't say it is easy to get A unless you are good at explain you ideas in the class and agree with teachers' thought all the time. If you leave a bad impression in her mind, she will never give you a good grade.However, if you try your best, you will have a chance to get a good grade.
Awesome professor who intertwines English and real life. Incredibly relaxed and cool as well
Love this professor!!! She made everything so easy, I actually learned a lot in her class. She actually took us in a little trips too. She would give u extra chance if u r willing to get an A.
Love this professor!!! I learned a lot in her class and she actually took us in little trips too. Make everything really easy going and she doesn't stress u a lot like other professors. She will make class fun and interesting.
She is the besy professor I ever had at BMCC. April thoroughly prepares you for the English department final by teaching you the template of the thesis and supporting paragraphs. I wish she taught Eng 201 more often, because I would take her for Spring 2013. The class often had great debates /gender and race. I feel she is amazing and so laid-back.
The best professor I ever had!!! period!!! She is so laid back and down to earth. She made me a better writer and she PREPARES you the best for the English dept final. I am waiting until the summer to take her again for ENGLISH 201. I love her. Truly genuine and a great personality.
Amazing professor! so laid back, very nice, broad, detailed everything!!! never gave up on us class was very relaxed and she helped us prepare for the final and showed us a great way to write essays and even in 201 i still use it!! high recommend her!! she teaches at night i believe but shes great!!!!!
Sorry to say but not a good teacher,the class havent learn anything period finals are coming up n everyone say they are going to fail,only thing we did was read n annotate like a jnr high school kid.
She's an amazing teacher . Very layed back down to earth. Her class is easy if you just remember the format she gives you . I recommend her
Awesome teacher. Loved her class. Helped me do better on my papers. Great criticism. Couldn't ask for a better professor!!
BEST TEACHER EVER. I LOVE HER DEARLY. TRULY AMAZING. IM TAKING HER AGAIN FOR MY FALL 2014 SEMESTER ! I WISH SHE COULD TEACH ALL MY CLASSES!
Doesn't teach you much.
Very easy class to pass. As long as you do everything and don't slack off you will do great. She's funny and a great professor to have
Amazing very clear on what you need to pass the final, will teach you everything you need to know and make it very clear so you understand. highly recommend take her if you can i wish i could take her in my future classes
Kool professor. Two essays are required as reference for the Finals. Went through all the key points and used real life events to relate to the materials. Not much focus on grammar or spelling. No Home work but you are required to write papers for her in class to help prepare for finals. Very helpful and focuses on the format of writing an essay.
She doesn't teach anything, she just go to the classroom talks about her cat and dismiss early!! For me she isn't a good prof, maybe for other yes!
I had a great deal of fun with this professor. Very interesting person and very helpful! She makes you think deeply on the subject matter. The deeper you dig the better you do, and clearly it works.
She makes the lectures fun and she has a great sense of humor. But she does correct your mistakes in your paper im now more confienent in my writing and so happy I took her class
Super awesome professor who is very passionate about her a work. she doesn't micro manage you and you have to show interest and do your work. She will meet with you out of class to explain if you need to.I got an A in her ENG 201 . I wish you were teaching ENG 392 Be prepared to read poems, play and a book. Class trips are fun .
Great professor who cares about her students. Her class will be easy as long as you complete your assignments. She isn't a tough grader and is very laid back and friendly. Her class is easy going and fun. Would definitely recommend her!
If you love English and really want to learn moree! Like a lot a lot. Don't take her. If you want to pass yea take her. She's cool and laid back!! Also funny and sweet. Do your assignments!!!!!! All I have to say!
She's very sweet, follow her instructions and you'll do fine. Easy A.
Great class!! She's awesome. She took us on awesome field trips. Do the work, you will pass. Very lienent and works with you. She is so sweet. Easy A.
Professor was great!! Knew how to engage students. Hilarious! 4 research papers & no exams. Very easy A. Beautiful mind.
Professor Andres is a really nice professor. Many times she'd ask the class if we'd like to go on trips, or leave early. Throughout the semester I've had a total of 4-5 research papers and NO EXAMS. She allowed students who got a bad grade to redo it. I've contacted her whenever I had a quesstion, and she'd reply immediate.
She is okay, a little strict, but an interesting person.
I loved this professor! Her personality is great, and throughout the semester we only did 3-4 research papers and for our "final" we had the option to do a play or write another research paper. She didn't give no exams at all! Make sure to turn in your essays on time because she will deduct a grade letter.
she is nice and it was an easy class
she is nice and it was an easy class. She's really gives the students a different expirence.
Very sweet professor! She's caring, real and clear about her expectations. You have to write 4 papers/essays and a write a play. Her class was fun and she made it interesting. She even took us on field trips. I'm not an Eng person more into Science and Math, but I enjoyed her class. Participation matters, be there on time, and do the work.
Great proffesor overall. She's caring , hilarious, and well respected to and by her students. I highly recommend her for ENG. Tough crader but attendance and handing in your work is very important to get a good grade
She is absolutely wonderful, fun, creative and very interesting. She takes attendance everyday and make sure you hand in your assignments, if your going to be out hand it in a day early. The best English class, I have ever taken. She really does want her class to pass and is very easy to talk to, don't be afraid to ask questions.
This professor is awesome and friendly to students. However, she can be boring when she read the book, but at she least lets the class leave early every time which is a good thing. Also, this class is super easy just hand in your work and you will get an A.
Tough Grader
not easy class
She is a tough grader because i should get A- but she gave me B+
She is a great professor. She makes it so easy to pass, even if you fail or get a low grade on a paper she lets you rewrite it. She is funny and inspiring and cares for her students. I would recommend taking her class and you will be prepared to write any paper as she teaches very clearly how to write an academic paper!
I am currently taking her class, she is an amazing professor! She takes us on class trips and makes the lectures engaging and fun. She lets us out early almost every class and is available to talk and discuss your grades. She is a tough grader but makes it very clear of what is expected from you.
I honestly don't even know where to begin. First of, her explanations regarding how our essays should be outlined are completely vague. Secondly, instead of actually explaining the outline, she instead refers to look at our syllabus and talks to us like were stupid. Lastly, she has other students from other classes grade our papers!! STAY AWAY!!
Andres prof is unfair. She indeed treats some students well, gives them easy As, to maintain good evaluation. In the meantime she hurts the students maliciously, In my class, she graded 0 to a few students' final papers just because no time to read in class. She is definitely a slick politician, not a qualified professor, she should leave BMCC!
First impression isn't the best until the end. She cares if you care. Basically by showing up to class everyday early asking questions. If you want to pass and get a good grade on the Essays just go to class to do the drafts and then ask her questions about your essay! Follow her instructions and you'll be great! The extra credit is your attendance
April has changed me life about writing. I loved this class . I would come to class and it was like we all were family. She takes you on class trips. I would take her all over again. She will do everything she can to help you. Make sure you do the work and you will get the grade you want if you put the effort in. If I was you I would take her.
Professor April is so knowledgeable, and knows her work. I took her in the summer, and after one class with her, I can write a research paper in the blink of an eye, plus write a good introduction and a powerful thesis. I would recommend her class to anyone who wants to learn.
You don't learn anything. She just hands out stories to read and makes you pick a vague topic to do a research paper on. If she makes a mistake, she doesn't care because it is not her grade on the line. No matter what she is right even when she is wrong. Class trips are just to go stare at a place for like 5 minutes.
Prof April is a nice prof in general but when it comes to grading shes not that fair about it. She takes you on 3 class trips. 3-4 essays depending on how much time the class may need to complete each essays. Good thing is she doesnt give you final so you will be relieved. I gave her 3 rating cause of the readings she chose for each essays.
this professor has to be the best one i've had yet. she doesn't give any textbook requirements because she usually hands them out in packets. super easy class, just show up complete her handouts and participate. april is very easy to contact outside of class which was super helpful. hope everyone enjoys this class as much as i did !!!
Professor April Andres is a Great professor, her work is straight to the point.
Tough Grader Dont ruin your GPA
You don't learn anything in her class and she confuses you with whatever you have learnt about English writing before. Class trips are a waste of time. You are in college and not in high school anymore. Do not take her. Her class is a waste of time.
She's the worst. You won't learn anything about writing. She all over the place with her teaching and work. Yes, her work I easy, but her essay instructions are never clear. You are pretty much on your own with her. Her grading is ridiculous too, she will give a low grade for the littlest thing. pick another teacher!!!! (all of her class are bad)
don't let those good grades fool you. This lady doesn't know how to teach. If you don't understand, she'll blame you. Plus she's rude, when I mean rude I mean rude. she doesn't give feedback for your work because she doesn't believe in checking students' writing. she makes your classmates check your work. DON'T TAKE HER CLASS
This Professor is by far one of the best. I do highly recommend this professor to anyone. Do all your work on time and read all the material she provides, and the essays should go smooth. Also, participate and do all her discussion boards. If you put a little dedication you should be fine in passing her class with an amazing grade.
I had professor Andres as an asynchronous class. Her work was straightforward, but she was always available for clarification through email or Zoom. When in doubt, ASK. Her assignments were interesting to read. In terms of grading, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS and finish your papers/discussion board ON TIME.
TAKE HER!!! She only gives out 4 papers throughout the semester and some assignments here and there. DB's are important but are easy. Anyone who is complaining clearly didn't do all the work. Complete your assignments on time Easy A!! She's also very sweet and understanding.
She gives clear details of what she wants when you write an essay, if you don't follow those details you will lose points easily. Do your discussion board on time it can help in your final grade and she is also helpful outside of the classroom if you don't understand something you can contact her she'll explain it for you.
Very awesome Professor. But she is not clear when it comes to grading your paper. She finds so many errors on your research paper and yet will leave a comment saying this was a wonderful paper. The fact she want a student to look over your paper before you submit it is just horrible. Do your discussion board it counts for credits.
She is very kind and ends class very early. Always gives us the opportunity to ask questions. Assignments are pretty easy. However, she doesn't do weekly folders where you can click and everything is there. Therefore, it is a bit all over the place, but you can get the hang of it. She also gives a lot of docs to download, so keep that in mind.
Professor Andres is a very good professor and is very simple in how she wants her students to show their work in the essay. This class can help you write more than 3 pages with ease! The topics she wants you to write about are not hard as well. If I could take more English classes I would with her. Ask questions and she will answer them.
Professor Andres is kind and makes the class easy. Follow her instructions closely, complete assignments on time, and use unstuck ai for efficient study prep. An engaging class overall.
She is increadibly nice and caring and will answer any question you have, so ask questions. The discussion boards are where you can get feedback on draft outlines, and thesis statements. She will reply by text or email and always be online during her class online. She is very easy to work with if you commuincate. She is NOT tech savy!
This professor was a good one. Her style of teaching was very easy. The only negative thing I have to say about her is the micro aggression towards BLACK students and their names.
Professor Andres is a great professor. Her assignments are straightforward. Understanding the grading criteria is very important in order to pass this class. She could be a very tough grader, but it helps the students become better writers.
Professor April is very understanding she helps in so many ways. I enjoyed the classes very vey much. Thank you for your patients and for the time well spend professor.Dilcia P
