She challenges you to be a better writter and think more about the meaning of things you read. There is a good amount of reading but as long as you dont procrastinate you are fine. She helps you whenever you need it and is very clear in class. Her tests are fairly easy as long as you have read the material and pay attention in class.

I had an eight o'clock class with her and if she was able to make my mind work that early in the morning, then she's got to be good!

The teacher does not respond to emails very often. Also, she will not help you if you ask. She has zero tolerance for late work, but will take weeks to grade an assignment.

Van Camp is such a sweetheart and she really knows her literature. She does give a lot of work but if you're devoted you can easily pass. She's not a tough grader if you put what you've learned in eng1 to use. Theres a lot of reading, hw, and a few essays but they're not difficult. She gives ALOT of extra credit and truly cares about you passing

Easy class as long as you follow and pay attention to her feedback. I fumbled in the beginning of the class otherwise I would've had an A. I suck at writing papers, but with her feedback from our discussion posts it made the semester essay easier to write. She gives you a lot of resources to read through for help & she always responds to emails.
