Very good teacher, show up and do the work. No Final

very nice, different assignments; not the same thing everyday. Easy A

Excellent professor! Very helpful; easy class; each class is unique

Hella easy, take her if you get the chance.

great teacher. easy A. class is never boring, but you have to go to them.

if you need to take rws200, take this class! Soooo easy and its not even that boring. shes very helpful but you have to put in the effort

Class is pointless but she is pretty cool. She gives really cool essay topics.

Soooo easy...only 3 papers, practically no homework, You do have to go to 4 lectures outside class and write about them

She is so easy and nice. Just turn in your papers on time and ask her questions about your paper and she will like you.

Very Easy, unique assignments. You don't really learn anything.

Pretty easy. Just follow her guidelines. 3 papers and a portfolio. No tests. No reading.

Actually kind of fun. You get to pick your topic for every paper. Easy and original. It's not hard to get yourself to go to class.

Easy class. She's very helpful and lets u leave early when class is done.take this instructor if you have the choice for this course.

Pretty easy class. Only 3 papers and they are interesting topics. No reading or tests.

I absolutely loved this class! It was easy and made me want to write. Her topics were great and interesting. `3 Papers and portfolio @ end of term... Def. take her if you can!

She's probably my favorite teacher this semester. I've actually learned a lot in the class, she's very friendly and always willing to help. You turn in a rough draft and she explains what you need to change very thoroughly. She's great!

This was my favorite class all semester because we got to write whatever we wanted to and there were only 3 papers, no tests, and no outside reading! She makes writing fun and interesting!

I was dreading having to take another writing class. but she made it so easy and fun. the topics are easy and you don't feel strictly to writing formally. there was 3 outside assignments, which sucks. other than that her class was cool and is recommended.

Super easy teacher, nice, and very helpful. 4 papers, 3 outside readings, + 5 journal entries. No book needed.

one of the easiest teachers! three papers which where quite interesting and a portfolio at end of semester. nothing else. no book. no test. no joke. and somehow class always gets canceled which is great.

She is a great teacher. Makes an effort to provide interesting topics and takes the time to review student's papers. Would definitely recommend her to others.

her classes go by really fast. you go in class and you write- for the whole period. when there is an essay due, you always get constructive critisim back. i found her to be really helpful and aproachable. her class is truely an english class.

Love this lady! She is so nice and soo willing to help. Write 3 essays the whole semester, and you pretty much get to pick your topics. Easy grader, and she cancels class a lot.

One word, EASY!

I hated the fact I had to take this class, but she made it really easy to pass. Take it C/NC!

awsome that is all i can say. easiest class and really one everyone should take. good teacher to take.

Prof. Brush is great! She hardly assigns any work and she's very intelligent. I really learned a lot from her class just by writing three papers. Super easy and actually enjoyable!

If you have her you lucked out! She is easy, nice and helpfull! Dn't do c/cn, just go for the A. Do a bunch of small journal/ writing assignments, and 3 papers. No tests! In class assignments help prep for papers. Take the class!!

This class is pretty simple. Barbara is laid back and always willing to help. There are 4 papers that are short and simple. Class assignments are also short and simple. This is not the most exciting class-yet if you need to take it, take it with Barbara.

I took this class at 7 AM. This is the BEST class to take at 7 AM. She's a very modern woman.

she is a pretty cool teacher. the papers are really easy. the first two arent even really academic papers. i suggest you do the journals and assignments right when they are given or else you will be stuck with a lot of catch up work at the end of the semester. the goes a million miles an hour but there really isnt a lot going on in that class

TAKE HER. sweetest, most caring, most helpful RWS teacher you'll find. three 3-5 pg papers, easy topics; five 1-2 pg journals, easy to bs; three 1-2 page public speaking write-ups, easy to bs even if you didn't actually go. i think she gives 3/4 free absences, so if you actually go to class there's no reason you can't get a solid A.

I am so glad I took her for RWS. You have to go to almost every single class but if you do then you will definately get a good grade. the papers are really easy and she is very nice and helpful.

this was one of the easiest classes i have taken so far, and i know that it was because of barbara brush. she was so nice and friendly, but very helpful and encouraging too. you do need to go to every class, because there are a lot of in class assignments, but even if you miss a day you can catch up. if you take RWS, get her!

I think she never catches her breath while talking..hehe.. =)

Class was super easy..you never even stay the whole 50 minutes of class. She is very straightforward but a little scatter brained! Take her for RWS 305W if you need to satisfy the WPA requirement.

GREAT teacher. My favorite so far- knows what she's talking about. Doesn't baby you but isn't harsh: VERY fair. If she likes you she'll recommend books for you to read. Just make sure you keep every writing assignment you do in class cos you'll need them at the end of the year. Easy to get an A if you stay focused.

Good, modern, chill teacher. Good Class. Rarely any homework. Mostly classwork which she doesnt collect till the end of the semester. SO KEEP YOUR STUFF. Essays were fair. No exam. Assigns public reading responses which I got lazy. So do them early and get them over with.

Awesome professor! If you have to take RWS, take with Brush. The only thing that sucked about the class is she makes you write 3 career presentation responses and 5 journals. Other then that she is a very nice teacher!

Easy class and awesome instructor! Her paper assignments will make writing easy! No final exam; only a folder with your writings from the semester (don't throw anything away!). Highly recommended!!

Professor Brush is AMAZING! She is the first and only writing teacher that didn't inspire me to set something on fire. She spends time with you and dedicates herself to the class. If you get her, don't take her for granted!

Brush is great! You only have 3 papers and they don't even have to be that long! I hate criticism (from past English classes), but hers was VERY helpful. As long as you edit your final draft how the teacher and peer edits tell you to, you'll get an A! Plus, there's no final! Just turn in a folder with all of your writings.

Super easy. No homework. Only readings and questions done in class. Whole semester consists of 3 really easy papers!

Awesome teacher. She helps you with all three of your papers. If you have her proofread your paper your automatically guaranteed an A. Very little work and 0 stress.

Brush is great!! I was worried about taking this class because I usually hate writing papers but i love her class! She's super helpful with all papers and is excited to read what you write. Make sure you remember to print out the readings off blackboard because she asks questions on them almost everyday. She's one of my favorite teachers :D

Would have been easier if I did not literally wait to the last day to write the papers sometimes. I hate writing wit ha passion, but she is a good teacher.

Never had any homework, just remember to keep everything. She is very helpful when reviewing your papers.

There's almost no homework. She's really helpful about proofreading your papers. If you take this class, just try not to procrastinate when you turn everything in for you portfolio.

just be sure to attend class. if you do that, you'll be fine. there's no homework, but there are in-class assignments that are due in the end-of-semester portfolio. essays are kinda stupid, but she's really helpful with proofing them.

This teacher is super sweet and makes you excited about your writing. She's willing to help you edit your writing and truly believes in revision. If she helps you proofread your paper you're almost guaranteed an A. She gives about 5 journals and 3 public responses due until the end of the semester. You only have to write 3 papers all semester =)

Super Easy, awesome teacher. First paper you get to not come to class for a month. Very nice, helpful and little work

Fok Yes!! Take this class is super easy.She would give out an essay and you did not have to show up for a month until the paper was due.She had this journal entries which were children stuff, in class was fun and interesting.she is really sweet, nice and caring.No textbook! easy A, only three essays the whole semester, no final!

Great professor! Class consists of 3 assignments, journal entries and a research assignment. Attendance is not mandatory but there are random checks. Overall this is your best option for taking a class that will satisfy the upper division writing requirement in case you got an 8 on it like I did.

Professor Brush is one of the nicest, coolest teacher on campus. Not only do we only have three papers, we don't have to go to class for a month in between. She's a sweet lady, but also a GREAT teacher. I definitely learn more from her class than any of the other English classes I've taken in the past. TAKE HER CLASS!

The class itself is so easy, it almost feel like a total waste of time. Attendance is mandatory, she knows who you are and takes attendance. There is four papers, and a portfolio with simple writing assignments. Get your stuff done early and you should cruise through it. It really is way too simple to pass

It's like the easiest class in college ever. We write 3 papers about the easiest subjects known to man (i.e. a letter or a movie/tv show review) and a portfolio due at the end of the semester. She's really helpful as well.

easy professor. assigns 3 papers and a portfolio. there's in class writing assignments that she goes over right after. she's really nice and helpful. if you can, take her! i didn't try that hard and got an A-.

Great professor, very easy class. Even though this class was a waste of my time, she made it enjoyable and at least I managed to get an A but I took it for CR :( If u have to take this class take it with her, she's by far the best from the Rws department :)

I already enjoyed writing before the class, but she made me love it even more. She is very clear about what she looks for. Classes are usually brief. She holds conferences for the 3 major papers. I never went, but still got an A on each one. There are just those easy, even fun, prompts and a portfolio w/ in-class stuff and short outside writings.

soooo easy. the week before a paper is due she cancels that entire week of class too. and she randomly cancels class so check blackboard. she'll randomly take attendance (if it looks like 50% of the class is there) so try to go.. only requires 3 papers

Such an easy class!! Just make sure you turn everything in and you are golden. Easiest class I've ever taken at state.

i would definitely recommend taking this class! you have 3 papers, no midterm or final. you have in class writings that you turn in at the end of the year, so you can work on them all year long. also you get to choose your own paper topic (under a certain category) so she gives you freedom to write about whatever you would like!

3 papers, a couple of journal entries, and a folder to turn in at the end of the semester. Easy A.

Greatest teacher of all time. I had her for both 100 and 200 and she could not have been any easier. I got an A+ in both classes. I highly recommend taking her.!

Very good professor. Explains everything clearly and you only have 3 papers. If you go to class and listen to her instructions you will do good. Highly recommend this professor.

Don't need to buy the textbook. Extremely easy grader and there is only 3 (very short) papers. There are some journals you need to turn in at the end of the semester (easy). Honestly felt like a freshman year of high school intro to english class. If you don't get an A in this class... well maybe college isn't for you.

Easier than my AP Lang class in high school. 3 major essays, a handful of in class writings that are basically Q&A, and 4 or so journals. Class meetings were extremely short. No class for a week for each paper for conferences. If you are a good writer, you will do fine and love the minimal class time.

Really easy class, take it! Grades easy, and did I mention no tests!

She was one of the best teachers i had so far at state i really enjoyed her and her class is super easy. only 4 papers and a binder due as a final i guess you can say. not hard at all and class never stays until the end

You have to show up to class everyday but the assignments are crystal clear. She always gives examples. You're a FOOL if you take anyone else. Best English teacher

She is one of the best teachers for RWS you could ever have. She's kind and helpful. Her class you have 4 major papers and in class writings that are easy. I recommend!

Wish I could have her for English for all 4 years. Had 3 essays and in class questions for articles. Everything you do is turned in at the end of the semester so you can work on it at your own pace. Great teacher. Paper conferences very helpful. Definitely recommend!

The best English teacher ever. Not only is she easy to work with the papers are really and un-expecting.

Brush is a cool teacher. We only wrote three papers this semester, and they were all actually fun to write. Attendance is pretty much mandatory because she collects classwork at the end of the semester. She's down to earth and the workload isn’t bad at all, so the class is nice. And you three weeks out of the semester off because of conferencing.

Really nice professor, helps a lot with essays and cancels class the week of essay revisions. Also, you dont have to turn in all your classwork until the end of the semester. Overall pretty easy and understandable class.

Professor Brush is awesome! You only have to do 3 essays the whole semester and there's no final. She's very clear with what she expects from you. For every essay you can conference with her. (There's also no class for a week per essay conferences) It's an easy class and you have a few in-class assignments.

She is a sweet teacher although. She does not expect you to be a perfect writer. she conferences with you for each paper and you have about three papers in the entire semester. Her class is pretty simple but it does not really teach you anything.

She is a super sweet teacher who is very explicit on what she wants on your essays. Plus there's only three essays a semester. LOVED her class!

She's the best! She TEACHES the material but doesn't bombard students with loads of work. Just make sure to keep up with your journal entries and papers. Go to class, she will guide you through your papers. Very clear cut class, effort is needed though.

There was no waiting around time in class, she always had what she wanted to do ready and we went through it fast, and we got out early basically every day. Loved the class because she let us mold our papers into what we wanted to write about with minor guidelines. Don't lead your final portfolio to the last minute though!!

Definitely recommend her for this class!! Only 3 essays, no homework, and she offers help whenever you ask! She's very clear about what to include in the essays, but is very big on writing where the prompt takes you. Overall, very easy class!

Lets just say if attendance was not mandatory, I would have never shown up. This is by far the easiest English teacher at SDSU. Limited amount of assignments and only 3 short essays. I can't even call them essays, because there was no essay aspect to them. Barely keeps you in class, always let go early. Shes a nice lady, HIGHLY recommend her!

She is a extremely nice lady! Essay topics very easy such as a memory as a child or movie review. Class was very short and to the point. Three very easy essays made up semester grades. No homework, literally wrote essays the day before they were due and got A's on all of them. I highly recommend her!

I felt like we were barely in class for the most part, but i did learn well in this class. it's really just a walk in the park. But careful, there are side essays that can add up if you slack in them or wait til the end. BUT! i made it, you can you. She lets you choose your topics! it's pretty awesome.

best professor alive, she was by far my favorite. Made my first sam at sdsu fun, and never kept us a another minute then was needed. 3 essays , easy topics and so excited for taking her again for rws200.

Brush is a great Professor! Very straight forward and easy essay topics. I would have gotten an A if I had turned in a couple assignments, but I had that coming. I definitely recommend her!

DEFINITELY TAKE this professor. Only 3 essays entire semester. No books to read. No tests. No quizzes. No in class writings. Get 3 weeks taken out of semester for conferencing on papers. Only turn in 2 essays entire semester and then you turn in everything at end. Lots of in class easy busy work, but make sure you do it because it's due at the end.

I highly recommend taking this class. Professor Brush is very passionate about the material and very thorough in explaining exactly what she wants. There are three papers with fairly easy prompts (especially compared to prompts I heard from other professors in this course). There are several assignments that can only be done in class though.

TAKE THIS CLASS. Professor Brush was my favorite professor of the semester! She probably let us out about 20-25 minutes early about 75-80% of the classes. She is very clear on what she wants, and she does not as for much. My friends all had so much work and were struggling in their RWS classes but me? Nope. This class was an easy A. Take it!!!

This was the easiest class I've taken so far. There are only three papers due throughout the semester. She is a very fair grader, but if you follow the requirements you will get an A. She is very sweet and soft spoken and will answer any questions you have. Her conferences are also very helpful. And her class almost never stayed the whole time!

3 easy essays, you pick your own topic! Everything is at your own pace. You get a week off class for conferences before each paper is due. 4 journals plus in-class writings due in a portfolio at the end of semester. GREAT professor, planning on taking her for 200!

I would definitely recommend her! I am going to take her class for RWS 200. There are 3 essays of the semester and the topics are very open-ended. You also will have 4 journal entries and 3 speech reviews to turn in with your last essay in a folder at the end of the semester. She has conferences for each essay which were VERY helpful.

I swear, best english class I've ever taken. If your the person who has a creative mind and somewhat likes to write, then this class is perfect for you. Class always ends atleast 20 minutes early. Grading is very clear and practically an easy A if you know what you are doing. I strongly recommend her class to anyone.

If you want to take a really easy English class I would definitely recommend her. One complaint I have is if you aren't able to get one of the 9 spots for conferences she won't look at you paper and help you. I didn't really understand that. Unfortunately, I didn't learn anything and my writing didn't improve at all. I won't be taking her for 200.

This is the easiest class I've ever taken. No tests or quizzes. 3 papers assigned throughout the semester. 3 weeks of class are cancelled (a week before each paper is due) so instead of class she offers optional conferences. You do some class work that is easy to make up that you turn in at the end. That's it. She is soooo nice.

She is a great teacher! Take this class! There are no tests and only 3 essays with a final notebook at the end. Go to office hours for your paper revisions and you will get an easy A on all of them. She grades nicely and if you just show up and keep your stuff in order you will get a good grade. Would take her class again! Strongly reccomend!

LOVE BRUSH. She's really easy and laidback. Usually lets you out of class early and each paper gets a week for conference. Conferences are not mandatory, so you could get up to 9 days of no class session in the semester. There's 3 papers and some journal entries that you have to do but they are very easy. Really wish I got her as my 200 professor.

I loved her and thought she was there if you needed it especially with the conferences. I didn't go to any of them though and I did fine. The only thing I would say is that a lot of your grade remains a mystery until your final notebook gets handed in and that bothered my a little.

Great professor and great class. Final grade is comprised of three essays, in-class writings and short do at home journal assignments. Frequently got out of class early and given plenty of time to complete all assignments. Would highly recommend this class to anyone.

Great class and professor! She is very nice and laid back. There are 3 essays and one final notebook to turn in at the end of the semester that consists of the 3rd essay along with the in class writings (easy) and the journal entries. She holds optional conferences for a week before peer reviews which are extremely helpful.

Professor Brush is great!! She assigns about 5 journals to write, 2 pages each; but grades very fair. Quick in class writings are expected, so go to class. Three main papers, around 2 to 4 pages, one is a cover letter. Nice lady and many conferences, so you get a break from class a few days while others conference. Must Take!!

Professor Brush makes it very clear what she wants for the essays. Assigned three essays, in-class writing, and journals. In-class writing and journal are turned in at the end of the semester with your final third essay. Prof. Brush is really sweet and caring. Just go to her office hours and conference your essay if you need help.

TAKE THIS CLASS! She is cool, laid back, hardly assigns work, consistently lets class out early, and is a very easy grader. She's also really helpful and engaged with the students! Easiest class of my semester it was such a relief to end up with such a great prof. Do not pass up the chance to take it with her if you can.

Professor Brush leads such an amazing RWS 200 class. 3 papers with great prompts and 5 outside journals that are 2-3 pages. She is a fair grader and wants everyone to succeed. Attendance is required but class is canceled for a week of review for each essay and class often gets out early. TAKE THIS CLASS, you will not regret it!

Professor Brush was easily one of the best English/Writing instructors I have ever had. The class is ridiculously easy as long as you're willing to show up, do the in class (and a few out of class) writings, and put a decent amount of effort in your essays. In total, it's three essays, five journal entries, and a bunch of in class writings.

Professor Brush is a great professor! The class consists of inclass reading/writing assignments, 3 essays, 5 journals, & attendance that determine the grade. Conferences are amazing because you not only get a chance for her to assist you but some classes off as well. Show up to class as often as possible (attendance might make or break grade).

Honestly, this was a pretty boring class for me. But, I LOVED Brush. She was clear, nice, and always easy to contact. I recommend going to her optional conferences because she really helps you out. There's 3 essays, and I got an A on all of them because at the conference she would tell me what I needed to fix in order to get an A. She's great!

Writing class so of course there is a lot of reading and writing, but its really easy. Short reading article night b4 class, then questions about your opinion of the article to promote critical thinking. No books. No exams. Journals and feedback put in a folder & turned in @ end of semester. Nothing due right after class so time to work on it later

Only a few papers and small quizzes. Don't wait until the last minute, go in to her office hours and she will read and correct your papers. Easy A!! She is super sweet and passionate about teaching and animals.

Awesome teacher!! Took her my first semester at State, her papers are super doable and she gives you plenty of time, all narratives. She also assigns journals that are due at the end of the semester, I did them in 2 days because they were easy topics :)
