She is the best by far in the school, especially if you are an English major. She will make you a better writer, unless you do not show up. I wish all the teachers would teach like she does, but most do not possess the ability that she has. She is a must take, you will not regret it.
Good teacher... this class in particular was really interesting, she's smart and picks the most intriguing works in literature. (Poe, etc...)Even if you dislike english, this class is pretty helpful, and easy. I recommend it.
Prof. D is the greatest!I couldn't wait for Saturday to come because I really enjoyed theclass.She knows her literature and a no nonsense professor.We focused on the origin of the detective.I read books by Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. We watched classic films on the subject.I purchased all of them and all of Chandler's books as well.
Loved her-her class was great. The choice of hard-boiled detective fiction was brilliant - approachable on so many levels. She's not exactly easy-if you don't do the work she'll nail you, but she's fair and made me think. If you have an opinion be prepared to back it up. I'm much more confident in my writing (and thinking) skills thanks to her.
Great teacher! I loved her class even though I wasnt excited about detective fiction...but she made it interesting and fun. She's not easy if you dont do the work, however, if you are interested she is great and very fair!!
SHE IS GOOD!
The best english professor in the department. I absolutely loved her class and I looked forward to going to class. Something I'm not known for! She made me interested in the subject matter,and the book "portrait of Dorian Grey", although a hard read, was very interested. I would totally recommend anyone to take her class. You won't regret it.
She is the best ENG prof in the department. The class and her personality were great fun. She was very helpful with questions you may have and concerned about whether or not you were learning the material. Take her class, you won't be sorry!
she is great!!! Register now for this Prof. She'll walk you through George Orwell's novel and science fiction movies like you're going on a love affair. We loved her.
Love, love, love, love, love her!!! Such a fantastic class, her enthusiasm for the written word motivates you to do your best.
Very clear instructions also great emphasis on understanding grammar.
I have never wanted to work so hard for a Professor or any teacher in my life! She knew each of us in the class and our strong points, determined our weaker areas and focused on them which brought more out of us. She's a real firecracker. She draws you in with how diverse she is. You'll learn so much. Such genius, that "hot" or "not" question.
This was by far the most valuable experience of my academic career. This professor asked not only that we examine the literature/ films but takes on a journey in search of “what lies “within”. We identify our core, and where we stand in respect to the world around us. If you want to be blind to what is going on in the world, don’t take this class.
Thank God for this woman. She makes me WANT to learn about the world, its politics and its history. Her comments were never watered down. She always responded to my comments and questions with sincerity, no matter how foolish they were. If you want a teacher who pulls you in from the beginning of class, take one of her courses. She is so worth it.
She was really helpful and always made sure you understood what you were learning. That's why she still teaching
She is great. Her teaching is very understanding.
She is really helpful and wonderful prof.
excellent class enjoyed it and wish all professors had her passion and drive.
Very helpful if you help yourself first!!!!
This is a great professor who teaches how to really write.
She is a great teacher.She gives a lot of test but they are relatively short and easy. She loves to give articles to summerize but it is good writing practice. Great teacher if you want to learn proper english.
She is so great that I don't even think that words can express it satisfactory. I recommend strongly any of her English classes which she teaches at BMCC. If you listen to her very carefully you might also understant yourself and your own life better! She is one of the best Professors and human-beings I have ever met in my life!
i recommend people to take her especially if your first language isn't english. she goes over grammar in the beginning of the class and most eng l professors don't do that. her test aren't hard at all. she's calm, cool and collective. i never had to complain about her. she knows exactly what she is doing and she is always on point. her assignments
This was the best class of my Spring semester. Prof. Day was very respectful, but encouraged us all to attain what she thought was appropriate during the semester. The course material was interesting, but not half as much as the conversations we had on politics and the like!
Professor Day is the best. She provided the classroom with many resources and all her classes were mentally stimulating. She gives us a lot of test but they are pretty easy if you follow her instructions. She is also willing to spend one on one time with students to provide them with as many assistance as she can. Take her and you won't regret it.
The professor's explanation was very clear and she often times stayed after class to assist us. Assignments were a joy to complete and I personally looked forward to attend each and every class. She stresseed the importance of attendance and punctuality and completing homework. Her class was never boring and she was always a joy to be around.
She is great professor, kind and ready to help. I did not have any problem to do her assignements because they were so clear.The class was interesting and i refreshing.
Made me do a lot of essays, however, the class and I had a chance to revise them for a better grade. We also had vocab. quizes as practices for the real vocab. test that was given after the midterm. Everything was multiple choice. Her class is pretty easy just a little boring for me (she's old).
I was impressed on her efforts in helping students understand the material, serious with disrupting elements that distract the class. She calls for discipline and seriousness when needed. She does not like lateness. She really knows how to teach. Whoever made the comment on her being old, not true!!(most likely some teenager, that considers anybody
that considers anybody over thirty is old!) it is a shame that people can be mean, and the reality is that she is funny, full of energy, charming, knowledgeable, very respectful, super nice, and not boring at all!! Considering that I took her class Saturday night, and I thought I was going to be bored. She made it fun, these are comments from other
I am a foreign student (non-native speaker) and she helped me fully to immerse into the American culture and English writing world. After her class I wasn't afraid to turn all my other classes papers in on time, without too many revisions and editing. Even though my Honors Project paper had to be corrected by a professor form the English Department
VERY GOOD PROFESSOR. GENUINE INTEREST IN TEACHING STUDENTS AND EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE-CAN'T GO WRONG! ALSO, VERY UNDERSTANDING
She was the best English Professor I ever had. She is great with her students. She is always available by email if you need advice on the assignments. She even made sure we were learning new vocabulary each week. Very fair grader and I got an A for her class!
If you really want to learn English Lit. Prof. Day is the one. All you have to do is read the books and do the work. She dont play when it come to doing the homework. She is very thorough and will help you if you need it.
Great professor ever. Very respectful to every student even from different countries. Explain material very clear and interesting. Intresting stories and enjoyable class. We have fun. Easy grader. I love her. She is extremely helpful and nice. I become talkative in her class. We saw movies in classes and i like it. She encourage us a lot and i lear
Love prof. Day. she is a very nice woman who knows her stuff and gets start to the point. i recommend everyone to take this professor!!!!
Taught me important things with grammar such as the foundations my previous teachers/professors never taught.
Prof.Day has been of great help. I do not have a strong educational background but because of her techniques I can express myself in a more educated fashion. Her grammer test actually help build my vocabulary skills. This class has been a great stepping stone for me and that is what BMCC is all about.
Prof day was very consice and implicit. She taught with strategies and stimulating methods that developed my english skills a lot. She is respectfull, and professional and her curriculum seems to be right on point. She also taught me all I need to know for the cpe...thanks prof day, from one barbara to another :)
As a full-time student, here for an education, I have to say Professor Day is right on point! I have sweeter Professor's, I have less demanding Professor's, currently I do not have a Professor preparing me for the next level as thoroughly as Professor Day. Thank you very much for the job you do Professor Day. I feel lucky to have had you.
She is the Perfect Community colege Enlish Teacher.If you need help with sentence structure, grammer and eassy formate,she is your Professor and if you stick it out with her your foundation for writing will be much stronger. However, if your paying for a more advance Englishwriting class look elswhere. Perfect community colge Teacher.:-))
Professor Day is a dedicated teacher. It was an absolute delight having her as an English teacher. I will never look at a sentence the same way. She taught me how to see every part in the structure of a sentence. I learned so much from this literature class, how to analyze and appreciate the work of many of these authors. She is a Beautiful Lady.
Professor Day is the best English instructor who I meet in BMCC. I really learn sth in her class. She teach us sentence structure,grammar, and essay instruction. The most helpful thing I learn is how to write a strong eaasy. Also, she is very nice.She answers our questions and give us many help in assignment. I recommend her class to everyone.
She is very nice professor. She always emphasize on grammer. Her instruction for writing eassys is clear and she also gives helpful tips for writing.She teachs good. I wish I could take her during spring or fall semester.Don't be late take her, you will enjoy working with her.
Take her!Take her! Take her! Unless you are paying for your education just to waste your time and money. You'll actually get a lot from her class. Yes, she is not easy, but by the end of the semester you'll be proud of yourself if you complete her course successfully. You'll learn, you'll grow. And she has an extremely interesting sence of humor
Great professor I learned so much useful things from this class she will help you become a better writer I absolutely recommend her this class is worth your money
Professor Day is a very good professor. i would recommend taking her. She takes her time to explain things. I like a professor who explains things because you actually get the material and leave the class knowing something. If you didn't understand something you ask questions and her answers are useful.
Her theme is the patriarchal society and her class is so eassy. Her two books are cheap you will not spend more than 25 dollars. She gives extra credits for our grade I had an A. Her materials are so interesting and easy. You will not regret to take her. Please try to take her because she is very helpful and I learnt a lot.
To be honest this proffesor is a waste of time. If you love english please dont take her, even if u write some crap she will give you a B she never goes over the books and give simple first grade essays that wont help you progress accademically....I got a good grade but didnt learn anything
i took her for ENG 201 and the theme was Victorian age.... it was super boring (to me) but as far as academics, all the essays are pretty basic 6th grade work usually long paragraphs (1 page) and an essay which was 3 pages. She focuses a lot on grammar.
I don't understand why i took her... seriously. I do better and I attended class most than other classmate, but I got lower grade than them. And I bought all books what she told me to buy, but I use them rarely and textbooks are clean because we didn't use them. This class waste of money and time also. And you better not make her upset or u fail.
she is a great professor and understands that not everyone comes from the same educational back round. i would highly reccomend you take her class. she also gives grammer test which is very helpful because most english teachers just assign essays. take her class you wont be sorry! love her!
Professor Day was absolutely the best professor for my Fall Semester. Her Class was very easy, and it was not hard. The class theme was war. She makes you write a 6 page research paper. She gives you a lot of writing assignments but the assignments are really your paper at the end of the day. She was the best! You will spend only 15 for her class!
Professor Day was simple the best! She gives two test and 6 page research paper. She is direct and to the point. She there to really help you and succeed in writing! The best part is that all you spend is 15 in a grammar book and chosen novel to read! Take her I recommend! Love you Prof. Day!!
Do not get her upset...Do not ask her too many questions. She was confusing, because she said one thing one week and the next week does another. She is a good professor overall.
WORST PROF I'VE EVER HAD! SHE GIVES GRAMMAR/VOCAB QUIZZES ALL THE TIME. TALKS TO PPL LIKE THEY ARE KIDS. IS NEVER CLEAR ON WHAT SHE WANTS BUT THEN GETS UPSET WHEN YOU TURN IN YOUR WORK & IT'S NOT HOW SHE WANTS IT. I'M AN ENG MAJOR BUT SHE IS SLOWLY/SURELY KILLING MY LOVE FOR THE SUBJECT. I'M GOING TO STICK WITH IT BC I HAVE NO CHOICE. NEED THE CRED
Awesome Prof: Day Really cares about what she it teaching, as well as the student. Always willing to help, espically if you don't understand she will help you until you get it.Take her if you can on English 1. you will not regtret it. she is like a angel.
I'm very lucky i can take her again. I love Prof: Day, as always she cares about how is students doing and as well as what she it teaching in class. she Always willing to help, espically when you get lose or not understand. She will help you until you get it.Take her if you can on English 2. She is a angel. You will not regtret it.
A great professor who really sets you up for success. The grammar exercises helped me write better and the assignments helped me understand how to set up essays properly. Lots of work, and do the homework, but you will be ready for your final! I will look for prof. Day for future classes.
Prof. Day is great! Lots of work but she sets you up for success. The grammar exercises are very helpful and will make you a better writer. I will keep for eye out for prof. Day for future classes.
This was another successful pick,Thx RateMyProfessor. Prof. Day is so helpful, I learned a lot, very friendly, very kind and a Love-able person. Got tested on vocabulary I didn't do so well on that but I wouldn't regret taking this class.I had Gary Richards for ENG 101. Both these professors have passion for what they do and very Cheap books!
Barbara Day is a great Professor! She makes the coarse interesting. I would highly recommend taking this Professor especially for foreign students as she gives helpful grammar exercises.
Very sweet prof, she made it very clear on what to do for the final and quizzes. loved her!
Prof. Day is such a great professor. She is so caring. Took her for two semesters and learned a lot. I highly recommend her. Her classes were very interesting. Will miss her.
She is very helpful and cares. Loved her interesting reading assignments. Will miss her!!
She didn't say it but she didn't seem to expect much of the class. I guess because she figures it is community college and we are not that smart anyway.This is how she came across. She doesn't encourage students to think, she just wants you to pass. Very boring.
Professor Day is one of the best professors I ever had. Being in her class, I learned, literature, grammar and history at the same time. She makes you work, that obviously means a lot of reading and writing, at the same time she cares about students' problems and help them. If you are taking English 201 at BMCC, she is to one you should go to.
Very helpful professor she takes her time to explain what she needs done. Gives quizzes and grammar test which was very helpful. Encourages student to find time for reading outside of school. Her class discussion had me finding history books to read. will take her class again
take her she's awesome. She loves to talk about politics. Easy class :)
She's great and very nice.
She is interested in students learning
Professor Day doesn't expect much so it is easy to pass her class. However, she gives out a lot of vocab quizzes and grammar quizzes. Just hand in your homework and assignments on time and do well on your research paper then you'll be fine.
Prof Day is a easy professor, gives a lot of quizzes but they are easy. Her readings are interesting and her classes never seemed to be boring. Good professor to pick if you're trying to get your credits. There's always an assignment, so even if you miss one you know you have plenty of more to go
If you are in her class, then don't be fool by checking this site just register a.s.a.p. because she is really good prof. I love her speaking way and I wish to speak like her. I learned a lot in her class. She gives a lot of very useful grammar and vocabulary quizes. She has really good experiense and she is one of the best professors in BMCC. Take
Prof. Day is the best English prof at BMCC. If you need Eng101 or 201 take her asap. you won't regret it.
In one day she gives four or five homework... she is really good teaching but she give a lot of homeworks and reading and quizzes
She gives a lot of quizzes, but guess what? If you don't do any ANY homework you can still pass that class because of those quizzes ;) ... she is a really good professor... take her
We had to write many papers, but I got A in her class
This professor is the nicest person ever. She's very understanding and will always try to help you. And her lectures are always interesting.
Professional and patient teacher. Gives a lot of papers but all of them are sort of preparation to final essay.
she's an excellent teacher. she takes her time with students and overall, the assignments she gives out are quite easy. just read what she gives you and participate and you'll pass this class. Yes there is a lot of essays but they are not hard.
Prof Day is very nice. She knows exactly what she is doing. Sometimes it is hard because she gives so many papers to read and write summary/analysis. She makes sure you understand a topic until you are an expert, that is what I like the most. In this class is really hard to get an A, so you'd better focus on her instructions to get a B or C.
shes amazing gets off topic but tells you how it is i really recommend her
Professor Barbara Day is an amazing old lady. She is cares about her students and gives a lot of feedback after finishing an essay. In this class i wrote a lot of essays and did a lot of grammars. I learned a lot and because of this lady i m better in my English writing than before. We also did a lot of readings and summary analysis papers.
She picks great readings for class, so much more fun and attention grabbing than the typical stuff. You have to work hard in her class, but you will enjoy some of it!
Too many homeworks! Boring lectures!
Her homeworks are confusing and she always say something and send and email that say something different.
I didn't attend much towards the end because I had her early. Lateness was okay but you'd miss the lecture which is kind of important. She doesn't repeat herself much so get the notes from students. Let me hand in work late and I had a good relationship with her. You'll def improve in grammar. She's so kind and caring too. Textbook is cheap!
She is an amazing professor and gives a lot of leeway. Mrs. Day will teach you how to write properly so highly recommend taking her
She's an amazing professor. She explains in class how to do her homework SPECIFICALLY, if you follow her structure you will do very well. There is a lot of writing in this class so expect essays for homework, however, they're not too difficult. Good readings and she gives chances to improve your grade. You have to work towards the grade you want.
I stopped going to class because I gave up after a while. She kept emailing my until I went to class. She wants you to pass and will help you in any way she can. TAKE HER!!!!
The ratings doesn't reflect her teaching techniques. Very test/quiz heavy and unless you already know the English language well, you probably won't be getting a high grade. She's very condescending to people and constantly contradicts herself. She'll say one thing and email you something completely different. Take Eng 101 with someone else.
Prof. Day is an excellent professor, and she is very facetious! She gives many quizzes including grammar and vocabularies. And she provides positive feedback for your paper and tries her best to help you pass the class.
She is very old school. Does a lot of grammar.
