She's a neat lady- just the assignments are a little demanding especially if you have more than just 2 classes there to deal with during the week. So.. eh. But it's an OK class. Just stay on top of the work and you'll be fine.

Dr. Lewis is an excellent teacher and keeps you on your toes. She has a very laid-back attitude if you get to know her, but is somewhat strict in the classroom. I would reccommend her to anyone that is willing to work hard and doesn't take grading personally. She has a lot of fun in the classroom and she is always willing to help. Beware prudes!

very helpful, keeps you busy. sticks to curriculum, and tries to make it easier. great lady, fun to talk to, and pretty neat class

she is an excellent teacher that I ever taken. when I took Comp 1 i really had a horrible teacher who was not ready to impact the knowledge to her student but when I took Dr Lewis that is when i really learnt how to write very well. she taught me Comp 2, America lit 1&2 this is a straight A class, attendance is mandatory but you can only miss clas

crazy funny lady !! She really knows what she is talking about. Show up and do what she says and you can make an A. She likes it her way so do what she says. Very interesting and funny !! TAKE HER !! but be prepared to show up and do the work. 2 papers and 2 tests in ameri lit 1.

very nice after you get to know her, but do Not GET ON YOUR BACK SIDE OR ITS OVER

Dr. Lewis is a good teacher, but she is very domineering and doesn't allow much class discussion. Every single bit of the subject matter she discusses deals with Christianity. She doesn't give you any idea what's on the tests, and she doesn't even grade the papers, they're either "acceptable" or "non-acceptable, whatever that means.

Someone should have told me the Bible is a prerequisite to her class. If you want to join in her discussion you better know the Bible inside and out. Other wise you will receive a look like your a moron. Before this class I liked English, she turned me off of it.

Dr. Lewis is a great teacher. her class is interesting & i recommend it just for that purpose alone. This class was easy for some & difficult for others b/c she doesn't allow room for creativeness in your essays. she tell u how to writ them word for word & that's how it needs to be or u won't get accepted.

Dr. Lewis is very strict, but a very good teacher. Don't let the negative comments deter you from taking a class with her. In the first few weeks, she tries to weed out the kids that don't try. If you make an effort to do well in the class, you will. Go see her during office hours for help on your essays. She will tell you EXACTLY what to change!

if you take her class be ready to work... Do the readings, write the papers how she says(she idiot proofs them!) and if you have any problems go to her office hours: she will practically write the paper for you if you ask for help. anyone who does not pass her class fail by their own accord b/c she is very helpful- just ask!

Teacher is alright. She can be a bit inconsistent at times with the papers. Be prepared to work and read the stories. Easy to pass if you do the work.

Good prof, but very hard... all of my papers had to be resubmitted multiple times before finally being accepted. Make sure to go to her office for help. She's very knowledgable and you can learn a lot from her... but be prepared - read EVERY assigned story and keep up with the papers! Don't slack..

This teacher is great. She can be tough and she doesnt take excuses of any kind, but if your honest and you do the work you will get an A. With the format she has you use the papers write themselfs. The only reason anyone would struggle in this class is if they did'nt read the assignments or follow her process. I have taken her for 2 classses

Best English professor i've had! She is strict and has her ways but everything is laid out for you. If you follow her directions, there is no way you can fail. Get your papers accepted in reasonable time so you can take the C test before the deadline and move on to the A & B papers. Go see her in office hours. Don't get on her bad side! Great class

while yes this teacher is extremley rude and she forgets alot of things she has said then takes it out on the class, she was easy to take. i tooke engl 1302 and all you have to do is follow her outline on the syllabus and bam maybe a few edits but nothing too terrible. i would recomend her so what if shese rude.

If you want an easy A, go professor Lewis. All you have to do is show up for class for participation points, and follow the format for the papers and that's it. If you get offended easily, don't take her. She can be rude, aggressive and she is not afraid to call you out.

She is one of those professors who you have to understand in order to like. She can be difficult or seem like she's being rude, but it's just her straight forward-ness. She does her job well, and takes pride in her accomplishments. I recommend taking her if you want to actually learn, rather than study the material and forget about it.

I took comp II, If you listen and can follow instructions in the packet she gives you, no problem. If you have difficulties go to her office during office hours and she will be glad to help. She is extremely knowledgeable and deserves a tremendous amount of respect. She has a tough outer shell but a really big heart underneath. Loved her!!

Good teacher, very helpful if you go to her office and talk to her. If you can follow the "Lewis Way" packet she gives you, there is no way you should maany gradlower than B.

I really had a better understanding or writing after this class. I learned so much, and I'm very grateful for taking this class.

One of my favorite professors. I loved her life story, very motivating and she is extremely brilliant! She is tough as nails and caring at the same time. She has certainly enriched my life! I highly recommend her.

Honestly shes a great prof. Super easy. She maybe rude at times. Just act like you are trying and she'll help you out. Follow her packet, and go to the tutors she tells you about. She pretty much tells you how to the write the paper. Easy A

If you're taking this class "just for the credit" chose another professor; Dr Lewis is not the professor for people who are there "just for the credit." If you're taking her class in preparation of higher rigors of writing and to enhance your capability to communicate effectively, she is the professor for you. She has standards - most at ACC don't.

Dr. Lewis is a great teacher. Each students grade depends on their ability to adhere to the schedule and complete the assignments. Dr. Lewis is extremely clear with the syllabus and no student should be confused as to what is expected of them. If you're looking to improve your skills as a reader and as a writer, take this class! A+

Very good teacher. She can be tough sometimes, but that helped me be a better student and writer. I took Dr. Lewis for English Comp 2 and World Lit 2. She shares a lot of personal information about herself and that allowed me to connect with her and the class better. She's unconventional and that makes her standout as an english teacher.

This professor made me LOVE college, she was very clear on how she wanted things done and if you followed her instructions you made a great grade! she is friendly and she was and still is one of the best professors I've ever had!

Dr. Lewis is clear and concise at the beginning of the semester of what she expects from you and if you follow her directions you will pass with ease.

Dr. Lewis is intense b/c she wants everyone to understand the expectations. Read the material & follow her instructions and you’ll get an A. Go to the learning lab to meet w/her assistants to learn the “123”way before starting your 1st paper. Dr. Lewis is passionate and doesn’t have time for people who aren’t taking their education seriously.

Follow instructions in the packet. You can find other people's papers online and use them as a guide to kind of know what you need to do. Papers are simple to do. C paper test is easy dont be nervous B and A are just as easy as long as you pay attention to the instructions. Intimidating but she is sweet. You are on her time not the other way around

Dr. Lewis prepares students for later academic study. The lessons I learned in her class have been applicable through my undergraduate completion. Her method, “The Lewis Way”, has earned me more than one A on graduate papers in business school. Take her class, pay attention, learn, and move on.

Incredibly interesting and insightful person. Her passion for analyzing texts through one's own personal lense is a major aspect of her teaching, which makes it fun. May push assignments back, but STAY ON TOP of all papers, or ahead to be safe and you will be good. Emphasizes the value of hard work. Clear instructions. Overall, great experience!

Passionate about students learning how to deal with the world, which is cool and shows in her teaching. Classes get shorter and shorter throughout semester! Has very specific (realistic) expectations for papers. Demands a lot of respect; show her that. May change the calendar, but not without good notice and reasonableness. Very available for you.

It's true, she can be very tough but I personally see this as a good thing as she is helping to prepare you for the 'real world'. At times I found myself very intimidated by her and at others she had me laughing until my sides hurt. Don't take this class if you aren't willing to put forth the effort and can't follow directions.

Dr. Lewis is by her syllabus, I learned a lot in this class for effective writing. Follow her plan on how she wants your papers and you will fine. Attendance is a must or you will be dropped.

She may be a little intimidating, but if you follow her "Lewis way" you should do fine. She gives you a 50 page handout on the first day and it literally gives you step by step instructions on how to write your papers. There's no reason why you should fail this class. She's very consistent with her office hours and will help you if you need it.

Intimidated by Dr. Lewis at first. Eventually became one of the professors I respect the most. Very strict on papers, has her own way to write them. Really funny in her story telling. Ended up taking her again for American Lit. Also, check out the book she wrote! Would take her again if given the opportunity.

I took two of Dr. Lewis' classes in 2007 and her classes stand out the most in retrospect almost a decade later. She is a fascinating woman, and although she can be kind of scary sometimes, it is worth withstanding because she is also very funny. If you work hard and listen to what she tells you to do, you should do fine in her class.

My suggestions to anyone considering professor Lewis would be read through the positive and negative. They say the same thing its just the people who are different, if you like clear, concise, and exact teaching take Dr Lewis. If you are sensitive, don't take criticism well, and cant follow instructions then don't take her its that simple.

She is an Amazing Professor!!! Dr. Lewis is ready to help anybody when they need it. She is very understanding when it comes to school-related topics and personal problems. The grading criteria is straight forward and easy to follow as long as you listen and pay attention. Easy 'A'.I would definitely recommend Dr. Lewis to everybody!

Don't know why a lot of people don't like her. She might be a bit harsh but is willing to help you. Essays are pretty easy and straight forward. Just make sure its done in HER FORMAT.

Dr. Barbara Williams Lewis is an amazing professor. She is thought provoking; she will challenge you! She is straight and to the point. I love her!

Love her! I've taken her twice and would again. Yeah, she's intimidating and stern but you can tell that she has a passion about what she teaches. Dr. Lewis is very particular and thorough about how she wants the essays written. Very insightful woman who's not afraid to tackle controversial topics. She's one of the best teachers I've taken at ACC.

I've been exposed to some of the most thought-provoking literature in her class. Dr. Lewis makes English fun by playing songs mentioned in the readings, having groups perform dialogue from stories, & showing pictures of an author to help you get a better sense of the writer's mind. I enjoyed hearing her feedback on our written analysis of readings.

Dr. Lewis is an excellent professor. Very insightful and willing to give you help if you ask. Very specific in her instructions and a tough grader. I enjoyed this class even with the level of difficulty. Make sure to follow the syllabus to the T

If you have delicate sensibilities, avoid her class at all costs. She knows her stuff and will only go over your paper once before its due -- and will do this to only one paper all semester. Extremely, brutally clear about her expectations. Probably one of the best professors you'll ever have if you know what's good for ya.

I love Dr. Lewis! I took her for two English II and American Literature. Yes, she is a tough grader and she also has her own 'The Lewis Way' style of writing. She's strict, but also hilarious. Which is why it made this class fun to me. However, if you are a student that study hard for an A, then take her class. If you are not, then don't take it.

she's worth taking, she tells you EXACTLY what to do for each paper in her packets, EXACTLY, if you don't follow EXACTLY what to do she'll let you know. 1 of the Best if not THE best professor I've had. You may feel shes too blunt with you at times or rude, the problem isn't her, it's that you're too soft. She'll prepare for future universities.

Dr. Lewis was by far one of the best instructors that Ive had. As long as you follow her instructions to the letter and come to her for help or feedback, then the course is a breeze. This is not a course you can pass by doing what you want, how you want, and when you want to.

Regardless of any other ratings, at face value Dr. Lewis is a stern older lady that some might find intimidating at first. But mind wise, she is a caring and sassy figure much like my grandma- as long as you do your work, listen to what she says, and be respectful; she truly cares about broadening your English skills.

Dr. Lewis is very direct about what you need to do to get an A. Although her packet of instructions is helpful, the B and A paper directions can get quite confusing so be sure to get started on those ahead of time. Dr. Lewis is a great storyteller and class time is always interesting. Just be sure to do EXACTLY what she says and don't be scared!

Professor Lewis teaches very strictly, and doesn't baby anyone. It's imperative that students keep course materials from day one to finals, and that they follow all instructions as provided. Students will be punished for not making a consistent effort, even if the task may seem excess or extra. Learn from her instructions, and you will succeed.

Dr Lewis is a very good professor. She is strict when grading papers, but as long as you do what she says, you will pass. There are about 5 papers you need to write and after you pass those you can write the C paper. After writing the C, you'll need to do the B and finally the A. She might seem mean, but she will help you if you ask for help.

I recommend taking Comp 1 with Dr Lewis before going to Comp 2 since you'll understand her style to be more likely to get an A. Comp 2 felt easier to me than Comp 1. In comp 2 though, you'll have to read a whole book and write a paper about it. As long as you try and ask for help, she will tell you where you're wrong and help you.

I took Dr. Lewis's class in the summer of 2020. You do have to sign in every day (Mon-Thurs) for attendance, but other than this all we did was write papers. We only used the textbook twice, once for reading questions and once for a paper. She is a very lenient grader and sticks to the syllabus. Any emails I sent her were answered within a day.

Throughout the class, you will be assigned 7 papers. You cannot move on from a paper until it has been accepted. She is a very tough grader and wants the paper written in her own way, If you are good at writing essays and adapting to a new syllabus take her, if you are bad at deadlines and essays do not take her. She cares a lot about her students.

I loved Dr. Lewis. As long as you take her advice and follow her syllabus, the class will be an easy A. I noticed she gave students a lot of chances to get homework turned in. She does not take kindly to disrespectful attitude. If you have your camera on during lectures, she will call on you a lot!

She is absolutely amazing. She is very tough and will not put up with your excuses and laziness. She will be your best friend or your worst enemy, but YOU get to chose. Show up, use your voice, write your papers, read your homework, and she will be your favorite teacher ever. Do not waste her time, and she will not waste yours.

Provides a supplemental package that tells you EXACTLY how she wants her papers written. I see complaints about that but honestly it's a map to making an A. How could you complain? Let go of ego and just write it the Lewis way. Give her your full participation or she will call you out. Class discussion is funny/feminist. I love this Professor.

I took her for a 8-week Spring Course and that made it very difficult and i do not recommend to ANYONE. No actual lectures, explanations, or immediate help. With that said, Dr.Lewis would be an amazing Professor to take a full length course with. She gives great feedback on papers which help you build a great foundation towards an A.

Totally changed my world. Writing was always one of my weakest subjects until she showed me that it wasn't that hard to do. Also, she isn't "rude" or "mean" she's honest, and tells you exactly what to do, not out of stubbornness, but because she wants all to succeed. She gives you examples of each assignment, follow them, and an A or B will be easy

Get on her good side. If you actually pay attention and read her book that she wrote and write a good paper on her book, she will like you. If you barely come to class and give her teenage attitude, she will not take that well. She gives respect as she receives it.

Write the "Lewis Way" and you will have no problem getting an A in this class so long as you are flexible enough to assimilate. It might be a pain at first but you'll grow to know it as a group of very simple rules to follow. Her strict demeanor may be intimidating but if uncalled for she apologizes. Don't be scared, work WITH and not against = 100

Professor Lewis was a great professor but she's challenging. I've never gotten lower than an A in writing class in my life but she grades tough. Just follow instructions, show up to class, do the readings & go to office hours for help. She wants to help students succeed but can't help if you don't put in effort. Would definitely take her again!

Dr. Lewis was a great teacher, her syllabus was pretty intense, but she was very clear and concise about what she looked for and how the papers needed to be structured. Great class, the stories she chose were very real and thought provoking. Make sure to follow everything she says to the "T", and you will get along just fine with her.

I honestly don't know why people complain about her so much. People who rated her bad most likely dropped out within the first week and didn't get to know her well. She has an attitude I get it, but she will never disrespect you. Her class is not difficult, just follow her format (super easy) and you'll get a good grade. :) Good professor.

Course grade consists of 4 papers. She knows what she wants and how she wants it. She can come off as rude or arrogant, but all the times I've seen it its because students were being rude first. She is probably the most experienced English professor in the department. Be on time, follow the format, and listen to her instructions and you will pass.
