She is a very nice person but a boring teacher. You really have to force yourself to attend this class. No one speaks and alot of the classes seem to be a waste of time.

For the sake of your sanity and peace of mind DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. You need to submit detailed essays EVERY WEEK and you always have to read long pieces of work. Initially when I read the reviews I felt it won't be that bad. IT WAS THAT BAD. If you work I highly doubt you can keep up. She is very very unkind.

As a returning student, taking this for an elective credit I have never regretted my life choice more. She's a snob and is generally arrogant and unkind to her students. She looks for the worst in her students and god forbid you are articulate and smart. Not a class I would recommend from this professor. She needs to teach about women!

I liked this class but it's HARD. Don't take this class if you're looking for an easy A. The readings are difficult at the beginning b/c it's older stuff. She grades really hard -no room for error. I'm studying ENG and felt like this class was a good challenge, but if ENG isn't your major & you're not up for a challenge DON'T TAKE! textbook is free

Your papers and discussions will be graded with a fine-tooth, pedantic comb. Do not, I REPEAT, DO NOT take this professor if you are simply filling a degree requirement. You will work way harder than you have to in other classes, in a class where an A on a major assignment is a pipe dream. You've been warned.

She is unnecessarily critical and arrogant. She will type paragraphs detailing how dumb you are, simply over a class discussion that is only needed for attendance and not even for a grade. British literature is already hard enough as a class considering the time period these writings are from, but she wants you to read 100 pages the first week.

Professor Betty Proctor is a tough grader and she does NOT play about plagiarism. Her class involves a lot of reading, but the reading material is sourced in the syllabus, so try to get ahead as much as possible or you will drown. She is definitely a tough grader, so do not plagiarize or you will fail.

I absolutely loved taking 1302 from Ms. Proctor. She's one of the best professors at HCC! I got a C on my first paper, and she worked with me, told me how to improve. It meant a lot that I got an A on the research paper. She talked with me in her office hours. It's great too that the textbook is online and didn't cost anything.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFFESSOR! We read 4 books and a test EVERYDAY, 200 - 600 pages. Test was a total of 20 questionswith 1-4 essay questions. There's an essay or 2 due every week on top of the readings and essays already included in your test. There's no rubic so you have no idea what you are graded on, and she does not lecture or teach anything.

I've never had to work so hard for an A. The assignments are straightforward to follow. Here's the catch, she's a tough grader. It felt like the content of my writing didn't matter as much as my punctuation. Get Grammarly, and follow her examples of citations to a T. Did a 5-week course, we had an essay and discussion due weekly. Textbook is free.

This professor did not only heavily rely on TurnItIn on EVERYTHING, it felt like she barely read the papers. When she did read our papers she would NEVER give above an 80 unless you write a Harvard-approved A+ miracle paper that you spent decades on writing just for her to give you an 85, then she would say that you didn't add enough quotes.

She makes you read these extremely long poems and grades very strictly on discussions. The quizzes ask questions that are too specific and often have answer choices that don't make sense. Do not take this class at all if you want to have an A in the class. Not a good professor and doesn't help you in any way and super stingy with what she wants.

I do not recommend taking this Professor because she reads off of power points, which wastes time when you could be doing that at home. She talks non-stop during the whole class period and does not like interruption from students. She is a tough grader and you need to know how to properly write a good essay before you register her class.

By far the worst professor I've had so far. School hasn't even been in for a week and I had to drop this class and replace it with another one. I had issues with my classes and fasfa the first day of class so I was unable to attend because I had to make a whole new schedule and enroll into new classes. She was inconsiderate and careless.

she is so boring It kind of makes me sad. every assignment was a writing assignment , so if you are not a good writer DO NOT take this class .Im decent but will admit she's a hard grader and nitpicks a lot. Her lectures are also irrelevant, and you can probably do decent without attending a single class.

Dr.Proctor is very specific about what she wants on a paper, yet she's very vague when communicating it. Her grading doesn't make sense. She prioritizes Italics and grammar, over the actual content of a paper, or the depth of your analysis.

If you actually care about your GPA I do not recommend taking her class. She is an unnecessarily hard grader and deducts points off of papers for the most frivolous things. She purposely makes the assignments that she wants us to complete extremely harder than they have to be and she heavily uses AI to grade.
