Nice Lady...baby steps you through the whole class.
A very nice professor, and very helpful she explains everything step by step...a wonderful professor
She's pretty cool. Goes over the essay's. Very easy to understand, but she gives homework for every class. But their not hard to do, short. Good teacher for int'l students.
she's a great professor. very easy class. she takes her time to explain exactly what she wants and how to do it. there was one essay test and the final was a 4 page research paper. i'd recommend her to anyone.
easy but too many b.s. in class hard grader u better off takign some one else dont take her!!!!!!
she is very hard i wouldn't reccomend anybody to take her. she is also a very hard grader she doesn't give a lot of A. she doesn't make class interesting at all boring class and boring essay. pleaseeeeeeeeee don't take her do yourself a FAVOR.
do yourself a favor don't take her. her class is boring she is boring and she doesn't know how to teach she is a beach in one word.
she is not such a good prof to take for english 110 she doesn't give much A. and she will screw your GPA. i wouldn't not recomend you to take he.
great professor, easy grader, provides an outline for the essay, easy A. don't have to work very hard. Explains everything clearly. Sometimes let u go early, but take lateness and absence into account. Overall a nice and easy professor. Will surely recommend her, especially to ESL students.
I, Joe, really enjoyed this class. She fascinates me with all her hottness. I would take her again... ANYTIME!
EXCELLENT !! ESPECIALLY FOR ESL STUDENT AND EASY GRADER .I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE HER AGAIN.NICE COOL AND CALM.
So so prof., a litte boring. Doesn't give lot A. Good for ESL student.I'll not take her class again. Not recommoned.
excellent prof! a special woman who cares about hey students. patient w/ students who are not strong in english. willing to help- take advantage of it. attendence and lateness count, but she's understanding. don't be turned off by the weird assignments- your writing will improve. also, class partiticaption and a good attitude are very important.
A really hot teacher. Most of her assignments are easy. All you have to do is to come to class and do your work. It will be an easy A.
great lady really cares about her students, will work with you if you need help. just show up and make an effort.
Be careful. She allows only one absence a semester. If you miss more than one class, she significantly lowers your grade no matter how hard you worked and how well you did over the semester. I don't think I learned a lot in this class. It is rather boring. She makes you write about your life and makes you read in front of the class.
Pretty strict with absences. If you are absent more than the times allowed you MUST speak with her. She gives homework each class but allows make ups. Her final is a research paper due the last day of class. Participate, attend class, try not to be late, do your homeworks and you'll be fine.
horrible teacher. i learned nothing
YOU will learn nothing, and she is not a easy grader. if you work your butt off, you might get a b b+ def dont expect and A. she is very strict about attendance you ll automatically fail after two absences !!! worst professor !!!
Great professor. Kind, patient, and helpful (good candidate for ESL students). Writing assignments were about interesting/fun topics and then we would read them in groups in class. Class was fun and much more like a discussion than a lecture, but it still taught a lot. Attendance is vital to keep your grade up, but I liked attending anyway.
Attendance is mandatory! she's very strict about this. The papers she assigns are easy and she lets you out early sometimes. Overall, its she's not that bad
She made the class easy, what do you expect from a writing intensive class?
She's so easy!!!! She tells you the format for each essay and how it should be written. I took her during the summer course. Easy Easy grader but you need to keep up with poems. She likes those who participates too. She gives cookies and snacks too. Highly recommended.
she is the best one i have ever had . i wish they were all like this .
She is such a sweet lady! She really helps you develop your writing skills and keeps class interesting. I definitely recommend her :)
Sweet lady , great in helping you with all the work she gives.. wish i could take her for all my english classes
Very very sweet lady. She is always willing to help you unlike other professors. She will make sure everyone understands her lesson. I seriously love this lady. I wish i could take her for other english classes too. Rate: BMS
This is the right class! She really helps you to prepare for college writings. 4-5 easy 2 page essays and one research paper and you are all set. She's very helpful and will give you feedbacks for your work. I am grand i took this class. She is the best!
One of the sweetest professors you could have! Very helpful and insightful in critiquing writing assignments and will answer any questions you have. Assignments aren't difficult even if you don't have a good imagination and aren't creative because she helps you with that too! Overall, short assignments and just one 4-5 pg essay at the end.
Professor Fenig is great. She has a great sense of humor and is always ready to help her students. She takes attendance, so make sure to come to class! She doesn't give too many writing assignments. She's the best 110 teacher!
Very sweet professor, attendance is a must because she checks, must put in some effort in order to do well!
She's such a nice and understanding professor. She takes attendance, so it's not good to be late or absent more than 2-3 times. You start off with really simple and easy writing assignments. She also gives extra credit, and if you follow her feedback, you'll get good grades on your papers.
I'm doing pretty well in the class, but she can be a bit tough. She calls out all the, and I quote, "non-native speakers" a lot. I bought both books she asked for and you can get by without them. Her class was pretty boring and was only bearable due to the amazing people in the class. Wouldn't recommend, enough said.
I don't know how come people say good thing about her! If you wants to ruin ur summer then go ahead and take her. Already done 8 assignments in this summer session And she is not satisfied yet. We have 3 classes left still in this 3 days she is giving 1 assignment 2 quiz 1 presentation and1 final! stay away from her she doesn't know how to teach.
I took this class over the summer. Get ready to write a paper almost every day and a research paper at the end of the course. She is super sweet and keeps you engaged in class. not an easy grader but not the worst. she works with you to improve your grade. Would take her class again
She's good but you can't miss class and she gave me a b++
Really good English 110 class, nice professor Gives a lot of chances for extra credit and gives outlines for the work so it's very clear Do not have to read any books just a couple of articles Some basic writting assignments
Took this writing intensive course over the 4 week summer session. 6 papers, 1 group assignment and an in class writing final. You have to participate. Cant be absent over the maximum allowed or it will affect your grade. Tells you what she is looking for. Allows for resubmission for better grade. Fair grader. Takes effort into consideration.
Very sweet woman, is clear on what she wants, grades fairly, she is always willing to help you whether at class or outside class.
A lot of writing but manageable, very nice and funny and sweet, she gives really good tips for writing, makes you a better writer by the end of the semester for sure! recommend her
She is such a nice professor. She tries to help her students a lot and replies to emails. Would love to take her again.
She's adorable. She literally gives you the terms for the quizzes, you write 3-4 essays, she allows for make-ups, and she's nice. Haha, if you get a chance for extra credit though, take them. I would definitely take her again!
Awesome Professor! I strongly recommend ESL student to take her class. she always pushes you to learn something. you'll be a good writer by the end of the semester. Lot of HomeWork but not heavy, 2 Extra Credit, Attendance is a must. I'm an ESL student got A-
Professor Fenig is a true gem. She is super sweet and caring. Very understanding and lenient about assignment deadlines. She is always there to help you. No exams, but there are about 4 assignments you have to do and then a research paper. She is really great. I love her so much. I would definitely take her again if I could.
Professor Fenig-Ducat is amazing. She is so sweet and such a gem in the English department. She genuinely cares for the students in her class and wants everyone to do well. Takes her time to grade assignments, gives good feedback, and revises each paper with every student. Overall a great teacher! There are no exams jus come to class and do work.
Professor Fenig is amazing. She is so sweet and compassionate and very understanding about assignment deadlines. Take her if you can! I would def take her again. Few easy papers and then a research paper. No tests. Participation matters. Overall, she is very easy to talk to and always willing to help. She genuinely cares for all of her students.
Professor Fenig is phenomenal. The absolute best. If you have her you're lucky because she is the sweetest woman! Gives very few papers in the beginning and then there is a research paper. She is always there to help you and is just amazing. A true gem in the English department. I would love to take her again, I love her so much!
I swear, you cannot find a professor sweeter than professor Fenig! She's the greatest, take her if you can! She really helps improve your writing and takes time to review each assignment with each student during class. She is so down to earth and has a great sense of humor! She has an amazing persona and has every students best interest at heart!
This professor is very underrated. Professor Ducat is so incredibly sweet and caring. She is always willing to help you and reviews every paper that you submit with you in class. She is truly amazing and I would love to take her again. I loved her and her class! She is very easy going and is easy to talk to. Definitely take her if you can!
She's pretty nice and she makes her lessons interesting. However, she actually reads through your essay and she's really strict in terms of grammar and punctuation. She gives extra credit so definitely do that if you need an extra boost. She never gives quiz's or tests but she does have a paper due almost every other class.
I don't understand why people do not like this professor. She is such a caring and kind human being. She is very understanding and is always there to help you. I loved professor Fenig and would def take her again! She is very passionate about what she teaches and makes the lessons very fun. She's great and a true gem, please take her if you can!
I personally loved Professor Fenig! She is so incredibly sweet and caring. She always helped me and answers to emails quickly. I was unsure of how to do a paper once, so I finished the draft a little early and asked her if she could check the paper and she took time out after class to review my entire paper! She is just the sweetest. I love her!
Bro this professor is the best! Professor Fenig is very knowledgable and one of the most caring professors I have had at Queens College thus far! She is so sweet and is always willing to help students. She checked a few of my papers and told me what to fix so I could get an A on them! I wish I could take her again. I love her and miss her class!

I am very shocked that professor Fenig does not have a 5/5 rating because she definitely deserves it! She was absolutely incredible and is the sweetest professor I have ever had.

I took this professor last semester and she's awesome!! She's an amazing english professor. Take her for english! There's no one better than her
Professor Fenig is so awesome! Such a down to earth and sweet professor. I loved her!
Great professor and helps you when you need it. The only down side is that this professor barely gives A's to students. This professor only gives A's to around three students per assignment. Also, very particular about tardiness.
Unless you use words like demagogue or pugnacious, she will not give you a good grade. The day starts off with her handing back homework with illegible comments and walking around to each student saying the mistakes we made even though we don't understand what we did wrong. We waste most our time doing group work and always have homework each day
There is only one topic we discuss in this class, Feminism. Unless you are a female, she will not admire you as much as she admires women. All the excellent ratings are from women on this page. She despises men and you will have a hard time writing papers unless you know and care about feminism. Please avoid at all cost. Males, take another class.
One of the besjt tichers in the world!! tajke!!! :) iNsPirationalll two!
Shes very sweet and a fair grader also makes assignments very clear to students.
amazing!! She knows how to interact with her classes to make it more enjoyable. She requires a txtbook but it wont effect you if you dont get it. She is a hard critic but helps you get better. The homework is short writing pieces and you'll go over them in class. There is one final research paper due at the end of the course 7-9pgs. deff recommend
I took her during a winter session so the work was really condensed. The semester was about 3 1/2 weeks long so each lecture covered a lot of material but it was somehow still manageable. She gives time in class to outline each section of the papers so there's not a lot to be done at home.
She is one of the best professor in my entire life. Very very helpful and generous. In a word, she is beyond the best.
She was one of my best professor in my entire life. She was very helpful and generous.
prof fenig is super sweet and an amazing teacher. she cares a lot about her students and genuinely wants them to take away something from her class. she always keeps you updated on how you're doing throughout the semester and states what she expects from you clearly. she grades based off individual effort so it is impossible to do poorly
For anyone that is religious and cares about their religion don't take this class. Most of the poems she did spoke about different gods and different religions and could put bad thoughts into a person. Also, she gives unclear guidance for essays and homework but is an easy grader, and use big words in your papers, it'll boost your grade.
I took this as a summer class. She is really amazing. So nice and helpful. Gave 3 easy essays with clear instructions on how to write them. Her lectures are very long and a little boring but her class is so worth it. Take her, trust me!!!!
Professor Fenig is so sweet! She is always willing to help and genuinely cares about her students. I would def recommend taking her, you won't regret it!
For eng 130 you will have about 10 reading responses about 150-200 words each (20 percent of your grade), and 3 essays to do throughout the semester. First essay is 3-4 pages, second is 5-6 pages and the final is 7-9 pages. This class does get into gender discrimination/womens rights a lot so if your sensitive dont take. But she is very caring.
Professor Fenig is so sweet! She's always willing to help her students. She would give me pointers on how to make my papers more stronger. She was always there when I needed help. She's fantastic. I highly recommend her!
Amazing professor, I recommend her for anyone taking English
WORST ENGLISH PROFESSOR EVER! do not take!! I don't know how she has good ratings and others that took the class were surprised as well! For an English 130 class she grades us as if though we are in an English 700 class. She clings onto every word in a sentence you write and does not fair nicely. Toughest grader ever and gives the hardest essays.
Grades us as if though were in engl 700. She is the toughest grader ever and stops at every word of a sentence. She constantly makes sexist remarks towards men by once even saying that "all men" don't take females seriously. Rude and harsh. Seems nice but is a nightmare. DON'T TAKE!
Professor Beverly Fenig-Ducat is nice professor, but please don't take this class if you wanna get an A easily, she is extremely tough grader and grades like as though we are in some phd level english course. And she is very boring too, she just wants you to read on your own, which makes class dead silent.
