She was a horrible teacher who teaches weird topics and grades really hard on essays. So no matter how hard you write, you are less appreciated. She tries to talk like young people so she could communicate with students, but she fails miserably and does not seem to know that her jokes are lame.

An very intelligent woman who expects that if you take a class that you will participate and make an effort to do your best. Fair/easy grades on essays - although she expects solid basic literary analysis (take ENG102 first if this is a weak area for you, whether you take Blythe or not). Class is tons of fun, and the discussions hilarious.

Insulting. She talks down to the class (insinuating all FC students are underachievers), and her jokes through out the entire lectures are WAY too played up. I tried to ignore it, but she's so loud and obnoxious that I couldn't concentrate on the lecture and learning. I'd rather have a formal prof., not one that tries to be "cool" with the kids.

She is an amazing teacher, she makes you want to attend her classes. She is a very unorthodox teacher in the sense that she has a tendency to go off into wild (yet funny) tangents.
