Ms. Adams is hard but loves what she does and wants to have a positive influence on her students. Lots of writing in-depth papers!!! Read and partitpate in class discussions or you will fail!
I hated this class/professor. Felt like no matter how hard i tried still wasn't good enough. Don't ask about grade. she'll tell you to figre it out yourself. she can't tell until the end of the semester. make sure you're clear on what every grade is if you take this class. I don't reccomend you do.
I have had her for 3 english classes and she is the best teacher. She was my first professor when i started in summer of 04. She is very helpful and nice.
Ms. Adams is the worst teacher known to humanity. She is the toughest teacher and she makes sure that you fail her class. I do not recommend her as a teacher. If i had an option to take her class or die. then i would rather choose death!!!!!!!!!
People who work and participate do really well in Adams' class. She's fun, challenging, and ...so don't take her if you're an idiot (like whoever that was who rated Adams just before me.) College isn't supposed to be easy, people.
Tough class. Wants everything explained directly, and is not helpful in helping students understand what she wants in paper. Anything in papers worded creativly is awkward to her.
Adams is tough but you'll learn a lot. Overall I felt that the class was well taught, and I really feel I learned so much from the variety of teaching tactics. Adams was a good teacher and so helpful. I really enjoyed this class.

Great teacher, willing to go beyond the class to help you. Doesn't like just the same old same old.

SHE IS A VERY HARD TEACHER. SHE EXPECTS YOU TO KNOW HOW TO ANALYZE BEFORE YOU BEGIN HER CLASS AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW, SHE WILL SIMPLY TELL YOU TO LOOK IT UP.

the woman is on a power trip. she seems like she would be cool. i have taken quite a few english classes here (4) and have always done well. i made a d in her class. she grades papers so hard. do not take her. she acts like this is your only class.
This lady is out of her mind! I have always done well in English until I took her class!Her expectations are extremly high and she is not helpful This is by far the hardest and most ridiculous class I have ever had! Do NOT take her.
Gave me a 0 for a midterm that I came to class and wrote! Did not appear open to questions or seem willing to give help. Working hard in her class does not pay off! I wish I could warn everybody about her class...run far away!!
She is a good teacher but some find her overly difficult. She offers a lot of constructive critisism on papers. If you are looking to improve your writing then take her class. If you are looking for an easy A don't. With lots of work you learn a lot. She is willing to help.
This teacher is very mean. She is not understanding at all. She acts like a higschool teacher,any passing of notes will be reprimanded. She says go to the writing center for help. They dont know what her assignments are asking either. Her comments on papers only say, "But How" as if we are supposed to know what the author thinks. Stay far far away!
very hard on compsitions
Great teacher!! She is willing to help you if you are willing to help yourself! If you are not willing to invest your time into the class you will not pass. But, if you are willing to work (you know, do the college stuff) and ask for help when you need it she is willing to help you. GREAT JOB B. ADAMS. I wish every teacher was like you.
She doesn't really care about or what you have to say. She just gives you the assignment and goes from there. I really hated going to that class and she always gives bad grades even when other teachers (in the writing center) says they are really good papers. I did all my work and still made a D. She doesn't care about the students AT ALL!
she is freaking weird!!! This class was horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ms Adams is a bad professor, she does not help if you need her. She likes to pick on the student's if they make mistakes.
I think Prof Adams is an excellent teacher. Yeah, shes tough, but that doesn't mean she sucks. Even though she and I probably disagree about some major stuff (politically, etc) she will set that aside and have integrity in grading and in the classroom. She will help you whenever you ask and she really is all about improving the students.

Ms. Adams is an excellent teacher! Beware if you aren't willing to put forth the effort to make a good grade in her class. If you don't try, you will fail horribly, and it will be all your fault. Her class is always enjoyable, and she helps anyone who is willing to help himself. Also, Ms. Adams is witty and never fails to put a smile on my face. :)
Awesome teacher! Didn´t take any crap from the dumb students. I learned a lot!
Very helpful, nice teacher. She's tough. Don't expect an easy A, or even a passing grade if you suck or don't do the assignments, but she is fair and will allow rewrites of papers for 1/3 more credit and isn't so strict about attendance after the withdrawal date (but don't push her...). Also probably the sexiest teacher at West Georgia.
Ms. Adams is a wonderful teacher. She may be hard on the whiny little freshmen, but how else can they learn. Get her for Brit Lit and you will love her. Besides that, she is incredibly hot in her jeans on Fridays!
Horrible horrible horrible teacher. She told me that I could not even pass her class. She is not willing to put forth her time to even try to help you. Trust me, if you take this class, she will not pass you. I went to the writting center numberous times and she thought I was lying to her. DO NOT TAKE HER
Very into her material. Interaction is of the utmost of importance. If you don't read then you will fail the quizzes and class will be terribly boring.
She is a great teacher, and very easy to understand. Essay topics are sometimes hard to write on, but overall she is good teacher who is confident in her lectures.
Mrs.Adams grading and teaching strategies are extremely unclear and unfair.
alright
Great teacher. Helpful if you ask. Tough on attendance.
I thought she made the class very interesting, however she is very unfair with her grading!! I did everything she asked and Came to class everyday! Don't take this class unless you have a degree in writing!
i took her for British Literature sring 2008, she's a sweet lady, but she's really into lectures and she really sticks to the book, you need to read it! one thing i didn't like is that she never stuck to the syllabus and some of the things she lectured on were off topic. Shes also tough on grading if you pick her good luck it's a challenge
* She starts of with short stories and get into novels. *The quizzes are extremely easy if you've read the materials. *Come to class a lot of the analysis in your papers will come from the lectures.*Take good notes, she writes on the board. *Do the pre-writings so you can get feedback. *She allows for revisions on papers. *You must put in effort.
She's really nice and her discussions are always interesting, but she goes strictly by MLA guidelines and the reader's resource book, but if you turn in your pre-writing early she really helps you out...I went from a whole letter grade of improvement because she basically tells you what you need to say in the feedback
fun teacher, she's cool, good about essays if your try and mind her corrections. and she's pretty hot, I'd def do her
When it comes to writing papers she grades them extremely hard. Takes off for the smallest things. When it comes to help she says go to writing center.
Took Adams for Brit Lit; she's nice and know what she is talking about. Very interesting, easy assignments and fair grading. Midterms and finals are super easy, straight from the class notes. Absolutely wonderful professor, definently take her.
Shes really easy to understand and really puts things into perspective, essays are fair, tests mainly from notes off board, have to go to class, but its easy to sit through, definitly reccommend
She is not willing to help you on your essays. She will only tell you to drop the class.
nice person, VERY HARD GRADER
OK teacher...harsh grader easy to relate with but not affraid to fail you. good person bad teacher. Doesnt like to help. In her office she will help you but it wont show on your next paper because she will find any excuse to mark up your paper.
Ineresting discussions, not many essays and very helpful.
Although a nice person, she is not a good teacher. She is very harsh on grading and the revisions she allows does not help at all. When you see her for help she either tells you to see a fellow classmate or go to the writing center.
She is very hard on her grading. I failed my first paper after I went to the writing center 3 times and asked other professors for corrections. WOULD NOT TAKE HER.
All the people saying that she was a hard grader or a hard teacher, obviously doesn't know how to do their work. Even when I messed up on a few grammar things in papers, I got an A. As long as she sees your efforts,you'll do great!! I loved her & would take her again! Shes funny & down to earth & class is actually fun! :)
The best teacher I have ever had. I would take her again, no question about it. She is tough and has high standards, but is more than willing to help you in any way possible. Gives a lot of useful feedback and is very encouraging. If you don't want to work, don't take her class, but if you're actually there to learn, she's the best.
Hmmm....
I've been lucky enough to sit in four different classes instructed by Professor Adams and I wish I could take more of her classes! She is an awesome instructor and truly great at what she does! Show up, do the work, and don't let your phone go off, you'll be good!
I actually had her for both ENGL 1101 and 1102 but had to medically withdraw from 1102. She was very helpful and understanding of my medical problems and wanted to help me do what needed to be done for me to pass the class. I highly recommend her.
completely totally unhelpful, not very nice, doesnt really care to hear what i have to say and makes faces when i ask her questions. she sucks
My favortie English teacher EVER!! She is truely amazing and has made me love English! She is very helpful on the papers. Yes she grades them fairly strictly but she tells you in great detail what she expects! She lets you send it a pre writing early for feedback. It's very helpful! Just pat attention and do what she says and you'll be just fine!!
I had her for multiple classes and she is AWESOME. She explains everything CRYSTAL clear the first few days and as long as you follow the ENGLISH DEPT guidelines, getting an A in the class is easy as pie. Also, it helps that she's incredibly funny and beautiful.
Not an easy class.. I had her for women's lit and it was an average to hard class. The way that she wanted to class to write papers is completely different than what I was taught in 1101 and 1102. After failing the first paper, I adapted to her writing style and passed the class with a high C. Can only miss 3 days and tardies count as 1/2 absence.
Not sympathetic to students who put in the most effort. Not very helpful and grades very hard. I suggest not to take her.!
Worst Teacher Everrrr! I have always been good in English and made A's. This class I am currently failing! She has no sympathy for anyone. I have even emailed her several times and meet with her in the writing center, only to fail the paper. This is the class from HELL!! :)
this class has four papers, and 1 in-class essay. She isnt really hard.but Its not an easy class but the other people must be retarted because she lets you take the highest of you in-class essay and you dont even have to take the last one if you did good on the first 1 & she talks about all the books,u jus have to pay attention & there is ur paper.
OK, idk what the people under me are talking about. the class isnt hard just pay attention. She talks about the books she practically tells you what to write about! and unlike other classes she allows you to take the highest inclass essay! you have 4 papers and an in-class essay she is a great teacher and if you pay attention your fine
She is a nice teacher but her grading is extremely hard. I paid attention and attended every class and still failed I do not recommended taking her if your not a stronger writer. I thought I was but obviously not. Don't Take Her!!
I did not really need this course and after the first paper I DEFINITELY wanted to drop it... however I couldn't so I stuck it through. She is a very very VERY hard grader... She is super nice but super tough! AND DON'T BE LATE... EVER!!!!!! You best be an English major and ready for toughness if you're going to take this course.
I attended every class, went to tutors, read every book, became friends with her, enjoyed everything we did in class, and got a C. She's amazing, but hard.
If you are an English major, please do not take Adams for British Literature. that is all:)
Great teacher. Come to class and write down what she puts on the board. You can write your entire paper from what she puts on the board. Longest paper we write is 5 pages. Very helpful. Very nice. Lets you out of class early a lot.
Great teacher! very helpful explains everything very well. best lit teacher I've had
She grades unfairly, most of the time she just mumbles on and on in class. Her essay topics are what you read in the class. She does not give you enough time to do the essay.
She is an amazing teacher and is very very helpful. Everything she puts on the board write it down-the papers come straight from there. However unless you are an english major I would not recommend her, she grades very hard and will tear your paper apart. Be careful.
In 3 years at being at UWG I have never felt compelled to use this site. Well now I do. I would not recommend Mrs. Adams; her lectures are boring, while it may just be the content, her teaching style is lacking as well. All she does is put a ridiculous amount of notes up, never even trying to actively engage her students in what they are learning
Mrs. Adams while friendly offers no constructive criticism. She belittles through her comments on papers and is condescending. She will fail papers on MLA formatting alone. I am an English major and everything she has taught me is contradictory to what I have learned in my upper level classes. MRS. ADAMS IT IS AN INTRO CLASS, SERIOUSLY.
She has a good personality but not willing to help. Grades harshly. I can't speak for 1101, 1102, but I would NOT recommend her for 2120 (British Lit.)
She doesn't enjoy teaching from what I can tell. Is rude and doesn't help. She needs to reevaluate the way she approaches teaching and her students.
It is an intro class! She must think of herself very highly to grade the way she does for an English class which is open to ALL majors! DO NOT take her, there are many other professors at UWG which are helpful and actually CARE about their students and the responsibilities of being an educator!
Do NOT take her for Brit Lit. She is very nice but she grades extremely harshly. If you are an English major then by all means take her, but if not then I would recommend taking someone else.
Dr. Adams is extremely helpful if you attend office hours. She is very difficult but with dedication and visits to the writing center you will do fine in the class.
Professor Adams is a very challenging 1101 professor. I worked my butt off for a C and devoted 99% of my semester to this class. Grading guidelines do not seem to follow that of the other English 1101 Professors but more upper level. English Majors? This class will challenge your intellect. If you're just trying to get an A switch out immediately!
Dr. Adams is an incredible professor.
This class is the hardest clas I have ever taken. I give all of my time to this class and yet still receive all C's even by going to the writing center and turning in my prewrite early. I do NOT recommend her. It seems she grades way harder than any other english professors.Her classes suck and do not help with these essays.Save your grade and time
I took Professor Adams for both 1101 and 1102 and she was a GREAT professor. She is very helpful and as long as you do the readings she asks for and show up for class you will do fine! She is wonderful!
Adams is great. Anyone who says otherwise is just a bad writer. It's not her fault you don't know how to write. She will help you, but ultimately it's your work that gets the grade.
Do not take this teacher. Grades based off her own guideline more so than dept guide. Visited writing center many times on first paper and what they considered an A (multiple teachers) I got a C. Does not help with comments on papers and subjective grading. Grades way to strict and counts off way too much for minor mistakes vs looking at main point
Professor Adams is a nice woman overall, but she seems to grade based on her own rubric. The class felt like a middle- or high school-level class, which made it boring. However, she is willing to help you when you ask for it.
She is a descent teacher and very knowledgeable about her field of study. However, her class is VERY boring and all you do is take notes the entire time. She is also a pretty tough grader, but overall I would say a mediocre class. I have nothing negative against her, she does want students to succeed, but it is a limited few who actually will.
Adams is one of the best professors I had at West Georgia. She is kind of tough, but if you ask for help or go to her in the writing center she will do everything to help you get an A. She pretty much gives you what to write on in class and she is super nice
Took Adams for 1102. Nice person, horrible teacher. She's very knowledgeable in English but grades extremely hard. I wouldn't recommend this class to anyone who cares for their GPA.
Her women's lit class was very interesting and she was reasonable in her expectations. Her "toughness" is reasonable for the course level--others may be easier or harder. But her class is interesting and she seems to value student opinion, but not to the point where it is only class discussion. I would definitely recommend her.
She is a great teacher! Explains everything down to the T. She grades according the rubric though. Extremely available 24/7
Super super easy! Great teacher, loved her class! Pay attention in class and show up, if you follow what she teaches & do the work, you should at least make a B. Ask questions if you have any. Overall, a great teacher!
She's an extremely tough grader. Expects you to devote your whole life to her papers. She'll tell you what she wants on a paper in class, but when grading, she takes off points for minor errors, and can fail your paper just based on mla. Take another professor if you know what's good for you.
Was very inconsistent, she skipped class every week, so beware of learning absolutely Nothing throughout the semester. She seemed too busy for her students, so this could be good or BAD for you. Either way, she was barely there throughout the semester.
She is the best English professor at UWG. Take her for 1101 & 1102. She's going to cancel every class but she's a great professor.
OMG I LOVE HER!! SHE'S THE BEST! She will help you and she explains everything very well. TAKE HER!
She is a knowledgeable and caring teacher who gives great lectures/notes. But I would not take her again because she constantly cancelled class, for legit reasons but still annoying. We missed 1/3 the semester and had no syllabus or schedule for 1/2 the class. Would take again because she's easy but this was beyond frustrating.
Professor Jett is a great professor and seems to know her stuff. She gives great feedback on your draft so it is really easy to get a really good grade on your essay because she tells you what to fix. Grade is dependant on attendance so make sure you show up.
Contract grading so its an easy A. Basically just do the work and youll make a good grade. Shes very nice and understanding if you miss an assignment. Cancels class a lot
Dual-enrolled with her my senior year of HS for 1101 after Payne failed me my soph. year. I made an A on every paper, and overall a perfect 100 in the class. She does her best to make the material interesting and doesnt expect you to just KNOW what she's saying. Show up, play on your phone, tune in here and there, and you have a great time + grade.
Professor Adams was the most helpful and kind professor I've encountered so far in my education. She made sure to give clear feedback with every assignment, has very lenient with due dates, and is more than understanding when a student is doing well in class. She responds/grades quickly and the work we do helps in our careers, regardless of major.
It is so evident this professor cares about her students. She is so kind and offers as much help to her students as she can. She gives great feedback on essays. The workload is not too heavy at all. I would take this class again if I could.
Professor Jett is one of the most caring and understanding teachers out there. She listens to students feedback and applies them to the course. She provides feedback on all your assignments so you're not left feeling lost. Attendance does matter but she is lenient with the,. Wonderful professor wish I could take her again.
