This teacher is incompetent at best. She will assign reading, but shows a lack of comprehension of the topic herself.

I took her online class, and she was slow and sometimes unresponsive to email. She does not return comments or mark-ups of submitted papers.

Unhelpful; shows no leniency; inconsiderate; shows no understanding; no matter how hard you work on a paper. You can pass DB.

She is very straight forward. I took her 6 week class online for summer A and for someone who does not like English class, this was my professor. 1 essay, 1 research paper, 3 short stories and responses, 3 assignments. On both paper she paves the way on what to do for an A. If you can handle being independent, this is your professor too.

She's a good teacher to take if you need to take a English Comp class. As long as your papers are written properly, and you read the required assignments, you should not have a problem passing her class.

Dr. Ronson is the bees knees. Very straightforward. Easily accessible by email. Three discussions, three assignments and two papers. Be sure to follow her essay rubric to a tee and you will be fine. Recommend her 100%. She is very strict on late assignments so dont forget to turn in your stuff.

I took her short class in the summer and it was okay. I found the instructions to the essays very broad, and when I asked her for more clarification, she simply just restated what the directions said. She also did not give much feedback but as long as you put the effort in, you will do well. Just make sure to check your work twice before submitting

The worst online class I've ever had. The teachers create their own syllabus, which should not be allowed, because of people like her. Essays were 1k and 2k. The material was not interesting but extremely creepy. Everything was about scary horror stories. Demonic voodoo type stories. example The Monkeys Paw, The Boarded Window. AVOID THIS CLASS

Dr. Ronson is an oustanding professor, but don't think you can get an A without doing the work. There are two papers; one is 1,500 words and the other is 2,500 words. Other than that, that was it; no homework or quizzes/tests. Attendance does count towards your grade as well.

Unreasonable expectations. Tough grader. The worst reading material. Purchased the book and never used it. Fail one assignment she'll say withdraw from the class. But don't withdraw, just do your best. The worst ENC teacher I've ever had. No late assignment. No extra credit. Assignments are locked until week of due date. Avoid this class

Dr. Ronsons class was very easy and to the point if youre not one to procrastinate. The reading/grammar assignments take maybe 15 minutes to complete and theres not many. The one other thing youre graded on is 2 papers. If you start ahead of time and work on a little bit of the paper each week its almost impossible to not get an A.

The professor was good, the course overall not bad at all ,short and sweet, you get two papers the whole entire semester,no final exam ,and attendance is an easy A. If you follow the criteria for the essays youll be fine although she is a tough grader ,she doesnt give many assignments. Literally only two. Id recommend her and Id retake her.

I went from having a B the whole semester to an F after she gave me a zero on my final essay. She did not really explain why other than saying I plagiarized. I asked her to show me where and then she said that was not the only reason. I never experienced a teacher like her and she is not very helpful. I would not recommended her at all.

I took this online for dual enrollment and I was surprised on how little work i had to do. There were only 2 essays and no final. She doesnt give the best feedback on the essays, but she lays out everything the essay should include in sections and basically gives a walkthrough of the essay. Easy to get an A, just dont procrastinate!!

Overall a very difficult and non communicative. She gave me a 70 on a paper that I worked really hard on, which in comparison to the mean (43%) grade ,really isnt that bad. It bright my high A to a low B in one day, and when U asked for feedback she wasnt very clear. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH YOUR ESSAYS AS THEY TAKE UP A LOT OF YOUR GRADE! WATCH OUT!

There are very few assignments which I believe to be a major plus. All of the assignments are easy, and it is almost hard not to get an A/B. She does have a no late work policy, but honestly you can knock out almost all of the assignments but the essays in a night. There is only one assignment a week!

Very great professor that makes you not hate school! Super easy work and very few work to get done. Maybe like one assignment a week and then write a paper at the end of the semester. You would have to do literally nothing to fail. I would HIGHLY encourage anyone to take this course as it's not stressful and super easy to get an A.

Professor Ronson's class was the easiest I've ever taken. The only grades came from short discussion boards and one 6-page paper due at end of semester --no tests at all! I had to retake ENC, and this class was by far the best choice, especially for someone working full time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a low-stress English course.

ENC 1101 and ENC 1102, if you're looking for a class with a minimal amount of assignments, this is the class for you. Theres about one assignment and a discussion board per module, and one essay at the end of the course, the Professor Ronson gives instructions very clearly, and easy to read, and grades very fairly. no textbook fees.
