Awesome teacher. Best English teacher I've ever had, and I went on to be an English major!
great teacher. she loves what she does and it shows. she is a bit of a hard grader but it is well worth the effort.
She was really cool, the readings she gave in the beginning were really boring, but she's really fair. The class is pretty much read, discuss in class, essays.
Fantastic teacher. it makes your english improve if you are willing to challenge your thinking and hard working. encourogeous, organized, open minded, fair, attractive, clever, awsome. thank you, prof bryan
She was funny but her class was a bit difficult if you didn't do all the work. She also gives in-class quizzes on the readings. She's also a tough grader.
Very tough on grading. Doesn't give clear explanation on why she gives you a certain grade. Something like only 50% got higher than a D on the research paper she assigns.
shes one of the best english teachers ve had. awesome lady and really funny. very sarcastic personality but awesome. theres some work but not too hard to stay on top of. the reading is interesting
she's an awesome teacher but harsh grader..
Her class was difficult, but I learned so much. Definitely easy to get behind so go to the classes!!
Prof. Bryan is awesome! Like others have said she is a bit of a hard grader but its well worth the effort put into her class!!
this lady is killa. just do the reading and go to class and you'll be money.
She is awesome... i would say the hard work is worth it in her class... stay on top of work, go to class and go to office hours oh and do the JOURNALS!... I really learned a lot and feel like she prepared me for classes ahead of me... I have found that my writing dramatically improved after her class...
she is such an awesome teacher! she is very thourough. and if you ever need help she'll always do what she can to help you and make time for you. she really makes you think on a diffrent perspective and she is sarcastic ehich is awesome.
No Comments
Her class is really good for students who want to be involved in literature. Also, she is so cute! BUT you have to study hard to get A.
lover her!! she is soo nice and sooo funny.. do ALL the journals and make SURE to READ!!!! she WILL quiz.. but theyre sooo easy if you read it will be no biggy. she is very helpful.. if you have a problem talk to her. and you will learn so much about writing, and if you dont pass 120.. something is wrong. its SOO EASY!! read the book!!
prof bryan's awesome! just participate in class, do the journals (which are super easy)and you'll be good. it's a good class to have if you struggle with writing because she's a tough grader, but allows for the resources to improve in class and at office hours. she lets you know what she expects and teachers with modern attitude and humor.love her!
GREAT TEACHER. YOU NEED TO TAKE HER CLASS!!
Prof. Bryan is really hot and a really good teacher. However, if you're like me and you hate english and this is the last english class you ever have to take and you don't care about learning this stuff, I don't recomend the class. Lots of work, lots of reading, and she grades pretty hard on the essays.
She is just sucks. I highly recommeds everyone not to take her class!!
BB is a sweetheart and a great teacher. You can really tell she loves what she does and wants to help her students as much as she can. She is always easy to get a hold of either email or office hours. The last person who posted can't even spell correctly, who you gonna believe? And she's easy on the eyes too!!
Honestly, I hated english before I took Prof. Bryan's class. She doesn't grade harshly if you are willing to put forth effort and want to learn. I found the readings thought-provoking and the discussions entertaining. Prof. Bryan is extremely sarcastic and witty, she's also very clear, thorough and intellegent. I highly recommend this class!
I took her honors class and I got an A and I hate reading. Basically, she is a very good person in general, a good teacher, very fair, very smart, understanding, and cares about her students. If I enjoyed english I would definitely take every class of hers. She is somewhat of a hard grader, but again, I was in the honors class.
Awesome teacher. Ms. Bryan is very fair and a great teacher.
Great English teacher. Helpful, outlines expectations and grading policies. She is sarcastic and leads good class discussion. I would definitely recommend her class if you need to take English. If you do the work you'll most likely get an A or B.
Amazing teacher! Best I've had since coming to city college. She's sarcastic, witty, and hilarious. Spends a lot of the class laughing at herself. She's also extremely understanding. She gives a fair amount of homework, but she's still a teacher and makes the class fun to go to.
Ms. Bryan is a great teacher, very helpful, enthusiatic, nice. its not that she grades hard, its that she grades fairly. if you participate and are committed, you will probably get above a c. Additionally, she is quite charming and rather good-looking.
she is so awesome. you use your text book a lot but she helps people improve their writing significantly. really nice but dont turn work in late. very chill
Love her! I had her for a three hour block on Fridays and she is just so energetic it's like I could feed off of it and stay awake easily. Overall best professor I have ever had!
Great professor?just be prepared to work hard. Don?t turn in assignments late and visit her during office hours when in doubt or when you want feedback, especially before turning in an essay. She?s very friendly and a fair grader. Unfortunately, her assigned novel is awful.
Very helpful teacher. seems to care that students understand and learn. will help a student with their essay or give advice as it relates to the class during her office hours. really enjoyed her class. not an easy class. have to do all the work and readings. not an impossible class either. i wish more professors were like bryan
i love Bonny! definitely one of the best teachers in general i have ever had not to mention specifically in english. great energy, funny, keeps class interesting. highly recommend her! attending is motivation within itself for her class.
A+++ Bonnie Bryan is one of the best professors! I was so inspired by her English 110 class that I decided to continue under her instruction for English 111. At all costs, GET INTO HER CLASS! She will inspire you like no other? and the comment of Professor Bryan laughing at herself is true (it is really cute)!!!
OMG! My favorite instructor of all time!!! You will surely love her. She is nice, smart, funny, and she explains things if you get cinfused. Take her class!!! She not only makes the readings interesting, but she brings up topics you never would have thought of to begin with. She is a professor to remember!
Prof. Bryan is amazing! Dont pay attention to people who hate on her. She is so funny, always brings up hilarious stories. Def one of those teachers who makes going to class fun. You get out of class significantly early almost every time. Just keep up with the reading and your bound to do great. She treats students as adults and always offers help
She is a hard grader, but really cares about her students. She has a witty and sarcastic attitude. You learn to really enjoy English. she makes it fun with her life stories. But be warned, you really have to do the work to get a good grade!!
she's great. The grading is tough. You're golden if you do the work.
She is an awesome teacher and fair grader. Just ask for help and you'll get it. I did and before the final exam I had a 100.7% in the class. She's such a nice caring person too. TAKE HER!!!
Professor Bryan was a GREAT teacher. i loved her enthusiasm and spirit in the class. I enjoyed most of the material, but she always made it worth being in class. The assignments weren't too easy but not too hard either. on the papers, if you get a meeting with her, there is no way that you will get anything less than a B if you follow her instru
Bonny is the most AMAZING english teacher i've EVER had!!! she is hilarious, kind, and has a very encouraging personality. her assignments are fun, interesting, and very enjoyable! i feel like my writing has improved immensely from taking her class. TAKE HER CLASS!!!!!! it changed my life! A++++++++++ if i could give her a grade.
I took her class that was 3 hours once a week and it was pretty simple to me. Read the stories, process them and respond. Not that difficult if you do the work and show up. She gets a bit annoying at times, but the fact that she is kinda hot it is ok.
WOW WOW WOW. She is the best teacher at city college. I absolutely loved her! We got along so well and she is very personable. I got a super high A for simply doing all my work. There's weekly journals and quite a bit of stories to read, but she's just so cute and fun that going to her class is something you WILL look forward to. I promise!!!
Bonny Bryan converts one into passionate writers.
Very interesting and entertaining class
by far the best english teacher i have ever had. she wants everyone to do well and as long as your willing to work, you will learn heaps and also enjoy yourself.
Super helpful teacher, decently hard grader but if you put the effort in its an easy A. Lots of reading but lets you rewrite your essays for a better grade. Made me love english.
Great teacher! Makes literature interesting and has great assignments! Very sarcastic and witty, one of the best english teachers I have had. Also gives you feedback on all your work.
Before this class, I dreaded english... for all of my life. My attitude has completely changed and she made me actually semi-enjoy writing a paper, which are words that I never thought I would say. Take this class!
I took her online 110 class and it was pretty easy and straightforward but she takes FOREVER to respond to emails - like a week! Really not acceptable for an online class.
I took Ms. Bryan after almost 10 years without an English class and I found her course to be both enlightening and interesting. I feel I became a much stronger writer after her course and thoroughly enjoyed my semester with her. Assignments are challenging but she gives you plenty of opportunity to improve upon them. Definitely recommend this professor! She helps you love English and writing again.
Best English teacher I've had in a loong time! she is very easy grader too! She is also fun and sarcastic making class enjoyable. Read a lot of interesting poems, short stories and a novel during the semester. She gives great feedback! only had 4 papers to write, 2 for HW and 2 in class. Also had reading journals, fairly easy. Take her she's great!
Great Teacher! Tells you exactly how the assignment needs to be done. I would say the assignments get lengthier as the semester progresses. Pretty much same content though. Take this class, she is awesome. If you don't speak the English language very well, avoid this class. She speaks very fast and translation may be difficult for you.
I LOVED HER CLASS! assignments are a bit challenging, but they're manageable! Pop-quizzes every now and then, so READ! 2 essays for HW, midterm&final are essays, but they're not hard! get help if you need it! I recommend this class to anyone.
Bonny was really nice and passionate, never bored. But definitely not as easy as people make her sound. I've gotten A's in english my whole life and ended up with a low B. She is extremely specific about what she wants and super picky about MLA. Interesting class though, just need alot of time and effort
Professor Bryan is a great witty teacher. She makes grading her assignments fun by commenting on your work and also tells you what you need to improve. I have become a better writer because of her class, some areas were tough, but that is what makes a good writer! Loved it! Thanks!
Bonny is one of my FAVORITE teachers ever. She has such an amazing spirit for teaching. She is very witty and loves to smile. Her work ISNT a walk in the park. Just do the assignments, READ when she asks you to and don't be afraid to ask for help. I received an A :) Wish she taught more than just English! Take her class, you won't regret it.
I genuinely enjoyed her online class! It was straightforward. Her feedback on the essays is helpful. Just remember to manage your time effectively, and you'll be sure to pass! :)
I really didn't like her. Hard grader and have heard more complaints than compliments about her. This website is not really that helpful either. I wouldn't recommend her class at all. Find a different teacher.
Horrible class she never replied to any of my emails!! She never gave much feedback on my essay assignments. Grades very hard in all her assignments
Great english teacher. Had her for 110 and 111. She makes class interesting and fun. Easy A if you attend, do all of the assignments and read. She gives a good amount of extra credit. 4 essays total (two in class and two outside of class). STRONGLY RECOMMEND!
Took this class in the summer. She is nice but can come off as rude or careless at times. Initially she responded to my emails quickly, but then began taking forever to respond! She also messed up on my grades a couple of times and I had to practically argue with her about it! MAKE SURE YOU CITE YOUR WORK! She does not use a +/- grading scale!
If you want to have a lot of work with low grades take this Professor.
Bonny was my favorite English professor I have ever had. She was super helpful, extremely funny and engaging and I enjoyed her lectures a lot. Her class is definitely difficult, you have homework pretty much every day and you have to do the reading but it's worth it. I loved her class and would take it again for sure.
I've never found English class to be the most entertaining but in Professor Bryan's class there was never a dull moment. She is a fun person. I definitely had to do quite a bit of reading and she gives quizzes based on that. The papers weren't easy and required me to actually do some research and go in depth, understandably so.
I loved this class. She made studying poetry bearable, and I enjoyed her lectures. She can be a tough grader on papers, so start early on them and get help if you need it (the writing center is a huge help). Just show up and do all of the assignments, and you'll do well.
One of the best English teachers I have ever had! She is extremely fun and engaging. Some of the essay topic may be challenging but she prepares everyone well before diving into it. The class is mostly discussion based therefore participation is key. She is very open minded and genuinely tries to understand everyone's viewpoint.
Professor Bryan is the best online teacher I've ever had. Her expectations are super reasonable and clear. Shes a fair grader and gives amazing feedback. I would recommend talking her for 110&120 online, because its so much easier than any in person 110 class. Just understand what she wants from you and do it and they its an easy A.
This was my first online class. She is super helpful, replies to emails asap. Check Moodle Monday, as there are usually up to four things due throughout the week starting Tuesday. Very clear instructions, interesting topics, and good feedback on papers etc.
If you want spend a lot of time on your homework and get a low grade, feel free to take this class. Her feedback are useless and pointless.
Useless feedback but expecting you to write an excellent paper. LMAO
I enjoyed Professor Bryan's lectures! She is extremely funny and easy to talk to! She assigns weekly reading assignsments but they aren't that long. Her essay prompts arent too complicated and even if they were she'd explain them and give sample papers as well. TOTALLY TAKE HER!
She's an amazing English teacher! I've always had luck getting great English teachers! She's super hilarious and makes class interesting. As long as you do the reading you'll pass! She does give good feedback for essays and we even did peer reviews so you also get feedback from classmates. This class was amazing
I'm a 3.8 student and took bonny's online course last semester as a final requirement for my degree, honestly wish i took it with someone else. Absolutely hated this teacher. Took forever to grade assignments, large essays were worth 5 points, marks you down for dumb stuff, and did not accept late assignments even if it wasn't our fault. Hated her!
Take your first semester. Format and class load is easy to integrate into a busy life. P Bryan is strict on due dates. Extra credit available, and a rewrite. ENG 120 final time is short, take seriously. Replies quickly to emails. Great sense of humor. Be creative and you will do fine. I got a B only because I was injured and did not have internet.
Took her online class. New assignments and deadlines every 1-2 days but takes more than a week to grade. replies are usually within one sentence expect large essays' final draft, about 3 sentences and are short of insight. Essay instructions are not clear(in fact, very vague)but expect you to do excellence. I do not recommend her online class.
Seriously do not take this class because not only is she completely unreasonable regarding to assignments but also does not help you at all. I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE CLASS. She is a mean and a rude professor
A rude professor whose feedback literally doesn't help at all. She expects excellent essays without helping you.
As long as you put in hard work and listen to her advice, your outcome will be successful. Take her if you can, she is an amazing teacher who will impact your writing for the better not only in the class but for the rest of your career. So grateful for the opportunity of being in her class.
This review may be a tad skewed, you see, as I am in love with Bonny B. Her exceptional taste in literature will ensure you're being exposed to some prime literary greatness. Class lectures are relaxed yet engaging. Essay's are drafted quickly, allowing lots of time to refine and edit (an invaluable practice). What can I say? Give love a chance...
I took her online English 110 class during summer. I highly recommend this option for people who want to avoid the theater of in person English classes and just want to focus on writing papers. She gives decent feedback on papers and is a fair grader. The work load is extremely manageable. We had 4 essays, each about 1000 words.
I took Bonnys 110/89 combo course and she is amazing! Be ready to write a few essays but she is very useful and an easy grader. She loves listening to her students! I would highly recommend her as a teacher, she is amazing!
Bonny is my favorite professor on this campus. She is caring and very understanding! Oh and shes super funny! I took her 110LC class and it was phenomenal! Be ready to write a few essays though they are not hard what so ever. Highly recommend.
Professor Bryan is excellent. Her material is thought-provoking and fun, and her lectures are very interactive. By the end of the semester, the whole class felt more like a community than any other class I have taken. She gives great feedback on essays and is kind, helpful and approachable. One of the easiest and most rewarding classes I've taken.
Great professor, first English class at SBCC. I am taking her class again for ENG111, she gives really good feedback on essays and made me a better writer. Attendance is important because there are a lot of in class assignments.
Because the class was small, there was a sense of community. I think if she really warms up to you, you'll do better in her class. You will actually need to read the textbook to do well and she does have several things assigned in class. So show up, participate and respect her and she will have your back.
Bonny is a very down to earth teacher who genuinely cares about her students. We had a student who was obviously from a different way of life becuase he would constantly disrupt class, but she handled it incredibly professionally and never once lost her temper. She wants you to pass and is always willing to talk outside of class to make it happen
she is a very goofy but efficient English teacher. very helpful when it comes to big assignments. she does one on one for all papers that she assigns. she is also very understanding of other things going on outside of class. but mostly I would say read when assigned and don't miss class and you'll be set for her class.
Bonny Bryan is an amazing, down to earth, and funny woman. I had her for both ENG 110 and 111 and I had a great time in both classes. She gets along with every single student she has and makes this subject fun. Although she is a tough grader, she wants to work with you so that your essays are the best that they can be. I highly recommend her!
I loved Bonnys class. She is so nice and really cares for her students. The homework for her class consists of a short response to whatever we were supposed to read before each class period (super easy). The essays in her class are not too intimidating and she gives amazing feedback. This class oddly made me enjoy going to English class.
Professor Bryan is probably the most caring professor I've had. She genuinely seems to care about her students and is always so enthusiastic!!
Professor Bryan is amazing. If you truly wan't to succeed and see changes in your writing I highly recommend taking her English course. She makes you feel comfortable and offers honest feed back. She want's you to pass her class and is willing to help any way possible. The only way to fail this class is not putting in the time and effort.
She treats students with love and respect. An amazing professor, improves your writing but doesn't want the class to be overwhelming. 2 manageable assignments per week, 3 essays, one final. (offers a fourth optional essay to improve your grade) Fair grader, fun, lively, amazing. I love her so much and I am so sad she isn't teaching 111
She is very caring towards her students. She has very flexible office hours. I definitely would take her class again.
Professor Bryan was a great teacher. She gives you every opportunity to get the best grade possible, but the hard work is up to you! There's no textbook but she does assign a book that ties with with your final essay, so it's important to READ. She meets with you between drafts to give pointers and wants to see you succeed! Best class at SBCC!
Great professor, extremely caring, and really wants to see you succeed in her class. Very organized for her online class and her homework was reasonable. Take her feedback on your papers seriously and implement it to improve your next drafts. Extra credit is offered and she is easily accessible outside of class. Top pick for English courses.
Professor Bryan is SUCH a great teacher! I took her online Eng 110 class and it was great. There are usually 2 assignments due a week. One being a smaller assignment and one being a bigger assignment. The pace of the class was wonderful. Professor Bryan is a very helpful teacher and cares about her students. The work load I would say is medium.
Best English prof at sbcc. She checks up on you if you are slacking (in a nice way) and is very caring.
I had Professor Bryan for my first semester of my freshman year and she was the best teacher I couldve possibly asked for. The work she assigned was never too difficult but it gave me the chance to be creative. She is extremely understanding and caring towards her students.
Professor Bryan is an amazing teacher, you can really tell she cares about her students and makes the effort to get to know them, even in an online setting. Definitely wish I could've taken a class with her in person!
She's very nice and very helpful. The pacing was great and it was never overbearing
Very unclear on feedback and is a very tough grader. If you do take this class make sure you don't mess up a single part of the assignment or she will give you a terrible grade. Check your essays similarity scores prior to submitting because she will fail you if it has over 10%. Would definitely recommend a different professor.
As long as you complete the work on time and put effort into your assignments, you will get an A. There is a clear rubric for every single assignment if you want to get full credit. If you have any questions, her response time is very quick. One of the best professors I've had at SBCC.
Bryan is strict in grading papers, gives lots of feedback which is helpful in improving writing skill. A typical week would be 1-2 discussions + essay, and each discussion requires your knowledge from some articles she provided. She is very clear in grading critiques and always has clear instructions. She's a quick responder too.
Best teacher I've ever had in my school career. Tough grader, but very clear on what needs to be done. She encourages her students to be as social as possible and made this class worth coming to. She will sit down with you and tell you what you need to do to pass. Very interactive and easy to contact outside of class. Would 100% take again!
Professor Bryan is known for her tough grading, but she provides great feedback to help improve writing skills. The class workload is manageable, and she's quick to respond to questions. Unstuck ai proved to be a valuable study tool alongside the provided readings.
Professor Bryan is one of the best professors I have ever had. She cares so much about her students and really wants you to succeed and learn from her class. You will read some very interesting books and I feel like I became a much better writer and reader in her class. She is so kind and engaging, I really recommend her/her class.
She is the best! I had her last year and still recommend her to all my friends. Such a caring person. She is the kind of person that would make a great friend.
Incredibly talented teacher and too cute for school. Wish I could have her as a teacher every year
DO NOT USE AI. You will be caught if you do so. She is a good teacher and you can reach out for help anytime and she is understanding. Fair grader.
