I thought she was a good teacher. Her pronunciations aren't that bad, she's not one of those that you can't understand. I think she did a good job and was pretty easy. She does expect you to be there in class and participate. She grades a lot on participation.

Good teacher, does have accent but that really isn't a factor in anything. Very intelligent lady, knows her stuff. Full of ideas, and an enjoyable class overall. Recommended.

She is a great professor. Prepares you very well for the department exam. Does teach alot from the book but it isn't bad. She grades off a point system and it makes writing papers so much easier. She is really funny and an extremly nice lady! Would reccomend her to anyone. EASY A!!!

Dr. Roy is a very nice professor and is really exciting aout teaching. She has a passion for what she does and her classes are not boring at all. We have awesome dicussions if you read the stories. Her class is fun and has a weekly quiz about the stories that we read. I highly reccomend her!!! Awesome teacher!!!

Dr. Roy is very friendly and very smart. This class was an easy A. She's super funny. I recomend getting on her good side. Uses the book a lot. Very lax on due dates, if you talk to her.

Very easy class. HOWEVER, beware that she is a very vocal feminist. She's nice, but puts stipulations on classwork such as "This presentation can be about anything from the 16th and 17th centuries. But not a man." That said, she's a good teacher and the class is an easy A if you put in any effort at all.

She is a very good instructor, At first she seems difficult because she uses sarcastic humor. Do the readings, journals(very easy), and attend class always. She really wants you to do well, but is not afraid to give you the grade deserved.

very enthusiastic teacher. really pretty and a vocal feminist. has a dry sense of humor but really nice and helpful. lotsa reading. 3 group presentations, 2 tests, and 1 final research. the 2 tests are tough, but she gives you the exact questions a week before the test. the hardest part of the class was the 10 page research paper.

She was easy. Every paper you have to write just adds additional elements. So, there are no suprises. The presentations are a few minutes and as long as you hit the key points you will get a perfect score. quizes are on stories that you read and discussed in class. The final paper is long, but nothing hard.

Brinda was my Eng teacher for Comp I. She is funny, witty and insightful, but also uncaring and mean as all hell. She will tear your papers to shreds like you're supposed to be in Comp II Honors. She doesn't know your name and doesn't care to either. What I thought would be an easy class turned out to be pretty scary, I thought I might not pass!!

She was pretty awesome. She took the time to explain things and was always available to email. She was a pretty liberal grader and I did pretty well in her class.

Loved this professor. Found her enthusiasm contagious. Participation counts! Test topics handed out at least a week before test. You choose two from list and write 2 essays. (time yourself-30 min. per essay) No surprises! Final research paper required. She'll work with you; just ask before paper is due! Easy if you come to class and participate.

Absolutely loved her class! I like to write, so the 5 papers we had to do was no big deal. I enjoyed the class discussions over the stories we had to read, as well. She's bad with names at first, but it's almost funny because she's totally aware of it. Just come to class, read the stories she assigns, and do the papers. Simple.

She is entertaining, and doesn't grade too harshly. Even though the subject matter wasn't all that interesting for me, I enjoyed her class.

She has very dry humor. The papers are not hard, she gives you opritunities to correct your papers. She also gives you some time to come in before the paper is due so she can check it and give you some help. Quizes over every short story you read.

Dr. Roy is brilliant. She is passionate about her field and expects the students to care about their own education. She motivated me to outdo myself with each paper. Dr. Roy is the perfect professor for the students that are serious about academic success. Lazy and uninterested students that want to be coddled should find a mediocre professor.

Do not take her World Lit 2 class if you not a full time student. Expects more work than a Full time worker and part time student can do, or at least me. Reading large sections "Up too 100 pages"-Her Words, and writing a full page "Journal", single space, between each class, plus 3 projects and a research paper.

Dr. Roy is the best professor I have ever had. She is engaging and truly cares about her students. Her expectations are clear: that students learn to effectively communicate through writing and speech. She's very interested in hearing each student's voice. If you work hard, see her during office hours, and attend class, you will do well.

She is awesome. She like you to interact and is very helpful. I took her for engl 1302 also.

First day of class she said "There are no right or wrong answers in literature". Her attitude and lectures say otherwise. She doesn't respond to emails, and cannot write legibly to save her life. How can one correct an essay, if they can't read her comments?She makes everything so difficult and frustrating. Just avoid...

The first thing you should know about brinda is that shes a tough grader. you'll have to write 5 essays in her class the last being a 6-8 page research essay. the saving grace in this class is that you can re write two of your essays, not including the research essay. if your not already a strong writer you may have trouble with this class.

Professor Roy is really helpful and to the point. She has high expectations for all 5 of the required papers you write in her class and grades accordingly. The good news is she grades really nicely on the Department exam! as long as you read the material you will pass all the quizzes and as long as you follow the paper guidelines you will pass!

Brinda Roy is a good teacher overall, she was clear at explaining all her course material. She also has a list of words you cannot write with though, so you can't use those words on the paper. And Absolutely No Cell Phones!!!

Brinda Roy is a good teacher overall, she was clear at explaining all her course material.

Great teacher overall. She takes attendance and has high expectations but she makes up for it by being always helpful to students. She has very specific guidelines for her papers and is always willing to answer any question, as long as you ask for help. Also she picks out great stories to study from and the discussions were very interesting.

Dr Roy is a great professor. You have to read a lot, she uses 3 book series and she loves you to participate. She's fun, assigns 13 journals for homework and tests are pretty easy multiple choice, but you have to write an essay on each test. She lets you bring in an outline, book, etc and uses blackboard & email a lot. Overall my FAV teacher!

Pay attention to what she says about the stories you go over-- they help when you do your literary exams. Class sucks though. You have to talk about a massive amount of stories and a lot of journals. Research paper is huge portion of grade so take it seriously. Attendance matters; 50 points added to grade if you have 0 absences.

Amazing instructor. She makes the students feel at ease and gets everyone to participate. She is hilarious and her lectures are captivating. I really really enjoyed her class. I would definitely take any of her English classes. Highly recommend.

You'll have to read the textbooks, especially because you have to write summaries over what you read. The lectures are really enjoyable and sometimes the class would have group discussions. I had a lot of fun in this class, and learned a lot!

I highly recommend her class, very helpful teacher. I took her British Lit. Class and she was amazing, gives feed back, and her classes are hilarious. She really know what she is taking about.

Professor Roy!!!! Folks say she was hard and tough, i absolutely disagree. I was absent a lot and she gave ma an A for participation....(still come to class). I didn't do as well as I wanted to on the three tests but I surprisingly did what she wanted for the essay and she gave me a B for the class.

Dr. Roy was amazing. You can tell she has a real passion for English, and making sure her class really learns something. It is an argument based class, so it is a lot different than the typical acc english class where you write a few papers and you're done. You really have to think critically and I really enjoyed the challenge.

Dr. Roy is an amazing lecturer. I've never felt more engaged or interested in poetry. You have a journal assignment every night, lots of reading, and she is a Comp. teacher so she is a tough grader. But if you read your book, show up, and participate, not only will you do well, you will get so much out of the class. And a new love for literature.

Great

Dr. Roy may be a tough grader, but she is fair. The class is not one you get to sleep through, participation matters a great deal, but her lectures are super interesting. If you put in an effort and show up to class, you will do just fine. She also gives great feedback as to what she wants if you are stuck. The woman loves G.O.T. She rocks!

Professor Roy is incredibly energetic and funny, which makes her class easy to follow and fun to attend. You have reading out of the textbook assigned every class, and a journal due every class. Theres 2 tests and a research paper, which are major grades, but as long as the reading is done, her class is a breeze. Love her and would take again!!

This class requires a lot of reading every night but it's manageable. She will make you speak and participate in class. I'm not a talker in class so it wasn't my favorite thing. But the tests aren't that bad if you study for them and read the content. Professor Roy is funny and passionate about literature and will make you laugh.

Took Dr. Roy for both Comp II and World Lit (ENGL2342). Though she expects a lot, Dr. Roy in an absolute pleasure and one of the finest professors I've ever had. She really knows her stuff and expects you to bring 110% but she's so good at what she does that feeling is infectious and permeates the class and the semester. Would recommend.

Interesting class, never boring! You will work for your grade though.

Dr. Roy makes Brit Lit a ton of fun. Every day her lectures really make you think about the material to be read. Get ready to read a LOT and write 1pg long journals for every class though. Her list of words to avoid in papers is intense, but done with the focus to make everyone better writers.

I had this prof for my first online course. I regretted taking the course online at first because the syllabus and course docs on BB seemed like alot. She gave great feedback on the short answer questions and papers, and the abundance of reference docs proved beneficial later. I would recommend her for Comp 1 - DL.

One of my favorite professors! Really cares about teaching her students. Our class is kind of small and that gives her a chance to be more personal with her students. She's fun and knows what she's talking about.

Really enjoyed Professor Roy's class! Her class is very discussion based and requires a lot of participation which keeps it interesting. Her classes are never boring. There is a lot of reading (which makes sense for a literature class). She can be a bit of a tough grader, especially on essays.

This was a DL class. We still had to participate in Blackboard discussions for points. Dr. Roy is a no nonsense type. She spells things out very clearly and expects compliance. She allows students to turn in rough drafts and points out what is wrong so that you can correct. Shes great with responding! She expects work to be done on time.

Dr. Roy was a great professor, I actually looked forward to class most days. Lots of reading to do, but I thought it was well worth it. 14 one-paged journals throughout the year, 2 exams (multiple choice over the readings and a written portion which she gives you the prompts before,) and a final paper.

Everything listed in my review is false. She's an awful teacher. Don't take her. I would share my personal experience with this teacher, but you can just scroll down below and read other students... very similar to mine

I really enjoyed her class. Grading is based on 4 essays, weekly discussion boards, and some super easy quizzes. Lectures are just discussions of the assigned readings. I recommended taking notes over the discussions to help write your unit essays. She offers rough draft reviews and it really helps. Just do your works and you will pass.

overall easy class, there were at least two discussion boards a week that would require reading an article and answering questions over them and a min response of 50 words to a classmate. No tests only 4 papers 3-4 pages each and plenty of time to complete every assignment as long as it is done before the due date

Weekly discussion boards. Professor Roy helped me outside of class and allows students to turn in rough drafts for feedback and if you don't do well on the final draft you will have to re-do it. She cares about her students and wants them to succeed. I did not like the material we read and felt like I was in a gender studies class.

Dr. Roy is a good professor, she gave us plenty of resources to help us out in our writing and answers emails in a timely manner. There's weekly discussion boards, four papers, and gave us an opportunity to turn in a rough draft so that you have a chance to revise the Paper according to her comments before turning it in.

I'm writing this as a correction to a post I made earlier on in the semester. Reflecting on my writing has caused me to change my mind, however I am unable to take the post down for some reason.

Dr. Roy's class was amazing. I truly loved being in her class, for those who commented from her online course I would strongly suggest taking her in person. The lectures are more conversation based as a whole class. The homework is important as we spend a significant amount of time going over it and really dissecting the information. Will miss it!

I'm shocked to see some of the reviews here. The only times I received low scores were when I didn't give the class enough time. She does give strict feedback, but I don't think it's a big deal if you disagree. In 1301 I did disagree with her and she still gave me nearly full marks. Best instructor I've had so far through 2nd full-time semester.

This is a Liberal Arts Gateway course focusing on "social, gender, and sexual identities through storytelling." It is quite challenging, and one unit focuses specifically on gender identities. If you are not open-minded this course isn't for you. I loved this class and took a lot away from it, as the topics can easily be transferred to real life.

This course was packed heavily with reading material - I would have preferred less by far, however I understand that Professor Roy wanted us to broaden our reading culture in exploring through a variety of stories, essays, poems, film, novella, etc. Very engaging course that requires participation. Overall I truly enjoyed taking this course.

Was a very work-heavy course, but expected for a college course. Participation matters so that you can contribute thoughtful ideas to the class. I did not do amazing on the papers, but Prof. Roy and the learning labs are always there to help you. Prof. Roy was very eager to teach and incredibly insightful. Respect her time and she will respect you.

I really enjoyed my time in 1302 with Prof Roy. If you take this course, you should expect around 2 readings and discussion posts per week and around 4 total papers. She did a fantastic job of familiarizing our classmates and prompting us in class discussions. I felt all of the texts we studied were chosen very thoughtfully. Absolutely recommend!

She was very helpful in writing papers, she gave us guidlines, samples, and examples and made it known to what she was looking for in papers. I honestly liked her grading criteria because it helped me write my papers more efficiently and having to use critical thinking rather than just read and write.

I took her women and gender studies class for English 1302 and it was A LOT of reading. The professor gives ok feedback. She is super sweet though

Prof. Roy's class is challenging but rewarding. She provides great feedback to help you improve. The reading and writing assignments are heavy, but manageable with consistent effort. Unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for staying on top of the workload.

Dr. Roy has to be one of my favorite professors. In-class discussions were inspiring and thoughtful, and I thoroughly enjoyed every single class and most works we read. She's great with feedback, and I feel I've grown much as a writer. However, this class is a lot of writing. If you're not the best with writing, this class might not be for you.

TON of reading, and writing. General themes re texts were identity and belonging with a dose of misandry (I am a woman, fwiw) & evils of the patriarchy. Strict guidelines for AI use (she will catch you) and you have to write your papers in google docs, share the link w/ editor privileges so she can see all the edits. I felt like this was invasive.

I don't know what these other ratings are talking about. Dr. Roy was a great professor. All the graded assignments were just writings essays and some group presentations. No tests or quizzes. She's super energetic and fun and enjoys teaching. There is a lot to read, but they were usually interesting and she goes over them in class anyway.
