There is a lot of work, there are quizzes, essays, and discussion boards every week. The essays all have to be at least 6 pages long, with hard grading and can rarely get full credit for assignments. There are many mistakes on assignments and quizzes that make it difficult to understand what the professor wants. I would not take this class again.!!

Safe to say she ruined the class of English for me. I really enjoyed reading my text, but that's just because I liked the content. I didn't learn ANYTHING from lectures. To be honest, I don't think she is there to teach but just to yap collect a paycheck. Never had any problems with any professors but her. But maybe that's just me, idk:) hahahaha!
