I had her for english in the summer. She is the best at delgado. She made writing fun for the class.
Ms. C is a great teacher. She is funny too which is good cause english is boring to me.
Ms. McCarthy is the BEST English teacher I have ever had. She is tough on you and rarely hands out A's but when you get them they are well deserved. I'm upset I can't get her this summer since she's having a baby but seriously she's an amazing teacher and hilarious. Plus, she looks like Natalie Portman!
This is one of the ****iest teachers that I have ever had. I am so glad that she left for maternity leave. Gives confusing criticism with no explanation on how to improve in the future.
Best teacher ever! I was sooooo glad she got back from having her baby. I wouldn't have passed the class without her help.
Great Teacher, she explained all questions and is very determine to help you.
`Best English Teacher. She is nice and tells you exactly what you need in your papers. She gets annoyed when people are late, and A's are hard to get. I got B's on all my papers. Expect to do alot of typing!
Maybe it is because I am taking this class online but she is clueless when it comes to using blackboard. She will say things are due but can not manage to get the due dates online. Oh, and she doesn't respond to "ymails and emails". Terrible experience thus far
Taking this class online. Due dates are clear. it's just idiot students who can't read. I am waiting for my first paper response. I emailed her to discuss my topic. Very helpful instructor so far!
Excellent class!
excellent over all! loved the class!:)
Yeah, she's hard but I can't believe what my writing is like right now. So different and so much better. I'll be lucky to get a C but I am learning a lot. Great teacher!
Took this class online. Her class definitely is time consuming. I felt like she expected way too much. If you're up for discussion board postings and quizzes every week, this class is for you. I swear I signed into BB like 50x a day to post or check my grades. She grades pretty hard, so be sure to elaborate! GOODLUCK!
Took Intro to Poetry and Drama online during the summer. Every week we would have mandatory discussion board questions and a quiz. Quizzes and Mid Term/Final exams were all essay based. Two essay papers were required. Ms. McCarthy expected assignments on time and didn't accept late assignments, but she was very fair and kept the class interesting.
Great teacher took her summer workshop. She will not be easy on you bur she will make you a great writer.
Ms Carol wants us to work hard. And she don't allow late work.
Be prepared to work. I felt that she was a little nit-picky, but that's what an English class is. My writing absolutely blossomed under her instruction. You will work in this class, but you will learn a great deal as well.
She keeps class interesting. Mrs McCarthy is passionate about the material. Honors English 101-1RA was the best class I have had at Delgado so far
The best!!!
She started off really helpful, she would give good lectures and would give clear instructions of what she wanted for the papers. Towards the end she gave instruction for the paper and then would mark it wrong when I got my paper back it was very confusing.
Mrs. McCarthy's online class is one of the best online classes I have taken. She responds quickly to emails when I had questions. I thought she graded hard but at least she reads the papers and gives feedback. I will take her 102 class when I can.
She's a very tough grader. She will explain things to you and tell you where to get help but even if you do so you will possibly fail.
Tough grader. She gives feedback that is helpful but she won't edit your papers. I wish I had her the first time I took this class. Take her if you are serious about learning and can do the work. If you slack, or if you don't meet deadlines, it's your own fault. Trust me. I barely passed because I slacked off.
I took this class for Honors 101. I loved this class! We did a lot of discussion with some debate. She really respects opinions. The writing lab is a must! I got A's on all but the one paper I did not go to the wring lab for, basically. She had told me to... She is always welcoming if you go see her during office hours.
I enjoyed having her as my teacher for this semester. I feel that her feedback was really good. I am usually terrible at writing and I put my all into it this semester. I feel very confident after taking this course. I would take her again.
Great teacher! Gives great feedback on papers. As long as you do every assignment on time and follow the rubrics, you will have no problem with passing. I met her in person and she is really caring to her students.
Great teacher. Provides time during what would be your normal class times to meet with her to discuss your papers so you don't have to find time during her office hours. Reads over your papers and directs what to correct. Funny and entertaining discussions in class.
I loved having her as my English 101 professor!! She gives amazing feedback, allows an amount of time for rewrites, and gives entertaining lectures!! 10/10 would recommend! Take full advantage of the Canvas tutor she makes you use!!!!!!
She's very good and very helpfu. Take advantage of the NETTUTOR it's a very helpful tool. She wants you to do well, she's available to help. Do the work and put fourth effort. You have to work for you grade but she gives a lot of videos and reading material to help make everything clear. I took this class online, glad she was the instructor.
Do Not take her class! She's a tough grader and will not go over your paper when you feel you should've received a better grade. Her responses regarding question about writing assignment grades are harsh. The most unreasonable teacher I've ever had.
She corrects me on everything, leaves lots of room for improvement. I would be willing to take her again.
Really great 101 teacher. That's all I can say. I'm taking her again for Engl 102. Uses rubrics. Returns papers in a few days with feedback. Fast at returning emails and calls you if you ask her to.
First week of class and I am impressed. Answers emails quickly. Course is organized. Gave a link to the electronic text since school Is closed (and it's cheaper anyway! Bonus!) So far so good! Thanks for the votes of confidence.
Ms. McCarthy is an awesome teacher!! She returns emails quickly and is very willing to help you anytime. I would definitely take her again! You won't regret choosing her as your English teacher! I've never been a good writer but she has helped better my writing this semester.
I took this class online! I loved Ms. McCarthy. She is very organized. She replies in a timely manner, which is great if youre stuck on something. This class bettered my writing by far! She is awesome!
I took her online class the semester before last. I am just now writing a review because my English 102 teacher wasn't great, and it really made me miss Ms. McCarthy! I plan to take her again in the future for her other literature classes. She is helpful, fair, and easily accessible if you have questions.
I am taking her online class now. She offers a lot of help with papers and tells you everything you need to make it better. She's really nice, too. Her class is very organized and better than other online classes.
I took her class in the summer and I'm grateful that I did. This class is not hard if you do the work. She tells you exactly what you need to improve and makes her expectations clear. If you aren't willing to work for your grade, don't bother taking her. If you don't mind earning your grade, you will do fine.
She's a very nice person. Her class was difficult, but even though it was online, she still made herself available if you needed help. DO NOT TURN THINGS IN LATE. If you have your stuff together, take her. You will learn something.
I wouldve got an A if I would have done the extra credit she offered but I was quite overwhelmed with a&p. But overall shes a great professor. DO NOT TURN IN ASSIGNMENTS LATE. Unless you have a really good excuse she will not accept it. If your having trouble just message her. She cares about her students but you have to do your part too.
Professor McCarthys online Fiction class is a must! Her course is extremely organized is spelled out for you. The discussion board is great. Students show respect for each others interpretation of stories. There are weekly quizzes and discussion boards. Unfortunately there are two essays to write (I hate writing essays!). Great class!
one of the best teachers ive taken for english. take her class online! while taking her class make sure you use the book to read examples of essays and also make sure your in the writting lab to help with papers as well! you guys will not regret taking her
I would never take her again! She is a very tough grader. If you have plenty of free time to work on your papers then take her. If not, I would not reccomend her. Especially not for a mini semester. Its too much to get done in a short time frame. She also gives alot of work. Wont pass without purchasing the book. Her quizes are not needed for engl!
Professor McCarthys English class is not easy but you will learn a lot. She answers emails quickly and called me in a few occasions when I was stuck to help me think through an idea. She uses rubrics so her grading is clear. Take her! Dont turn things in late though and use the online writing tutors. You will be a better writer because of her.
Very organized, detailed and clear grading rubric, and quick to respond to questions you have. I learned a lot from her class. Highly recommend.
I took Ms Carols class and learned so much. We read poems, do presentations & write papers. A lot of group work but class was fun but hard. Im taking English class now and I miss that class I took with her. Go to her office hours.
I absolutely LOVE Professor McCarthy. Her lectures are outstanding. She explains everything so clearly for anyone to understand. I love how organized she is! She really was the best professor I've had so far.
Clear deadlines and able to work ahead. Fast grader. Do the discussions as soon as possible and make sure to reply to others for full credit. Five papers, last one is your final. It was great to write the final paper and be done a week or so before other classes had finals.
I took Ms. McCarthy for the winter session course and it was difficult because of the time constraints (uh, 3 weeks for one semester class!) I am happy I took the class with her. She answered emails very very quickly, and actually TAUGHT the online class with videos and lectures. She uses grading rubrics so there are no questions about grades.
She is by far the best English teacher i have had. She is very understanding and gives wonderful and easy to understand feedback on assignments. Be aware that participation is big with her. Lots of peer communication. Definitely would suggest taking her especially if your like me and not such a good writer.
Wonderful teacher. Set clear guidelines at the beginning of the week. Very fast at responses. Great feedback on papers.
Great Instructor! If you apply yourself and work ahead this class will be a piece of cake. Assignment was not hard at all and papers was reasonable.
Professor McCarthy is an absolutely incredible instructor. She is organized and gives clear instructions on every class assignment. She encourages the use of DCC Writing Lab as well as Louisiana Homework Helper. I have a disability and struggle in English Composition and i still received an "A" in her class. I highly recommend her.
McCarthy is probably a great teacher f2f, but on Canvas, she's a mess. Nests so many instructions in other sets of instructions, it becomes a life-consuming scavenger hunt just to figure out what you need to do. Furthermore, she states right from the start that she expects you to devote 20 hours/week on just her class. No time for other classes.
I took Professor McCarthys class during a mini session. Her online class is extremely organized and she sets clear guidance for grading. She does not accept late work so stay on top of it. She responds to emails quickly. Definitely take her class in the mini session!
I took this class online for the fall semester. She gives clear instructions and deadlines. She was available to answer my questions through email and phone calls if you ask. Her class has specific days (Sundays and Thursdays) when things are due so there are no surprises. Take her class! Youll become a better writer.
She is a good proffesor , she want u to pass and she encourages you to join the writing center a lot for her assignments and essays . she give tutor review which is for extra credit that made me pass her course . remember to always pick a topic very easy for you and one that u are familiar with . I took this course online for the fall 2020 semest
Absolutely loved her class! She does weekly emails/videos explaining the work for the week. Shes very clear of whats expected. Though the papers she gives are kind of long she makes it very interesting topics to write on. We did three papers, and weekly summaries. Literally the easiest A if you put in the work!
I enjoyed Ms. McCarthy's class. It was an accelerated 8 week program and I thought she did great with pacing and content. She was very approachable, patient, and graded fairly. I built confidence with my writing. I'd recommend her class for sure.
Professor McCarthy was such an understanding and caring professor!! While taking her English 102 class, my area was hit by two hurricanes on top of me contracting COVID. I emailed her right away and explained all of my issues to her and she worked with me closely to make sure I finished the course!! Would definitely take her again!
THE WORST ENGLISH TEACHER I TOOK!! SHE IS SO MEAN PERIOD!! SHE DOESN'T CARE AT ALL!! SHE THINKS WE'RE ONLY TAKING HER CLASS AND DON'T HAVE OTHER CLASSES TO WORRY ABOUT! I DO NOT RECOMMENCED HER. SHE IS SO RUDE AND GIVES ATTITUDE. IF YOU WANT AN A DON'T TAKE HER!!!!
She is kind, engaging, and super responsive. There is enough work to where you feel like you earned your grade but not so much that it is overwhelming. As long as you put forth the effort and do your assignments on time you should be fine. You would have to try pretty hard to fail but the class is interesting so it keeps your attention.
Very understanding
Ms McCarthy offers multiple ways to learn through her videos and lectures in this online class. Its like a regular class so expect to watch lessons and take notes like a regular class. 4 essays total with citations. Her class isnt hard if you do the work and meet with the tutors. I learned a lot.
If you take her during the short semesters, be prepared to work for your grade. Good news is that Mrs. McCarthy grades assignments very fast. Her papers aren't that hard but use the writing tutors because they catch things you need to fix. She does not accept late work (and she mentions this 1000X times). Not even quizzes can be turned in late.
I've taken Ms. McCarthy twice and each time I've noticed that she grades fairly. The papers assigned are controversial and force thoughtful thinking. She's understanding of situations that may hinder performance. She won't give a grade, but shell show you how to earn one.
I took her class as a high school senior and she was amazing. She was very caring and considerate. She has hard deadlines and does not accept late work. Make sure to participate! Wasn't a hard class at all!
Took her class in spring and she was a tough grader. Nothing would be perfect in her eyes so try your best to pass her class, she is quick to give a bad grade if you don't check with her first. Must respond to other students post. She uses turnitin for any plagiarism. Would I retake her class? My answer would be no. Sadly she makes me hate school.
Great professor. Take her!
She was horrible. Gives no direct feedback. She takes so long to email students back and she does not respond to any comments that you make in response to her greeting. If you just want to pass a class and get out of it, I would recommend this class but if you want to grow as a writer, I would definitely not recommend this teacher.
At first, I thought I was going to fail. It had been years since I'd been in school, but Professor McCarthy gave me the inspiration I forgot I had. It is a lot of work to be a prerequisite for English, but it's worth it.
Professor McCarthy is a caring professor. She responds to emails quickly. He class is organized and rubrics used in all assignments.
I would 10/10 recommend Ms.McCarthy. I did every assignment but couldn't finish strong and yet still passed with a B. I had days where I turned in some assignments late, but she'd still grade them w/o taking off points. She's caring if you really do your work and put in the effort and communicate with her. I would definitely take her again.
Ms. McCarthy is a great teacher. Stay on top of her work and follow exactly what she says to do and you will pass. Do not try to get over, she is very specific about what she wants and how she wants it done. I enjoyed her class.
Back in College she was the perfect professor. She teaches in a way to get you motivated to participate in class even read aloud n front of strangers.
Super easy professor! Very flexible on deadlines. Very helpful when needed.
I would not recommend this teacher to anyone to be honest. Sure she has good reviews but most of the time that is just who the teacher is nice to. She seems to basically pick and choose whose she nice to. She grades her essay based off an F, if she sees one thing wrong, automatic F. If you want an A, do not do not do not take her.
Professor McCarthy's online English 2 class is well organized and she is very quick to get in touch with if you have questions. I learned a lot from her class about arguments and MLA quoting. I recommmend taking her for both English 1 and 2.
Professor McCarthy's ENGL 102 course is thoughtfully designed. Her assignments and grading rubrics are clear, and she is fast to grade and reply to emails. I recommend her 100%
She grades according to the student and is not fair. Be ready to hear about politics instead of her teaching. You cannot hear her across the classroom and the classroom is small.. Not the greatest grading for a class that is mandatory and not intended to be difficult.
she is so understanding and implements a lot of coursework shining light on minorities and their struggles. i always look forward to attending her lectures.
the best professor ive had at Delgado. class was super easy. materials are easy to learn. I took 1/2 semester and wrote 3 papers. she was very helpful in the writing journey! she wants to see you succeed as long as you try. easy to communicate with! definitely worth taking!
I took Engl110 with Ms. McCarty and her class was not too difficult. I took her online class and she had students connect on zoom. I enjoyed meeting students in the class. It was not something I did in other online classes. She had 3 major papers and we could fix errors for a new grade. I highly recommend to take her in the online class.
Ms. McCarthy is a phenomenal instructor. She cares and she sees her students. The reading material is relatable and interesting. I found there was enough time to complete the writing assignments. What I really enjoyed was class discussions and working in groups. Attendance is mandatory. I wouldn't recommend skipping.
