This is the most difficult teacher you will ever take!!!!!!!!!!!! IF you want to be an English major take her class, but otherwise you may be in for it.
She has high standards for your papers. I bet your first paper that you turn in, will have so much red ink on just the first paragraph. Don't even bother buying the book even though she says that she will check to see if you are using it. You wont use it.
she's cruel. if she doesn't like you, you and the whole class will know. she's hard, don't take her unless you eat sleep and breathe english
it sucked, the workload was hell, and she grades very hard...expects alot, gives out a ton of homework. you learn something, but she drills it into your skull..you get the point. its alot of work. but if your into it...its cool. i wasnt.

She is super hard, and has high expectations. I learned a lot, and I still have the comma rules drilled into my head. The final essay was hell. I would recommend a different teacher, but if she fits into your schedule go for it.
Dude her class was pretty hard but to pass with an A all you need to do is pay attention, do your work, and work hard. Everything she teaches becomes very helpful for all English classes to come. DON'T GET ON HER BAD SIDE IF SHE HATES YOU SHE MIGHT POKE LOTS OF FUN ON YOU.
A very hard teacher to take. I learned a lot from her class and somehow made out weith a "B" but only if your interested in being a english major...then you should take her class.
She's hard, but a very good teacher. As long as you pay attention and do the required work, it's easy. If you write good papers, she'll love you. But don't get on her bad side. I recommend her. She forces you to learn the material and it will all come in handy in the future, trust me.
She is really boring and treats her students like they are in elementary school..

Tough class, but it is well worth it. you will learn so much which makes future classes easier!! Recommended!
she was awesome.. a little difficult, but she helps you through everything. trust me it pays off in your next english class.

MRS. MITER TALKED TO EVERYONE AS IF WE WERE A KINDERGARTEN CLASS. SHE KEPT SPELLING OUT HER LAST NAME M-I-T-E-R. SHE BORED ME SO MUCH THAT I DROPPED THE CLASS. THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS OUR CLASSROOM WAS FULL AND THEN THE NEXT CLASS SESSION 3/4 OF THE STUDENTS DROPPED IT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO NEVER TAKE MITER BECAUSE SHE IS BORING AND BABBLES A L
Mrs. Miter needed to address most of her students at Kindergarten level because a majority of them acted as such. I didn't care for English, but I love it now thanks to Miter. She is fair, helpful and accessible via email. If she taught Eng 1A, I would take her class. Highly recommended! I worked for an "A" and received an "A". Good teacher!
She was grouchy, never seemed happy. She likes to make people feel stupid. I like school, but hated taking her class. I wouldn't reccomend it.
Worst teacher i've had at RCC and that sums it up.
the worst teacher ive had in my life! shes so cruel and unfair and degrading to her students. she gives seating charts and treats you like a 5 yr old. dont take her unless you like spending your time in hell with the devil...funny cuz shes a preachers wife. she failed me because i would stand up for myself and not back down to her belittling me.
Gives assignments then changes her mind about the instructions a million times.
At first I thought Miter was very harsh and a little confusing. She changed her mind on the assignments a lot. If you are willing to work very hard then you will get a good grade. Just be ready to take a beating from criticism, if you can use it to better your writing she is a good teacher for you!
She is very strict and harsh! We had something big due almost every week. But when I talked to her about my work, she gave me tips and suggested a good tutor. She really wants you to be great at english. I learned a ton!
If you are a busy person, don't take her hybrid class. She is a good teacher, but if you don't ask for help and don't follow her directions, you will get a poor grade.
ENG50- Carol Miter was a very hard to understand teacher. English and writing is one of my passions but no matter how hard I studied or what I did I never seemed to satisfy what she was looking for. Her assignments were time consuming and confusing. When you ask her questions, she's not polite about answering. I definately do NOT recommend her.
The first day of class we were assigned an essay, which I received a 'B' on. After all instruction, we had a similar essay for the final, on which I received a 'D'. Miter made me more stupid throughout the class. Prepare to Loose Brain Cells!
I got a B in her class. She is strict and will drop you if you miss class. She is also not afraid to call you out in front of the classroom if your talking or late! You need the book(s) and at the end she will collect them and make sure you are doing the activities!! ugh!! that was annoying... You have something due every class meeting!!
I worked my butt off in her class,and still wasn't able to "please" her. She was all over the place and was not clear at all! Lots of tears were shed trying to figure out what the hell she wanted. I got so sick from the stress,so I dropped out 1/2 way thru her class. Best thing I ever did!I took another Eng. class,and whoa! What a huge difference!
She is ridiculous. No matter what I do she will not be pleased. I could have a #1 bestselling author write my essay and she will still comment that its poor quality Yes because it doesnt fit her bitter, miserable attitude. Do not take her!!!
She's rude when it comes to asking questions. She makes me feel uncomfortable to ask for help or anything at all. Don't take her!
i think miter is hard but i think she is a good teacher. i learned a lot in her class. she doesnt expect anything less then the best and if someone is just going to write a paper 20 min before class she will know. she is a hard teacher and the work is time consuming. i really felt that i learned a lot in her class and i wish she was teaching 1A.
Best teacher of all time. She will work with you if you want to learn. She opens your eyes to how the coprate world will be. If your idle and not ambitious, then this class is not for you. People says she's mean because she pushes you to be better and people just want everything easy.
SHE HAS BEEN THE BEST ENGLISH TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!STUDENTS SAY SHE IS HARD-NOT TRUE.ALL SHE WANTS IS FOR YOU TO LEARN THE MATERIAL.SHE IS VERY HELPFUL.MY WRITING HAS IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY-THANKS TO HER.I RECCOMEND HER CLASS!

SHE HAS BEEN THE BEST ENGLISH TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!STUDENTS SAY SHE'S HARD.-NOT AT ALL!SHE REALLY TEACHES YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.MY WRITING SKILLS HAVE IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY THANKS TO HER.I RECCOMEND HER CLASS!
At first, didn't understand her. By the end of the semester, I really appreciated her. I didn't realize how much I had learned untill the end of the class. She could be a little better at explaining what she actually expects from a lesson, wasted class time on explaining what was expected after the assignment was given.
first day i show up to class me and two other people were late to class. we eventually found out we were all looking for the same class after we saw each other circling around the wrong builing like for 20 mins. lol... anyways we show up to class and i cant fit exactly what she told us but she was just EXTREMELY RUDE. the building veryhard to find
do not get this teacher what she expects of you is over to much she is the kind of teacher that likes to see you struggle financially and educationally
Carol's class is only what u make of it. Her lessons are straight forward, but if followed according 2 directions u will do well. She helps to build a foundation for your college education not only in Eng. She is a compassionate teacher whose main interest is to help students be successful in Eng, school & the real world. I would strongly recommend
Carol Miter is the best English teacher that I have ever had the privilege to learn from. Yeah, her class was tough as nails, but it got easier because I applied myself. All of these nasty comments are crap. They are pure lies and garbage. CAROL RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hate this class, Syllabus is useless. She can never seem to make up her mind about what is due and when. Wish I was in a different class. I would highly recommend avoiding this teacher.
Miter is very difficult.I would not recommend her to anyone.She does very little teaching and would rather read to you out of a book.Her projects are what make you or break you.She is a very hard grader and WILL I repeat WILL just give you a "C" for just completing the project. To sum all this up...Miter makes her class WAY harder then it has to be
Way too hard for a Eng50 class.All my friends in other 50 classes say they have it a lot easier then I do.Her projects are dumb and they allow little room for creativity, but then Miter gives you a C for not having enough creativity.Demands that you go and buy another $70 dollar book that so far is completely worthless.DONT TAKE Eng50 with MITER

Completely true about the book and the way she grades.Her grading system is goofy and it works against you. Once your point system drops below an A...there is no way to get higher then a B, even if you score perfect on everything else. Such a hard class for non-transferable units. If you can avoid Miter, then you'll save yourself a headache later.
I dont know if her non hybrid class is a little easier, but dont take her class unless you love to be swamped with things to do with just ONE class. I came into this class feeling neutral about the subject, now I absolutely HATE English. This is just another bad teacher with more than 10 years under her belt.
Tough grader, quizzes do not always contain the material she says to study, helpful to a degree if you go to her office/lab hours.
She is a tough grader, but I felt I learned the most in her class, throughout my 14 years of schooling!
Tough Professor, but really does have the students' best interest in mind. She is very easy to get ahold of and is always willing to help. Tough grader, but gives good comments on how to improve.
Miter fails papers with any errors at all.
she is a horrible professor, shoe does not help when asked, she leaves no room for error, let alone help correct you, drop your class as soon as you can if you get the chance, worst experience i've had in college so far, thanks miter!
If your a DSPS student, stay away from her she will request you to take a the test on a different day vs everyone else who does it during class session. She is hard didn't learn much from her. I mostly got D's from her and get mad or sad every time I walked out from her class. If you like writing take her if you want to move up in eng then don't
Mrs. Miter is the best instructor I have had in my many years of school. She tells you what is expected and will help whenever you ask. I learned so much from her. Wish she were teaching the other English classes I still need to take. She is a fair but firm instructor. If you really want to learn, take her class.
You must follow all of the guidelines for each project, otherwise she will give you an automatic 0 for the project. It may be because the class was hybrid, I just did not like the way she taught.
Overall, she was a very good teacher. I actually learned a lot from her class. She is very strict on grading but that is a good thing since it prepares us for higher college courses in the future. Let me just tell you something procrastinator beware this a rigorous course so be prepared to work hard.She is very fair in grading.
I had Professor Miter in 1995 and went on to receive a MA in English. She taught me most everything I know today. People complain about her because they want an easy ride. She is excellent!
DO NOT TAKE HER! SHE WILL STRESS YOU OUT! Her class makes you feel like you're taking 7 classes!
Carol is AMAZING. I emailed her and asked for advice she sent a huge email back explaining what i needed to do to become successful, not only that but went above and beyond. CLASS is hard, BUT life isnt easy if you want to have an amazing life then you must put forth the effort! CAROL you are amazing and you have taught me so much! thank you!!!!!
She is very difficult if you are taking more than 1 class she makes it hard for you pass, she's very contradicting, and can make this class stressful...beware of her comments; and she will email you a lot
This woman is a nightmare. She's extremely rude, especially through email. She doesn't allow for discussion in class, especially when peer-reviewing. She makes you feel stupid for ever having a question and if you forget any materials, forget about it, you'll be berated on the spot. Seriously, avoid this teacher at all costs.
Very rude. Expects you to know what she's thinking. If you have a busy schedule she does not make it easy on you. Does not allow students to be creative or make mistakes. Well, sorry people actually learn from mistakes. Says she is concerned about teaching but if you are taking her class you are pretty much teaching yourself. Don't take her!!!!!
I would NOT, I repeat NOT take this class! she is so rude and disrespectful. I have trouble in the class and she doesn't help very much. her work and projects are VERY hard. she is not very helpful to me & doesn't care if other people have other things to do, it's either you do an assignment by next class or you fail. I cant wait to leave the class
Amazing professor!Her work is easy you just have to pay attention to directions. if your schedule is that busy, you obviously don't care for your education. and if you ever forget anything just simply talk to her. she always has extra copies or is willing to let you turn in your HW later. I would choose Carol if she taught 1A.
Great teacher if you want to learn.
I legit didn't care about the $300 I spent on her textbook I dropped her class I could not stand her she's so rude to people, contradicts herself, if you ask a question she makes you feel dumb She expects you to make her class the #1 priority in your life, gives hw like you don't have other classes or a job or even a life. Worst teacher I've taken
Carol's hybrid english 50 class is quite difficult- if you're lazy. She warns you right from the beginning, if you can't handle all the work, then the class isn't for you. The work that she gives isn't even difficult. She explains, in full detail, what to do and how to do it. There's really no excuse not to get a decent grade in her class.
Lazy people beware; this class requires work! I wish Carol taught 1A, great professor. She wants you to be successful, but that is up to you! Following directions is key to passing her course. Lots of reading is required, but all the stories have purpose and open your eyes. First Eng. professor who actually taught something, thanks Carol!
I would definitely take her again if i could. Yes she repeats alot but she does it so you will remember. Work with her and she will work with you. however if you skip class more than once or twice with out valid reasons she will drop you with out hesitation
She is a grader, not a teacher. If you ask yourself why the educational system is corrupted, take this class. We had to write an in-class essay on "how to write an essay." Do you know how redundant that is? I would rather write an essay on "Why Miter is a Horrible English Teacher." Rude, cocky, and uncomfortable to be around with. Never again. Ever
Carol Miter is an amazing teacher. Not only was she a their ought teacher but she taught and inspired us to be better people. Every class was a fun and new experience to learn English in a different way. Her techniques and style is simple, yet complex. If you ever need help, she's more than willing to give you a hand. Treat her right.
Carol was by far the greatest English professor I've had the chance of being taught by. She's a tough one, expects a lot from her students, but she genuinely cares about the outcome of her students success. She's blunt and will not hesitate to put you on the spot, so if you are a bit on the sensitive side, you will not enjoy her as a teacher.
She is a tough grader; however, if you follow the assignment guidelines correctly then it will be cake. Do not be afraid to ask questions. Do not skip an assignment. If you are a good student you will enjoy this class; if you are not then don't bother taking it.
She is very rude, makes you write an essay about how to write an essay. Believes her class will be the only class you're taking. Rarely used the second book but makes you buy it.
I would never in my life take this prof again. Always jibber jabbing about this and that. Always talking talking talking. Had to write an essay on how to write an essay. What kind if topic is that? So much work for just a basic english course. She acts like this is the only class in the whole entire world. People got jobs and other classes to do.
I took her class during the Spring session. It is a Hybrid class, so attendance is a must! Starts of tough in the beginning but def calms down towards the end of the semester. Prof Miter cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Pay attention, do the assignments, and you will be fine.
Took her hybrid Eng50 class. Attendance is a must. The class is easy if you put enough time aside to read and study. Would take her again if I could.
Very very tough grader. Wants everything perfect. Honestly, do not I REPEAT DO NOT take this professor. Rude and has you do and extreme amount of work.
If you are a new college student and got placed in English 50 please do yourself and favor and not take this professor. I've been here at norco for two year and have never taken such a ridiculous class such as this one. Professor wants everything done with perfection and graders harder than nails. I don't recommend this professor even in the least.
I could not believe how ridiculous this class was, if you're 1 minute late, I'm not exaggerating, she will lock you out. She grades really harshly and a lot of the time her criticisms didn't make sense, if you ask for clarification I've seen her get angry. Would not recommend to anyone, honestly she seems like a nice lady but as a teacher, no.
I take her hybrid class, she is very condescending even though she tries to give the friendly act. Her grading is precise, if you don't see what she wants in a paper you get a 0. She even stopped grading one of my papers because "I don't want to be condescending" what kind of teacher does that? Her class is also too expensive, don't take this class
Worst prof I've ever taken. She is such a tough grader. If your essay doesn't look like something a professional writter would write its an F. Never again.
This is the worst English professor any college student can have. She changes assignment criteria at the last minute, even though the assignment was assigned the week before. Then she get's mad when we are confused even though it is clearly her fault why we are confused. If your paper does not look professional, she will literally give you a zero.
Carol was by far the worst teacher Ive had at Norco. I would have many questions due to her many typos and format errors in her rubric. She would then send me emails basically asking if I even read it? I do not recommend taking this professor if you are new to norco or need to succeed.
I really did not care for her at first but it all comes together. You will be very prepared by the end of her class!!!
Do the work and attend class and youll be okay.
Im not gonna troll but I will be honest I took her the first week because I was desperately trying to finish English 50. LUCKY I mean LUCKY I dropped ! Trust me he class is crazy I get the fact its hybrid but no need to make it impossible to pass Avoid her all cost !
Very hard prof. Didn't like my writing style and would always get D's. There's a quiz that she gives in class that's based on remembering 9 rules and examples for each one! You mix up a rule for another and you get it wrong! Not even partial credit.
Carol cares about you if you care about her class. Every negative reviewer is just lazy, unmotivated, and looking to earn an easy A with minimal work. If you got a bad grade for your writing, guess what? You probably suck at writing! And you need to improve! I was very motivated in the beginning but slacked off in the end. Still got a B.
Mrs. Miter is a good professor. She cares about her students' success. The class was tough but you have to show up and do the work of course.
If you show up to class and pay attention to the details it is not as hard as others describe. I am not a great writer but I tried and I talked to her before and after class. She is tough but cares if you can follow directions you can pass her class. She is trying to prepare students for the real world, no handholding.
Pretty hard, people say just do the work but it's harder than that. She makes you teach yourself with your own reading of the textbooks, and she tells you what to do online not in class...
This class was more difficult than my ENG1A. There is a paper due every other week. I was glad that this was the only class I had registered for because it was very time-consuming. Tough grader on papers.
Pretty much if you like teaching yourself, this is the class for you. Very discouraging and shes a super tough grader. If you like someone whos very critical, this is the class for you. Your effort doesnt matter.
Miter is an extremely repetitive professor, so be prepared to hear her read aloud the syllabus 4+ times. She raises her voice to students and gives to class room a discourading feel. I will not take her again and do not recommend unless her teaching methods change.
The first couple weeks in Carol miter class I was having second thoughts about being there I didnt have a good feeling about her just the way she was and the way she did things but once the weeks went by I knew I couldn't have had a better professor I'm a better writer because of her. Give her a chance she'll win you over.
Very repetitive (for things that don't need to be repeated) & talkative. Often unclear with what she wants in an assignment, sometimes expects you to be a mind reader. Will email you when you're absent and tell you how you can drop the class because she doesn't have patience. Not a mean professor, but could be a little less off putting.
Worst professor ever. She was my last option for an English 1a because all the others where full. Grades very hard, too many assignments, does not help at all, gets angry when you ask for clarifications and will not clarify actually. She always threatens to drop students from her class
Honestly the worst professor. On the first assignment back most people were getting 20's and 30's out of 100. I would recommend never taking her class.
Miter was there for the first half of the semster and unfortunately got sick. When she was there we would enter the class, sit down, and basically talk about nothing. Not trying to be disrespectful towards her but it wasn't till our substitues for the remender of the year came in where we all actually started participating and gaining information.
Being in Carol Miter's class was dreadful. I did not learn a single thing from her. Class was always unproductive. Always speaking jargon. She required us to purchase two books. I did not use a single one. She would require students to bring textbooks to class be we would never work on them. Do yourself a favor and do not take Carol Miter's class.
