LOTS OF WRITING.
She seemed confused on what she was doind and I didn't learn anything from her class.
Awesome Teacher, actually cares, easy to do well
She was very understanding and helpful.
She is a great teacher who is willing to go that extra mile to help with anything! She loves to help the students! If you get the chance take one of her classes
Great teacher, great person, funny. Take her class if you can.
She helps anyone who respects her!
This professor is awesome, she really cares about her students. She has the students make a spelling list over the semester that really helps you become a better speller. She is the best!
This is probably one of the best teachers I've had at Saddleback. She is kind, polite, fair, and funny! She goes out of her way to help students any way that she can. I respect her a great deal and would love to take a class with her again! AAA+++!!!
Extremely knowledgeable in field of journalism. Motivated. Excellent ability to draw class participation. Overall enjoyable class.
Whoever goes to Saddleback needs to transfer.
It was a enjoyable course, she teaches well, and pretty clear to follow.
Carol was an awesome teacher. She made the class fun and was incredibly helpful! I would recommend this class to anyone taking english.
if you got a C or better an any of you high school or college coarses, you will get an A in her class. way easy
Ms. Ziehm is one of my favorites at Saddleback. She is a teacher who loves her job and her students. She'll go to any extent to help you. She's a great person w/ a great heart. And on top of that, her class is fun and very easy!
The course was somewhat less challenging than I had anticipated, but Carol's teaching was helpful and her desire to be fair, honest, and down to earth with her students is commendable.
A great teacher. Thoughtful and involved. Actually cares about her students and whether or not they do well or not. Teaches you to write in a concise matter. Overall a wonderful teacher.
Ms.Ziehm was a great teacher with great knowledge on what she taught. Not only did she make english fun but, she also really helped me improve my writing. She really showed compassion to her students and passed on a yearning to learn for all of us.
Constant support and understanding with the brains to keep us motivated and in-tune with each other. This is an amazing teacher. The reading is dry at times, but the essays in the beginning are really fun! Don't lose your yellow card! Good luck!
She is a great teacher with a great heart. She cares for students and she is very helpful.I learned a lot in her class.If you want to learn how to write, take her class. She is very friendly and you have a lot of fun.
She is the best.
Awsome teacher, it's obvious to tell that she loves to teach and she loves her students. Her personality is a little wierd, but shes way cool. if you want an awsome english teacher, take Ziehm.
easy.....PERIOD
such a nice teacher who really likes her job and is helpful
Excellent teacher, class is fairly easy if you attend class and keep up on the short readings
excellent teacher, freindly, and very very helpful, she's the best lab instructors
Outstanding teacher, Enjoyed her teaching structure, more than willing to help any student with anything, very respectful. Recommend taking her class
i think carol came on this site and added the good reviews, becasue i took her class and she SUCKS, terrible in every way-- you could learn more from a Barney Video-- Blues clues is deffinatly out of her reach though
The person who wrote that last review obviously didn't even make an effort in class.Carol has you make your own permanent spelling list..so that you don't make silly spelling errors over and over.She's a great prof,a wonderful person and a good friend.
Great teacher, very understanding and helpful. Willing to take class time to talk to you about anything English related. Wish that she'd teach Eng 1A and 1B.
I wish she would teach 1A and 1B as well. She is always friendly and happy. I've had teachers who were often in a sour mood. Ziehm is a breath of fresh air. Always remember to show her respect! She deserves it!
Carol is awesome! She makes everything clear and loves to help her students. Easy if you go to class
As a returning student after 25+ years, I thought I was going to have to learn Greek. However, she made it so much fun that I would strongly recommend her to older working adults. She does talk rather loud, but keeps everyone awake with her cute sense of humor. She is dedicated, and committed to all
I have never met a teacher as amazing as her. She has a passion to teach, and such a want to get to know her students. She helps as best she can by sacrificing most of her time. She has a wonderful sense of humor, and inspires you to write. This class is more than a class.
Carol was an awesome teacher. She kept class very interesting. Just don't miss a lot of her classes because that is the one way you will get a bad grade in the class. Show up often and you will most likley get an A!
great teacher,was recomended by Cheryl Altman
Simply the BEST.
eastiest frickin professor in the world. very helpful always willing to give a hand. a daily journal of like 6pgs everyother line, its a breeze. easy mid-term and final. just one book to read thats interesting and at times not interesting. i recommend her for anyone thats not into english, cuz its an A/B, just show up and act like your payin' atten
SUCH A GREAT LADY!! her class is very organized. you do the same routine every day, but every day is fun and interesting. you have a journal which is a free write and worth a lot of points...very easy! WOULD DEFINITELY TAKE HER AGAIN ...BEST TEACHER
Super easy and a very nice person overall. As long as you get started early on the term project to give yourself a lot of time (oops!) you should be able to just breeze through this class.
Nice teacher-very helpful-very clear-she will help you if you have any questions-highly recommend her!
The class is cool and easy to take! A lot of music, videos and other fun stuff. To get an A, attend class (it really matters) and read book. Term project is really cool if you like any mass-media nitche. Exams are open-book, open-note. Carol is also a very nice person, wants to know each student personally and cares about everyone.
She is an awesome teacher! She`s class is very fun and very easy.However,she`s class essay is all inclass essay,but she never grading.(by the way,Im ESL student)
Carol is one of the best teachers i have ever had. she made journalism interesting. she is very encouraging and hilarious! she brings journalism to life with her examples and she makes class fun to go to. just show up every day, and do your work and it will be a breeze
Carol is a great teacher. Attendance is a must to get a good grade. She really cares about her students and the topic she teaches.
She is great! Take the class! I learned soooo much and this has been one of the best classes I have taken at Saddleback...she is sweet and the work load is very light!! You'll love it..promise! If you are planning on getting into journalism you will greatly benefit from this course..and you'll even want to keep the text book and not return it for $
Very friendly professor. I enjoy most her sound doctrine and stunning attention to detail.
Love love love her! Probably the easiest class ever and she is really funny too. Loves the Beatles. Amaaazing.
Attendance is Mandatory!!!!!!!!!! Your writing skills will greatly improve after taking this course. Attendance is Mandatory!!!!
One of the best teachers I ever had.Really nice lady.Teaches well.Loves music,even lets you listen to your own head phones during class, and tests.
Come to class on time. Stay on top of the readings and assignments. Don't plagarize or else she'll hunt you down. Come to class with a open mind and listen to your classmates and trust me, you'll learn something. Carol is great so don't mess with her cause she's very good at what she is doing.
This was an easy class. Carol loves her students and loves Journalism. You use the Stylebook for nongraded spelling tests and the news writing book for small quizzes. The midterm is open note, no final, two projects. If you want to improve your writing/grammar skills or love journalism take this class! The class went to Rubys on our final day! =)
I love her. She is a big time USC fan. She is easy on her tests. The only bad thing about her is the journal writting 7 pages.
Great Teacher!
ummmm the only A+ ive ever gotten in an english class. shes funny, SUPER CARING, loves her students, easy easy easy easy. and cheatings easy... but shes really fun, loving, and if you like cant make it to a test she'll figure out something good for you. love carollll<3
SHE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR IN SADDLEBACK, VERY HELPFULL AND VERY NICE AND EAAASYYY TESTS, I LOVED HER , <33333
She is one of my favorite professors at Saddleback! She always answers questions and she is extremely helpful. Her class is fun and you will learn a lot from it. I would definitely take her again for another class!
Carol is really an amazing teacher. She really cares about her students and their success. I had missed about 2-3 weeks of class for personal reasons, and explained to her why. She let me catch up, and even though I didn't catch up entirely, I still got an A in the class. One of the best teachers at Saddleback. Definitely learned a lot.
I have taken Carol for 2 semesters now, once for English 300 and now for English 200. I love her. She seems more of a friend then a teacher. I think sometimes people take advantage of her, which is sad but she's so sweet she just gives in. She is awesome and I would recommened her to anyone! I will miss her very much! :)
A wonderful teacher with a big heart. Carol cares about each and every student that walks into her class room. Her classes are fun! I always looked forward to her class. Take her!!!
Best journalism professor at saddleback! easy tests, clear and easy papers. She loves her job and it shows. She very helpful and very understanding.
She is simply the best!!!! Good teacher and friend!!! You must be extremely stupid to get C or lower.RECOMMEND!!!
she is extremely the best. she is awsome.
If you like the Beetles then you will love her class. She is one of the best out there
Carols' class is a must take. I loved it. She actually made me love english, which is something I was never thrilled about before. Take it!!!
SHE IS AMAZING!!!! She truly cares about her students! We need more people like her in the world! hands down the most humble person I have ever met in my life! class was very easy and she keeps you entertained!
Her lesson plan is the same each day for the entire semester, which consists of: a spelling test, 5 questions of the grammer reading (didn't even read and got them all right), you read this really intresting book and take a 5 question quiz on it (once again super easy) and you write how it relates to you in a journal that she provides. shes a goof!
She is a great Journalism teacher and she clearly enjoys it. By the end of the semester she wants you to realize if journalism should be your career path. She actually cares about her students and tries really hard to get you an A. She passed every student in my class and brings relevant issues to discuss. Take her if you can!
Carol is one of the best english teachers here at saddleback!! She has a big heart, and for those who struggle with english, SHE IS A BIG HELP! As people have mentioned, she has a structured class, and the material she wants you to know is basically "COMMON SENSE". So just be there and participate and actually read, and its a easy A.
She is the BEST teacher of all since she has so much humor. Of course, she is of a HUGE help when asking questions. She explains everything in detail! I just LOVE her class. Definitely recommend taking her class for ENG 300!! Just be on time for class and you'll be alright.
After reading her reviews I was really excited to take this class&I loved journalism.I have never been so wrong.She teaches remedial eng & thats how she teaches her jrn class.You learn nothing about jrn and its all spelling & grammar.Im not bitter,I have an A.But she is one of the worst teachers I have EVER had.If you like jrn dont take this class!
She is an awesome teacher, and I think the person below me is just a boring person who can't handle a little fun and "English" excitement. I HATE English, still to this day however Carole helped me SO much and cared for all her students. She is a very respectable and awesome person and teacher. Thanks Carole for getting me through English with an A
To the person who wrote on Nov. 6. You are so wrong. you think grammar doesn't matter? I'm at CSUF now, and if you make ONE AP Style mistake, you get marked down 10pts for berros. Carol is a great teacher, she makes you a better writer! AP style is so tedious and annoying, but you better get used to it, or no one will take you serious!
She is the best!!! very easy class, she is willing to help. Very nice teacher. You will love her and you will pass this class...easy A.
SHE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST.. YOU WILL EASILY IMPROVE YOUR REDING AND WRITING SKILLS HER METHODS REALLY WORKS.. SHE WILL DO EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING TO HELP YOU GET AN "A" =)
excellent!!! I got an "A"
Ziehm is an awesome teacher! She's so cool and is really friendly with everyone.
She is super cool! I love her !!! She actually tries to help you and she will do anything to help you get an A :)
SHE IS AMAAZIIINNNG! I LOVE HER! she actually does anything possible for you to get an A!!! if you want an A and need help in english i recommend her!!
GREAT teacher! You will be happy with her but don't be lazy GO TO CLASS!!!!
Super easy class. I got an A
very good teacher and efficient methods of getting students interested in writing. Her passion for english is very encouraging and makes the class fun, shes a teacher to remember:)
Mrs. Ziehm ROCKS! In addition to the class being easy, she is nice and a great friend. Anyone who has to take English 300 or 200,she is teacher for you
LOVE CAROL! Shes the best. easiest teacher ive had so far and is super passionate about teaching! give her your full attention! she deserves it!
Professor Ziehm was a WONDERFUL teacher. She made sure you knew the material by making the class fun and interactive. She always had a smile on her face and I knew she loved teaching this class. Pay attention, take notes and Listen, Listen Listen and you'll do great!
One of the Best English professor in Saddleback College.
She is very helpful and a really great professor. It's also an easy class to pass with a good grade just show up. Highly recommended.
There is 5 question test at the beginning of each class over the material you were supposed to read at home. If you read and show up every time you should get an A. When it comes to essays she only does essays that the department requires. She will explain everything until you understand it. She is a tough grader on essays and a grammar Nazi.
I loved professor Ziehm! She's so funny and her class is actually a lot of fun. It's one of the few classes I didn't have to stress about. Wasn't any homework, only major assignment we had was an 8 page paper. The paper was super easy and actually so funhelpful to do. Definitely take her class if you want to be entertained and get an A :)
class was relatively easy. we had one long paper (8-page interview) and one midterm. Unfortunately we didn't watch than many movies as I expected. we watched a lot of youtube videos though. don't buy the new book buy the old one it's a little different but gets the job done
She wants students to succeed. One way students can succeed is to get there books and bring them to class. She wants students to read before coming to class.
Professor Ziehm is the best. She is so caring and is fair and kind to every one of students. She is a very easy teacher and if you go to class and do what she asks you will pass no matter what. There is one essay that is 8-10 pages but don't let this stop you from taking her. The essay turns out to be really educational and helps with your career.
It's an easy A,but not a lazy A. She is really nice and here lectures can be very entertaining sometimes. Just showing up to class gives you points. The daily quizzes are annoying,but if you read or even skim through the book you should have no problem with it. The essays aren't hard. The midterm and final easy also.
Ziehm is an amazing professor. She is very helpful, and cares for her students. The book we read was very interesting. She is clear about what to expect for mid-terms and finals. Definitely recommend !
It's not easy because she's easy, it's easy because her personality and teaching style makes you want to learn! I used to be bad at English, getting low grades in the classes, but I finished this class with an A! I actually tried because she's just that awesome. I highly recommend her if English classes were always your weak point in high school.
Her class is easy and I learned a lot about Morrie's story. I did all the work she required and I did not miss anything but she only give me a "B+" on my final grade. I ask her to round my grade to an "-A" since I am very close of getting it but she said "No". Now all my work and effort in her class is useless. I thought she's nice.
She is very up beat and fun. The carriculum isn't bad and most quizzes don't count for a grade, just participation. She is such a sweet lady. I would take definitely recommend taking her class.
I LOVE PROFESSOR ZIEHM! she truly cares about her students and her eng200 class is so easy. she is always willing to help you out to try and improve your grade, such an awesome teacher. I recommend her to everyone
Love her! super easy class, easier than my HS english classes! Take her !!!
Carol is one of the coolest professors I've had. There are five question quizzes almost every class, but as long as you read the chapters assigned, you can easily get an A. Not a hard class at all. My only complaint is that after the quiz, she lectures on the same material you just read, which is not terrible unless you have ADD, like me.
Took her for english 200 and was literally the easiest professor ever. She really cares for her students. She is not a hard grader, but do read the book and textbook she assigns because she does little five question quizzes that are easy if you read. I recommend taking her. If she had a English 1A I would take her.
We only read one book throughout the year, very simple quizzes on each assigned readings. She is such a sweet lady, but don't take advantage of her. Easy class to pass, just put effort and she is very picky about essays and your grammar skills.
Class was straightforward and a easy A. We were graded on a few things, but the most difficult thing was our semester long research project. (Which is a requirement for nearly all CTVR/JRN1.) She is a very fair grader, and goes out of her way to get to know her students. If you show up, do the project in time, and participate you should easily pass
Having her as a professor was a really fun experience. I would definitely recommend taking her class.
ENG 200: Absolutely an amazing teacher. I was out of school for 6 years because of the military and she got me right back into the swing of things. Her lectures are engaging and the classwork is easy if you pay attention. She also cares a ton about her students, and will treat you as an adult as long as you act like one. 5/5
Id choose Mrs. Ziehm again. Because she makes sure we all get to learn something new hat we didnt know before about English. ANd writing sentences. Id recommend students at saddleback college to take her as your professor because shes very good at the job she does. As herslf as a teacher and to make sure her students learn.
she was so nice and definitely I would like a class with her again.
Ziehm is the best! She cares so much for her students and she makes sure we learn so much about the material.
This class was so easy! There are short quizzes everyday either on spelling, grammar, or the book we had to read. We also had to journal and you can leave early if you finish. The midterm & final were easy too. Definitely take Carol if you can!!
such a nice teacher who made class funny and enjoyable. I took her a few years back and still recommend her class to others taking English courses. Also read tuesdays with Maury which was so amazing and a great read.. take her if you can
