She is an intersting teacher but very dedicated and will always help you out if you need it.

I have really enjoyed her class. She explains everything answers all questions, and is always ready to help you on a paper or what ever you have to do. I think i will try to take her next semester :)

Dr. Mattord is really passionate for the classes she teaches. Everything is very clear and she is always happy to help with anything you might need. It's impossible to not get an A in her class if you show up and take her advise on writing. I would definatly reccomend her to anyone who wants a good english grade.

Not an easy A. You will be lucky to get a C in the class. Quiz everyday on reading, must attended class, two 8 page research papers on the most stupid things ever. 3 more "side" papers. Grades hard. The class is also a lecture style. She only answers so many questions bc the class is so hard and she knows no one understands it. Do not take her!!!!

Dr. Mattord is tough but you will learn SO much from her. 2 essays, 2 research papers, weekly quizzes. She is extremely knowledgeable on the writing process. A MUST take class!

As long as you come to class and pay attention to what she says then you shouldn't have a problem passing her class. I took the Hybrid version and it was so easy I forgot I was taking English at times! I recommend her if you want to really learn what college professors are looking for in essays

Good Teacher. She knows what shes talking about. Some assignments are unclear, but she is always available for help on assignments and essays.

I got an A in this class. It is tough but if you work hard you will learn a lot. I believe her class taught me to write far better than before which has made all essays in all other classes much easier. I always get As on essays now.

Not a hybrid class but sure feels like it. She is very nice and loves to help. I didn't think she graded too hard. Gives you the grade to deserve. Going to class is a drag because she just lectures and its boring but its the english department's policy to have mandatory attendance. Not easy but not too hard. Effort will be reflected in your grade.

Terribly strict grading. I'm not even sure what she wants out of essays because I got a 65% on my first essay, but I got a 5 on the AP Language and Composition exam and a perfect score on the ACT writing. Also this is a hybrid course and there are a lot of assignments to keep up with (approximately 3-4 per week.)I wish I dropped out when I could.

Dr. Mattord is knowledgeable about her class. Nice lady.She gives you exactly what you need to succeed. Must learn to write in the specific way she wants to do well. class was not very stressful as long as you adapt to her writing style. She is always willing to help, and she can tell who wants to succeed in her class and strives to help them most.

English has never been my best subject but Dr. Carola did a great job in teaching the course. If you follow the directions and simple outlines she gives for writing the essays, you will make an easy A.

Good teacher. She explains exactly how she wants the paper in class and gives you time to write it during class. As long as you are on time with the quizzes and write the paper the way she wants it, you will get an A. Take her!

I received a poor grade on my first essay. Yes, she is strict on grading but she will make you a better writer. I usually made A's/B's in prior classes, but I now realize how terrible of a writer I was beforehand. She's amazing and really helpful if you go see her during office hours. Easy if you put in effort, you'll learn to be a better writer.

12 Online quizzes using the text book. Professor is nice and willing to help. Attendance is very important to her, and there are two 5 page papers due. She does give you a study guide for the midterm and final.

Dr. Mattord is an excellent professor. She WANTS you to succeed in becoming a better writer. She will teach you methods you will use in all of your classes (that require papers). Tips: Attend all classes, read ahead, participate in class dicussions (she is not judgemental), & follow rubric. I repeated 1102 glad I took her.

I was nervous reading the other ratings for Professor Mattord prior to taking her class. Although she is not necessarily approachable, she is very structured and organized: lecture, rough draft, peer review, and turn it in and move on. She gives you time to work on everything in class and as long as you utilize her office hours you will succeed!

Good teacher. Grades a bit harsh, but won't fail you at all. My friend got high C's and he loosely put his essays together the day before. Lots of class time to work on rough draft, comp plans, and peer reviews. She reviews rough draft before you submit next time for grade. Need textbook for easy, online, take-home quizzes.

Dr. Mattord is dry and a bit boring, but very very helpful. She gives you plenty of time to write your papers, does a peer review and edits them herself for every one before you turn your final draft in. Grades a bit harsh, but still a good class.

Very clear instuctions. She wants you to succeed and will meet outside of office hours. There are 3 3-4 pg reading responses, a few online homework quizzes, and a 6 pg research paper. I highly suggest the hybrid class. Class isn't that difficult, I wrote most of the papers the day before and got A's. Lectures are long but helpful.

she's a weird lady but she does mean well. if you get on her good side and go to her for help, SHE WILL HELP YOU. she's one of those professors that wants you to do well and succeed. reading quizzes, two research papers, 2 exams (midterm and final), attendance grade.

Professor Mattord cares about you and your grade and is always willing to help you. Two research papers (5 pages) but get combined into one grade. Online quizzes but open note and fairly easy. Readings but they're interesting and you talk about them in class. Mid-term and final exam but gives you study guide. Great professor would take again.

She kicks you out of class if you do not bring hard copies of your papers for peer review and gives you a zero so that's not fun and she also grades very harshly. She is obviously interested in the students and is willing to help and is definitely knowledgeable on the subject but the papers are so hard to get an A on.

VERY HARD GRADER. Great person. Very helpful, especially if she can see you're trying. Go to office hours and she will be more lenient. Notes on papers make NO sense and she doesn't explain well.

Even though Dr. Mattord is sometimes a tough grader, she gives detailed feedback and is very clear about what she expects. If you put forth an honest effort and turn in quality writing, you will get a good grade in the class. Also, she's really nice and approachable!

This is an easy A unless you're lazy. Requires 2 anthology books that arent that expensive. Read from those books and take open book online quizzes that are super easy. Only 1 day of lecturing, the other 2 days are live readings or presentations. Kind of boring but an easy class

I took this class as part of university requirements. I ended up learning a lot of useful information about writing and writing styles. The professor knows the topic extremely well. If you can, buy the writing references textbook. It includes vital information you will use for years when writing college papers. Don't procrastinate your papers

Very friendly professor and an easy class, she makes the work as easy as possible while still making you think a little.

Gives you plenty of excused absences for the semester but attendance is still mandatory. Lectures aren't torture because she makes it fun and asks questions. Only four 3-page essays for the course and the last one is your final. A couple of quizzes on a chapter you read in a textbook but don't use the book besides that. Pretty easy A if participate

Dr. Mattord is a great professor. She doesn't put up wth any crap or nonsense - phones are strictly prohibited - but she gives great feedback on all assignments and it's apparent she wants her students to succeed. Class consists of four papers, a handful of quizzes based on the chapter readings (you can pass these w/out reading) and participation.

If you struggle in English class I highly recommend taking her classes as you will leave her class knowing more or having learned a new skill. She gives her expectations clearly and if you follow them you shall receive your proper credit.

She has a lot of passion for her subject and really makes things easy to understand. She also makes her students feel comfortable coming to her. Overall great class.

I'm surprised she has an average rating... She's definitely a top tier teacher! All the tests are straightforward and based off her lectures/readings. We have group discussions (participation pts) and easy quizzes every week. There is 1 research project in addition to the tests, but it's very doable. She's very knowledgeable and sweet! Ec availab.

She's a really caring Professor, who is very easy to contact, and she does respond quickly. Attendance is mandatory, and she is pretty clear on that. Come to class and take good notes, she gives extra credit, but it requires going to museums.

Make sure you do your online quizzes and discussion threads! Don't respond to classmates with b.s., because she can smell b.s. from a mile away. Her class isn't hard if you do what she says, fall behind though and you'll get swamped.

Definitely keep up with weekly discussions boards and small 10 question lock down quizzes that you have two chances to take. It's really not that hard of a class there is some group work and extra credit opportunity, definitely get the textbooks. she is quick to respond to emails. study her study guides for the test and you'll do fine

I took this class online for the summer 2020 semester. As an incoming freshman, I was scared. Dr. Mattord is a real gem! She is very sweet, knows what she is talking about, and my entire class was based off of Disney. I would definitely recommend her! I took her online, so I don't know how she would be for actual lectures.

I really enjoyed this class. All Tests are open note including midterm and final. Class was mandatory. Records lectures. A lot of reading but the readings weren't that long. She responds fast to emails. 1 quiz a week which was very easy. We had an assigned group for the whole semester that we did assignments together which was very helpful .

The tests were take home and had a week to do it. If you read the texts, you will do just fine. Quizzes once a week and group work once a week. Not a difficult grader at all. There was one research paper and 3 tests. Nothing in the class was difficult, just do all of the work on time and you should be able to get an A.

She is super sweet and understanding. The class is very straight forward and easy. She helps you with essays and the quizzes are simple if you do the reading every other week. This class is an essay class, but it's super easy because she lays it all out for you and does many participation grades to help.

If you show up to class you will for sure pass with a high grade. Make sure not to miss a single class and you will do fine. She helps with essays in class.

Dr. Mattord's class is easy if you show up, listen, and participate. There are four essays and an open response final that is open note. She gives wonderful feedback on every essay and loves when you interact in her class. Easy quizzes each week and she gives you time to work on your essays in class.

Gave us four essays over the semester and some quizzes from each of the textbooks. Buy the textbooks from the bookstore so you have it and don't have the wrong one. Lectures are mostly focused on the structure of each type of essay and they can be boring but have a lot of good info. Will be more than happy to answer any other questions you have

Professor Mattord has high expectations for the class. She can be nice, but if you aren't a good student, she doesn't have time for it. She is a tough grader, but outlines what she expects for the final paper and project. During class, if you have questions about your paper, she is more than happy to look at it.

It takes true effort to fail this class!! She is extremely enthusiastic about Literature. She assigns group work every week and there is 1 discussion and quiz each week. Each quiz gets 2 attempts, but they are extremely easy. There is 1 term paper, which is easy as well. Definitely take her if you can!!

I LOVE PROFESSOR MATTORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! she is so kind and her class is very fun. Our essay topics are interesting and fun! She grades fairly and sets you up for success. Good feedback on essays. Weekly quizzes based on the textbook, but not difficult at all. You should definitely take the course, and I will be taking her next semester too! <<<

I think that she is an amazing teacher because she is very passionate and professional towards her job, but also she can get mad if you ask silly questions. English is my third language, so I always found it difficult to study it, but I had improved a lot in her class because her explanation is quite simple. So, I took her again for ENGL 1102.

This is the second class that I took of her, and I plan on taking another class. She is quite professional and passionate about the things she teaches. As long as you pay attention and communicate properly, you will easily pass her class. I was failing her class due to my absences, but clear communication and hard work landed me an A.

She knows a lot about the subjects she is teaching! sometimes she can seem a little harsh but with communication, the class can be pretty easy as she responds quickly. She does change things last minute sometimes and there was a lot of reading but the content was actually interesting. Also helped a lot with my research skills!

She knows what she's talking about there is not doubt about it. She can tend to go off topic during her lectures and she can get passive aggressive with her students. I had no problem because she made me a better writer and understood composition better which I struggled with. Take her for the criticism so you can get the most from her class.

She's big on teaching content through lectures; she can be somewhat critical, which can be awkward, but it's very constructive and you'll learn a good bit regarding composition. Eccentric but very passionate about English. If my work schedule permitted I'd take her for 1102.

From what you might hear, this professor is very odd and a little crazy, but she is caring and her class is overall pretty easy. I wouldn't take this class in person if you don't have to because it is extremely boring and no point of being their because of her repetition explaining, but the class itself was not bad and she is flexible with grading.

Professor Mattord can be strict, but her clear explanations and essay feedback make the class manageable. Attending every lecture and using unstuck ai for study prep helped me succeed in this course.

Great would recommend, will help you in the long run.

Her class was pretty easy, there are a lot of papers you have to write but she doesn't grade harsh. The lectures were a tad random and didn't have much to do with our assignments. I would definitely take her again just because her class was easy to comprehend and the assignments were reasonable!

Her class was fairly easy, only 3 essays and easy assignments throughout the semester. Attendance is not required, but she does give credit for showing up. Her lectures were just her explaining what was already in the textbook, so it was sort of boring at times. She can also come off passive aggressive but she is a solid professor
