She's so much fun and a wonderful teacher!

One of the few teachers I know who actually wants an answer to the question, "how are you doing?" Her informal aproach to class allows everyone to express their opinions. She had several pet peeves on grading, which makes her a hard teacher

Great lady! I learned so much from her. She is approachable, yet she still presents a challenge.

Great teacher! Learned so much from her class. I am a much better writer today because of her class. A+++

Best prof. I had EVER!

She is so personal and caring!

Carolyn is the greatest teacher at LU. She is like a second mom when your away from home. Even after a few years she is still interested in your life. And if you ever want to catch her off gaurd just ask her if she touched your butt.

Amazing woman and great teacher. The last entry... disregard. I highly recommend Towles to anyone willing to learn.

Little disturbed by the hot eyes mention. Towely is the coolest and you'll learn a heck of a lot in her class. She has the darkest sense of humor ever, but she does tend to play favorites. If you're a favorite, that's awesome...but if not, well it's not like she'll grade you down or anything.

Towles is AWESOME! Like a mother- caring, thoughtful, and is very helpful! I learned SO much from this class and I'm so thankful. She is the greatest- so disregard the ONE bad comment about her. Who knows that that's about- probably someone who wanted a free A and didn't get it. This class took hard work!

Best prof.!!!

SHe was a very sweet professor and EXTREMELY interesting! She's very friendly, and i'm thinking that may be why some people see her as "a flirt". I didn't see that at all. She's very nice & likes to tease people. i enjoyed this class a lot. I would recomend her to anyone who will actually GO to class and wants to learn how to write well!

One of those teachers who make all the bad stuff about school worth it.

She is an amazing teacher. She's hard and will work you hard, but her classes are the best!!!!

Shes not easy but shes an amazing teacher!

Mrs. Towles was my inspiration for becoming an English teacher...she was incredible. On the first day of class she had memorized all 38 of our names by the end of the hour. She is hilarious and entertaining, and teaches the material very well. I loved her class....so sad I only could get into one of hers.

Great teacher overall... very sarcatic which is right up my alley! I put in a lot of time and effort and got a good grade, plus I learned a ton about writing a good paper. I like her much more than her husband! lol

Mrs Towles straight rocked, not only is she very intelligent and funny shes very compassionate and actually takes time to learn about students and their lives. One of the best professors i had and i was not even an english major. Rock on Mrs Towles

Love this woman!

She lives up to her name "Paper Natzi." She loves papers but she will help you with them. She is one of the best English teachers I have ever had.

She is my favorite teacher here because she makes me work for my grade and she cares about us as people not just students. She is the best ever!

My favorite english prof!! Her classes are usually full by the time athletes and honor students enroll, but if you have a chance to get a seat, go for it!

shes an amazing teacher and you really learn alot.

wow, this woman is amazing. i had her at 8am and she kept it interesting and interactive, which is astounding to me. she will teach you to write perfect papers, which is fantastic, because i can write papers for other classes so easily now!!!

Great professor and lady. Willing to work with you and help you with assignments. Quizzes are done daily and with every reading that she assigns. Test are long but not that hard if you study. Great Engl professor and her class is quite an experience. You should take her.

AMAAAAZING teacher.

She's witty. Fun to pick on, she picks back, etc. She's really strict, and really hard, and requires a lot of work. The exams and quizzes were really hard. If you're an overachiever, you'll love her class. If you're like me, though, you'll have a hard time remembering who wrote which stories when the time for test-taking comes around.

She is an AMAZING teacher! I went into her class not really knowing how to write good papers and hating English with a passion but she completely changed my mind. She is funny and keeps your attention. She is also very helpful and loves her job. She is an excellent teacher and LU needs more professors like her! :)

She is not easy but she is clear about what she wants and how she wants it to be done. It is easy to make a good grade with her if you do your homework, take notes, and ask her for help.

Mrs. Towles is absolutely AMAZING. I absolutely love her. She knows how to challenge you, but she is ALWAYS there to help you. She's just awesome. I definitely recommend her. She's a lot of work, but it pays off. I can't be positive enough about her!!

Mrs. Towles is incredible. She loves what she teaches and it shows. She is so much fun to be around and is regularly available at her office. Highly recommended.

Good times..

It's not a blow-off class, but it certainly isn't bad. Even in a 7:40 a.m. class, it was easy to stay awake and listen. She's really funny and nice (also a proud-of-it Texan :) ); I would recommend her.

She is very funny, and understanding.

Very challenging; lots of papers! Overall Good Class!

Tough but good class. Fair grading, good teacher.

Mrs.Towles is an amzing professor. she is hard, but i genuinly interested in helping the students learn to their full capacity. i absolutly love and have the upmost respect for her!!

Amazing!

She's awesome! You all should take her.

Amazing teacher! I would recommend her to anyone! Easy to understand and fun.

I loved this English class. Quizzes are EASY if you just read. I usually read right before class or as I'm in there, and I get 100's on them. Show up to class, do your work, and ask for help on the papers if you need it.

She was very difficult, but an amazing teacher. Loved her!

Mrs. Towles is not the easiest teacher you will come across, but she will make sure you are learning your material, and if choose not to, she will intimidate you to XD. I loved her Texan accent and her sense of humor. A very fun teacher and if you can get past the fact that her class won't be exactly a walk in the park per se, you will learn much.

I really learned a lot in this class and enjoyed it too for the most part. She is a great teacher with a sense of humor. Keeps u on ur toes. There is a LOT of writing and easy quizzes in this class-like something's do almost every single class, but u learn a lot. Definitely recommend her!! If u work hard, u'll be fine.

She's a great teacher. She doesn't make the class easy, but it's worth it.

Mrs. Towles is a funny professor. I have not had any problems yet. I don't know where everyone gets their opinions but I highly recommend her for a professor.

Highly suggest taking Towles. She is funny and keeps you paying attention but does not bore you. Grades really depend on your GSA in 101 but the lecture class with Towles is fun. Very good professor!

I actually really liked Mrs. Towles.The class isn't even that hard. You just have to do the work and if you're not a great writer, that's what your GSA's are for. So, for the person who failed, he/she probably didn't turn in a paper or plagiarized what he/she did turn in. Plus, in 101 you're with your GSA the majority of the time anyways. Good prof

mrs. towles is AMAZING!!! she is definitely a hard teacher in comparison to others, but she really cares about her students. if you go to her for assistance, she'll help. when i completed every one of her classes with good grades, i felt like i had accomplished so much. she made me WANT to work hard. :)

She was a great prof, I would definitely recommend her for any freshman taking English 101!

She's a great teacher, explains things clearly, and has a good sense of humor. I would definitely recommend her class. You will write quite a few essays, but she helps you through them step-by-step. Its not an easy A, but its worth taking and will improve your essay writing overall.

Funny prof.

Not hard. Good prof. I'd recommend her.

Anyone who spells "favorites" improperly should not state that Mrs. Towles has them. She's one of the best professors I've had, not to mention, she's understanding when REAL problems interfere with class performance.

Want to learn to be a good writer? Take Towles. Her feedback is critical, constructive, and beneficial to you as a writer. Great professor. On a personal level she can be harsh and brutally honest, but academically she's the best of the best.

Good professor who teaches you to write papers well. There are many papers to write, but it's not a boring class. I recommend her.

Mrs. Toweles was really nice. She's sarcastic which makes things funny sometimes in the large group classes. I didn't learn much from the large group classes, however, because we were REALLY taught in our small group class with a GA. My GA, Ms. Hamren, was awesome. Really clear, concise, and helpful. Used to hate writing & now I like it!

She was okay I think. I mean, her class required a lot of work, but it was easy work. However, it was time-consuming. It was hard for me to devote all of the time I would have like to devote to the class because of all my other courses. My GSA was very nice. Overall, it was a very easy class if you just do what you are supposed to do.

u have so many papers when i say a lot i mean alot & she grades hard & she puts the fire under her ga's so they grade hard 2 this is not an easy class u must do what mrs. towles says wyhen she says it and how she saids it and if u dont you WILL FAIL u must turn in every paper or u WILL fail she is NO joke this is not a joke other than that u r fine

Mrs. Twoles is amazing. She's an awesome teacher, and I love her sense of sarcasm. The difficulty level depends on whether or not you enjoy writing. My GSA, Mrs. Hamren was the absolute best ever. I loved having her for a teacher, and it really strengthened my writing ability. Both teachers were awesome.

This class is pretty easy, but reeeeeally time-consuming. You have to attend every class if you want to do well because there is always something due. Quizzes are honestly pretty tough. You really need to study the books. Longest paper we wrote was three and a half pages. Not very hard.

I think I killed at least 50 trees. The number of papers you have to write and print out is ridiculous. This class is more time consuming than all of your others combined. She is a very nice lady but her class is too much.

I really enjoyed her class. She was a hard teacher but I learned so much more by taking the class.

Mrs. Towles is fun and a good teacher. She gives tough quizzes and you have to do alot of papers.

Mrs. Towles is entertaining, but it is the luck of the draw with the GSA. You might get a tough one or an easy one.

Mrs. Towles is a wonderful English teacher! She is very clear and concise w/ her teaching but also interesting and passionate about her topic. There's a lot of little steps to the 101 class, but it's super helpful w/ giving an idea of what's expected in future college writing classes. An excellent class w/ a great teacher!

Towles is a really good english teacher. I learned a lot in this class. She doesnt mess around when she says she gets the jumbo Dr. Pepper everyday!

She is a decent professor who is very clear with directions, but you only see her on Mondays and the rest of the week you spend with your GSA and your grade really depends if your GSA is good or not (mine was awesome!). Other than that, English 101 is a lot of paperwork but its not difficult.

she is a real sweetheart who motivates you to do great work.

It's ENGL 101, what more to say? Most students wouldn't take this class if it was not mandatory (myself included). Towles ran the large lectures and she was interesting. Smart lady but a boring subject in my opinion.

Always fun always interesting. Even if Englsih is stupid

Towles is a good teacher honestly but the work load is a ton. There are weekly quizes, both online and in class, detailed outlines, bibliographies, and papers due almost every week. Take online if possible!

Mrs. Towles has a passion and love for English and her students. She demands respect in her classroom. She keeps her class interesting and light hearted by adding humor. As long as you do the required reading, you ace the quizzes.

She's a great teacher and I would definitely recommend taking her for English.

She seems like a fun person to have in a smaller setting, but for Eng101 she is not great. Be prepared to feel like you are back in high school with more work. If you can, get out of Eng101, chances are you know a lot of it. The class has a lot of busywork, and her GSA's for small groups are hit or miss. (Johnson is great if she is still a GSA.)

The class in itself wasn't difficult. The amount of homework was UNREASONABLE. Tremendously so. If I had known how difficult it was going to be to keep up with the MULTIPLE homework assignments required before each class I would not have taken it. I should have CLEP'd it, but I did learn. She is a nice person, just ridiculous with homework.

I loved Mrs. Towles. She is one of my favorite professors at Liberty.

She was awesome, didn't see her much.

As an English Majod I would say that her class is very helpful! She is a very nice woman who cares about her studnets. The only criticism I have about the course, is that all four papers assigned are research papers. I believe that she should assign several different types of papers... but that's just me. Lots of homework, but this is college...

She is a very caring professor. English is not my strong point, but this class was very helpful in many ways. Be prepared to print everything. Almost every assignment needed printing. You will not get credit if you do not have the paper in class with you. There are many ways to get extra credit, just do your work and go to the lectures.

Great class but be prepared to do A LOT of writing and busy work. You will also need to print a lot of papers!!

Mrs. Towles was an excellent teacher when I had her for ENGL 101. There are many papers to write; however, they are done in segments, so you don't have to write a whole paper for the next class. She gave excellent feedback on our written work and cared about her students' grades. Bring your textbook to every class!

I really really loved Mrs. Towles! I was a little scared by her at first because she has a very dry humor, but she really cares about her students. I reviewed the reading before each quiz in class and did very well. Go see her to go over your essays, she's happy to help you and gives clear feedback. Overall, I learned a lot and am very fond of her.

I really enjoyed taking ENGL 305 with Professor Towles! She was funny and caring, and although the class itself was overwhelming at times, I came out of it feeling like I learned something.

Professor Towles is no joke, but she is truly a professor in nature. For 8-week residential, it was a common 8-week workload but it was a load off the shoulders when it was finished. Hey, if you complete your Cengage MindTap's, you get free zucchini bread straight from her kitchen! Truly a sweet teacher who knows her way around the English major.

Mrs. Towles is a gem. Gave us a whole loaf of zucchini bread in our last class. Grades harshly on papers but not on exams. Exams are mostly short answers. Not a difficult class but the workload is way more than other 200 level classes. Take the 8 week- course so you don't have to suffer for too long. 2 exams, 3 papers, and a quiz for every class.

Mrs. Towles is my favorite professor! She gave our class zucchini bread, delicious! She made the class fun, even when there was work to be done. She is very helpful when giving instruction and answering questions. Would take her class again if I had the chance.

I love her, she's chill, funny, and kind, and she really cares about her students. She'll always give extensions if you ask. This particular class had a ton of papers, and her reading quizzes can ask for some tiny details. Taking notes on the reading helps. If you know how to write and know what her pet peeves are, you'll do fine on the papers.

I took Profesor Towles 8 week ENGL 101 class. She literally gave us her phone number so we could directly contact her if we needed help with something. For peer review days she brings in a sweet treat like zucchini bread or cookies. She worked with us and was full of grace! She is also really funny and sarcastic which I loved. Definitely recommend!

She is always available for questions outside of class and responds quickly. She cares about the success of each of her students and gives opportunities for extra credit frequently. She would bring us snacks during peer reviews and always wrote helpful feedback.

Mrs. Towles is amazing! I had her for an 8 week class for ENGL 102 and she was so kind and understanding. The first day of class she gives students her personal phone number so we can call or contact her faster. She is always available outside of class and offers lots of extra credit!

I really loved Professor Towles! She's a very kind lady who goes easy on you if you need it. This class was kind of tough, though. You will write 4 papers and have a lot of reading (it is a literature class). But the material/lectures were very interesting and I really enjoyed it. She also brought us zucchini bread twice this semester.

I loved Professor Towles. Hear me say this first! She is an incredible woman, who loves her family, her students, and of course Texas. She of course cares about her students. However, she is an incredibly tough grader. She does pull apart every little thing. The reading is fully required to pass her tests and daily quizzes, and much busy work!!!

Professor Towles is always available to help and genuinely cares about student success. The workload is heavy, but using tools like Unstuck ai alongside the textbook can make the class more manageable. Overall, a challenging but rewarding experience.

Great professor who offers decent feedback on assignments. She works with students so that everyone succeeds and cares for each of her students. Definitely recommend it for MLA learning and is best as an 8-week course because it makes it feel easy and quick! Love her!

Professor Towles is lovely. She is funny, she is loving, she makes zucchini bread that will change your life. She has been reading what she teaches for years and she loves it. She knows what she's looking for in an essay and lets you know exactly what she expects from you. Love Mrs. Towles! You'll have a good English experience with her.

Professor Towles is one of the most fun professors in the LU English department. She always has a hilarious tidbit to go with her lectures. She was also very passionate about the authors we studied, which helped me enjoy learning about them. This class had around 5-6 papers, however, as well as a final essay at the end, so be prepared to write!

I LOVE Mrs. Towles! She is kind, funny, and has a cheerful attitude even at 8:15am. She grades assignments quickly and gives good feedback, and often offers extra credit. Be sure to both read the materials and take notes in class, the tests are material-heavy and lecture-heavy.

Carolyn Towles is definitely my favorite teacher! She is tough, and there can be lots of work to do, but she is very caring. She is also so funny and brings humor to every class. I highly recommend her as a teacher!
