This professor really cares about her students. She is always encouraging them to be their best. She is very sweet but she means business.
A fantastic teacher! Her classroom is very comfortable and she encourages us to have opinions and become better and clearer writers. No text books, but we had reading materials for our writing topics. Prepares you for the final extremely well. It will be your favorite class!
excellent class. loved every minute. prof cam. is very easy going and in turn makes the class fun and easy while you learn at the same time!
VERY GOOD PROFESSOR,FUN CLASS TO ATTEND.SHE TAKES THE TIME TO EXPLAIN AND HELP YOU IN THE AREAS YOU NEED HELP.I REALLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR.
OMG i love this professor so much. the first day she came in and said we dont need to use a textbook i knew i was in love..lol but she has in class essay's and very helpful wiith the reading she gives. i wish she was taught every subject. do her work dont use cell phones and attend class =A
I personally HATE ENGLISH and believed ..."another english class here we go..."but she changed my entire perspective.She teaches in a very fun and effective manner. She tells funny jokes & is always happy. You will NOT be disappointed if you get this great teacher.
THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE HAD!!!!!
Professor Cammilleri really pushes you to be the best possible writer you can be!
I wish Prof Cammilleri could teach all my classes!
This is the best teacher I have ever had. Very intelligent, friendly, kind, I enjoyed every her class. Highly recommend!!!
She was wonderful and I wished that she taught an English class that I could take this semester.
I was so lucky and happy to meet a great professor!
Amazing professor. Shes very clear, very funny, and very helpful. She truly is passionate about teaching and wants students to improve. She doesn't judge anyone, is extremely respectful, and is very open minded. She is a true artist. Definitely a woman I admire.
Very good professor, Make classes very interesting and fun. No tex book required, gives a lot of handouts. No test just writing papers. Its a best professor i ever had :)
very easy kind passionate about her work encourges student about english makes it fun. u should pass easly if u do ur work
A life changing teacher!
She is very sweet and very passionate. However do not be fooled by her kind demeanor. She wants you to do your best and she knows when you're slacking off. She grades fair, she teaches clearly and interestingly, and she is just overall a good person and professor. Just do the work, it's not too demanding for an English class. Fair grader!
shes very nice and her work is pretty easy. as long as you do your work you'll do good. she passes out handouts so you don't need to waste money to buy books. her grading.. found out she gave some guy that was always late and absent in class a higher grade then other students that attended every single day and did all their work. def not fair.
The best professor ive ever had ! She trully is a wonderful teacher and helps out her students really understand her class. I wished she teached all my classes she is the BEST!
BEST ENGLISH TEACHER I HAVE HAD SO FAR! She makes the class interesting, she is a very down to earth person. Highly recommend her!
Best English Professor at BMCC
Professor Cammilleri is the BEST English professor at the school in my opinion. She's humorous and has a great way of teaching. I will seriously recommend her. However, if you are given homework DO NOT come to class without it, or she will send you home.
I'm not a fan of English, but Professor Cammilleri is the best English professor I have ever had. Wonderful person and if you have the chance to take do it.
She is really great professor.
Cammilleri provides excellent feedback in the creative writing workshop. Her questions about your text help you see how thorough or thought out your piece truly was.
How can you possibly take these two previous comments seriously when they can't even spell STRICT. Perhaps the problem was NOT the professor here. I don't know what class they were in, but revision was a huge part of the class. She was thorough, crystal clear as long as you understand English and absolutely fair. Brilliant!
What a GREAT English professor! She is easy going and is not hard on you. She will help you out with no questions ask. VERY GOOD ENGLISH PROFESSOR! Hope she is teaching 202!
She is amazing.I had never have a teacher like her.She is very nice and always tries to do the best for you.The only thing she requires is the knowledge of materials given by her,if you don't have it you will go outside and read it. her lectures are interesting and fun.You will love her truth or dare games which are connected to the lessons.
Awesome professor! Funny, intelligent, engaging, smart, sweet. What more can you want? She makes discussing literature fun! And she wants you to learn. She also has all the readings on the web so you don't have to buy any books. I wish I could take her again!
she is very great prof,funny,and i really like her class,she is helpful and easy going,i recommend her
She's a great prof, easy going. Her teaching's way is very interesting. She allowed us listening to music while taking a test. You won't get bored at all. I highly recommend her!
The best English professor in BMCC. she is very clear with her work, very easy going, and is there if you need help with assignments. TAKE HER!
Amazing professor. She doesn't require a textbook for the class which is great because you're not expected to spend any money. She is funny, smart, and always helpful and respectful towards her students. I highly recommend taking her class!!!
Makes class very interesting! Gives her final during midterms, so during finals week there will be no final for her class. Interesting topics, just a great professor. Highly recommended!
shes a great professor! very laid back easy going. if you do her work and come to class its an easy A recommended
She is very caring and helpful. The most beautiful professor I have met in BMCC. I hope she reads this and know how much her students love her.
She is everything you want in a professor. She is the best. Very friendly, respectful, helpful and she is always in a good mood. Amazing.
Took her class in summer1 - Very friendly and fund to be in her class. +_+ awesome experience
Great course for free writing. You write whatever you want to write. Midterm, 5 pages. Final, 10 pages. Easy weekly assignments as long as you stay on top of it. You don't get penalized for your thoughts. Great class to get your creative juices flowing.
This is the best professor ever!!!!!. she makes it fun. she's so smart. you'll love her! I would take all my English classes with her as my professor.
Professor Cammilleri is great. The best part about this professor is that she assigns the research paper first instead of assigning it during finals which takes a little pressure off during the last weeks of classes. However, you do have to do your work in order to pass. The assignments are fun and spark your creativity. You will her class.
I cannot stress how much I enjoyed having this Professor for this course. Even though I am an English major I worry about the writing aspect of the major. This course really brings out your creativity thanks to Prof. C's weekly topics which you can incorporate into your assignment or submit your own topic. She gives great feedback. She ROCKS!
Professor Cammilleri was one of the best teachers I've ever had at BMCC so far. Very clear, super fun, always very helpful. She provides all the material online so you don't have to spend a ton of money on books. If you have the chance to take any of her English classes, then choose her over any other teacher.
She is awesome! Take her!!!
She is alright . I thought it would be a fun class but she really grades tough. Absent once expect participation to drop by 3 points. Really ridiculous.
COOL AND CRUEL. COOL: friendly, knowledgeable, smart. Fairest grader ever. GROUP WORK: show your participation to her. CRUEL: deadlines are strict, you get the points by how good you do on your papers. Quiz when she sense the slack of participation from students. Cruelness can't be blamed, it's summer. It's too short to accept late works.
Took this professor for a remedial class. Her discussion and writing topics were always interesting. I hope to take her again for English 201.
Very good teacher. Helps you if you email her questions or go up to her for help. I would recommend her.
She's a very good professor. She pushes you to do better and not settle for less. I took her online and she responded to emails and she will help you as long as you help yourself. I recommend ! Her topics were really interesting
She's very helpful and will push you forward to do better! I enjoyed being in her class, I'm sure anyone would too
To keep it short, All I can say, is: I had given up on myself one semester and she didn't let me fail. She really helped me get my thoughts on paper so I could complete my assignments. If you are respectful, and do your work, she can be one of the coolest people you'll ever meet. I'll remember her for the rest of my life.
She is a very helpful professor. Explain when you don't understand. Go over the passages, makes every student understand what it was about. she will tell you some funny stories sometimes. XD I felt respect from her. ... Everything is good, hope i have a chance to take her class again.
Overall she is very nice but I found this class to be a bit hard. Beware that for the final you will have to act out a scene of a book so if you are shy I don't recommend this class.
I took the class online. She is strict with deadlines and gives no extra credit. Participation is a must and counts for half the grade. Other than those tips it was a great session. She provides all reading material, which was very interesting to read. Her assignments were creative and she gives different options to suite your own style.
I loved this class! it was an online class. Yes it was not an easy grade, but I enjoyed our discussions and topics that professor chose. You need to create,understand and feel what you writing. If you are looking for something different and interesting,this class is for you! By the way, professor provides all texts, so you do not have to buy a book
In this online class, I had to read a lot of lectures and answer the question accurately on the discussion board based on the lectures I read. I also had to do a rough and final draft papers about one of the short stories I read, as well as poetry and drama projects. Professor Cammillerri is awesome.
I took her online class again, and it was a lot easier since this was creative writing. After two composition courses of ENG 101 and 201, good bye essays, research papers, and reports. Hello imagination. Professor Cammilleri is the best.
Required to to write in discussion boards.
she doesnt give a lot of homework which is good, but she is very very tough grader, also she wont give any extra credit. She doesnt care about anything.
Online class. While selected course material made for interesting reads & reflections, this professor does not care at all to connect with students and exercises zero leniency. Focuses solely on all the negative factors (if any) in your assignments, even if all your other ones were up to par. I did well, but did not like her style of teaching.
she is a good professor, but it is hard to get a good grade in her class.
Online class. Do your work and you will be fine. Great professor.
I took this class online and she's ok. Everything is there in plain sight. However, she seems nasty when you write her an email. Overall I think the class was good, you better hope u are real creative when writing your poems and stories.
DON'T EVER CONSIDER TAKING HER CLASS. She's one of those professors whose classes get filled up ONLY because she teaches on-line. She is not clear in her assignments and when you tell her about it still gives a bad grade. Because she thinks that SHE IS ALWAYS RIGHT! Finally, and Most importantly, I did not learn anything in her classes.
This class should be taken if you have a passion for creative writing. If you're not into writing poetry, short stories, etc, then think twice because you may struggle. I like to write, so it was an easy A. Don't fool yourself in thinking these classes don't require work, because they do. Prof. C gives solid feedback for serious students.
She is literally the worst teacher ever. She's a tough grader, but not in the kind of way you want. I did take this course because I thought I could honestly do whatever I wanted with creativity, but she's so annoying. She makes you write 3-5 pages every week, even for poems. Honestly what poem is 3 pages? It was the worst online class ever!
She gives students the option to select the topic and the format to write (short story, poem, or drama character). However, she is a very tough grader! Every week you must submit 3-5 pages of your own work, the midterm is a presentation, for the final you have to record a video and correct your work in order to create a portfolio.
She is a very good professor. I took summer online classes with her and I recommend her for these reasons: -She is very organized -Explains her assignments very well -Gives good feedback The assignments are not easy but you will definitely learn.
An amazing teacher, not judgmental, no tests, and assignments are straightforward and easy. This specific class was a creating writing class so of course there was a lot of writing, but it was fun. Only real way to fail or make her mad is to not do the work.
She is a really tough grader, but I liked the readings and assignments. She is hard to please... Would take again as I like to challenge myself, but if you are lazy: nah!
I took her online winter course. She always gives you feedback on assignments. Is a tough grader though, difficult to please. Participation on DB is a must. For final you must record a video and create a final portfolio of all the work presented. Good Luck!
She is a tough grader. You need to work really hard to get a high score. However, she is very helpful and nice.
Prof. Cammilleri has become one of my favorite professors. She is hilarious, cooperative, caring and a lot more. Concerning work and grades, I would suggest this professor even though she gives a lot of assignments and projects, but if you are putting your 100%, I guarantee you there is no way she will give you a bad grade.
She's a sweetheart. Her online course was so detailed and well thought out. I honestly can't think of a better experience than her online class. Just do the work and listen to her feedback and you should pass.
I took both my English classes with professor Cammilleri. I must say she is a sweetheart and really wants her students to get an A. If you show your hard work and be active throughout her class there is no way you will get a bad grade. Yes, you will have to write a lot of papers but they're so helpful and they improve your writing skills. MISS BMCC
She is the best English professor at BMCC. I took ENG 101 and ENG 201 with her. Give your 100% and double check your work, and you will get a good grade. She likes students who are dedicated. She emailed me and told me that I was doing great and should keep it up. Her class enhanced my writing skills. I wish her the best in life. Great professor!
If you don not like the poetry world, you can not this class. Because it all about that, but if you do GO HEAD!
I LOVED this professor. I had perfect attendance and enjoyed every minute of it. She is funny, engaging, and finished this class as a much better writer. I HIGHLY recommend her for English composition at any level. You'd be lucky to experience her class.
I LOVED this class! This is def a class for people who take their writing seriously. Prof. Cammilerri is very encouraging and inspirational. She helped me grow a lot as a writer. In her class, I discovered that I am not half bad at poetry. She does not accept late assignments, so don't take this class if you are a procrastinator.
She is easily accessible via email and quick to respond and assist. She is engaging and gives great and understandable feedback. Do the work and ask questions.
WORST online class ever.
Professor Cammilleri is THE BEST!!!! She makes class engaging and the topics that were focused on this semester really sparked my interest. I would definitely take another one of her classes. She improved my writing immensely. If you're taking an online or hybrid, make sure you keep up with assignments. She does not take late work at all.
She is amazing. She helped me grow confidence in my writing. She always gives good feedback and lets you know where you need to improve. She also drops the lowest discussion board or quiz grade. She does not allow late work but gives plenty of time to get it done. She finishes the course with a final portfolio which reflects how far you have come.
I am from her hybrid class. She is a though grader especially on essays, but at the end you will realize why she is a though grader, we have meeting once a week and she is not a boring professor ask any question from the reading and she will 100% satisfy you with her answer.
The first-semester choose to take online courses and never would choose any online course anymore after this.
I have had experiences with online classes. That is why I chose to take English online but would never choose an online course again after this.
when i was taking i was hoping for a easy A. and i glad to say she did not give it to me. my writing and writing voice is better because of her and she made me love writhing again
For the love of GOD do not take her ONLINE class, save yourself the headache and the money cause this class is NOT worth it. She is extremely unorganized to the point that it makes it hard to know what is due and when, (yes, that bad). Does not take late work, no matter what reason you have, so yea just no, DO NOT do it to yourself.
I know some already said this, but I feel like it should be heard again. She is a TOUGH GRADER, very unorganized, swears that the way her lecture is planned out is organized, but it's not. The way she grades is horrible for the littlest thing that you do wrong. She doesn't care what is going on with her students she only cares that her hw isnt late
Worst professor I've ever had at CUNY. She is extremely unorganized. Her assignment instructions are filled with unnecessary information and, regardless, they are ambiguous. She is a horrible grader, will take off points for small details and her explanations for why she took off points are ridiculous. Would never recommend.
Would not recommend to even my worst enemy, inadequate professor who does not care for any student. Like someone said already, the only thing she cares about is being on time. She is a tough grader who takes points off for the smallest things.
Useless professor, she does not teach anything, feedback is nonexistent, and she does not care about her students. You are wasting money and time by taking this class.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER. -100/10
Not the most fun class to be honest! If you're looking for a class in which you could work on your own time this is the one. The reading wasn't all that interesting in my opinion but she is a very tough grader! So be aware of that! Overall she isn't that bad since you never get to meet her. So... You choose.
Terrible professor, does care about her students. Her grading is ambiguous and she does not give any useful feedback. She claims that she will help you improve your writing but that is 100% not true.
Ironic how she claims to help your writing but does not give any feedback......
Her grading is extremely vague and she takes off points for no reason, literally. She will not say why she took points off. Would not recommend taking this teacher.
If you appreciate your mental health, don't do it to yourself. she is awful at teaching, I honestly don't know how her rating is kinda good on here because her class was a literal nightmare, super messy and unorganized to the point that it's almost impossible to keep up with the class. No just NO, -10000/10 would not recommend it to my worst enemy.
4.2 out of 5?? I would LOVE to know how that happened... I know I'm not the only one wondering how she even got that rating. NO feedback whatsoever, the only thing she'll say to you is "look at the rubric", wow thanks, Karen. Anyways chile, don't take her, waste of time and money to learn absolutely NOTHING!
She is a crazy professor. Do not waste your time taking her class. You will learn nothing but anxiety. She expects so much from students on the other hand she teaches nothing. She is horrible. Do not take her class.
DO NOT CHOOSE THIS CLASS. SHE IS A VERY UNFAIR GRADER AND SHE CHANGES ASSIGNMENTS LAST MINUTES, THEN FAILS YOU IF YOU HAND IT IN BEFORE THE CHANGES. SHE WAS THE WORST. 10/10 D0 NOT RECOMMEND.
If you do not waste your time do not take her class. She is a very tough grader and gives a lot of work.
If you want to know what college is really about, take this class. If you're lazy and just want to get by, don't. This professor gives feedback on every assignment, so I am not sure what these other people are talking about. Maybe they didn't know how to find their feedback. If something isn't challenging, it isn't worth it.
Please listen to my advice and never choose her class. It's extremely difficult. She assigns a lot of homework, and is strict, grading C-, D+, B-, C+ at will without any reason. I was driven crazy by this prof. As many peer students have rated, 80% 1.0 point. If I knew it in advance, I would NEVERRRRRRRRRR CHOSE THIS CLASS.

Professor Cammilleri is an amazing professor. facts!
Her class is extremely complicated. Way too much reading and of course writing too. Doesn't matter how good is your writing you will end up getting a very low grade. She expects truly professional writing from the students which are crazy. If you think your life is not exhausted enough during this corona situation then take her class to suffer.
Professor Cammilleri doesn't accept late work and gave assignments consistently (every week) some were better than others. We only had 3 papers, a final, and a project. She also removes your lowest assignment grade and allows remakes on certain quizzes towards the end of the semester. Honestly, more work than I expected but it was bearable.
Im really sad reading through a lot of these comments because Professor cammilleri is a really sweet and dedicated teacher. She IS almost OCD about how and where to submit papers. But she is very helpful and kind if youre confused. Her assignments are creative and truly test your writing. If youre getting a bad grade its probably your fault.
Reading these comments has me in shock. Professor Cammileri is one of the most creative pedagogical educators I've had so far. Weekly assignments, participation is a must, and not that much reading. No matter what class you're in, you have to be willing to give your effort and time, or else you'll never learn. Thanks, Prof <3
This professor was very organized. All her lessons were in order. I took her asynchronous class. Her directions were very clear and easy to understand; this was a creative wring class. Professor Cammilleri is prompt when it comes to email responses.
Her grading sucks, she gives lots of work but grades them really tough. She doesn't gives you a good feedback
She is a great professor. I had no complaints with her. She is very clear as to when things should be turned in. If any work is unclear she makes time to meet with students virtually even if the class is Asynchronous. Compared to many professor I find that she is truly dedicated to her students. She gives extra credit as well.
This woman is a freaking trip. She is picky out the wazoo about every detail, it seems to be more about her preferences instead of your learning process and how your brain works, which is totally unfair in a pandemic. I don't understand how she has any good reviews on here, and when I looked her up, I was surprised she had such a good rating.
She is very attentive. Every week you will have to submit something and her grading is very clear. She does make the class easy to follow and gives you different options in how an assignment can be completed. She does require voice threads, showing your face and voice.
I would never get her class again, her grading sucks and she gives a lot of work with a short time period and also tough grader. When you email her she barely explains you your mistakes. Horrible Professor!!!
Spring semester hasn't even started yet and this professor doing too much. Smh she wants us to copy and paste along with uploading word document to get credit. You don't get credit if your work in late. Like wth this isn't a writing intensive course.
Being a dende no cap
Don't do it. She's horrible. she'll try to seem cool with her announcements full of memes but her way of grading is strict and unreasonable.
professor Dolores Umbridge vibes
just don't. That's all I'm gonna say
She gives you horrible grades and doesn’t give you feedback at all. I asked her if she was able to give me more feedback on work and told me I’m lucky I received a D- Don’t take her class!
she was really cool when I had her last semester.
She's a tough grader but at least she dropped two of our lowest scores and she did give a couple extra credit assignments. She doesn't give you a lot of time before stuff is due so if you try to start it as soon as you get it she'll be more likely to explain stuff if you email her. She doesn't accept any late work.
There's no creative freedom in this creative writing class. Her grading is strict, the work load is unbearable. she makes this class feel boring and stressful. In a C.W class you're suppose to have fun with writing,not hate it. PLEASE TAKE THE OTHER creative writing professor she's nicer and more understanding. She'll make you love writing again.
Professor Cammilleri is a fantastic professor who is extremely organized and detail oriented. She maps out instructions for every assignment, supplies informative and relatable content, and gives you many opportunities for extra credit. She does not accept late homework so try to submit your assignments on time. Put effort in and you will pass.
At first taking this class was overwhelming, but as time went by and I got to work with the professor more closely it became more fun and understandable. I would def. take her class again. Also, most importantly she wrote the most nicest and sweetest reference letter for my scholarship applications. Professor Cammilleri was a delight and joy!
This was my first semester back after taking a Gap Year and this class was amazing. The way this professor structured the class assignments made it easy to get a good grade. She also offers some extra credit, so make sure to do it. I took this class as a hybrid class.
This professor will give you so many assignments and its very hard to catch up. Take someone else.
Catherine Cammilleri offered weekly units that were clear and easy to follow {she even graded an exam I took after the due date} If you like to complete your work ahead of time you can as well.
she is not teaching any English. she just throws at you thousands of reading material. I have never read so much boring stuff in my life. she is just HORRIBLE. WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. do yourself a favor if you respect and value your time, DON'T GET HER!!
Avoid this class if you can. The workload is heavy, the grading is strict, and the overall experience is just stressful. Try unstuck AI for helpful study resources if you must take it.
