She is the worst english prof ive ever had! I love english... but in my opinion... a college level class should NOT have "favorites". Absolutely pointless work. Horrible teacher. Not worth the time... Drop if you can... AT ALL COSTS

I took her class this semester (Spring 07). She's not really a terrible person or necessarily a bad teacher per se, but she's totally confusing. She makes you go on WebCT a lot. Avoid this class if possible, if you do end up with her, find yourself a buddy to help you understand what's going on.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS unless you have a major that involves a lot of writing. This class, compared to most other enc classes (according to descriptions of others, has the most work of any other basic english class. Its not so much diffacult as it is time consuming. Theres more writing in this class than all classes Ive had combined!!!

Professor Schutz is a great teacher, but I can understand why some may not like her. One has to enter the class wanting to learn, and wating to get better at writing. If you go in with that attitude, then the class is great. I love the class. I love her and her teaching style, and I love writing the assignments. I reccomend her.

Oh, come on, people. She's awesome. Go to class, do your work, stop whining, and get the grade you earn. It's that simple. It's not high school anymore. Grow up and do your work and you'll get the grade you deserve. That is the formula to success. She is only the vehicle to your education destination. You're the one getting off where you want to be

By far the worst prof./teacher I have ever had. Her grading style is ridiculous and unfair. Her technique for teaching is insane and very unclear on assignments, and don't even think about asking a question if you would like to leave class in one piece. I recommend if you want any hair left after the semester you should stay far away from her!!!

Be prepared to write a lot, more than any other english class for sure. She isn't very clear on what she wants for papers, and then grades harshly. Make sure to have your journal assignments done early, because the dates posted on the calendar will change at her whim. Pick groups that you can actually deal with, bc youll have them all semester.

She is NOT a bad professor by any means. She will make you write more than you've probably ever had to, and she'll make you think; if you aren't in college to think then you shouldn't be there. She has really helped my writing to improve and I'm taking her again for 1102. I would recommend Mrs. Schutz as long as you aren't afraid of work.

Probably the worse professor you can find anywhere. She tries her absolute best to confuse you so that you can fail her class, makes you work in groups just so your grade can plummet (i had a high B before the 2 group papers and ended up with a C+). Avoid her if you can

By far one of the most challenging classes, yet one of the most rewardind classes I have ever had. If you are a lazy person, don't take her class because you have to be focused on getting your work done and getting it in on time. If you do this, you'll br fine. I got an A, and the majority of the class got A's or B's.

WORST ENGLISH TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD.Plays favorites. VERY Unclear about assingments and is a very tough grader. The work you do in class never correlates with your homework and the casebook is a waste of your life. Basically a lot of work, and by no means am I a slacker. Save yourself the trouble and find a different teacher.

Ridiculous. She makes English a lot more difficult than it needs to be. I've never really been a huge fan of English as a class, and this class makes me dislike the subject even more.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS. You use and waste more ink and paper in her class printing out a lot of paper. EVERYTHING is emphasized to perfection, MLA especially. If you are a perfectionist or a masochist asking for a "literal" challenge, she's your new friend. Everyone else WILL heed the warnings, lest you fear no academic death by English. Beware BEWARE!

I'd rather be struck by lightening than stay in this class. She basically tells you to do investigative reporting than "English" as it were. Highly unrecommend.

Despite what everyone says, she is a good teacher, she just challenges you to write. If you ever need help, she is very willing to help you in her office hours and after class.

Run! The only way you can deal with this teacher is if you dont have any other classes. She piles up work back to back, and is extremely vague in everything she says. She flies through the notes, and does not give you a chance to see them again. She will give you the workload of two english classes, so get out while you still can.

Unlike the people who feel like sliding through a gen ed. If you actually want to learn something in a college class that can benefit you in the long run, take this course. The required readings are all helpful and you may even get published. Professor Schutz is more than willing to help with any issues in her assignments. Good professor!

Wow, this was without a doubt the worst teacher I have ever had. Throughout my entire life, I've never had a teacher this confusing, unhelpful, and discouraging. You won't understand anything she says and when you ask for clarification she is just going to criticize you for not paying attention. The problem isn't difficult material, it's her.

I was absent the 1st Friday class of the entire semester because I had a 103 fever, could hardly move much less go to class. An assignment was due in that class so I emailed her about turning it in over email rather than in class, didn't get back to me 'til the Monday, and refused to accept a doctor's note or my assignment. Terrible, don't take.

I didn't think her class was as bad as these other people make it seem. She gave feedback that I thought was clear enough to improve upon, but she did make you work hard. Not the easiest class in the world if you don't keep up with the daily journals and such. Stay on schedule and you'll do fine.
