Good choice for an English 101 class. I took this as a hybrid so attendance did matter but it was only one day so it wasn't a big deal. She's very sweet. Only did 4 papers, 3 were minimum 2 1/2 pages, last one was minimum 5 pages. Not bad for an English class. She wants you to do well, pushed deadlines back multiple times if she saw us struggling.

By far the worst professor I have had. Not only is the course work set up backwards (Teaching how to cite is the LAST assignment for the class not the first). She is quick to assume plagiarism and threatens to drop you from the class even when I explained I did not know how to properly cite. I learned more from YouTube than I did this class. Aweful

Not helpful, rude in all emails and note responses or ignored emails all together.

love this teacher, she is helpful and sweet. If you are new to CSN, take this class! the feedback on my essays helped me a lot. You will have to buy a book, it is required. The quizzes were not hard, and we did work every week. I took this class during pandemic, so it may have changed but everyone else seems to agree that she a good professor!

I took the Haunted house lit class and was surprised, it was so much fun. it was not hard to keep up either, most of the books were provided and the one or two i bought were like 4-5 dollars. what I liked is the two week modules when a book was to be read. great class irecommend it.

this class really helped me get into the swing of things, especially as a new college student and she really helped me out understand what I should be doing in the class and how greatly I started to understand the stuff she was teaching even though the workload was about to give me a mental break down, especially with essays, but she really cares.

Each module lasted about 2 weeks and had 2-4 assignments per module. Assignments are composed of short essays, discussions, short answer responses, and/or quizzes. Lots of reading and movie watching. None of it was too hard, but definitely stay on top of the work, it is easy to let things snowball out of control. Kind grader too.

Assignments included discussions on weekly topics, commenting on magic related music, and quizzes on assigned reading. There were a few short essays that were assigned (nothing too difficult). Most of the reading involved were short stories. We had to also watch a couple of movies. This class was so much fun, I highly recommend taking it!

Lit classes mean lots of reading but the haunted house section of the class was fun. You only have two weeks to do the modules but the class is well structured and none of the assignments felt like busy work. Don't procrastinate on the reading and you'll be fine. Her instructions were very clear and she put lots of effort despite it being online.

Great professor. Learned a lot about mythical creatures and folklore. 1 assignment a week, discussions or quizzes. Needed to buy a book (cheap). Gives great feedback on work. 1 extra credit opportunity. Had to read a lot but they were interesting reads. 3 paged essay for the final exam. definitely would recommend!

Cathy Beauvais is a great professor with a straightforward teaching style. Attendance is required, but no textbook is needed. Homework is simple if you manage your time. She's responsive to emails and offers help when needed. Be aware that she uses occasional profanity but informs students on the first day.

I overall enjoyed this course, the work wasn't too bad she just is pretty strict with deadlines and putting effort into your work. Besides her strictness she's cool and the assignments were pretty simple as long as you followed directions. It is important to show up to class so you don't miss anything important. She does offer extra credit too.

Do not take this class. I thought this would be a smooth ride due to the ratings I seen I was ecstatic to take this class. Boy were they WRONG. It all seemed fine at first but it went downhill. RUN. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. Plenty students including myself were accused of using AI to write our papers when that was not the case. Save your time.

Choose a different professor if you don't want to be accused of using AI constantly. The teacher doesn't even grade papers based off the rubrics, she just checks for AI and goes off of that. Would not recommend if you actually care about learning, since she doesn't grade well, just checks for AI.

The class wasn't too harsh but the way this particular professor grades is certainly unfair. My Final paper wasn't even marked 10% AI, it was under though she accused me of using it regardless because in her mind the way I write is robotic. I called off work to have extra time to finish the final and it went to waste. Highly disappointed.

I loved ENG 223 (Magic in Lit. & Folklore). There was a lot of discussions based on the short readings we learned about. The work was fairly easy, and since it's mostly reading and writing, you'll have no problem getting through it all each week. I also loved the weekly playlist she put together! Try out something new with this professor!

I took this class over the summer last year and enjoyed it. You have to do the reading, but it's spread out over the course so it's not too much at one time. Great lectures, and no groupwork. Professor cares about students, and is quick to respond to emails.

She is a very nice, sweet lady! Her lectures are pretty straight forward, and she is willing to help you and answer any questions you have. She gives readings to read before meeting each week but they're short. She leaves A BUNCH of comments in essays for feedback on your writing. She doesn't sugar coat it, so take it with a grain of salt :)

Professor Beauvais' ENG223 class is great! Lots of reading and only a couple creative writing assignments. Lots of discussion posts. My only warning is if you're enrolling in Spells, Charms, & Hexes with her and don't like horror, one movie and one book may not be pleasant for you, at least in my experience. But overall, great class and caring prof

I really enjoyed this class at first! I was super interested in the topics and had a lot of fun doing the assignments. It all went downhill after I received a zero on a paper because she claimed I used AI. She was rude in her comments on that paper, and even when I wrote her back saying I never used AI in any of my papers, she never responded.
