Worst teacher I have ever had. Doesnt let you choose your own research topic. Alot of work and she hates guys and picks on some students for asking questions. DO NOT TAKE.
If you like the way hell sounds.......then you might like this class.
I could only think of two words all semester, kill me!!
No Comments
DON'T TAKE THIS TEACHER!!! SHE WAS THE WORST. DOSEN'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE A CLASSROOM. CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING, TAKES TWO WEEKS TO RETURN PAPERS. SAVE YOURSELF AND DON'T TAKE HER, WISH I DIDN'T....
I have only had one worse experiance in my life other than having this horrible person as a teacher..and that is when my eyeball was ripped from my skull during a toothbrushing accident.NO but seriously worst teacher ever.If you want a good chance of failing taker her but if you want to pass do not!
Great.
She was sooooooooooooo nice and a good teacher all around.
one of the good ones...
great teacher...very underrated professor...very helpful
she was the best. made the class fun. we'll miss her.
Everyone who rated this teacher poorly must be lazy. It's a difficult class and you have to do a lot of writing, but Dr. Kandle is a very good and fair teacher. If you do your work and put forth a decent amount of effort, you will do well. She is very concerned with her students and their grades. She's a great lady.
hope she stays at bucks...very helpful and concerned about her students...take her for comp 1 and 2!
This teacher got me off my ass to write a research paper and somehow I actually cared about how I did in the class... She is excellent and if you work with her she will work with you.
the school totally messed her over, she was a very interesting teacher. i learned more from her than most teachers at the school. its a real shame they fired her
i miss her the school somehow got rid of another good teacher.......
They'll fire a good teacher like her, yet keep old bitter ones that don't relate with their students, and therefore don't teach us anything. BUCKS IS AWESOME!
Glad they rehired her, excellent comp teacher who will show you how to write papers and make paper writing in undergrad work very simple after you pass this class.
VERY NICE TEACHER. HAVE 6 DAYS(MAX) TO MISS IN HER CLASS. 3 PAPERS-EASY, A MIDTERM-EASY AND A FINAL. SHE CRITIZES YOUR PAPERS A LOT BUT IT HELPS YOU OUT FOR THE NEXT PAPER AND SHE ENCOURAGES YOU TO COME SEE HER FOR HELP AND TO GO TO THE TUTORING CENTER. THE READINGS ARE A LITTLE BORING BUT AS YOU GET THROUGH THE CLASS THEY GET BETTER.
willing to help people, although I think she talks more of helping then actually helping. She cuts you off before you can answer questions fully. Seemed as if she didn't want to pinch the nerves of those who kept disrupting the class, so allowed them to keep being disruptive. But for the most part easy class and nice lady.
All around best teacher that I ever had. Very involved in the class, works with the students and interacts on many levels. Missed more than the allowed 6 and still got a B+, very reasonable.
She is a very good teacher. She makes you do a required ten page research paper but starts it with you the first week of class and it isnt due until the last week of the semester. Very helpful and willing to meet in her office for extra help. Allowed to miss 6 classes and still pass. Very nice teacher
She is very boring and I did not like her!!!!
Just Don't Take Her.
She's a great teacher. The work is fair and she's willing to help.
she is a great teacher i really liked her if you dont its just because you dont do the work that she assigns which isnt even that much def take her she is awesome!!!
She is very helpful, cares alot about her students success, is always there to help, and she does ask you to read and participate, but in her class, you definitely get out,what you put in. if you dont like to work or learn, dont bother wasting you money on comp111, infact, dont bother attending college. 1 of the top 2 professors ive ever had!!!!
the best teacher at bucks,very nice and helpful, she will pass anyone that are in her classes, she is easy, and her papers are easy to write, there are some stories to read but they are easy...take her for comp 107, 110, and 111...i love this teacher!!
She loves to teach and will help you if you let her. Def. take.
this class was really fun and Prof. Kandl made it interesting to observe the world around us.
This was a great class. We had fun and we learned a lot.Would take again for sure.
worst teacher i ever had
Dude: She was a great teacher. She taught a lot of interesting stuff and she was always to help you if you needed help. It is nearly impossible to fail this class. Three papers and two tests.
wonderful teacher and i took her for comp 107 and 110. i love this teacher and its an easy A class. she is very helpful and will proof read your essay and give you ideas on what to write about. everyone should take her because the class is so easy! nobody can be stressed out with this class!
Dr. Kandle was not an easy teacher. She graded hard and unfair. She did not let students ask questions in calss because she always was interupting us. The class was more based on her then the students. I would not recomend her to any one.
An overall great teacher. Took her for 110 and would take again if I could. Wants to help and keeps things fun
You have to write the research paper and the smaller papers but it's all broken down for you. The teaching is caring and tries to get people to pass. She is great and will help you pass.
A great teacher who loves her job. The class is easy to pass if you follow the guidelines.
Comp 111 is a hard class to begin with (required 10 page researh paper and many small papers)- I think she tried to make the class easy but it didn't work. She missed 7 classes and gave attitude towards questions. She is NOT an easy grader. She won't give you an A, unless you bend over backwards for her. She is OK but if you can, find someone else.
Took her last semester and she was awesome. Still not sure how I pulled a B but I did. Makes it easy to pass and is not boring but she does expect you to do the readings
Took last semester. Not all but most readings were OK. There are three short papers and the research paper. But it's spelled out for you and she's there to help if you need it. I didn't go until the end and I wish I had. She was only out twice all semester-- don't get the seven-times out comment. Take if you want to pass.
Mrs. Kandl is a nice teacher but a wierd person. She needs to keep her strange life to herself. She thinks shes funny but she not...she trys to act fake and young but shes not. But the works not too bad...be prepare to read and quiz...shes loves to quiz. Papers are ok. Pretty fair grader. Ohh and hope you can read CHICKEN SCRATCH and DECODE PAPERS!
A very fun class. You write the papers and you pass. You do have to read but the readings are not that bad.
Was really excited to learn literature from her, but she doesn't cultivate good discussions, and she seems more interested in HER opinion then that of the class! Didn't like her at all...
Awesome class and teacher. Learned a lot and still had fun.
SHE IS AWESOME. THE BEST TEACHER AT BUCKS COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
She is an amazing teacher!! I would recommend her for comp 110 and comp 111. She will help you if you are falling behind class. She will talk to you like you guys were friends so its not awkward.
great teacher,good looking and helpful what else could u ask in a teacher
EXTREMELY AMAZING TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FAIR GRADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she is awesome.. very helpful, very easy... take her :))))
i think prof. kandl is awesome. she is so incredibly laid back. she is hilarious as well
very nice pleasant teacher and somewhat fun but not a good teacher overall due to the fact that her teaching method are horrible and as well as unclear. for instance, when you get your written assignment paper back her comments are nothing but chicken scratches and she is also harsh on grading papers. I do not recommend her for anyone.
She does not explain the assignments clearly and when you go to her for questions she doesnt give you a good answer. also, she is horrible on grading papers. for instance, the comments and correction she gives back are unclear and unreadable. I have no idea how she became a writing professor if she can not write and explain in her feed backs.
a GREAT TEACHER. Helpful and fun. Class time went by fast. Would tell anyone to def. take. Will help you pass and let students read a paper ata conference for a higher paper grade.
Very good teacher and a very good class. Three short papers and the research paper. Breaks it down foryou. Plus she is funny.
A great class where you talk about the literature and how it relates to the past and present. The teachers is also funny and helpful. Great class.
Great teacher! I also took her for my COMP111 class. Easy teacher, just some random small quizzes but they are always obvious questions. Few essays, but she tells you exactly what she wants. also helps out with the inclass! definitely take her!
A very fun class. You have to write the papers but she keeps it interesting.
easiness is 4 only bc you get into it. took her for 2 womens lit classes and brit. lit. and had fun with each. keeps it fresh/fun and goes beyond the norm to help you. very FAIR: easy A if you give the effort but easy F if you take advantage of her personality. Had fun Cecile, see you at the Freighthouse
1 Word= AWESOME! Had her for Comp 110 and Comp 111. Always there to help and makes class very interesting and fun! Take her!!
Had Dr. Kandl last semester and she was freaking awesome. Did nto know how I was going to pass the research paper but I did. Also laid back and works with you.
Dr. Kandl's class was incredibly fun and interactive. Papers are based on a choice of 3 or 4 articles from the textbook and there's lot of interactive class discussion about EVERYTHING. Great instructor, fun and insprirational woman who loves to teach and get your mind turning.
very fun teacher. You are learning and being challenged but she keeps the class moving. Also hot.
i was scared going into comp 111 because i had no idea how i was going to pass the research paper but she was very helpful and made it clear how she wanted it to be written. she had funny sense of humor and she kept her class interesting. i took her for comp 110 too and did good in both classes. great comp teacher!
This woman can teach. She constantly makes you think and she is just fun to watch. You have to do the papers--three short and one research paper but she helps you every step of the way. Take her if you can.
I took Dr. Kandl for Comp 110 last semester and am going to try to take her comp 111 class. This is one teacher who really cares about the students and tries to help them whenever she can. She makes you think about things you never thought about before. Really excellent teacher.
This teacher is probably the best teacher I have ever had. she showed me how to write a paper and met with me a number of times. There are a lot of papers but tthey are not that hard.
Class taught me so much and the instructor was very nice and helpful. would take again,
The teacher was great with the research paper--broke it down into little bits. I thought comp 111 would be a nightmare but she made it fun.
Bad class. Ever class you had to read multiple articles from the book, then have a quiz on it in class, which I'm not sure counted the quizzes for points. Her paper topics were bad and her grading system makes no sense. Its awk how she thinks she's funny when she is really rude. When class is canceled there is no notice till you have been waiting.
She is definitely a very interesting character. She is very blunt and in your face. She curses, and never sends out emails about her absence. She isn't really helpful and her class is pointless from an improving your writing standpoint. If you are a good writer to begin with, this class will be easy for you, if you aren't, it will be a challenge.
Phenomenal teacher. The class feels easy and the time goes by really fast. Three short papers and the research---which she helps you out on.
I enjoyed this class very much. Some of the reading was hard but most of it was pretty easy. Dr. Kandl also helps you and works with you.
Teacher was only out two times...and she personally helped me pass the class. I went to her office and she read two of my papers. Plus she is cooler than some of the other teachers.
Great teaching. Not too much work but not totally easy. Very good discussions.
Teacher is amazing and also hot. The class is fun although you are learning a lot. Plan on taking her again in the fall. Very smart lady.
Dr. Kandl is a cool woman... witty and sarcastic, but I love it! Her class is pretty easy and fun as long as you actually write your essays. Other then that, the work load is pretty light. I would recommend her.
A wonderful teacher. Very passionate about her teaching. And very attractive also. Not what you would expect in a teacher. Take her if you can.
She is probably the best teacher at Bucks. The class is well organized and she keeps it moving so you are never bored. She is very good looking which is a little distracting but other than that this was the probably the best class I have ever taken here.
i had her class before during summer class last year. i have to say, her English class is somewhat boring and confusing that i simply did not understand what she is teaching. mostly not very helpful at all either. even though she is nice in person, i would not recommend this teacher to anyone if you are to take COMP class.
A great teacher. Fun and engaging with the class. You have to write the seven papers but you don't mind because she makes it easy and fun.
Did not feel like she was interested at all,doing online teaching. Maybe better face to face but I wouldn't take online.
Extraordinary teacher. Knows everything and has a very funny side to her. Laid- back and understands students needs. She will work with you and unlike most teachers she actually cares. Highly reccomend.
Great teacher. Understanding about online issues and gave lots of extentsions.
An amazing instructor. Dr. Kandl is very smart and also helpful and funny. She is young so she knows how to relate to the students. Also very easy on the eyes. Def take.
Absolutely awful teacher. Materials were never posted on time. I emailed questions a few times and got a very brief answer that was not helpful at all. Grades took forever to get back and I hardly got any feedback on my assignments, making it difficult to know what I did wrong. I would not recommend taking a class with her online.Too much of a pain
Wonderful professor. Took her online and she got us through a lot of assignments in a short time. Very understanding and caring about student issues.
An excellent and very beautiful professor. I am a foreign student and she worked with me to help me in the passing of the class. Would take as many times as I could.
Awful teacher! I took her online and she started the class a day late and only logged on about 4 times during the course. I never received any feedback on my papers/discussions until they were all completed. I'm not sure how she is in the classroom but if you want someone who is actually available for an online class do not take her! Horrible!
Great teacher for comp 110. Took her online and never had a teacher who gave the class so much freedom. I had a personal situation and could not get any of my work in on time and she worked with me and did not make me feel bad about my situation. Also questions were not that hard and she was an easy grader.
Really good online experience. Assignments easy to follow and grading very fair. Teacher was helpful and polite with me.
Excellent teacher! She was very helpful in the class and made things so much easier (especially the required 10 pg research paper). However, she tended to be a little scatterbrained at times. If you are fine with an easygoing teacher though, she is the teacher for you.
A wonderful teacher. She made it very fun to go to class. The papers were easy and she explained how she wanted them. I now feel like I can write better. Also very funny with her own sense of humour and very attractive as well.
One of the worst teachers I've ever had. Completely unorganized. She doesn't really take attendance so you don't have to show up but I wouldn't risk it considering how many times she changes due dates. She missed 4 classes causing us to skip entire chapters. She tries to act cool by dropping F-Bombs all the time but its dumb. Just don't take her.
Wonderful teacher. I was scared to death of the research paper but she helped me with each part of it. Caring and wanting students to pass. My friend tried ti take her next semester but the ckasses filled up so much she is waitlisted.
Ive never had a more annoying teacher in my lie! she skips class all the time without notice and when she does come to class she dismisses you after half the time. She spends most of the class talking about her accomplishments rather than teaching. Easy A but its a "teach yourself" kind of class.
Dr. Kandl is one of the best teachers here at bucks. You have to work but the grading is fair. She does not do the work for you but is there to help. She is also very entertaining so you are never bored.
Amazing professor. Dr. kandl is real and she gets it. She wants you to pass and will see that you do. The research paper is ten pages and three short papers.
I took Dr. Kandl's online class and I loved it. Although there were some issues with canvas in the first couple of days she fixed it. Very fair gradings and the readings were not too bad.
Dr. Kandl's class is easy and she's a generous grader, but its a "learn it yourself" kind of class. She will not give you a email or a heads up when she'll not be there and she drops the f-bomb a lot thinking its cool but its annoying. But she's understanding with her students. If you want an easy A, then take her class.
Wonderful teacher. Very understanding and supportive of her students. Very informed and smart. She knows her stuff but lets you have an opinion without shutting you down. Will be taking her again for comp 111.
This teacher could not have been more helpful. She gave us her personal cell number to contact her if something was really urgent and I did and she got right back. She also made the annoying research paper a breeze . A very straight up chill professor who really understands the students.
She is the BEST teacher I have ever had at Bucks. She answers any and all questions and answers emails within a day. She is clear on all of her teachings and give loads of helpful resources for writing. Very easy grader. Would definitely recommend.
I love this teacher. Dr. Kandl took a challenging class and made us able to write the shorter papers and also the research paper. She is also responsive and a fair grader. A truly wonderful teacher.
This professor is really nice, personable, and witty. We had fun discussions in class and it felt more like a sociology class almost. I screwed around a lot and handed stuff in late and I still got a B, anyone that actually tried to do well I'm sure can an A+ without breaking a sweat.
I had her for comp 110 and took her again for comp 111. She's so cool and easy going. She's fairly young and is just easy to talk to. She definitely keeps you on your toes you never know what she is going to say or do. Overall she's an easy grader and will help you out if you need it but you probably won't in this class. I highly recommend her!
I loved this professor. Dr. Kandl says it like it is. She was very helpful and wanted everyone to pass the class. Very funny and keeps the class moving. Would take again.
When you had questions, it was sometimes very hard to get a response from her. At one point a lot of students asked for clarification on an assignment, including me, she did not get back to us until the day after the assignment was due. Your papers better be PERFECT I mean PERFECT or you can forget getting an A in the class no matter what!
Dr Kandl is extremely helpful to her students. She helps her students through the writing process. Obviously, there is a lot of writing considering it is an English class, but she makes it can be managed. Would definitely take her again if given the opportunity to do so.
I loved this class. Dr. Kandl has that something extra that you don't find in a lot of teachers. She cares and she knows her stuff. Take if you can.
Dr Kandl is one of the greatest teachers any student can ask for. She is laid back, funny and understands the challenges that come with being a student. Take her class!
Dr. Kandl is by far one of the best English teachers at Bucks! She is clear and precise and tells you exactly what she expects from you. Participation is essential to passing this class. Kind of a tough grader at times but definitely knows what she's talking about. Great class, great teacher. Take her!
Sucks online. Hard grader. You get a discussion post each week, takes you over an hour for each one. On essays shes a hard grader, if you have a question text it to her (She gives her #) its faster, email takes forever for her. Also takes forever to grade. Forever meaning eternity, eternity meaning like a whole month to grade one essay.
Loved this teacher. The class is well-organized and easy tofollow. She expects quality work but she helps you out when you need. Will take again.
Professor Kandl expects you to read before each assignment. Her feedback's after each essay or assignment are really helpful, she tells what to work on for your next homework. If you want to get a good grade expect to read a lot, critical reading and deep thinking are also a plus. I would recommend Prof. Kandl.
Loved this teacher. Went out of her way to help. The reading is OK but she has to teach it for the class. Easy grades.
Professor Kandl was great! I took her Comp 111 class online this past fall semester. It was my first online class and I have to say, I am so glad that I found a professor like her. She always emailed me back very quickly and answered any questions that I had. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
she's very easy to talk, is like a college student understanding when things happen. Show up to class though is hard on attendance.
Great Professor, very cool and relaxed. Taking Dr. Kandl for COMP 111 in the summer. Loved her! If you do all the discussions on time, and write normal papers you will pass! DEFINATELY RECOMMEND!
Gives one sentence responses to emails. Here rubrics on grading homework are inconsistent and unnecessarily long, nor does she stick to the rubric as shes grades subjectively. This is my worst experience with a professor and it is extremely frustrating, I do everything that the rubric states for maximum points but it somehow is never good enough.
Dr. Kandl made a challenging class easy. I did not know how to make my papers long enough for the subject and she was great with giving me ideas. She was also helpful and understanding when problems came up. Fairly easy grader.
This teacher helped the class out many times by extending the paper deadlines to keep our stress down. She also gave us supportive words to keep going through the class. I have never had a better teacher at Bucks. Awesome experience.
I finished Dr. Kandl's online summer class and she was great. I do not knoe another teacher who takes questions about the research paper on her phone. She texted me back with advice when I needed it the most. Wonderful teacher. Great class.
This is my second online class with Professor Kandl and I would recommend her for any writing class. She is amazing as a teacher - as long as you put forth the effort and submit the work on time you will pass without problem
Prof Kandl was one of the best online teachers that I have ever had. English and writing papers have never been something I was good at but she is open for new ideas and she helps where you need it. A 400 pt paper at the end scared me but she prepared us for it from day one to help us succeed. I would take her again in a heartbeat.
A great professor. Very entertaining in the classroom. Easy on the eyes as well. Will help you if you take the time to ask.
Amazing teacher. Cared about the students more than any teacher I have seen. Explained the papers clearly and graded fairly. Am taking for comp 111.
Really exceptional teacher. Cared about the students and helped me so much with my writing. Also hilarious.
Lots of papers due, but they are all based of of the reading so its not difficult. Just show up and read what she assigns and its an easy A. She is fun and charismatic. Very down to earth and understanding.
Dr. Kandel is the most inspiring, positive instructor. She sees your growth throughout her class when you follow her instruction, giving inspiring feedback. You are expected to do your part and your grade reaps your effort. I really enjoyed her online class. She is my favorite instructor thus far.
She's a great teacher for writing. There are three papers and a final research paper. Each week has a discussion. She gives good comments and feedback. Each week has a lot of readings. The class was not easy for me. I still like this class. I learned a lot.
Good teacher, fair grader. Gives decent feedback and return work pretty quickly. Discussion each week and four papers. Follow guidelines and you will do great.
Amazing. Loved this teacher.
I took this class online and it was fine. There are a lot of group discussions that you must participate in. You will need the textbook. The professor is willing to help you out if you message her, but as with many online classes, you must take initiative to get a good grade.
Good luck getting any more than two words in feedback from discussions. Good luck getting any of your questions answered. Goodluck getting grades back promptly. Good luck understanding her vague subjective grading on papers. Good luck learning how to improve your writing skills! & Good luck trying to get an A!
Professor Kandl is hilarious and so sweet. She keeps her students engaged. Classes are always interesting.
Excellent professor. Fair grader. Answers your questions quickly.
You will get more help from her by asking questions than relying on feedback.
Thought she was a tough grader at first. But just follow instructions and listen to her feedback and you will get an A
Doesnt give clear directions, very hard grader and would not take her again.
This teacher made the class fly by. You have to write the required papers but she does what she can to help you out. I turned in a few late and was fine.
she doesn't give much homework at all, which was fantastic. Though she does make you write 7 papers over the course of a semester. They aren't terrible to write about which is very nice, especially because she makes the prompts easier for you to understand, essentially making the paper easier. Don't pass up the chance to have her
This Professor is extremely slow at grading papers! The deadline was 7 weeks before the grades were posted. The discussions are tedious, and graded two weeks after the deadline! I was beyond frustrated. I asked her When will my grade be posted, and she said soon. 3 more weeks isn't soon.
Great teacher. She is down-to-earth and funny. Makes a lot of accomendations. Will hello you if you ask.
The class discussions were a breeze. We had essays to do, which really made you think. The essays were turned in every 2 wks. 6 total. Each essay was not critiqued and graded until AFTER the next one was handed in. So you couldn't even fix your mistakes. I got an 89. And she did not budge my grade, not expected. But come on. Everything was on time.
Took COMP110, 111, and LIT206 w/ her all online. Everything was fine except that she doesn't grade anything until the last 1-2 weeks of class in which you cannot fix anything. Also, there is hidden criteria for papers that is not on Canvas. If you don't meet all hidden/present criteria she'll give you a zero on the paper even though you did it .
I loved this teacher. Online so you have to email her but she gets back decently fast. Clear grading criteria and good feedback. She's also reasonable and extends deadlines .
She is super sweet and helpful!
I am taking her online course right now and there is a lot of work as expected. She has graded out papers and assignments fast. She doesn't make the overviews of the week very clear it makes the class very challenging. We are writing a paper every week plus doing discussion on top of that and a 7 page research paper through out it all.
Great all-around teacher. Helps when you need it. Easy grader.
I took this professors 6-week summer course and do not recommend. It is an accelerated course, so I expected a lot of work in a short amount of time, but she is a tough grader & minimal feedback. Discussions are easy points, but does not give clear directions for papers. In one week I had a paper due, two discussions, and a 7-page research paper.
A solid teacher. Clear guidelines. Helps you if you ask. Keep up with the readings and turn work in on and you will be fine.
Very poorly outlined course. Guidelines are vague or often confusing, possibly even misleading. The weekly discussion assignments are geared more towards the socially inclined, and if you don't socialize you can only get 60% on each instance. Forced/Stipulated discourse doesnt foster much discussion of any real value, yet that is what goes on.
Kind and caring with my personal issues. Graded fairly. Not that hard at all.
So relaxed and laid back, super helpful outlines when it comes to papers. definitely be there the day before or when you start working on papers, it helps so much. absolutely love her
This professor is a rockstar. Provided me the assistance when needed, and her assignments where straight to the point. Honestly, she is a teacher that anyone would love to have as a professor at the college level. You must participate in the discussions and do your writting assignments to pass. Her class is built on your ambition to learn.
I have Professor Kandl at the moment and everything is online because if COVID. She has made life SO much more easier because she is so understanding and loving. I feel like shes my second mom basically because of how cute and understanding she is. If I could, I would give her a hug. Shes a great professor & knows exactly what shes teaching! 10/10
I loved taking this course. It was fairly easy. Read the assignments and write an analysis. I turned in a couple of my assignments a few minutes late and she did not deduct any points. Overall, I would take her class again. She gave me some really good tips on writing.
Professor was genuinely nice and helpful. The papers used the same format, so it was not that difficult to write. She does discuss about the readings to make sure we understand them, and always relates it to the real world. Attendance and participation are important to make sure we understand the readings and discussions.
I took this class as a 6-week summer course. It was all online and I was expecting to be overwhelmed with work. This class was at a nice pace and was not overwhelming at all. Dr. Kandl was super considerate and gave great feedback. Would recommend!!
I just took this professor summer session 2021 and she was very nice and easy to reach. Quick responder. The usual workload but very doable. I would recommend it for comp 2 professor!
The teacher seams like a nice person but is a very rough grader. She will very broadly tell you what you need to work on, on the papers. When you ask for help chances are you won't get any. There is a discussion post every week and 7 papers throughout the entire course. It is not very hard to do.
This teacher sucks. She will give you a zero if you dont follow her instructions fully. Just will give you a zero then dont even tell you why. Make sure you follow her guidelines for the papers and discussions. Good luck
Great professor. Caring and helpful. Highly recommend for 110 . She breaks it down so its not that hard. You have to do the work but thats it. Easy grader.
Be prepared to learn nothing. There are no lessons in this class, just a lot of politically laced reading and writing. She contradicts herself and shows little enthusiasm towards what she does. Her grading is monstrous. and she won't allow you to fix anything, unlike the real world. I checked rate my professor before taking her class, RUN!
I love this teacher. The class is set up for the semester on day one so you just have to follow along. She gives extensions on work and was very understanding of my personal situation. Best teacher here so far.
Instructions where always incredibly vague and therefore made writing papers she approved of very difficult.
Professor Kandl is an amazing teacher. My writing was horrible and I was so nervous to take the class but my papers kept getting better. The feedback is very direct so you can use it for the next paper. Easy grader.
A great teacher. Helpful and kind. Actually realizes there is a world beyond her class. Highly recommend.
Honestly, out of my years of attending two different colleges, Dr. Kandl might be the most understanding. Very amazing woman and if you put in the work you won't be disappointed.
Prof Kandl is very understanding and caring, her content is engaging and makes you think outside of the box at times. If you put forth the effort and do the work in her class, you will pass. Be prepared to write papers!
I wish I had a better experience with Dr. Kandl, but she was extremely difficult to work with. Vague instructions, even worse feedback. She would frequently give me low marks (in the 80s) without giving any explanation. When I asked her what I could improve on for next time, she would say "you got a good grade!" She has no rubric. Run!
Dr Kandl was so helpful to me in what could have been a challenging class. She gave me extensions on my work when I needed them and treated me with respect. Would highly recommend.
She gave lots of outlines for our essays which made it very easy to write. She was so chill and made the class enjoyable to go to.
Not a teacher I would recommend for those seeking higher education, she doesn't grade on time, doesn't email you if an assignment needs to be resubmitted, and doesn't grade kindly if you have ADHD or any mental disabilities. She thinks too highly of herself and doesn't engage with students if emailed. If you're a writer there isn't inspiration here
Dr Kandl is great. She helped me out so much this semester. I got extensions when I needed them and she was caring. There are basically 4 papers and weekly discussions. No tests or quizzes. Highly recommend.
I had Dr. Kandl for an online accelerated comp111 class. There are 3 papers in total you have to write and one final research paper. She offers great feedback and answers all of your questions. Her feedbacks are especially really helpful and helped me improve my writing. Highly recommend taking her class!
I took Dr. Kandl for my summer class. I don't recommend taking this teacher especially if you have accommodations. I had 2 papers, a weekly discussion, and a 6 paged research paper all due within the same week. She doesn't grade on time and gives feedback at the last minute. You will be given a Zero if your paper is short.
The professor made a challenging courses manageable. Everything is organized at the start so you just have to follow along. Caring and understanding. Would recommend.
There is no instruction in this online class, so if you actually want to learn to write better, Dr. Kandl is not the professor for you. Her instructions are extremely vague and if you email her for more specifics, her responses are unhelpful and just as vague. Her feedback on papers is also unhelpful and very vague.
Solid teacher. The course is doable . 3 short papers and a research paper. She has discussion posts every week and is super generous with the points . You basically just have to do the work and she will genuinely help you pass.
Strict page requirements. Kandl is my first professor who has had STRICT page requirements (which is something I personally disagree with). She gives minimal feedback on papers, assignments, discussion posts, etc. I am not joking when I say over half of the feedback from her was "good". Overall she seemed pretty cold and short towards students.
Ok Professor. Total of 3 papers and a final research paper. Weekly reads as well as discussions. Will give you a chance to correct your first paper if it is not the minimal page amount and will also give you an extra day to complete discussions and responses. However will not bump grade average from an 89.7% to a 90%, so be aware of that annoyance.
Class was fine. I was nervous at first because all of the classes require a research paper but she made it lot easier and shorter than many. Responds decently fast. Would recommend.
I took Comp 110 online with Professor Kandl and it was easy. The format is all laid out on day 1 so you just have to follow along. The papers are standard. She rounded up my grade at the end so I got an A. Def take if you can.
I had Dr Kandl for summer 1 and she was great. The papers were manageable because she laid it all out out clearly. She also responded to my emails ( I sent a number) fairly quickly and helped me out at the end. Would take again.
Gave a zero for paper being too long even though a maximum page limit wasn't specified (2 pages past minimum of 4). Grades papers very late with very minimal feedback. Prompts for papers are bad. Responds to messages and emails very late with vague answers. You'll pass but you won't learn anything and you might not get an A for silly reasons.
I had this Professor for a summer intensive class. I am a guest student so I only needed a c to transfer but I ended up getting an a because why not. She responded to emails quickly and gave good feedback that really helped. The class was fast-paced but all you have to do is stay on top of it and you will be fine.
This was an accelerated course. Weekly discussions were easy they just required a good amount of reading. If you follow the very clear and to the point instructions that she gives for the paper assignments, you will be fine! She's also very easy to reach out to.
As long as you do the work and participate you'll be good and she'll love you.
Dr Kandl was a great Professor for my first semester. It's not that the class was a joke — but she made it super doable. My grades got better . It's standard 6 short essays and weekly discussions. She opens the assignments if you have an issue and grades generously.
Took comp110 online and I have to say that this was by far the best online class I have taken at this school. I am not generally an online person but had to take one because of my schedule. Dr Kandl graded fairly and left detailed comments on how to improve. She also took 2 of my papers late. Very doable class . Take.
Had 6 papers in this class during the fall semester. Her feedback is very minimal and doesn't offer much guidance. Had weekly discussion boards and readings basically every week until the end of the semester. I'd take her again but just not a fan of her grading for essays.
Overall solid course. She's a sweet lady if you reach out to her. Just turn in everything and you will be fine.
Professor Kandl was the best Prof i've had at bucks so far. She brings a great energy to class and is willing to help make things work for you. she gets what its like to be a student and doesn't make the class harder then it had to be. She is a super easy grader as long as you listen to her.
Terrible teacher. She gives generic, one word replies to assignments and threatens to give zeros on papers for the most ridiculous reasons. Assignment requirements are so vague but then when she grades it, you get hit for not doing things that were never outlined. I had to redo work multiple times for not including something she never asked for.
Excellent professor. Very flexible with me and helped me out so much with numerous issues. The research paper is already half written because she asks you to just add on to a paper you've already tuned in.
She was an okay professor. However she is very strict about the length of your papers she will give you a zero if it isn't the exact length she wants so just beware of that but she gives you a chance to fix the paper and regrades it. The research paper was actually pretty easy because you already done half of it throughout the semester.
Dr Kandl was very good! She was a little picky with the grading criteria on students papers. She was funny and hilarious to the whole class. I really liked her class.
I took this course and sat through the first day of class not knowing what she was talking about. She gave us an assignment that I did not understand. Therefore, I went up to her after class to get one on one help, she did not help what so ever. I ended up dropping this course. Thank god I did seeing how bad of a grader she is.
I just finished an intensive summer classes — 6 weeks— and she was one of the most helpful professors I have ever had. She let me redo a paper that I completely got wrong and I still got an a on it. She gives placeholder 0's while you are revising a work but that is never your actual grade. I'm transferring next semester or I take her again.
The course work is easy, pretty self-explanatory. My issue with this course comes with thew feedback, or lack thereof. Expect 2 word sentences with no elaboration. "Transition sentences need work" without providing examples is 1. lazy teaching 2. not substantial feedback. Not everyone is a natural writer, queen!
This teacher did what no other teacher has done for me and that is care about me personally . My family had a lot of issues this semester and she worked out a plan to turn in my work late without any points being taken off. She also helped me grow aw a writer. 10/10
