Cheryl is the best professor you could want, if you love to write. If you're just taking comm 1 or 2 because it's required, you might find her a bit to challenging or critical. She would be especially benefitial for english majors. I have her for comm 1, and will be taking her comm 2 class the fall

Cheryl is not an easy teacher. Even so, I found that I learned a lot in the class. There is a lot of writing to be done, but that is because Comm 1 is a...surprise, writing class. I recommend you take her only if you are willing to put forth an effort (and have the foresight to get your papers proofread by someone other than classmates).

Great professor. I don't understand the few low ratings. The class is a couple small projects/essays and then centers around a research paper (normally science).

This is a college class, not a high school class. MLA format is a requirement. Reading/interpreting/writing is a requirement. Attending class is a requirement. She knows everyone's name the second day, recognizes her students as people, and expects hard work. The reward is an EDUCATION experience.

Sure, this professor can be harsh. She makes people leave if they did not do the assignment because they were confused. Assignment due dates can be pretty confusing but she definitely is very passionate about her job and makes you work for your grade.

This class is insanely stressful, even worse than taking AP Government in high school. She is unreasonable and probably one of the rudest professors I have ever met. Not to mention the repetitive amount of coursework you are given. She also does not clearly state what is expected out of hmw. When choosing comp 1 or 2, stay clear from this teacher.

I did an AICE class that was supposed to be an equivalent to com 1 and I passed with flying colors. I cam to this class and I felt so stressed and frustrated. Her feedback was always vague and she gave me 0 points because I accidentally forgot to color code some files and humiliated me in front of the whole class. I felt so stupid all semester

Very tough professor as others stated. One of the things I struggled with in her class is her page limits. Its very frustrating having a very strict page limit and then being marked down on not having enough details, when I know I couldve done better if Im not constrained within only one or so pages.

She is the toughest professor that I have ever had. She clearly loves her job and her enthusiasm hypes my up as well but her work is so very much confusing. I had to ask many of my peers what we had to do for assignments and when the due date was or any specific detail that she would leave out. Overall I was always so stressed and worried in class

She made students cry. If you were even just 7 minutes late to class she wouldn't accept any of your work. She told a student on the last day that if she was one of her employees she would fire her and told her she SHOULD drop the class. She's an incredibly harsh grader, and rude as well. She killed my confidence, and many others. Best to avoid her

The most toughest and strictest professor Ive ever had, and she explained work in such an unnecessary and convoluted manner, it was just confusing and not a great learning experience. Professors should be professional and helpful to students, but she was intimidating and daunting. She made students feel stupid for just asking questions, avoid her

I got an A+ but it was NOT an easy class by far! She does teach you a lot but grades SUPER hard and vauge! Has 4 big assignments last one worth 40% & you won't pass if you don't get at least a 70. Can't miss class or you'll fail! Has tons of extra credit but you need a 70% to apply it. Very stressful class, wouldn't recommend. Writing Center helps!

Professor Renee is not for the faint of heart. She can be tough but the way she teaches is fantastic. You will learn extremely valuable lessons that will serve you throughout the rest of your life. This class is not easy, but it is worth it. DO NOT SKIP CLASS EVER. Lots of extra credit.

Just do yourself a favor and dont take this professor. So many better and more caring professors at this college who do a much better job. She doesnt explain what is expected for homework and such clearly, I feel like she just marks you down for no reason if she just doesnt like you. Clearly favors some students. Unnecessarily difficult class.

Paper rubrics can be very confusing. Very backwards when grading papers because she grades the rough draft after you submit the final draft. I almost never knew what I had to fix for my final drafts because she didn't post rough grades until after the final draft deadline. This hurt my grade.

Ive never been this stressed out with a teacher ever. She constantly makes me redo assignments since its not to her standard. I can tell she doesnt like me and from that she takes out more on me. She tells you to fix something and once you do she tells you something else is wrong then gives you a 0. Ive already had too many mental breakdowns.

She doesnt seem to care for her students at all. For me personally I have a processing disability and she seemed to not even care for it at all. Due to her Ive had so many breakdowns. She doesnt take any excuses. She makes me feel so bad about myself and due to that I really want to drop her class just so I dont have to deal with her.

At first I thought she was alright until she kept seeking to make me fail. She would make me do assignments over and over again. She wouldnt tell me if anything was wrong at first and then she would give me more things to fix. What ruined it for me was that I spent hours on an essay just for her to give me a 0. I dislike this teacher.

Worst teacher I have ever had. Do not take this class. She makes you feel dumb for asking a question. She grades very unfairly and tough. My friend and I both turned in an assignment late. She said late work is an automatic zero no excuses, he still got a grade but I received a zero. Doesn't make sense. Save yourself and do not take her.

Doesn't follow her own syllabus, very long delays in grading. Teacher rants about her brain damage. Her examples for students to use where B and C graded papers. Overall the worst teacher encountered so far. Was advised: One incomplete assignment made me ineligible for a grade on the final. This is not listed anywhere in her syllabus.

i'm currently taking this class and professor renee makes it so unnecessarily hard. she does not explain much in class, and posts lectures on canvas that we have to watch on our own time. she is honestly very rude when giving feedback. the papers she assigns are really pointless and stressful. if you can, take the CLEP test for credit instead.

She spends classes talking about her personal life rather than actually teaching anything. She grades very harshly. I failed her class with a D but got an A when I retook comp 1 with a different professor. She breaks up the main final essay into smaller assignments that are extremely stressful and time consuming.

She is a very nice professor, but she talks more about her personal life than about the papers and their expectations. She gives a lot of extra credit assignments, which is very helpful, but that is the only positive thing about her class for the most part. 3 papers are only worth 2 points, and your final paper is graded at 60% of your final grade.
