She is a classic, liberal, hummanities professor. Teaches business writing, but has no idea how business works. Talks to you like your in high school. Way too much busy work for college course, something is due every tuesday. Learn next to nothing, If I could do it over I would avoid this class.

She's nuts. I think she believes it to be 1700- she's obsessed with all things 18th century (not passionate, crazy obsessed). The work never ends and I agree with whoever said she was heartless. She has no regard for the fact that we have other classes and expects us to love this crap as much as she does... otherwise you pay!

She is unclear about every assignment and you never know what she is looking for. She is a tough grader and the assignments all overlap. Avoid her if possible

She is a very tough grader, she will give a lot of assignments at once and is not very specific in class. Lectures don't have that much to do with what we cover which made me not want to go but attendance counts. I wouldn't recommend this class.

This class was a gen ed requirement and i got a B- in this class she is a very hard grader. During class she talks about something different then what we are writing about. Tries to be funny. Go to class attendance counts don't show up late that counts. Would not take any of her classes again.

I took this class as a gen ed and I thought it would be an easy A but no. She is such a tough grader and I would neverrr take one of her classes again. She gets very off topic. Gives multiple assignments at once. Go to class she dropped my grade a whole letter grade for missing a couple classes.

I ended with an ok grade but I would not suggest this class to anyone. Wanko means well, but her class is a mess. She is a tough grader, not in a practical way. Even if you received full credit for an assignment, you get a 95. 100's do not exist in this class. I do not suggest this class for those want A's.

Wanko gives so many projects and none of them ever make any sense. She is very unclear with her directions and not helpful when you ask questions. I leave each lecture more confused than i was before, and she forced an entire project into the last week of classes. Wanted a simple writing class, instead Im making dumb websites. Wouldnt recommend.

I would have rated Wanko a 0 if I could. I believe that all of the good rates on here of her are her fake accounts. There's no way a student thought she was a good professor. Her assignment makes 0 sense, she's terrible at explaining them, her feedback is not helpful, she also nitpicks at your grade in an attempt to drop your grade. Stay away

WANKO IS AWFUL DO NOT TAKE HER FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER!! Trust me on this one, the positive reviews must be from her because theres no way anyone thinks she is a good professor. Her rating should be a 0/5. So confusing and rude and will never help you if you have a question. Stay away!!!!

Basically the schoolwork is excessive and too much. The amount of work that was completely unnecessary. Fortunately I had her for first year experience and not for more important class. Out of all my classes I had the most homework in her's, which made no sense. I had other more crucial classes like philosophy, etc. She completely monopolized time.

Adding to the point below, out of all my classes I took I only received one C on my grade-book, the rest were high B's or A's. Basically taking her class, you need to prepare for a lot of unnecessary work. I didn't do bad in the class because I didn't turn in assignments, it was because she graded the assignments like english instead of first year.

Wanko's lectures are boring and she gets mad if she can tell you aren't interested she assigns so many homework assignments as well as other things and nothing she assigns is clear nor does it make sense if you can avoid her, makes easy classes difficult

Wanko is probably one of the worst writing professors I have had in my life. She once spent 15 minutes talking about the difference between there, their and they're. Which is something that a writing 220 class should already know. She's rude when you ask questions and her projects and assignments are confusing. Her class isn't worth going to.

Professor Wanko means well, she is a very nice lady. She tried her best to be funny and make the class welcoming. But, she never helps if you have group problems, she also makes you do A TON of research and busy work before writing projects. She doesnt give that much homework, its normal essay work. But I would not recommend taking her

VERY TOUGH GRADER

She does not teach and expects you to know everything. Its impossible to get an a on any essays. Do not take her.

Easily the worst teacher I have ever had. Nothing is ever good enough for Wanko. You can meet with her multiple times in office hours discussing your essays and leave the meeting feeling confident that you're on the right track then only to receive a grade saying you failed to add multiple key components to the essay. when they weren't in the promt

Wow I hate Wanko. Never thought I'd hate a professor like this. She's awful, doesn't care about her students at all and grades terribly. I'm good at writing and somehow got a D in this class simply because of my attendance. All of the ratings saying she's amazing is probably her trying to get her rating up because NO ONE likes her. don't take.

Dr. Wanko's teaching style can be best described as incoherent and out of touch. She treats her adult students with the jaded attitude and distrust of someone who's taught 6th graders for the past 20 years. If you have any kind of learning disability, this is your sign to stay FAR away from this professor and her kelp obsession.

Wanko is the worst professor I have ever had during my time at West Chester. She is so unclear with instructions and dances around questions instead of directly answering them. She over-explains projects to the point of confusion. If you miss more than 3 classes, even with a Doctor's note (she doesn't take them), you lose a THIRD of your grade.

Please don't take her sustainable writing class. It is absolutely absurd how bad of an experience this has been for me. Cant miss more than 3 classes or a 3rd of your grade is deducted. All she talks about is her politics about sustainability, not paying to hear about that. She is difficult to speak with, im confused about 99.9% of the time.

Rude. Incapable of understanding that college students sometimes are absent. Longest hour and 15 minutes of your life. Don't take. Obsessed with kelp. Talks down to her students like they are 5 but cant explain a project for sh*t. Good luck if you take this class!

Wanko will never answer your question. What she thinks goes. She does not view her students as human beings. She cares about nothing you say. Not clear when giving directions and if you ask someone around you she butts in because she is so nosey. Extremely hostile and talks down to students. SAVE YOURSELF THE STRESS AND ANXIETY.

Dear Cheryl, writing your own reviews on here to better your rating won't change the fact many students have already contacted the dean about you. Quite literally the most outrageous teacher I have ever had to deal with. And thats an understatement. Lets you miss class for covid but not a family emergency. Get the picture yet?

Pushes her political views. Dances around important questions. You'd think after paying thousands West Chester wouldn't employ a professor that basically preys on her students' downfalls. You can do your best work the entire semester but if you miss more than 2-3 classes you are fighting for your life to pass. Nosy, disrespectful, insensitive.

FIRST AND FOREMOST SHE IS HORRIBLE OKAY LIKE THE CLASS IS A WASTE OF SPACE. IF YOU LOVE YOURSELF AND YOUR MENTAL BY ALL MEANS DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. if you do all the work and get an overall grade of A you will still fail if you have 5-6 absences, your granted a C or D fassure.

and to be continued .. Wtf is even the point of this class? to teach you how to come to class and listen to a lady talk for not an hour but an hour and 15minutes. Like save yourself, your time, and your sanity. NEVRR TF AGAIN

Came back to read about what other students thought of Wanko a year after taking her. Glad everyone is seeing her for who is really is. One time in class last year (WRT220) she said we couldn't go to the bathroom/leave the room-- Are we 5 years old? Last time I checked we are adults. This lady needs to be fired immediately.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASSES!!! She has triggered students with harmful content whether verbally or visually of videos that were "funny" but were actually banned in some cases. She has a trigger warning in the syllabus but does not apply it to each case and why except for the Dave Chapelle show. She's never clear about group projects & any assignments.

This was the most pointless class. In all the projects you have to find a video or article and instead of writing about the topic of the media you write essays about why is is reliable or how it was persuasive. Everything we learned in this class was things I learned in middle school. And Dr. Wanko is unbearably annoying and such a picky grader

Worst professor. She forces her beliefs on everyone in the class. Every class she rambles on for an hour and you have to listen to her talk about nothing because attendance is mandatory. The worst part is you learn nothing in the class but she is a brutal grader on especially everything she is supposed to be teaching. I had to force myself to go

DO NOT TAKE HER. She has bad reviews for a reason and they are all true. She is NEVER clear about directions, TALKS DOWN TO THE STUDENTS, and I also learned nothing cause all she does is ramble. This class could have been good if another professor taught it. Also, don't buy any books they are all online. Good Luck :)

Absolutely Awful Teacher. She does not work with students who miss class due to illness. Talks disrespectfully to her students, is rude in email replies, rambles on about nothing all class, and expects us to fully pay attention because she views herself as better. Attendance is mandatory and no electronics Never had a worse teacher in my life.

Wanko is probably the toughest grader ever. No matter what answer you give, she always finds a way to contradict it and make you sound like you are wrong and have no idea what you are talking about. I've never felt so discouraged by a professor before. Attendance and participation matter and will hurt your grade if you don't go/do the work

she was not compassionate for sickness or tough times. will send rude emails if ur on ur phone during class. whatever she goes on and on about during lecture doesnt make sense. directions unclear

Do not take her! She doesn't explain assignments/essays and you are so lost the whole course. She won't answer any questions and will be offended that you asked even though she never fully explained it. She doesn't give rubrics until due dates are days away, so you scramble to fit the requirements. She'll take points off and not explain why.

arent allowed to use our computers unless she says we can which is extremely frustrating bc lots of students use computers to take notes.d2l page is confusing and being able to follow along on my mac would make things easier instead of trying to figure out the maze where her assignements are posted. she just rambles on and on would not reccomend

She is the worst professor I have ever had. Should be fired, she can not teach. Gives so many assignments that aren't necessary.

Dropped after the first class. Unbeknownst to us, she changed the title, updated the syllabus, and themed the class from "Topics in Literature" to "Environmentalism & Literature". Talked more about her own political opinions than any actual literature; got the vibe that she won't grade fairly if you aren't as extremist and woke as her.

Do not take this class her grading does not make sense and you have not a lot of time for big projects

Genuinely the worst professor I've ever had. She rudely responds to emails or will not respond if they are not properly formatted, is an extremely tough grader, and fails to properly convey what is expected from the student.

I ended up with an A, but I would not recommend this professor to anyone. She was incredibly rude and uninformative in emails and an extremely tough grader. She will also randomly call on you in class and then get mad if you don't know the answer. She hates when people are on their phones and will publicly call you out. Do. Not. Take.

You will get called on to read and answer questions during class. Gives a lot of reading to do before class.

No good, very very bad. Get ready to read a lot and if you dont answer questions you get shamed. Dr. Gupta would never treat someone like this.

Very Very bad. She is crazy. Tries to push political agenda on you. She expects you to read a 400 page book in 5 days. She also gives you tons of readings she expects you to know the ins and outs of. She is a nice lady just the class is horrible. Also everything you write is on paper and pencil no online essays.

Very hard grader, takes points off for not participating in class. If you don't know the answer to something she assumes you didn't read the texts. Made us read a decent sized book like 400 ish pages in a couple days just to not talk about it. Overall worse than any high school teacher i've had. If you have her drop the class its not worth it

Extremely boring class. The rubric for assignments makes no sense. Way too political. Will talk your ear off about the environment. Inconsistent participation grades. Group projects are long and tedious. DO NOT TAKE.

assigns and expects way too much and is a very tough grader. rubrics are terrible, make no sense, and are like none i've ever seen. very rude in emails. hard to cooperate with and feels like she cares more about being right then about helping out her students who are struggling. terrible professor.
