I always looked enjoyed attending Professor Verem's class. She is a complete sweetheart and very understanding. The class consists of different units and each unit builds up to a final essay. As long as you do the work and not a half ass job then you should be fine. GREAT TEACHER! take her class.
shes wonderful. the best professor i've had so far. she helps you with anything- and is definitly a great person. she is so sweet, and very loving. fair and interested in everything you have to say. she will even help you with personal problems- she is wonderful! take this class- you most defintily will not regret it. I miss her already.
Wonderfull professor!! I did extremely well in her class and I am not that smart! I even tried to get her for the next level. She gives HW almost evey class but nothing too hard, opinions mostly. Maybe 5 papers and a portfolio at the end, no tests. Take her class!!!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER. She is young so it's easy to talk and relate to. Casual learning environment. Homework: theres homework for every class, but it's all interesting stuff to talk about. Just voice your opinion and you'll do fine. Her essay's will challenge you as a writer, but she'll walk you through it. My favorite class Spring Semester '08.
I absolutely loved her. She is very easy going and is extremely nice. You have homework every class, but mostly papers where you give your opinion on a subject. There are no tests. Essays count for a lot so make sure you do them, & you'll have to do a portfolio at the end. She'll let you fix your essays if you get a low grade. Definitely Take Her!!
Prof Verem is a great teacher. Her classes were enjoyable and rlly funny a lot of the times. My class got pretty close after this semester from the amnt of discussions we had 2gether. Verem is a hard grader, but gives you chances to improve. If u ever need her help, she's there. I def. recommend her 2 any student who wnt 2 improve their writing.
she is a good teacher but a very hard grader.
Very good teacher. Class is very entertaining and she opens your mind to a lot of things. However keep an eye on your grade because she is a hard grader.She is willing to help out and help you improve your grades so TAKE ADVANTAGE!!! HIGHLY recommended.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this teacher. Her slight scarcasam makes the class fun! She is tough when it comes to grading, but that is what helps me become a better writer! She is a great teacher and considers the point of view from all of her students when it comes down to choosing what to read for an assignment.
she is a hard grader. She gives homework basically for every class so if you have the time then go for it but if not then I would not recommend taking her. She does try to make the class fun and interesting and she will help you if you need help.
Very nice and funny professor, but also a very hard grader. The homeworks were assigned basically every class, and required lots of reading. There are 5 essays and a final portfolio. So if you have time to do all the homeworks and are prepared for " hard grading", take her
Professor Verem is probably the most outstanding professor at Montclair State University. I had for for 105 AND 106, and frankly I'm sad to not have the pleasure of being her student anymore. I think she is a FAIR grader and she will help you in any way she can to bring your grades up. I love Prof Verem, I couldn't have gotten through without her.
I really loved having Prof. Verem! She is funny and extremely helpful. I looked forward to English class each week. (= Some may say she's a hard grader, but what you give into the course is what you'll get out. I'd really recommend her. My writing most definitely improved. I'm also sad not to have her in the future.
She was probably one of the best english teachers I've ever had. She helps you through every essay and she really wants you to get an A in her class. The assignments are usually small but you should put some thought into them. The final portfolio was very simple as long as you do well with your essays in the beginning.
Shes great!!! Shes totally helpful and guides you every step of the way. I used to be a terrible writer but after taking her class im so much better. Last but not least shes super nice, i totally love and recommend her
i think shes so beautiful!
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! After her class, my writing has improved so much. I learned so much in this class! Shes helpful and really nice and makes the material interesting! She is the best!
She is a great professor and my writing as improved a lot! She wants you to good and very helpful.
Shes an awesome person. Loved being in class. There was a lot of work but I am a hard worker so it was bearable. Then, she gave me a c and I couldn't believe it. She grades every paper so hard, its like impossible to get an A. But if your up for the challenge then I'd say go for it because as a person I loved her.
Easily one of my favorite teachers ever; she assigns great stories and the assignments are really meant to test your writing skills and thus making you a great writer by the end of the class. If I could take her again I totally would because overall she was just an amazing teacher and someone who you can really look up to. She's definitely a must.
She's one of the best professors at the school. She's so pretty and funny and I never feel overwhelmed with work, but it can be a lot. Definitly be happy if you get her.
She is one of the most amazing professors who even takes the time to have an interest in her students. I would take her again if I could! The class is very challenging, but she's always there if you need help along the way. My writing definitely improved and sitting in class was enjoyable.
Professor Verem was the best professor/teacher i have ever had. She actually cares about her students and challenges them, but wants them to succeed. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met. However, you will need to work for your grade because she is tough on grades, but does this to make you a better writer. Take her!
She is honestly, the best writing professor at MSU. She is soo nice, extremely helpful, and will really help you in becoming a better writer. She encourages you to work hard, but it's all worth it. I definitely recommend her!
By far one of the best professor ever. She is very nice and I loved her class. She actually cares about her students and is there to help you. The class is challenging and she's a tough grader but overall very good. Take her if you can. You will not regret it.
She is extremely helpful and keeps the class interesting. There is plenty of writings but they are fairly simple. Get the book because she uses it constantly and stay on top of your work because even though she is easy she takes the assignments very seriously. About 4 big writings and a portfolio at the end of the course. I highly recommend her.
I took her class on Spring 2013 and she has been one of the worst professors I have ever taken. She is very clear but a VERY though grader. My advise dont take her
Shes great! So nice, such a wonderful personality. Always willing to help, gives plenty of feedback on papers so you know what to fix. Shes so knowledgeable about her field. I always looked forward to attending her class. I was never really a great writer prior to this class. She helped me come a long way. TAKE HER!!!
One of the best teachers at MSU. I strongly recommend her. She's super nice and always willing to help you. Her work can be challenging but it's definitely doable. She gives five essays and easy homework from the book. You also do a lot of peer review in 105. She's open to class discussions.I can honestly say she has helped me with my writing. :)
She is a great teacher! Tough grader but i enjoyed her class so much and she helped her students so much. I wouldnt mind taking her again
She's really nice and will help you whenever you ask for it. The only thing is she's a tough grader. There is a assignment due every class. But she's chilled, Take her if your good at writing or else your grade won't reflect what you've learned.
She made me hate writing.. I tried so hard in her class. No matter how hard a tried, i would always end up with a C. No point in trying anymore. I asked her for help, and her help was not that great either. I didnt have a good experience :(
I was a really bad writer before I took her class. She does have high standards but ita worth it. You're in college, you have to write at a college level. She is doing that. She's easygoing and not boring like other professors.
By far the worst teacher I ever had in my life. She is such a strict teacher. I tired so hard in that class and never got higher than a C-. Her help was pointless and never helpful. She does nothing to help you out. Honestly, if you have her, SWITCH OUT. I always loved writing, but after taking her class, she made me hate writing overall !!!!
Best professor I've had. I've had her for 2 semesters and she's an amazing professor. Extremely helpful and if you really want to improve your writing she's the teacher to go to. Work load is college level obviously, it's not high school anymore. She's a tough grader but if you're determined to get an A it makes your work harder.
Professor Verem made class interesting by the way in which she analyzed the literature we were discussing. Obtaining a good grade in her class really depends on YOU and how much effort you put into writing. She is always there to help whether it is after class or through email. I would definitely recommend her! Such an amazing professor!
Prof. Verem was my very first English professor ever, and helped solidify that teaching English is what I want to do with my life. I didn't do as well in her class as I had hoped, but I definitely learned a lot from her. A truly spectacular teacher. I'd recommend her to anyone.
I never liked writing until I took Prof. Verem's class. She made me excited to write and always paid close personal attention to each of her students. Its not a hard class, but there is a fair amount of work. Assignments each week including twitter chats and 4 essays. It was never overwhelming if you did your work on time. LOVED HER
The topics that we cover in class are extremely thought provoking. She makes things extremely clear, but won't spoon feed you any answers. Essays are tough but that's how it is with every class. There is also enough liberty on the essays to write about what you are passionate about within the lesson topic.
TOUGH GRADER. she was my first writing professor in college... worst professor ever... TAKE HER IF YOU WANNA GET B BELOW! she does give clear feedback though.. but... TOUGH TOUGH GRADER... I WOULDNT TAKE HER AGAIN.... I SHOULDVE DROP before.. so I Can have better grade...
She is a pretty good writing teacher compared to the other ones at MSU. She tries to make class fun which she does. She assigns four papers for the semester and a final portfolio project. The average grade on papers was B- because she gave everyone the same grades in the class. The semester starts off easy but as it goes on it gets harder.
Professor Verem is awesome, definitely my favorite professor from my first semester. She is super funny and always makes class interesting - though she is a tough grader and some of the essays are hard, she is always available to answer questions & is there for her students. She's SO nice and I loved her funny anecdotes.
She is super sweet and is always around to help. She's a very tough grader and her essays can be complicated. You have to earn your grade you can't slack off. You have a homework assignment due every class but it helps for the essays. There are 4 essays and a final portfolio. Although the class was tough she always made it fun.
Had Verem for 105 and 106 for hybrid, amazing is the one word that I would describe her with. She made English writing interesting and she is the the nicest professor I have ever had. Class is also easy, you meet once a week in person and once online to talk on twitter, all you write is 4 pages and canvas posts.
She is an extremely tough grader, and is not the best at telling you what is actually wrong with your essay until the portfolio. Keep in mind that final grades are disabled until you receive your actual grade at the end of he semester. Her lectures are interesting to say the least.
She is a wonderful teacher. If you ask for help, she is 100% always there for you. She is a tough grader, but gives you great feedback in order to make it worth an A. She's not only a teacher, but can be your friend as well, if your having a tough time she understands and is willing to help you with anything. I took her for 105 & 106, great teacher
Professor Verem was a sweetheart. She is a tough grader but if you need help she will be there 100% to help you get an A and do better.
Best. Professor. Ever! I absolutely adore Professor Verem! She's so nice and cares about each student individually. She always helps you whenever you need it. It's a very safe learning environment and she definitely helped make the transition from high school writing to college writing very smooth. Whatever other class she teaches, sign me up!
I absolutely loved Professor Christa! She was so nice and energetic, even with my class being at 7am. She gave excellent feedback and helped make the module essay assignments easy and personal. Be sure to hand in the assignments on time. Although she was a tough grader, I would definitely take her again if I could.
Great professor, she has a very bright and energetic personality. She will try to make the topic as fun as possible but being such a boring topic (for me) I still had a hard time staying awake. Don't be fooled by her outgoing personality because she is a tough grader but she's not the worst grader, nor the best.
Professor Verem was great. She truly cared for her students and it showed. Professor Verem gave great feedback right away. Show up and pay attention in her class and you will do great. I would definitely take her again. I recommend a lot.
I had Professor Verem as a first-year student many years ago for both of her classes (ENWR 105&106). She was amazing then as a professor, and she still keeps in touch and supports me now as an alumnae of the school. 10/10 would recommend.
An amazing professor who really cares about helping her students pass. Shes starts up amazing lecture topics and is available outside of class. She wants to see her students do well.
Brings up great topics to discuss! Is always willing to help you and gives great feedback. She is so great I had to take her for WRIT 106 too.
Very enthusiastic in her teachings. She is very optimistic, and engaging with the class. Tough with her grading, but she is fair. Always gives good feedback, and is easy to reach. A pleasure to have been in her class.
Such a sweet soul!! So kind and caring of her students, and gives the best feedback. She really takes the time to get to know her students, and help them in any way she can. She is very good at responding to email's which I appreciate. Her grading critera is clear, and she gives plenty of time to complete all your drafts. Not a hard grader at all!
I love her and she changed my life. Like she is the most motivating professor I have ever met. she is so enthusiastic and makes you feel so smart and capable. I love her and I have her to that for my writing confidence. LOVE HER. she is soooo approachable, and chill, and not bias AT ALL. adore her. she is stylish and quirky too and never a bore!
Love this professor. She is very kind and laid back. If you were to take anyone for writing take Verem. 3 papers and you can redo them. She is a tough grader on papers but you are allowed to revise them for a better grade. The homework is really simple, you just have to read and answer a few questions, do drafts for your essays.
Everyone should take Professor Verem's class. I had her for WRIT 105 and loved her class. She is extremely nice and is there for you if you need help. (She answers her emails quick too) If you have the chance to take her class, DO IT!
I loved Prof. Verem, i looked forward to going to her class. She gives good feedback and is accessible outside the classroom if you need extra guidance in your papers. TAKE HER. She is one of the nicest professors I have came across yet
Professor Verem is the best teacher that I had for English. She is very kind and helpful. You can reach her at any point during the semester. She helps you if you ask for it. She gives great feedback that will help you to improve your writing. TAKE HER CLASS, it is very fun and you can learn a lot and improve a lot your writing.
If you need to take a writing course, TAKE ONE WITH PROF. CHRISTA!! She is one of the best professors at Montclair. She is very easy to talk to and get a hold of outside of class. She gives you a lot of creative freedom and she is a pretty fair grader.
Christa was so much fun! She made writing interesting, even for someone like me who hates it. Course was easy and Christa is very sweet and looks out for her students. Of course, there were papers, but all other assignments were easy and sort of fun. Class was synchronous online, with a few optional in person meetings. Would 100% take her again.
She is absolutely amazing. She truly cares about her students and their mental well-being. The assignments and expectations are always clear. I was never stressed from here course. Easily recommend
This professor lives by what they said at the beginning of the course, where it would be based on effort. She is extremely helpful and cares about your needs being met. I had food poisoning and she gave me blanket flexibility for assignments. She is a fair and honest professor with energy that emanates through an async course. 100% would recommend.
Professor Verem is literally the best WRIT prof you can have. She is understanding about everything. There are few assignments but a paper that may be unclear, but just ask lots of questions! Its a different type of writing class but you discuss cool topics. If you have any thing personal going on in your life she totally understands.
Professor Verem is a passionate English educator who cares about the success of her students. Extra help is available to anyone who asks for it. As long as you put in the effort, grades shouldn't be a concern.
Amazing prof, cares about students and is very nice. The essay topic wasnt my cup of tea, research and fairytales, making the semester long essay a little boring but she knows how to engage students. Gives lots of extra credit for participating and volunteering your work but sometimes it seems she tries to make classes too student involved. 10/10
She's the best a human being could ever be. She's caring, helpful, easy to talk to, hilarious, has both educational and fun classes, and respects all her students and really wants them to do well. She creates a very welcoming, and comfortable environment that made it easier to make friends. It is not hard to get an A. Incredible professor.
This professor was the best. Her class is so fun you don't want to leave her class at times. Her assignments are really fun and super easy. It's very easy to get an A in this class. She is very caring to her students. You will find yourself enjoying her class throughout the whole semester.
love love love her. i hate writing but she actually made it doable. 3 essays but she takes it step by step so its not a ton of work all at once. i loved her personality and her teaching style, very understanding and laid back but wasn't a slacker or anything. she was always so sweet and would try to get to know her students, 10/10
one of my favorite professors so far. I took her class previously online in writ105 and loved it. so you know i had to take her again for another semester! she takes the essays step by step because she cares a lot about the process than the quantity! definitely take her!! she is sweet, caring and also very pretty!! easy A if you try your best! :)
I've never been a big fan of writing, but Christa makes it somewhat enjoyable. She allowed us to write about media of our choosing which makes it easier for me to write passionately. She also is very lenient and gives a lot of extra credit opportunities so make sure to take advantage of them. She's a great choice when you inevitably take WRIT106.
she is such an amazing prof, she helped me get through literally not knowing how to write an essay outside of being taught in middle school. We have class discussions and are encouraced to talk. this call was a safe space and honestly, my favorite class this semester. Taking writing 106 next semester and i will do anything to have her be my prof
she is the absolute best, and helps you step by step in the essay writing process so that you receive the highest grade possible. cancells class during writing process to give time to brainstorm. shes great I cant say anything negative about her
OH I ABSOLUTELY ADORED HER, such a caring professor who's so incredibly understanding and patient for everything. She cares about her students so much and makes it such a safe space for everyone, talks about the importance of taking care of yourself every time!! I would definitely take her again which I am next semester !!! love her classes.
I had her for 105 and I absolutely loved her, taking her again now for 106. she cares about everyones thoughts and knows how to keep a class engaged. perfect work load. there are a lot of opportunities to make up any credit. I love writing essays in her class because the topics are always so interesting and fun to explore.
Best English professor ever, take her if you have the chance
good professor and easy class! Take her!!
love her so baddd shes the best professor ive ever had and i had her for 105 and 106
so nice & amazing
Love Christa down she has the best lectures they're not boring at all really engaging the whole class gets involved and she's really just a light in a dark room 10/10 amazing!
She is kind and also provides enough work appropriate. Her class is engaging and encourages people to talk without being called randomly since the environment is welcoming.
Honestly, LOVE HER! She actually wants to see her students succeed inside and outside the classroom. Always makes sure we are doing well, whether it is school-related or non-school-related. Very understanding of outside responsibilities and deadlines. Gives strong and helpful detailed feedback.
