I started out liking this teacher , but quickly figured out that this teacher couldnt teach. She's extremely nervous in front of a class, talks about random meaningless things, and tells you how much you suck at wrting. By April (the class was from Jan-May) half of the class had dropped and on a good day maybe ten people would be there.
Mrs. W was fair and always availabe at office hours for help. If you are in the class you better work hard because she doesn't lower her standards for anyone. At first she seemed strict but eased up after Spring Break. People who want to get over should not take her class.
I just got my midterm grade. I have an A. Mrs. Washington explains alot of stuff to us; some of the grammar I already know but I guess some of the other people don't. She's cool but don't eat in her class or text.AND DO THE DRAFTS AND WORK. Those points add up.
I have a high b right now, an 87. I hope she gives some "you tried hard points." I like this class 'cause we basically get to pick our own topics. It's hard to write about something you don't like. Anyway I think I have a good grade 'cause of the topic choice. I agree with the poster who said the drafting points add up. Extra credit helps.
Bring your book all the time. We do alot of practice exercises w/o the book, but some days she'll bust out, "Turn in your text..." Irks me. She also has bad hair. But whatever; she has helped me w/extra drafts on all the papers. I can't complain. And I think I can use a semicolon and can sustain a thesis. Does that make me a good writer? Duh?
cool. i totally feel comfortable with writing now. I like the drafts and all the feedback. Is she teaching 302?
I really enjoyed her class. She was always hard on herself, and sometimes unsure of herself, but I learned a lot in class, and she gave me a lot of confindence to write. Not a lot of people in the class liked her way of teaching, but I found it helpful and interesting. And she brought food every once in a while which was always nice!
Always told me exactly what I was doing wrong and right. I liked this about her. I like how she responds to my email & stays xtra to help. Students who don't like her is because she makes you work. You earn your grade. No freebies from her. Lowers your participation grade for texting. Hates texting.
This teacher was so much fun. She is fun to be around and I learned so much from her! I came in to her class with having two years of off schooling just to work, and with a learning disability, and ended up with an A in her class. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
I RECOMMEND this professor!!! She has a great and energitic personality!! Great teaching,and you get great feedbacks from her about essay. She is great at what she do and it is being a professor who is able to help you understand how to write essays. I am super super comfortable with my writing all because of her!!! TAKE HER!!!!
Great teacher! She will always help you when you need help and her grading is fair. Do all your essays and drafts and she'll know you care about succeeding in writting and your grade as well. I recommend her.
This was my favorite class. She's very funny and energetic and gives good feedback on essays especially if you email them. It is easier to read than the ones she writes on. I think she's pretty cute too for someone her age.
Not a CRC student. She was my teacher at ITT. Totally helpful. Some teachers act like you are bothering them; she always helped me get ideas. And I agree with the person who said she is cute. She's cute because she doesn't even know it. I also like the feedback I got via email with the comment boxes. She's pretty fast about emails.
Pro. Washington is a stud! She's a random one, but very funny. She kept our boring class interesting. I would recommend her to anyone!
I think she was one of my best teacher in Fall last year becuase she is a helpful person and she also leasting to you when u need it.
She's really cool and understanding with late papers and stuff. I had a hard time this semester with personal issues; she let me turn my stuff in. This was pretty helpful. Also, she creates an environment of beauty and peace in the class, which seems to be a reflection of where she is spiritually. I think this outlook balances the class when peopl
Great Teacher and women..completly understanding in everyway..i never liked writing at all! but after having her it complelty changed my views on writing..i love it now..totally recommend her as a professor..very intertaining class also.
she a koo teacher entertaining but be prepared to write hella essays and i mean alot!!
Approachable and fair but will ask you to leave if you disrupt class-I like that she gives good feedback on my emails. Some instructors don't help outside class; she does. Also, she helped me with some assignments that weren't for English-history. Cool.
She's always going off topic talking about her little life stories, which helps makes time go by faster. If you're talkative, she will like you. Otherwise, she's pretty easy.
Really nice and entertaining class. Second time taking the class, and some courses are boring; however, she keeps the conversation going pretty well. Wish she was teaching 300. I'll kind of miss her.
Professor Washington is extremely helpful. This semester, she gives quite many papers to write, but on the bright side, my writing skill improves greatly. Take her if you really want to learn. She'll help you as much as you want. If she teaches ENGWR 300, I will definitely take her class. Thanks a lot for your help, Professor Washington!
She's a great teacher!!! Very helpful if you ask. ~7 essays for the whole time. Also 7-8 reading assignments. A midterm, and a final exam. Easy to be driven out of her lecture. You'll know what I mean when you take her class. But she's cute and funny. Your writing skill will definitely improve. Thanks Ms. Washington :)
7-8 ESSAYS, IN CLASS ESSAYS EVERY WEEK, GRAMMAR QUIZZES EVERY 2 WEEKS. SHE DOES MAKE YOU DO ALOT. I FOUND MOST DAYS POINTLESS SINCE ALL WE DO IS GO OVER SAMPLE ESSAYS OR HOW TO WRITE AN ESSAY. ALSO PEER REVIEW IS HOW YOU GET ANY FEEDBACK & SOME PEOPLE DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TAKING ABOUT. I FIND HER USELESS AND SHE USES SARCASM TO PUT YOU DOWN
She is a great teacher. wrote like 5 essays. 3 in class essay just like any typical english class. my class very entertaining because of student and she also joins in with the fun. so she not strict or anything. i would highly recommend her to anyone. im taking her for ENGWR 300 with her during the summer too. ps. she has nice hair
Shes a nice teacher-She knows what shes doing and shes clear about her work. She does in-class essays and she has essays that are to be written at home. The down fall of this teacher is if shes having a bad day, she shows it. I seen her rolling her eyes at students before. And she likes to tease students jokingly at times.
Really cool teacher. I'm an older student; I think she and the others have a hard job because people in the back are so disrespectful and rude. She does a good job of "checking" people's behavior and teaching the class. Lots of essays, but she make sit fun. Will take in the summer
I kinda feel like she ruined it for me. She is engaging but in a condescending kind of way. no late work even if your on your death bed, sorta, i had food poisoning. i felt there was too much writing. i know its an English class, but it was a bit much with all the reading. gave us grammar quizzes but never taught it. kinda argumentative/rude
she is a mess because she would lose all of our papers and think we did it. with all of the readings and writing i think the best thing she could have gave us was to redo our essay's
My 2nd ses. w/ her! She's awesome, enthusiastic & funny. She loves to tease students sometimes, but it's harmless, so no worries. I love JLC by Amy Tan. She made a good choice. Quite a few essays, but it's worth it. She's very open with ideas. She's sad if you don't contribute in class. It's really a shame for just sit there and do nothing. Cool.
I love her. She is positive and make us work. She doesn't doubt us for a second. She tries to get us to talk. There was alot of writing. It's not a class to take if you are lazy.
Tries to get you to think about the big picture and express it in the papers. Teaches the fundamentals, too. Pretty nice.
Absolutely LOVED this teacher! i wasn't a big fan of English but she helped me improve my writing skills. she really cares about her students and helps them in any way possible. She is willing to work with you on your papers and makes sure you understand everything fully. I highly recommend her!
i took her summer course and Ms. washington is the best! i love her bubbly personality. her laugh is so cute too. i like the way to explain things with personal experiences/stories. her assignments are not that hard, you just got to put some effort into it. i enjoyed going to class everyday! totally recommend! =)
Professor has a good personality, charming, and very playful. She will help you, but she is a very busy person so do not abuse her time.
There was a lot of writing, but I just finished taking English 300 this summer and finished with an A. Thanks to her preparing me. Hang in there; it's worth it.
Great teacher. I learned a lot from her class.I feel like my writing improve a lot. She likes it when you engage with the conversation or sometime she'll put you on the spot. Pay attention.
Good teacher! My writing and thinking skills improved a lot. Her lectures and class discussions were helpful. Her quizzes are easy if you pay attention to her lectures.
I can honestly say, she is the best professor out of all that I've had. I had her class in the Summer Semester and she was AWESOME. She has the best personality! She's nice, but don't try to take advantage of her cause she doesn't tolerate excuses. She's still AWESOME though. :)
She makes you write ALOT. If you don't want to write papers, then take another class. My friend's class wrote four papers. We wrote about eight or ten if you count what we did in class. She wants you to learn the basics. Lets you pick the topic. Pretty good.
Ms. Washington is a great professor. On the first day of class she was kind of intimidating, but as the class moved forward she bacame my favorite teacher of the semester. I have the hardest time in english, but her class is very helpful, precise, and clear.
I took her class at 7:30 in the morning last semester. She's really funny, but she makes sure you know the basics and fundamentals. She really explains things in a way you can understand. I liked the class. Wish I could have added her English 300 class.
I enjoyed her class. She liked to joke around and knew all of the students on a first name or last name basis. She tried to get all of her students to engage in discussion. Read the textbooks assigned because they're important for quizzes and papers! We had 6 major papers and about 10 Outrage summary responses. Just do your work and go to class!
Explains everything very clearly, I started with a low grade, but because of her teaching style, my grade has improved, a lot! Always willing to explain something for you. Always have her look at your work during office hours!! Office hours has also helped me a lot. Attendance is mandatory. She doesn't like you using a phone or tablet during class.
Great Professor! She really helped improve my writing. She's very nice and gives out extra credit from time to time. Read two books throughout the whole semester. Took a few quizzes, along with 6 essays. If you put in effort, her class can be super easy.
Great Teacher! Recommend to anyone looking for a fun class!
could use a flat iron or press but she is answers your emails and helps you. Explains why you earned you grade. Pretty good. email your paper and she will give you feedback too. when i couldn't make office hours, i sent the email.
Her class is actually fun, she has a sense of humor and keeps the class entertained. She is a great grader and usually gives easy assignments. Love the group discussions we have in class.
Nice. Easy papers. Explains everything. Sometimes too much explaining. And I got an A. or will get an A.
She was a fun professor that gave a lot of information and instruction on each topic. She will help if you ask for it.
She has a good sense of humor. It made the class fun. She's very thorough and offers a lot of extra credit opportunities.
Easy class. She's kind of funny and not a tough grader. The quizzes are on the stories from the book. The writing assignments were 3 page papers.
She will make you work. If you are like me bad at writing essay. You will see your essays improve as you progress.
4 essays and 1 final paper along with a small presentation. Her grading scale is a little harder than others- you might get a B in other classes but it's a C to her. She's clear about what she expects and wants in students. Easy going and reasonable. Gives an opportunity to rewrite papers towards the end of the semester. Mandatory attendance.
She's the only teacher that encourages everyone to interact with each other. She's hilarious, offers extra credit, she even sends out emails to thank students and encourage them. Her class is the least boring (I usually hate English class). She brings her personal life and students lives to compare and discuss situations, making it easy to learn.
I don't enjoy writing, but after this class, I felt that my writing skills improved. Had to write 5 essays ranging from 3 to 5 pages. There were lots of interesting class discussions in which she encouraged student input. Great sense of humor, very approachable, and gave straightforward feedback on essays. I would definitely recommend taking her.
The best English professor i had ever had. She made the class fun and easy; when a student have a question she explains it good so the student understand.
Ms. Washington is the best teacher I've ever had and definitely taking her again in English 300! She is so funny and down-to-earth. She is very helpful and explains homework and assignment instructions very well.
She's great at explaining whats going on in class. Great discussions and very helpful with feedback with essays.
I took her 101 class over the summer and loved it. She is a great teacher with a good sense of humor and is extremely motivating. We had 4 papers ranging 2-5 pages(fun topics), 2 grammar quizzes, midterm and final. She always gives good feedback and is very clear about her expectations. Highly recommend and will definitely try to take her for 300!!
The best teacher i ever took makes everything clear on essays and in class work. She is funny makes class fun where everyone want to class and learn.
Ms. Washington is an amazing professor. At first I was unsure, but it is obvious she has a great sense of humor and enjoys teaching . You can tell that she cares about her job, and she engages in interesting conversations in class. I would recommend her to everyone.
This professor never once gave up on me all term. It did not matter if I stood out in class as the most difficult to approach. Professor Washington strives each day to do her best giving inspiration to each one of her students. The kindness she has shown me was unexpected and rare especially considering how difficult I am as a student. Thank you.
Super awesome teacher, but i didnt try hard enough, so its my fault i didnt do well...
Great professor, super funny and really easy going, i would definitely retake her class! I got a B but it was a fairly easy class if you like english. Alot of essays but very straight forward
She's awesome! Had her for 101 and currently taking her for 300. Good sense of humor and gives good feedback on all your work as far as what she took points off for. Very clear expectations, and over all just a great teacher. There's at least 6, 3-5 page essays but it's a English writing class... and she gives fun topics to choose from. Take her!!!
In professor Washington's class expect to (write 4 summaries) that you will be reading in the course textbook and to write (5 essays) throughout the semester. Either than that she's a really cool layback professor. All you have to do is just show up and put the time and effort in your papers and you should be able to pass her class.
Professor Washingtons class was always something I looked forward to. I hate class but she made it so enjoyable and she is hilarious. Its never boring in her class. She does have a lot of things due but its not hard at all. Word of advice: since there are always assignments due you should right them in a planner so you dont forget to do them.
Professor Washington expects nothing but the best from all of her students. So, as a student, do your best and she will help you with whatever it is you need. Have a question? She has an answer. But if you don't show up for class, then do not expect a passing grade. All assignments are doable. I took her for summer, and passed with an 85.24%.
Professor Washington is great! She makes class enjoyable. I dread English but the way she teaches makes you like coming to class. Shes very funny and truly cares about her students. Participation is important so that class doesn't get boring and she isn't the only one talking, but she doesn't make participation mandatory.
She knows how to teach a class. Can carry a conversation about the class material and actually make it interesting. :)
She is a good teacher, she really wants the students to know what you are writing. I took her summer class and there was 4 essays. A midterm that was online. Also a final, but if you do not miss any days of school you don't need to take the final. You need to read and participate for points in class. Sometime there is pop quizzes as well.
This class has a lot of papers which is expected. Professor Washington gives very good feedback to your writing, and she divide students into groups for discussion and peer reviews. I think my writing skill greatly improved after taking her class.
If 5/10 is average, she' a 4/10. For lectures, she covers many of the points, but tends to neglect important details. She's a bit sensitive as though speaking to a teenager. Grades fairly gives constructive feedback. Not amazing but not the worse.
I took her as my first professor when I just started college and she is tough grader you have put all your effort into everything you turn in. she is a great person tough her class is never boring she's funny. attendance very mandatory will be dropped after third absence. If you are a great writer who works hard take her if you want an easy A dont
Tries too hard to be open with every student. If you're taking a morning with her then you must be awake enough to participate as she will get irritated. Tough grader as she expects everyone to be at a certain level since you're in 301. Will constantly remind you she was in the army and if you get 100% attendance you will be exempt from the final.
Its an interesting class. She gives you a choice in how you want to be graded : journal or quiz. I recommend the journals; they are easier. Final project is your own choice, so thats good. Shes approachable-knows everyones name.
She is a tough grader and a lot of small homeworks. Her class like more than 6 units class.
You will pass if you put in the effort. Make sure you read the books assigned there are quizzes. Total of 4 essays. The last essay is the final and is 8 pages. She always complimented my essays even though I did them last minute. Many extra credit opportunities. Very lenient, would often push back due dates. Gave feedback on every assignment!
Professor Washingtons class was really enjoyable. All the discussions had different topics and made the reading interesting. There is no text book required but there were two books that we had to purchase that was needed for assignments and papers. My suggestion is, if you don't keep up with the reading and the discussion board, you'll fail.
I really admire Professor Washington. She was one of the few English professors at CRC that I taught me how to develop my creativity and writing process. She was intimidating at first, but she really is a caring and understanding professor. Id recommend her if youre ready to improve your critical thinking and writing skills.
Professor Washington truly cares. She breaks lessons down to help understand terms in everyday life. Shows care and compassion for all students and wants everyone to succeed
She gives good feedback on your essays on what you need to improve on before you submit your final part of your essay. There is a total of 4-5 essays so be prepared. There is a lot of extra credit opportunities. She kinds nitpicky on how she wants things
I think that if you did alright in your high school English class, then you'll do well in this class as well. If you are unfamiliar with how to format in MLA style, you'll definitely want to pay close attention. I think she takes a bit too many points off for small grammatical errors. One required book, free at the library. VERY easy Extra Credit.
She was patient during Covid with deadlines, and the reading connected to what we see in the world. I like how she does not push her views on people
She is a really tough grader on papers but accommodates new English speakers. She can be funny sometimes, and as long as you read the books she assigns(a lot of reading) you're fine for tests/papers.
She is fair and consistent. Responds to email fast, but nit picky on format.
I was iffy with her at first, but I grew to respect her as a professor. She helped me a lot with formatting issues on papers and being able to analyze text better. She wasn't a tough grader but was a somewhat picky grader, but it's for a reason. She is also very understanding if you have a lot of questions or if you have a lot going on.
We read a lot, but the essays were easy. She is clear about what she expects and gives good feedback. The rubric is easy to follow and standard. I would say she is an r
the biggest cons were the amount of readings, and her feedback which seemed fairly opinion-based. though the discussions helped w/ readings, it was definitely hard to manage with my other classes, work, and personal life. i'd definitely recommend this class if you love to read! accepts late work and always listened to students' needs and concerns!
Lack of instructions for HW and assignments.
She is a yapper in some classes we don't do anything but listen to her talk. A lot of free writing, and group discussions, and she doesn't take long at grading. She is very strict at grading essays but if you are naturally good at writing you'll be fine.
Too many readings, some are just not fun to read and way too long. She may randomly call on you so be aware. Essays are graded very hard and is very vague about what she wants on those essays. Attendance is basically mandatory as it is part of your grade. If you don't like reading a lot of material, probably best to take another professor.
Professor Washington is fair but particular. The class has a lot of small assignments, but she's understanding. Unstuckstudy helped me prepare for quizzes and stay on top of things.
Lectures were pretty boring, I notice a lot of people are trying to not fall asleep or try to sneak on their phones. Too much reading for a 3 unit class and some readings are just not relevant or necessary at all. Told us we only need to know 6 stories well for our first big quiz, then proceeds to put specific quotes from all 20 stories to match.
A lot of reading in this class and a lot of long lectures, she grades hard on essays, VERY HARD QUIZES, butit'ss an easy class to pass. Make sure you do your work on time and read as well. But she did remind me of Robin Williams in a way.
Lots of reading assigned per week, which is difficult to keep up with. Don't take if reading isn't your strength. Grades harshly on the essays but the quizzes are alright. Being absent or late too many times will badly impact your participation grade in the end. Lectures were pretty boring. Do all the work on time and you can probably pass.
Lots of reading. And essays. Best thing is the extra credit . Extra credit up to 40 points. I got an A. She worked with me when I was sick.
Super encouraging and definitely cares about her student's success. Course is fairly easy and doable, except for essays, which we got about a week to write (it was a summer course though). She'll take the time to email you with helpful videos and explanations if she noticed something you needed help with and has office hours for help.
