She's hard, but if you go to her for help, she gives step by step instructions. She's also pretty hilarious.

Shes hilarious, and she makes everything super clear.

Her papers were hard but I went to her for help for each of them and got a As on all of them.

Always willing to help.

She's a tough grader, but she's fair. Like most professors she will get a bit political at times, but she's pretty nice and does her job well. I respect her more than most professors I have had.

Professor Iskander has been probably the best English instructor Ive ever had. Her assignments are interesting. She makes everything relevant, and shes crazy nice. She let me rewrite 2 of my essays which let me get an A in her class. Shes awesome. Take her.

You write a whole lot of essays in this class but if youre looking to become a better writer then she is the perfect professor. Shes a tough grader but always willing to help. The content of the class was extremely interesting ; however, if youre not an English person, take someone else. Shes so nice and made the class enjoyable.

Very helpful professor. She is a hard grader but tells you EXACTLY what she is looking for. If you follow her guideline on essays, have TLC check it and ask for help when needed, you will have no problem getting an A. Is more than willing to help anytime. She is funny and tells stories to help students remember key points.

amazing professor, definitely recommend taking this class if you are pursuing an English degree

She is a kind teacher. She is willing to help when you need it. Professor Iskander is lenient if you are sick and she will give you an extension. She's funny too! I would defiantly take her again!

Shes awesome.

Easy, basic assignments but she does grade pretty tough on essays.

I had Iskander's online class for both 101 and 103. The class is straight forward. Her assignments are clear, and she's pretty okay taking late work. The thing that made me love her classes is the reading and material are all super interesting. Her 103 class is on happiness, and I don't know of many teachers having you analyze J. Cole and Kid Cudi.

Clear cut class. She gives detailed feedback and makes her rubric available. From day one- you just need to read her assignments to be able to pass this class.

The material of the class is what makes it interesting. The format is a basic online class. Shes good about taking late work, and I rewrote an essay which took my grade from a C to an A.

Shes really approachable. Her grading is clear and pretty easy. I dont like the fact that she publishes assignments week by week, but the class is organized very clearly. I also just really loved all the reading.

She is the best professor I've ever had! She shares her own stories. She really cares about her students. She even helped me on my essays for other classes. Take her. She's awesome.

I love this woman. I loved her class. One of the best classes i've taken at COC. She teaches you to be a better person as well as a better writer. She grades hard, but she lets you rewrite essays. By the last two essays, I knew how she graded and got easy As on both those essays.

I loved everything about this class. Literally, I would look forward to it every week. The teacher was sweet, and funny and I would walk out of class every week having learned something new. The first essay was hard. You have to define happiness, but Iskander gives good feedback, and she has a clear cut rubric. I also really loved the atmosphere.

I took Professor Iskander for 101 and 103 and I loved her both times. Shes really funny, and always takes the time to really explain things when I or anyone else ask. 103 has been over for a month and Im still thinking about the lectures and reading. Happiness her class.

Professor Iskander's 103 class is AWESOME! The whole class is based on the theme of happiness. Her paper topics were relevant and include different mediums as sources which were a lot of fun. The main grades are on the papers. I really feel like I'm a much better writer and critical thinker after this class! Her teaching style is refreshing.

Listen, I'm not a fan of english and I'm mediocre at best. This professor makes learning english fun and easy. She's there to help you with your essays. If you listen and participate in class, I'm sure you will understand the material. Her lectures are great! And she offers extra credit.

Christine is awesome. I dont think I realized how good she was until I took other professors and realized that shes an absolute gem. Shes a tough grader but her essays are interesting and she gives extra credit. I got an A and I dont even like English. Take her.

Follow her instructions and you'll get an A. She's also really nice about late work.

I loved this class I love her and her stories. It felt like a family by the end of the semester.

Okay in the middle of all this corona crazieness she's been the absolute best. She's understanding and accepts late work and she let me redo assignments I didn't do well on. She's also hilarious and her class is based on happiness which has really given me a lot of perspective in a time where life has pretty much sucked. Love her. Take her.

Its like you cant help but become Christines friend. Shes such a caring professor. I got a C on the first paper, then I reviewed it with her on zoom for like an hour. Fixed everything and turned it in again and got an A. Shes a no BS person, is super lenient where it counts. I wish Id taken her for 101.

She likes long thesis statements, and she loves semi-colons. Dont get creative. If you read the prompts closely she pretty much spells out how you should write your essays. Ive gotten As on all the essays so far and its just a matter of doing what youre told.

Laid back, super nice, prof, and a really thoughtful class.

For an English class, this wasn't so bad. I took her online and she assigns work relevant to the essays she assigns. Essays hold the most weight in the class, besides the last project of the semester but they were very easy. Skipping some homework will not hurt your grade too harshly because they are each about 1-10 points where the essays are 100.

Honestly she made me love English, she is sweet, amazing, kind, and honestly overall an angel from heaven! She will guide you step by step through all 4 essays that are due throughout the semester. Easy A if you do the work. ASK when in need of help she will gladly guide you! 4 quizzes and 4 essays 1 of them is a timed in class essay. TAKE HER!!

She's an actual gem. The essays aren't hard, the content is great. Some of the discussion assignments were dry because few people took it seriously, but when I talked to her on zoom, she was so insightful. Loved her class and love her.

I just took Christines summer 101 class, and it was such a pleasant experience. Everything was clear and logical. Her essays are spelled out clearly. She looks at outlines and tells you exactly what should and should not be done. I didnt particularly enjoy the peer editing, but I see the value. Shes understanding and very human. 10/10 prof.

I took this class during summer 2020 and she was a great teacher at most. There was a lot of assignments which I understand it's a lot but they all connected back to the essays which were very helpful. I loved that she went through our thesis statement and topic sentences because I need help in those areas and it would help me improve on the essays

lets be honest, no one likes english, but shes the one teacher who made it enjoyable.

i took both her classes. Her 103 class was so much fun! its three normal papers and then an annotated bibliography. we analyzed hip hop songs and music videos. she had us thinking about the true meaning of happiness, and im still mulling it over in my mind till today. essays are straight forward, nothing too fancy. shes just a genuine person.

She forces you to think in the class. All the papers are about happiness and what it really is. The first two papers are pretty short and the last one is an 8 page research paper. All the readings are short and sweet just like her.

Prof. Iskander is amazing. Took her spring 2020, 4 papers, and a portfolio assignment. heavy reading but only 2 quizzes with easy logical answers. honestly easy A if u can follow basic instructions. She is very clear on her expectations and walks you through the essays guaranteeing an A.

This class was a breath of fresh air in the middle of all the crap of this year. Prof Iskander made us talk about stuff that was so relevant to whats happening in the world right now, and she is so understanding of people's situations. I love her and I loved this class.

I met with professor Iskander almost once a week, and she was so helpful. She talked me through my outlines and made me a stronger writer. Her class is clear cut as are her expectations, but shes sweet about everything and let me turn in things late when I told her I was overwhelmed with work.

Oops. Nvm. I got an A. Apparently the annotated thing was easy.

Is this a joke? I just read these ratings. Christines class was easy- I think I ended with over 100% because of extra credit. Its so thoughtfully put together. All the small assignments build up to the essays which are worth the majority. Im 100% a better writer because of this class. And the music was great.

Easy. Fun. Light class. I would do the work weeks ahead of time.

I love proff Iskander she was so understanding when I got sick and let me turn in everything a week later and she helped me write me second essay about King which got me a A. The book we read was great but long.

solid english class. essays are simple and everything is logical. you essentially need just need to do well on the essays to pass the class and the rest of the assignments are easy.

She's a kind professor but wants her essays written a certain way. I completely bombed the first one with a 30/100. She let me rewrite it and resubmit after meeting with me to discuss why I was given that grade, and what she expected from each essay, which was so helpful! Resubmitted and got a 99! Just make sure to follow the rubric for essays.

I was never good at English as I moved here when I was 15. She made me love it. Shes pleasant and understanding

Took Prof. Iskander for a 5 week class in the winter session. There were 3-4 assignments per day that were all pretty easy, but time consuming. All of these assignments led up to the essays that we had to write as well. She's always responded quickly to emails so that was nice. If you have questions, ask her, she's helpful and gives clear feedback.

Good Prof. Lots of essays 12 to be exact 1 anotated bilbography. This class will take up most of you're time. STEM don't take this class, you'll be more overloaded than you already are.

I had Professor Iskander over 16 weeks in the spring. We had an in-class essay every other week but they were extremely easy because she hand-fed us the evidence and arguments to do if you just attend class. She is clear cut with her grading, and extremely caring. I would 100% recommend you take her.

I absolutely love Prof Iskander, I had her for Fall 22. Her 101 class can be HARD if you are not a strong essay writer. There were about 13 essays and like 11/13 were in-class essays. However, the content of the prompt was not hard at all as long as you payed attention, did the homework, and came to class. I would 100% take again

I had her for 101 and took her again for 112 because I loved her class so much. 112 is so interesting and fun, I really loved the material and it only had 3 essays.

Prof. Iskander is really sweet and understanding, you can tell she wants all her students to succeed and she explains things really well.

great professor! loved her online class. it was my first semester of college and i was honestly pretty nervous about taking her class but i loved it! most of the grade comes from the essays but they are easy to write as long as you keep up with the reading (which isn't very heavy reading).

Professor Iskander's dedication and pedagogical expertise have greatly improved my critical reading and writing skills. Her invaluable feedback has polished my essays significantly. I highly recommend her course for anyone seeking a high-caliber professor to enhance their writing mechanics.

Prof Iskander is a great English teacher. The hardest part of the class I would say are the three essays she assigns. Basically everything else is group discussion work that she goes over with the class. She gives you extra credit by going to the TLC, rounds up grades by 2%, and the final is designed to boost your grade. Notes are allowed for tests

took during winter. rly ez class w very minimal hw (there were some texts we had to read). pretty light w grading essays. take her if u can! def one of the best and easiest winter classes ive taken.

I took this class online, homework was minimal although there isn't a lot of assignments so if you don't want to tank your grade do all the homework assignments, she provides very insightful critiques on your essays but she is also a tough grader for essays when it comes to your first essays. At times her instructions for essays can be unclear.

I genuinely loved being part of this class. She cares about students, gives helpful feedback, and is very lenient on due dates. I would take this class 10 more times.

Very memorable and personable; fun lecture style and she enjoys what she teaches. Lots of assignments and reading required, but excusable due to the nature of the class. Tough grader with essays, but resources are very accessible online. Deadlines are very lenient along with the pacing. Her personality drives the class. Again, very memorable.

The best English professor ever. She is extremely compassionate and treats her students like human beings. EXTREMELY lenient with due dates but still keeps you accountable. If you do well on the 3 essays, annotated bibliography, and 2 exams, you will most definitely pass. There are two days for making up essays and one exam. Heavy but easy reading.

Great professor who cares for the wellbeing of her students and is pretty lenient, despite her tough grading. You do have to put in some work for this class, but she is also helpful and guides you through the essays (3 of which take up 20% of your grade each). Her response times to emails are relatively fast too.
