One of the best teachers at UMUC. I learned more from her then any of my other English or Writing classes. She is helpful and cares about your grade and she is full of energy. She grades fairly and honestly. I would take any of her classes again in a heart beat.
She is super fun and I learned a lot.
WTG 293 with Dr. W was a great class. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thanks to the atmosphere, I found it easy to participate and learn. UMUC provided all materials needed online which also saved time and money. Because I benefitted from this class educational wise, I have enrolled for another writing class with Dr. W. Thanks for all you taught me.
Dr. W is one of the best instructors I have ever had. Not only is she the most engaging but she actually cares about each and every student. She helps those who have a different way of learning and pushes those whom she knows can do better. All in all UMUC found a gem and I hope they keep her!
One of best instructors i've had with UMUC. If I could I would take every course she offers.
Just plain awesome. By far, one of the best instructors i've had.
Great teacher.... Dr.W has an exciting way of teacher and always brings out the best in her student. She is just a good-hearted, loving person who truly wants you to learn and succeed. She was my first college class, and I am truly hoping that my future instructors and professors are as wonderful as she was.
I learned a lot from this class and actually learn to how to write a resume.
She is an interesting person with a lot of professional work history. Her contribution to the content was significant and relative. She clearly cares about her students learning the subject matter and is not singularly focused on the grades. She was excellent. I wish I had more writing classes required in my degree so I could take her class again.
Had the most amazing time learning about Scottish literature and history. She knows her Scottish literature! Just listen to her and you will learn more than you think.
Gave us an in depth submersion in Scotland. The trip was amazing. The history was all around us. She made learning so enjoyable.
Dr. W is one of my favorite Professors. I wish she taught here in Naples instead of Germany! I've taken two of her classes both of them Field Studies. They were both really well organized and crazy fun. She really connects with her students and tries to give us the best experience possible. I definitely recommend her as your next professor!
Great professor, I learned a lot in this class
This was one of the more interesting classes I've taken in a long while. The professor was engaging and informative, as well as fair. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and would love to have her teach me again. Really cool lady!
Fun Professor! Enjoyed coming to class. Made the class community fun to be in. Everyone was a valued part of the whole. I also liked that she made a point of remembering our names.
One of the best professors I've had at UMUC. I have taken multiple classes with her and will continue to do so. Exceptional instructor for the field studies as well. Summary: Great teachers recognize students with potential, and students with potential recognize great education when they receive it. C2
Dr. Wettlaufer-Adcock is an AMAZING professor, she's by far the best professor I've had. I wish I could take one of her classes again. She's very down to earth and understanding and makes you want to show up and participate in class. If you have the opportunity to take one of her courses you won't be disappointed!
Dr. W. typically wouldnt teach this subject, but I am so glad she did! Her English background really helped students developed writing skills while the film aspect made the material so fun. We wrote short essays each week based on opinion. The Hybrid version of this kept us from needing to complete a final or a weekly quiz.
I have taken two classes with Professor Wettlaufer and there is a reason for that. She is an inspirational teacher and an amazing person. She is direct with instructions and does not waste students time. She wants students to succeed but will not tolerate lack of effort. I do not think she could be better.
Dr. W is second to none. She is an exceptional instructor and is effective in her teaching methods. Her field study in Edinburgh, Scotland was amazing. It was full of fun academic learning events that I will never forget. All student's should hope to have an instructor like her. I hope our paths cross again in the future.
Very nice teacher
Dr. W explains writing in the most simplistic way. She gives extra care to those who need more help. By far the best Professor I have had.
She is AMAZING!!! Funny and no nonsense. There is no way you can walk out of each class without learning something from the class and well as a life lesson. Take one class and I guarantee that you will want to take every class that she is in. Strong, Confident, Hilarious, and knows her stuff; definitely one of the best teachers that I've ever had.
Dr.W is always available for you, she genuinely wants you to succeed . She's exciting, energetic and there's never a dull moment in her class. Also , she has the greatest stories ever!
I had the pleasure of participating in a field-study to Ireland with Dr. W, and it was the most fun I've ever had taking a course. Make no mistake about it, you are expected to do the work, but she makes it easy. She is incredibly enthusiastic about her job and will take you under her wing to ensure you are getting the most out of your experience.
This writing class one of my favorite classes that I have taken in my college career so far. I was DREADING this class because I did not want to sit at a desk for 3 hours learning about how to write, but once I met the professor I knew I would absolutely love the class and I did. She literally made writing fun and she was so fun to be around!
I have taken several classes with her. He is fun, inspirational, and amazing. You can expect to work for your grade if you take any upper-level class with her, but she will always work with you. I have recommended her classes to all of my friends. I hope I will get a chance to take another class with her again.
Without a doubt, one of the best professors I have ever experienced. As much as I hate writing, I truly enjoyed her class. I have no doubt any class she teaches would be a great experience to have.
Great Prof! I will look for any chance I get to take another class with her for my major.
Great professor, and very helpful when it comes to assignments. I enjoyed the class room environment and I can honestly say I have become more confident with APA format.
She is an amazing instructor, especially for military students. Super relatable. Briliant and energetic woman. I appreciate her love of teaching!
Great class, she really works with her students at all levels.
Dr. W is a professor unlike any other. She does more than just teach you about a subject. She provides life lessons and brings people out of their shells. No matter how much you think you know, she will teach you something.
Dr. W. is the most inspirational and enthusiastic professor I've ever had. I've never attended a class that was so engaging or interesting. The assignments can be difficult if you don't prepare but Dr. W. is so present in her classes she makes you want to know more about the subject matter. I highly recommended taking her classes.
Dr. W has an amazing way of making class fun and educational. She easily adapts lessons to fit her students, no matter their level. She has a way of making each student feel acknowledged and important, no matter how large the class. Students take her classes because she teaches it, not because they need it. Her field studies are life changing!
She's probably the coolest teacher I've ever had. She doesn't mess around though. She doesn't have any patience for sloppiness, laziness, or drama. She is a hard grader and will definitely make you work for your grade, but she'll make you want to work hard. She is an excellent teacher! Basically, I wouldn't want anyone else up in front of my class.
She is an amazing instructor. I did not care about poetry or literature before I took a class with her, now I am obsessed with it.
I absolutely loved having Dr. W. She is a gem and her choices made the class come to life. I would take any of her classes, she was a hoot in and out of class. Most teachers care more about what you score on your tests, she cares more whether you learned what she taught, then how well you tested. I am considering changing my degree because of her.
Dr. W is my favorite Professor! I took two Field Study courses with her and would take even more if I could. She's passionate about teaching the subject material and she really cares about her students. She's extremely creative with how she presents the material. She's able to get students excited about what they are learning and it sticks with you
A more fun and mature way to learn. I wish all classes I'm to attend were taught this way. I don't want to be forced to learn, I enjoy wanting to come to class and learn.
Direct, Caring, and Understanding. My time was not wasted I have learned some valuable skills.
She definitely made the class more fun and interesting. I definitely learned a lot of very useful information during her class. The only thing I regret is that I was able to take it sooner.
I love Dr. W. She's a very fun person and makes you actually enjoy literature. Before going on her field study I didn't care too much for poetry, but now I have found a love for it because of her passion. She's easy going, kind, helpful, and very understanding. I appreciate the opportunity I got to take her field study!
This professor worked hard to make sure that we all had a great time and that we learned as much as we could. She looked out for us and she inspired us to become more active learners. She was highly respected and very much loved by her students.
Dr. W. is an amazing professor. This is the second field study I've been on with her and I knew immediately during the first one that if the opportunity presented itself ever again I'd jump at the chance to learn with this amazing woman. You have to give yourself over to her class 100%. The experience of a lifetime. I'd never trade for anything.
I've only ever had a teacher like her once before and it was the previous time a took a class with her. Everything about this class is inspirational, helpful, and engaging. No one wants to let Dr. W. down.
Dr. W., is involved, caring and highly knowledgable. I was inspired by her professional/personal life. Anyone who takes any of her classes is privileged to have her. I learned so much in so little time. She inspired me beyond the classroom. I would love to take one of her classes again. Be ready for a fantastic and unique learning experience.
She was really entertaining and thankfully understanding.
Dr. W. goes the extra mile for her students. She is funny and caring and knows what she is doing. You can tell she has been teaching writing for a long while because her assignments are broken down into very clear steps. I always knew what was expected. I hope to have many classes with her in the future.
One of the best Professors and human being I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and I would 100% take any and all of her classes. She cares and she makes you better with her enthusiasm.
Dr. W. is an intriguing and humorous professor. I took the 8 wk hybrid course and learned quite a bit to better my own writing, specifically with future cover letters and resumes. She provides great feedback and chances to resubmit your work as needed. There is some reading required and participation is mandatory.
The professor was available to contact any time, it was relieved to me. The feedback was very understandable.
I've only written 2 of these out of my 74 credits, but Prof. W is definitely one of a kind. She didn't punish me if I had some late assignments and her class lectures were mostly class discussions. She's got a different sense of humor (so if you are super sensitive, I'd suggest not taking her class), but is caring and great to be around.
Professor W. was a breath of fresh air, she made writing fun and exciting. I hope in the near future that I will have another class with her.
Professor W. is an amazing teacher that teaches you real life skills and applies real world situations and experiences to her lectures. She is not only hilarious and engaging, but also very caring. She truly cares about your work and wants you to do the very best you can. She is very understanding and gives valuable feedback. Highly recommend!
Dr. W. made this class fun. I was afraid because English is not my first language but she is kind and knows every name and cares about you. She has super high standards. APA and citations must be perfect or you get a zero! But you can try again. Listen to her and redo your work. You can learn and get a better grade. I learned so much from her.
Great class. Interesting subject matter. Lots of discussion about relationships and self-reflection. Tons of reading, but professor broke things down and used real-life scenarios. Dr. W. is awesome - she's like no other teacher. She really cares and wants you to learn and grow even if it makes you uncomfortable.
One of the best professors at UMUC. She is kwirky and fun. I have always had a high level of anxiety about writing and have been putting this class off for the last two years. Dr. W made the semester very stress-free. The last was more of a business communications class and was very informative. Dr. W actually cares about your education.
Dr. Wettlaufer is a wonderful professor and person.
Awesome Professor the best I've I had
I enjoyed professor w class again she has made me understand what apa and citations meant on papers. I will take another class with her if I am able
This class was great definitely a class for mature adults with thick skin.
Enjoyed this class.
I would take another class with Dr. W if I could. She made the class fun for the students and since it was a ENGL 102 class it was not that hard. She actually explained and broke down APA style which helped most of the class on the proper form for an essay. Highly recommend taking one of her classes.
Best Professor I've had so far. Hope I have a chance to take more classes under her.
If you get the chance to take one of Dr. Ws classes, I highly recommend you do. Dr. W is truly passionate and knowledgeable. Shes REAL and doesnt sugar coat anything. The world could use more professors like Dr. W. Hands down, one of the best professors.
I learned a lot from her and enjoyed coming to class. If you get a chance to have her as a teacher take it! Best professor iv ever had
I learned a lot from her and enjoyed coming to class. If you get a chance to have her as a teacher take it! Best professor iv ever had. Very understanding of personal situations and doesnt like to pile on pointless work
Great teacher compared to others in the school. Unique in her style but effective. Understands students and takes the time to listen and provide feedback to everyone. I wish I had more classes to take in here area of expertise because I enjoyed her class and learned.
Dr. W is an amazing professor. After a horrendous experience with a professor at UMUC I wanted to quite going. The only reason I stayed at UMUC is because shes an outstanding teacher. If you have the chance to take her class you wont be disappointed.
Dr. W is an awesome professor that I am grateful to have had. She is very supportive and makes sure that you have completed all your assignments. of course you must communicate with your professor or else they would not know what is happening to you!
Anything absolutely anything you need to know about the English of anything period, Dr. Wettlaufer is your guru. She definitely is very informative, gives great feedback, available whenever you need her, and absolutely a doll. Never a dull moment and very caring. She is a great mentor. Thank you, Dr. Wettlaufer you are one awesome professor. Mia
Dr. W is the best of the best. Lucky to have her as a Prof.
I have taken two of Dr. W's classes and she is the best professor. She loves to teach, is a great mentor and she wants all of her students to learn.
She is a very good teacher she made the class fun and made you want to come. I appreciated that she gave some credit for attending I think all professors should if you take a face to face class you should be In class it makes the class more fun.
GREAT TEACHER
Amazing role-model and Professor. She gives me hope for life after the military. Im thankful to have met such a powerful and compassionate human being. By far the best UMUC has to offer.
Professor Wettlaufer-Adcock is rare find in today's college setting. I wish I had taken a writing course with her sooner in my academics . Her guidance will change the way you gather your research information and the way you write. It is impossible to leave her presence without gaining knowledge and becoming a better writer.
Professor Lockhart is an outstanding professor at UMGC. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is eager to see all of her students succeed in the classroom.
The course consisted of 3 papers worth 20 points each, 8 quizzes worth 2.5 points each, and 8 discussion posts worth 2.25 points each. The instructor will give out the maximum amount of points if you do the work, very professional and wanting to assist. I would recommend taking any course with this instructor especially those new to college courses
Dr Lockhart was such a positive, kind professor. No major surprises. She wants the student to succeed.
Professor Lockhart is an amazing professor and genuinely cares for her students. She sometimes allows extensions on assignments before you even have to ask because she wants her students to produce a well thought out paper. You can't go wrong with her class and she grades fair.
Professor Lockhart is a very understanding professor, often grants extensions, and is a very fair grader. You are better off submitting late work than half done work. She definitely pays attention to your progress, praises effort and truly cares. I'd take any of her classes. 2 essays, 1 project, 8 quizzes, 8 discussion posts.
