Great class, I have always been inseure about my writing, my confidence is much better now. Great Professor.
hated her at first but she wound up being cool- she will help yopu out alot (when she shows up to class) but you have to get over her liberal left wing views on everything
She was sooooooo frustrating! She was never clear with her instructions, and as a result I ended up re-doing a lot of papers. But at least she lets you do that.
She is weird. I don't know what else to say.
Cool class-cool teacher. Work is easy and interesting
She is the best. She is very smart, funny, and really teaches you a lot! Unlike all of the other professors who teach you boring, blah blah crap... she teaches you stuff with passion. I love her. She has been VERY good to me! She is the BEST!
Very easy but you won't learn much from her. She just kind of hangs out rather than teaching you. I didn't get a damn thing out of taking Writing Projects Seminar Honors with her.
She's a very nice and cool teacher. For Comp + Lit 2, there are very easy assignments, and you must have access to the computer every week. As long as you are open and nice to her, it's an easy A.
She is a very good teacher...definately one of my favorites. She is very easy going, allows you to re-do assignments as many times as you want to get the grade you want...I really enjoyed her class. I would take another one of her classes again.
Very good teacher. Made Distance Learning class interesting. Would recommend. Gave students chances to improve grades.

One of the best professors I ever had, really top notch. Her classes are really interesting and Prof Timm creates a really open feeling in the classroom. We used the computer a lot, posting our responses and responding to our peers. She is highly motivated and really wants her students to succeed.
Prof Timm is one of the BEST professors I've ever had. I have taken her in the past and only took this class because she was teaching it. She is very easy going, sweet, clear in what she wants and expects and as long as you do the work you'll get a good grade. She obviously cares about her students and wants them to do well. I highly recommend her!
Very easy class to pass, crazy and fun teacher!!
I TOOK HER ON-LINE AND OH BOY! TOO MUCH WORK. JUST RIDICULOUS. ON'T TAKE HER ON-LINE U WILL REGRET IT. GOOD PROF BUT ON-LINE, SHE IS SOMETHING ELSE. TRUST ME
i took her online and did great, and there wasnt a lot of work.. if u think there was maybe you should drop out of college and learn a trade
at first I thought professor Timm was very weird but time will pass by and you'll see that she is really awesome. Just do the work and you'll get an A.
I've never met this professor and from what I've read here her class in person sounds great. Whatever you do DO NOT take her online class. The amount of work is ridiculous. Not only do you have to do a huge amount of reading, but she wants you to read and comment on other student's work posted as well. Sometimes she doesn't answer emails.Nightmare
Took her online, a lot of work. takes a while to answer emails. kind of strange. if you are going to take her, do it in person. i hear she is better.
We are two weeks away from finishing the semester. We have to write a six pg. paper due next week and this teacher still posts assignments unrelated to the paper. She wants us to comment on 4 other student's work by the end of this week. She doensn't care that this isn't the only final we have. Dont' take her class Online. Your GPA will come down.
Prof. Timm is the greatest. She is a little weird but is very clear and she wants to se her students do well. I had a lot of fun.If I had to take another english class I would defiently take her. I highly recomments that u take her she is really easy.
Professor Timm is a great professor she knows her stuff, is down to earth and loves what she does. I am sorry to hear how hard she is online. In class as long as you do and have her assighnments on time you will do well. She is a proffesor I will never forget.
terrible online class, do not take if you need extra help work is very one sided as is grading, no extensions available, extra credit available only if you are willing and able to travel to the city
She is a really interesting teacher. Do your text critiques, ALL OF THEM!!, show up for class, participate, and hand in the final paper early so she has time to go over it with u so u have a chance to fix it up.She makes you work hard, but its helpful trust me. I got a B+ and I really liked her a lot. Take her class. That was one of my fav classes
iS VERY HELPFUL =)
Her classes are so easy if you do all your critiques and her classes are just so much fun. She always gives extra credit. I had her for 3 semesters and if i could i would take another one of her classes. *she loves Poetry!
SHES THE BEST. text critiques are a breeze, never more than 300 words a week. class work is so simple and most of it is just participating. greatest professor on campus and easiest course to get a good grade. if you happen to get a D or C on any paper, you have until the end of the semester to fix it. shes is so helpful and down to earth
She is so interesting! I love her and she is such a intelligent person. I also like how she is honest with her corrections and makes you think differently. And I think it's pretty cool how she knew Allen Ginsberg!
I don't recommend her at all especially if its your first online course. there is a lot of work to turn in each week. Her feedback on her homework is condescending. She has a PHD and expects you to write like you have one or she insults you.don't send her an email about anything because she will get nasty. she does allow revisions which is good.
Awesome Professor! Helpful, clear in her instructions and gives great writing guidance. Had her for ENG101 and then Creative Writing. A lot of assignments but if writing is your thing you won't mind. DEFINITELY recommend her!
I admit, *a lot* of work for her online course. An amazing amount of reading, writing, and reviewing other students' work. After I got the hang of it had no problems. She answers emails in a timely manner and makes her expectations clear early. I knew I was going to get an A because I (gasp) actually did the work! You will actually learn from her.
The assignments never stop, you have to do an essay every week. I missed the first two assignments and she told me to drop out because I wouldn't pass. Also the class itself is very boring. You get treated like more of a high school student than a college student. I wouldn't recommend taking this class. Mrs. Timm
She is a good prof and will grade your paper to help your writing improve. I would highly recommed her
She is a very hearted and friendly professor who gives you a lot of encouragements. You will not have pressure when taking her classes as she is such a interesting poet. You can easily earn the credits from her classes if you finish all the homework.
Do not take her online class, she assigns a lot of work. She does not answer emails half the time. If you can not handle a lot of work do not take her online class. The poems and stories you have to read are 5050 good and bad. Emailing her after the class is over is terrible.! She does not answer you or fix your grade!
I have taken three of Timm's classes and I am taking another one this fall. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Her class is simple do your homework,show up to class participate and do your final paper and you can walk out with an A. She's so funny and inspiring. I am so happy WCC has someone like her on there staff.
Do the work, get a good grade. She takes a long time to reply to email. No textbook just readings which are all free. Get ready to participate because she makes you reply to classmates postings. Would definitely take again though. Spent maybe an hour a week on this class.
Put in the time and effort and you'll get a good grade. You can resubmit essays and do extra credit. She's very enthusiastic about teaching and loves participation and input. Even if you say something really dumb, she'll encourage you to have your own opinions and try. Definitely would recommend.
Great professor. Gives extra credit, and allows revisions on work to receive a better grade. You need to participate in weekly discussion which has you involved with other classmates and you actually learn from the assignments that are given. I would def. recommend to take her classes and take her again.
The summer online course in English & Literature is an endurance test that needlessly consumes all your time. The material is interesting and you will learn a lot, but the number of tasks is unnecessarily huge and disproportional to the mere three credits you earn. Forget about meeting other obligations in your life for the duration of the class.
Timm is a great prof. she gave readings every week that she provided the link for so no need for a textbook. Responses had to be 300 words . She is big on poetry so for extra credit you can go to a poetry slam in the city up to 3 times. It's actually kind of fun and totally worth the extra credit A on any assignment.
I took her ENG101 course (online) in the Fall 2016. She was very helpful, my only regret was not taking her course on campus. If you are looking to take a course to learn and be able to apply the content, then her ENG101 course is for you. In contrast, if you are looking for a professor to give you an easy A, this professor may not be for you
The online course was a great class that will help you to develop into a better writer. Very manageable and the professor provides great feedback on assignments.
Professor Timm is one of a kind.
Excellent teacher
The way she prepared the class made me forget what class I was in. It is Eng 102 Writing and lit yet all we did was poetry. Basically every class we had a speaker or a poet come in. I did not take this class to listen to listen to music or just hear about poetry. The class time was spent doing nothing useful. It felt pointless to show up to class.
This was a tough class due to all the stories we had to read. If you live a busy life itll be tough for you to pass. Shes a tough grader and will notice if you read your passages or not. Stories we had to read were very long and sometimes boring. Beside that shes a good teacher and if you do the work you would pass for sure
Shes pretty easy going. Doesnt give much hw
Her online course was very easy to do, and she allows revisions. Which means you can redo a discussion to earn a higher point as long as it was given on time. Problems I had with her is she takes long to respond to emails and she was kind of disrespectful through emails when I messaged her asking a simple question. Overall an easy A.
This professor is very specific in what she wants from your papers. So specific to the point that if you forget to do one thing, she will fail your whole paper and make you write it again. She nitpicks and nothing you seem to do will make her happy. If you are a great writer and always get A's in English classes, be prepared to only get a B at best
Prof. Timm is so far the best professor I have ever had. She's so caring, inspirational and actually cares about you as a student. I have taken 3 of her courses one in person and two online. I recommend taking her classes online because in class all of her work is in the online course anyway.
she's wonderful and all of her assignments are based from blackboard she's wonderful and/ always willing to help
Timm is a good Professor. She helped me articulate my words into writing and how to be more specific. Shes a good teacher but I only had her online.
Professor Timm will give you everything you need to do the work. Your job is to do the work. This class is an easy A if you put the time and effort into it.
She is very good teacher .
If your looking for a good online english class to take, DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE!!! she piles on the work and is all over the place with the directions and exactly what she wants. Most of the work like the text critiques make no sense and she grades really hard. Also if you miss an assignment for what ever reason you will still get a zero.
I wouldn't take her online course again because she is a tough grader. She gives lots of feedback, yet is not really friendly about it. All online work is due once a week and it's quite a lot.
I think she is a great professor! I'm willing to bet all of the negative reviews are slackers who never did the work, came to a close, or were on their phones during the whole lecture. You'll have 12 text critiques and most of them are easy, just look at the rubric, learn from your former mistakes, and it's an easy A. You need to show up to pass!
I had prof Timm the first semester for my ESL class and picked her again this semester for Eng 101. Shes great gives extra credits, gives the chance to revise assignments for a better grade and you can take quizzes multiple times. If you put effort and send homework on time it will be easy to get an A. She even makes you save money: no book !
She is a really nice professor, but definitely not an easy or hard class, it's in between. She wants you to try your best, but be aware she will tell if you read the passages or not so if you're lazy and expecting an Easy A, this class is not for you.
I took her online class two and a half years ago last minute after almost ending up in a bad professor's class. Professor Trimm really wasn't bad at all especially for online but it was A LOT of work. Her responses did come off VERY condescending which I get she was trying to be helpful but not everyone is a great writer. The choice is up to you.
Tough grader and her comments on your writing come off as condescending and rude. Not to mention the fact the loads of work there is for the class. It's an easy A in my opinion as long as you do the work. But I will make sure to not ever choose her again
Would not recommend her or take her course again!
Horrible, snarky and will grade unfairly especially if you ask for clarification. BEWARE.
Professor Timm is amazing! You have to do small assignments that are do every Sunday but she is supper helpful. She gives amazing feedbacks and if your not happy with your grade you can redo the assignment (with her feedbacks its easy to get a better grade) She also gives extra credit all you have to do is show up I would defiantly take her again
Professor Timm is a very good professor, who gives very good feedback per each assignment. She allows you to re-do an assignment up to two times to get a better grade (except the final, of course). You have to put in the effort and do the work to want to pass. Be prepared to read and write!
Eh shes okay she just is really annoying
Professor timm gives you a chance to redo your assignments if you got a bad grade and gives you good feedback to make sure you get a better grade. Very organized. You can get a 100% if you do all assignments and listen to her! She assigns her assignments due every Sunday and there is no midterm for this class. I am taking her again for English 102
I loved professor Timm. I personally love writing and she gave us a lot of papers which was a nice break from my STEM work. I got a 100 on all but 2 assignments. she allowed us to be creative and she was so caring. Absolutely loved her class and I wish i could take more english classes with her.
She helps the students to become better students. What the professor did that I consider professional ability is that she could show me my flaws and help me overcome them. She would not be able to do that without conveying materials clearly.
Every email you send her that asks a genuine question she follows up with an answer then a snarky and pretentious response. It almost seems like she has an intellectual superiority complex, not so intense but its noticeable. She's a fair grader though and its an easy A if you do the work.
What is expected of you might not be what you expect. This class is not at all an easy A for an online class. It may seem like a manageable workload at the beginning; however, it will progressively become a more taxing and involved class that doesn't proportionately represent the credits you will be receiving. TOO MUCH WORK! FIND ANOTHER TEACHER.
I love Professor Timm. She is an amazing professor! if you do the homework and follow the rules. you will get an A.
I had a great experience in Professor Timm's class. I learned everything I need to know about writing papers at the college level, especially research papers. Professor Timm has a great personality and made the class very interesting. Would definitely take one of her classes again.
dont take her class you will regret it she grades harshly and she makes no sense half the time. terrible
She was one of the worst professors ive ever had she never graded a bunch of my assignment even after i emailed her and told her in class that they were finished and she said "if you do not pass the last assignment you will fail the course no matter what your grade is" and she never ended up grading my last assignment so i failed her class
She grades really harshly and gives snarky responses when asked a question on email, she either is there to read her emails or not it's always a 50/100 chance she'll ever read them. I wouldn't take her class against especially as someone who took a break from HS and decided to return to studying.
Most of the assignments were about politics. Prof Timm made comments in class about her political beliefs and since mine differed, I was penalized. I spent time working in the tutorial and one on one with her to fulfill the criteria. The Professor told me my work is an A submission before uploading it and I ended up with a much lower grade.
I would not take this class if i were you! she doesn't respond to emails unless you spam her, her grading is so weird, it seems as if nothing is EVER enough for her. always has an issue with something about the work submitted. a lot of assignments on top of constantly responding to other students discussions. she does offer extra credit events tho
Excellent professor, took her time to explain questions from students, all ways explained the subjects well. Very respectful and gives you the chance to re submit any low grade or missing assignment at the end of the year. If you have any questions make sure to ask sure she mentioned some politics but few words and once a blue moon. Recommend Her
She was good. Some tough homework but nothing too crazy.
Tim is a really good professor. She does give a lot of homework, and she likes to put students on the spot, but she is very good at communicating. She is also very particular about how she likes things to be written and is always willing to help.
