I love her!!! One of the best english teachers i have ever had. Plus she is beautiful. I had a hard time concentrating cause i was too busy stairing at her. One of the only teachers that I actually still talk to on a daily basis, still after i graduated. Great teacher!!! Take her!!!
One of the best English classes I have taken. Great teaching style! Very easy to talk with and follow during class. Allows plenty of time for projects and assignments. Not to mention young and very good looking!
Ms. Kinnion is a good english teacher, she was nice and very helpful. I recommend her class, she is pretty laid back it's awesome
Ms. Kinnion is an awesome teacher! She's very laid back and her assignments aren't horribly difficult. Give EFFORT, she will work with you. She's fair when grading papers- she's not totally anal about little mistakes. Besides- she's young, smart, funny, sexy, and has a great personality! Class was SO fun! I'd take her class again
Before I had to drop this class becuse of the prof. I had at North.Camp.Idid not want to get C.Prof.Kinnion is great techer. She is smart and knows what she is talking about.I went to ILC with my papers becuse I wanted to do my best. I still can not believe I got A in ENG. I really enjoyed her class. She makes you feel very comfortable in herclass
She does not require a lot from you. Very little homework, and she is slow on grading it. Class is easy, she'll just talk about nothing in particular. Overall she's an easy teacher and very nice (most of the time).
It's true there's not much homework, just papers. She does most of the reading in class and explains it for you. The hard part is she grades papers like a nazi. I don't think many people get A's. Somebody said she was an easy teacher. Sure class IS easy. You just show up, listen, and draft papers. See if she's easy when you get your score back!
This teacher is funny. She obviously loves teaching this class b/c she's really excited and smiles alot. There's not much writing but you read all the time and take quizzes almost every day. Tests are kinda hard.
talk a lot

Ms. Kinnion is a very good teacher. She likes to interact with the students, but always makes sure that the class stays on track. Her class is an easy A, but you should have your work checked at the ILC before turning it in. I definitely recommend!
Ms. Kinnion was the best teacher I've ever had. She was always on time, always prepared, she knew what she was talking about and she was able to teach in a very clear and concise manner. We'd laugh and joke around sometimes and tell funny stories, sometimes she'd bring candy for us to snack on and overall it was the best class I've ever taken!
Ms. Kinnion is an incredible teacher, always prepared, knows what she's talking about, and makes learning fun. She jokes around but still gets down to business. She's a very strict grade on papers, but she gives you opportunities to cushion your grade with lots of reading quizzes - SO READ. Incredibly helpful and always had a smile on her face.
She has great potential, but she lacks discipline. Papers never got returned on time. She would spend a lot of class time discussing personal things. She seemed to have a hard time keeping personal and work life separate. Although at times class was fun, the class went off into too many tangents. I can't say that I would recommend her.
No room for mistakes, so you have to make an A on every assignment pretty much. Midterm is not fun, doesn't seem fair. However, she's so sweet--she just expects students to know MLA and basic grammar, as they should.
Ms. Kinnion was the greatest english professor at Wake Tech. She gave plenty of time for papers and always let you write about what interested you. She was extremely easy to talk too and was concerned with how her students did. Overall, I HIGHLY reccomend her. TOUGH grader but do your work and you'll be okay! HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!!!!!
A very tough grader, especially hard on misspelled words but overall a very helpful and understanding instructor. It was my pleasure to be placed in her class. Her bark is worse than her bite!
Her class was fun it had been awile since i had an Eng. class so it took time for the grammer rules to come back. But she's a great teacher fun ,approchable, and knows her stuff! I took the class during a 5 week summer session, wrote a paper every week and would do it again. I would recommend her to anyone!
Miss Kinnion is a very enjoyable teacher. The subject matter may not be my favorite, but she had us read enjoyable material, she is fair with her grades, I learned alot. I would definitly(sp) recomend her.
Ms. Kinnion is attractive, but whoever called her a 'hoe' is obviously either a jealous chick lol or a guy who's failing the class. She's much better than some teachers I've had, and class isn't boring like I expected. It's too bad some ppl can't appreciate that.
Mrs. Kinnion is a tough teacher. I am a 4.0 student but have a low B in her class right now. Every class we have a quiz, and i read the material several times, but the q's are random, e.g "what is the smell of the wallpaper?" also, Mrs. Kinnion talks inappropriately about her personal life all the time and class discussions are often pessimistic.
You mainly do essays in her class and a couple group projects. She grades strictly on the essays, which is to be expected since it is grammar. (No tests, only had one quiz)
Really Hott! And a really good teacher. She is a lot of fun and keeps the class interesting. The mid-term is a little hard but other than that it's a fairly easy class.
She's very accepting, has great class conversations and you work at your own pace within her deadlines. If you like working on your own, and occasionally in a group setting. Ms. Kinnion's 114 class is great. As long as you have great grammar, look at the examples and rubrics, and ask her any questions you have; you should do well.
worst teacher ever!!!!
Very easy to have conversations with and very easy to get along with. Very good understanding among those in the DSS pop. What I thought of her when I saw her in the first place is wait a minute? is she a teacher? lol. I thought she was like 20 when shes 34. Also, she knows very well of knowledge in her field. Great Job Ms. Kinnion!!!!
Christy was one of the best teachers I've ever had. She is fair and impartial. Her assignments make you learn (which is the point) and she herself is a nice, mellow person. Also, she is an attractive young lady. Looks aside, she is a wonderful teacher and I would recommend her to anyone. I still talk her up despite transferring to UNC Charlotte!
Not only is Christy a beautiful, intelligent and well-spoken professor... she is also fun, inviting and engaging. Any pupil would do well under her guidance.
First of alll she is by far the best dressed woman on campus. Gotta love those legs, and the high heels are a nice touch too! If the class discussion doesn't keep your interest. Then your probably missing out. She develops an uncanny bond between the author and student, which takes an ordiarily drab subject and creates interest.
Ms. Kinnion was a phenomenal teacher! She is very relaxed, however she is also a firm but fair grader! If you don't put forth the work it will reflect in your grades. At the same time if you try hard and need some help she is more than willing to help you during her office hours. She is funny and easy to get along with. She is a sophisticated woman who certainly knows what she's talking about, if you don't like her it must be because you did crappy on a project and blame her for your mistakes!
Took her hybrid class - she's an excellent teacher as long as you do your work and stay on track. Don't piss her off or you'll regret it, lol. She can be tough as nails or easy as pie - it's up to you.
Lets just say that times in her class were great and times in her office were awesome. She is the most layed back teacher you will ever meet. Still talk to her on some even after graduating. Best teacher you will ever take and the most fun you will ever have. Get on her good side and it will be so much fun.
Quizzes literally were true/false multiple choice and STRAIGHT out of the book. This is CRITICAL thinking! There was certainly NO critical thinking involved. Hybrid course - attended 7 classes on campus and learned NOTHING. Tough paper grader in spite of reiterating that this was entry level with no pre-reqs.
Great Teacher at the college level. She makes it fun for people who actually try. She is a genuine educator who really cares about her students performance. Her class has a relaxed environment which makes it fun to learn, but do not mistake her kindness for weakness!
great teacher easy to learn strong on grammer and punctiation
She was a very interesting teacher. She kept my attention in class with a mix of jokes, and education that will serve me for years to come.
Great teacher, extremely cool and helpful. Class was tough but she helps you through it. Not to mention she is HOT!!!!!!!!
Ms. Kinnion is a dedicated & awesome instructor. I made a "C" in her class due to my own mistakes, but I earned that "C", and I'm really proud of that grade! I REALLY enjoyed her class because she challenged me. She also introduced me to a new passion for literature. She's also a very passionate instructor who wants her students to learn.
Class is very difficult. I took her hybrid class this summer. 5 week class- 3 5 page essays each week and then a final. Half the class dropped after receving failing grades thier first essay. She is fun and helpful but strict on gramar and punction. Be thankful if you get a C in this class.
One of the best teachers I've ever had. Super cool
awful teacher. did an assignment, had her check it, did corrections she suggested, got her to check it again, she said it looked great so i turned it in & then got it back graded & it was a C, almost a D. Sorry a C isnt great to me. Shes basically one of those teachers who if you dont take your papers to the ILC she wont give you a good grade.
I took two english classes with her. Got As in both of them, but def had to work at it. Strongly suggested that you take your papers to the ILC center to have her look at them. She is tough on commas, which kills a lot of people's grades. If you take her lit class, look at analysis online for quiz purposes. Hard, but fun class. miss you CK!
Ms. Kinnion is fair, honest, and very funny. She is very strict when it comes to grammar and punctuations. It is not a easy class by far. So actually try hard, do what she says, and you will pass the class. I will be taking her for every English class I have from here on out.
Mrs. K is a tough but fair professor. She is always crystal clear about her expectations on assignments and everything else. If you do as she says and follow instructions to the word, you will do well in her class. Don't do anything to upset her though. She has no problem throwing you under the bus and you will know for sure if you have upset her.
Miss Kinnion is a very serious teacher. She grades very specifically but is also meticulous about what she wants you to do so TAKE NOTES. there are 2 textbooks which you will write essays or take notes on. Also you have a certain # of journals due at the end of semester. around 4 Essays, a few quizzes and 1 Final essay.
Ms Kinnion is a really nice teacher. Her class was the only class I took on-campus this semester, and Im glad I did. It was straight forward and she was really good about explaining things. She helped out when asked and even if you get on her bad side one day she will return the next day like nothing happened. She won't hold the grudge.
Ms. K was an incredible teacher and a lot of fun my first semester at Wake Tech. The assignments were clear and concise, yet if any students had problems with them she was right there to help show the students how and what to do to make their learning experiences better and more informative for them. Great Job Christy and TYVM
Really tough grader. Takes off 10 points for a misspelled word. Tests can be confusing and not clear what she means. The assignments are not hard. Just proof read everything 5 times and have someone else proof read it before you turn it in.
One of the best and worthwhile experience with online class. It was not as demanding, but it requires your attention to keep up with course materials. She does her time with REAL center, and this helped me a lot. Her requirement to do annotated bibliography helps to assess articles and throw away you don't need in the list.
Exceptionally tough grader. Does not give any practice to subjects before they are graded. The reading and web links are long and not relevant. Feedback just apologizes that you got a bad grade but no explanation of why.
She's fair. If she sees that you're trying, she will try to help you. She does not give extra credit. If you summit an assessment late, or don't summit it correctly she will take out points, which I believe is fair because her instructions are clear. If you don't understand something just make sure you email her a day before the due date.
Patient to an extent. Firm deadlines but she'll give an extension if you ask ahead of time. No extra credit for revision or ILC. Will look at drafts though.
I was disappointed with my online class. Over the course of the semester, I tried to reach her via email for my online class without receiving responses. Her rubrics are vague as well as the syllabus, but she is a fair grader. Besides the lack of communication and clarity, she is a wonderful professor who is clearly passionate about her job.
Professor Kinnion was a great help during my first online semester. She makes time for her students and tries to be flexible for people, like myself, that can't always get to campus for office hours. She isn't easy, but she is fair. If you want to pass, do the work and do it well.
She's a good teacher. There's a lot variety in assignments in this class and I enjoyed that aspect. Very accessible and down to Earth teacher. Wasn't sure what to expect with the class but I enjoyed it a lot. I'd recommend it.
She's a great teacher.
i love her class, she in my book has my respect as a teacher, and as a person
Prof Hanthorn (formerly known as Coach K lol) is never boring. To the one who said she gives too much personal info, it's in a way that helps you get to know her. Sounds like somebody isn't passing. Too bad for you b/c it's the most fun I've ever had in class. Show up (on time unless you wanna get the side eye) and do the work and you'll be fine.
Ms. Hanthorn is my favorite professor of all time. She's an absolute joy! She always has a funny story to tell and can keep you entertained for hours. She's also extremely kind and caring, though she hides it behind a wall of sassy wit. She's a good person, so long as you do your part. Forget 350 characters, I could write an essay on Ms. Hanthorn.
Professor Hanthorn expects a lot from her students but not from herself. She doesn't go over certain rules of punctuation that she is particular about (I.E. oxford commas) She will tell you that your presentation doesn't need a certain element, then mark you off for not including it. She does pop quizzes and will not allow you to make them up.
This class was not what I expected. I actually came out of this course with things that I will remember and use in the future. There are many papers to write, but they aren't that bad. Resumes, memos, cover letters, annotated bibliographies- thats what you should expect out of this course. Quizzes are "sometimes" weekly, but not hard at all.
This is my second time taking ENG 114, my last teacher was just impossible. So I wasn't loking forward to taking it again. I definitely feel like I learned a lot.
Mrs. Hanthorn was hands down my favorite teacher I have ever had. She made me not care that I had an 8 am on a Monday morning. I would take her over and over again if I could!
The English Composition class was very educational. I learned a lot of valuable information to use in the "real world". Use the free resources available at the college for help with your papers. Professor Hanthorn does gives feedback about your papers in a timely manner. I thought she was great to have in my online class.
Prof. Hanthorn is amazing! I loved attending her classes. Her lectures are great, and she has so many inspirational stories to motivate students to do their best. She is particular about MLA format, and I am glad that I worked on it in her class. It acted as a foundation and has made 112 a bit easier. She cares about her students' improvement.
Her online class was hard. She is a VERY tough grader. Felt that she made it harder than what it really needed to be for a Eng 110 class.
Professor Hanthorn is funny, and gives lots of opportunity for you to pass. Pretty much just show up for class. (At least for ENG 114)
Professor Hanthorn is great, you must know how to use your time wisely. Make sure to follow instructions. Read the syllabus.
She is a very tough grader.
Worst English class I have ever taken and it's my favorite subject. Be prepared to put hours into assignments only to receive a terrible grade. She is extremely nit-picky and looks for reasons to take points off. I took her online ENG.110 class Fall 2020 and am so thankful I was able to drop out before it would drop my GPA. Don't choose her.
Mrs. Hanthorn is a very solid instructor. Even though I thought I was a good writer before taking her class, she has brought my writing to an even more professional level. I went into this class not expecting to learn much, but her feedback has made me aware of my over-punctuation and simple mistakes in sentence structure. I would recommend her.
Her feedback is always completely baffling. She will fail you completely if she just doesn't like your writing style. She will give you really minor critiques, but then give you a poor grade. If it's not to her preference, she just says it is written poorly. I have never struggled in a writing class, but I can't seem to catch a break in this one.
Mrs. Hanthorn's class seemed rather difficult to me. I struggled through most of the semester with a D and little to no explanation as to why I did poorly on the assignments I scored low on. The papers she left comments on she didn't understand due to skimming. The class is well organized Mrs. Hanthorn just doesn't seem to care.
Very tough grader. My father was an English professor, and he even agreed that her grading was over analytical and confusing. English is my best subject, and she was just not a good teacher. I should have gotten an A in this class.
I dont know how I feel about this professor. Im in her online english 114 class. So far its been a struggle. She marks things off for small mistakes. Her responses are very vague. Her directions are not clear during major writing assignments. To be honest, I'd skip her if you want to pass. Im not failing, but she doesnt help me become better.
Do not take this professor if you want to pass. She wont give you an A even if you applied corrections. Her responses for the feedback were not helpful either. Overall, she was not interactive. Lastly, the lectures were a mess! If you want a rubric, don't even bother. She doesn't provide them.
Her explanations are poor and her grading is complicated. She expects you to know and read everything in a 530-page textbook. She does not give you the pages "to know" unless you ask for them or she sees more than a few people in the class also struggle. She does not give GUIDANCE but what you to know EVERYTHING.
Professor Hanthorn is amazing. Goes above and beyond for her students. So patient and helpful. She really cares and wants her students to get the most out of her class.
Really sweet and super helpful. Willing to talk through writing ideas and give feedback. Had 3 papers through the semester but organized it very well.
Slow to grade essays + vague notes. I still don't know what mistakes I'm making, but she seems sweet.
don't take this class if you want to ever pass
I've taken two courses with Professor Hanthorn, and I think the people giving her a low rating just don't know how to read directions and follow them/used AI irresponsibly. Both courses I took with her 111 and 112 were so fun and very easy. You get to write about what you want, and she was also very responsive on teams and outlook—10/10 teacher! :)
Her ENG112 class was terrible! It is one giant hellish discourse community project that counts as over 70% of your grade. I was #3 best student in her class and had an 88. She would rate each project as a letter grade, so each of the three components would be a 90 or below. There was no way to get an 100 on any of the heavily weighted projects!
