Great class grades very fair, and I assure you, that you will leave early every class.
she is an awesome teacher
The only thing she has against her is that she is stuck on gender issues......come on for real

I had her for ENG 180 and 280. Never once did we ever have to stay for the whole class period in both classes. Very fair on grades and is always available for help if you need her. Highly reccomended.

Great class. Only thing I didn't like was the whole semester was on gender issues. Great teacher to work with. Very helpful.

Christy Wherley is one of the most considerate, understanding, and thoughtful professors I have ever met. Her class is fun and productive and she won't waste your time. If she is done with her lecture, she will let you go. I recommend her highly!
Christy is a very nice teacher. She explains things very well and is available after class if you have any other questions. She doesn't give out extra credit too often. Journals are due on wednesday, so if you don't like to work, don't take her. This class is not for the lazy at heart.
Truth be told about Wherely is that she is one of the easier teachers in the english department. She's down to Earth and is a reasonable grader as well. Negatives about her though include weekly homework (i.e. journal once a week) and she's stuck in the "gender communications" gear. Shes a cutie.
She's really nice. She can be a bit boring at times, but shes super easy. She never keeps u the whole class period. But she is definitly all about "gender communication." All ur papers are based around that. So if u like pickin ur own topic...then dont take her. but other than that, shes nice!
Christy rocked my socks off! She isn't about busy work...and come on...one journal a week?! That's nothing...her class is easy, and she makes it enjoyable. I tell ya what...if you don't take this class...you are totally missing out! And btw...it's Christy Wherley...not Wherely.
Christy prefers to be adressed by her first name. On a side note, she is also the cutest teacher I've seen here at Western. The classes are short and shes really cool about attendance. S he is obsessed with Gender Communication, but she makes it more interesting.

Christy was an amazing teacher who was helpful to all and treated everyone with respect. She was very easy to approach for help and when she helped you out things were a lot smoother. She cares a lot about her job and puts a great amount of enthusiasm in her work. I highly recommend her!
Christy was awesome! she made coming to class very fun and interesting...plus she's young so she can relate to us better. She's really clear on what she expects and will go out of her way to help you on papers! I highly recommend her!
She is a good teacher but her attendance policy sucks.
Great teacher

Overall Christy is an awesome teacher but seems to be a little too willing to "meet students after hours." Not exactly professional....
Loved the book we read. Always had great discussion. Younger teacher & relates well to students :)

She sucks. She never tells you what she wants on the papers, its a shot in the dark on how to write it. She puts way too much emphasis on workshopping, if you don't have a paper done for workshopping expect to get a zero on it. She is a horrible teacher.
Christy is by far one of the best teachers at WIU. She is very helpful to all of her students. I really enjoyed being in her class, and have since recomended her to all my friends, they too loved her! If you want a great teacher who is more your age, who you can relate too...Christy is your girl! Plus she lets you out early!(I think she is pretty
awesome teacher, when she gives advice on what to change on your paper, change it!! She will give you an advantage to getting an A b/c you put effort into changing it! EASY!
shes an awesome teacher! she really wants to see her students succeed and tries her to best to answer any questions. she explains things really well and class is always interesing and fun. if you get a chance definitely take her
Despite what the other people say, her gap is cute on her. She is such a sweet lady. Pretty young, so she understands the stress. Just make sure you come to class and show a little effort and you'll pass. Workshopping is a requirement, so if you miss it you have to do it outside of class. Only idiots wouldn't do that. TAKE HER CLASS!!!
This class is pretty staright forward. Its not that hard you just have to do the work and youll be fine. The way she grades her papers is awsome!! so if your not a good paper writer take this class because she will help you through it!! take it from a person who sucks at writing papers
Extremely nice, very helpful. She will sit down and talk to you if you need someone to talk to. Very understanding of stress. With a little work, you can get an A. Just make sure to go to class and do the journals every week.
I loved this class! She's a great teacher. She's easy going and cares about her students. go to class! attendance might make or break your grade. Lots of papers, but if you stay on top of it, it's not bad at all.
My writing improved after taking her class
Ms.Wherley is a very help instructor. She does workshoppin, which is design to help you with your papers. You need to go to class, but is worth going to her class. Interesting book is read.
Very kind and understanding teacher. Really relates to her students and hopes that they do well in the future. She takes her job seriously but really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. You have to work hard in her classes and stay on top of the work, but she is very understanding if you get behind.
I love Ms. Wherley! I walked out of this class with an A+ and it really didn't take too much effort. It's english - so of course you are going to have to write papers. She's extremely helpful and understanding and loves getting to know her students.
What can I say, She is amazing and very helpful. I will recommend her to anyone who needs to take eng 280 or 180. It was not a problem to get an A In the class but you had to put the effort to get the A. Before every paper is due she has a conference you go to and she looks over your paper to look over it before you turn it. Final is optional!
AMAZING! one of my easiest classes my freshmen year. definitely take her!!
SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST ENGLISH TEACHERS IN WESTERN YOU SHOULD CHOOSE HER SHE'S WORTH IT.
She is awesome. She truly cares about her students and will give you an extension on every paper as long as you contact her ahead of time. You can miss her class up to 5 or 6 times but it your sick she'll work with you. She is funny, loves talking about her "outside the classroom" life and grades easily. I would take her again in a second!
Awesome teacher! Very nice and helpful. She is the best teacher i've had at WIU. The class was very easy. Not alot of work. She is always there to help if you need it. I can't say enough about her, she was just an amazing, cool teacher!
She is a genuine and intelligent teacher. She is very relatable and makes herself available to her students whenever they need her.
Great teacher. I would strongly recommend taking her for any English classes.
This is by far one of my favorite teachers in my lifetime. She is so helpful and has the best personality. I highly recommend.
She knows her stuff but she has her favorites. If you are a male who is in a fraternity...congrats you'll pass with flying colors...If not...good luck ladies! DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!!
That's a bogus comment below. She doesn't favor ANYONE and it's easy to tell that in class. She is SO caring to all of her students. Wherley is always willing to help and answer questions. Definitely pick her as a teacher, because you'll learn a lot and have fun. Really nice, funny lady.
Comment below is bogus. Wherley is a sweet, funny, CARING teacher who will do everything to help you succeed in class. Really nice lady who gets close to the students. TAKE HER!
Comment below is bogus. Wherley is a sweet, funny, CARING teacher who will do everything to help you succeed in class. Really nice lady who gets close to the students. TAKE HER!
Wherley is by far one of the best english teachers i have had. The comment about her having favorites is far from correct. TAKE HER CLASS, EASY BUT LEARN A LOT!
All I can say is that I wish all teachers were like her. She genuinely cares about her students and appreciates every one of them. She knows her stuff and does a great job relating what we learn to life experiences to keep students interested. As long as you make an effort you will get a good grade. Great teacher and overall person.
AMAZING Teacher. If you get the chance take her. 3 papers in the class, a scenario paper, a research, and movie analysis. She makes every student feel at home and shes passionate about all of us. Very easy class. Definitely developed a crush on her
She's an amazing teacher. She truly cares about all of her students, I absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs the Eng 280 Gen-Ed. Best English teacher I've ever had.
She is a great teacher. I have had many good english teachers and she is in my top two. She really cares. I wrote an ADHD paper and she told me i was "meant to write it" . She gives lots of positive feedback. You get out early most days and you only write three papers which you work on the entire semester. There is one book to read. Great class.
shes real easy, only have to write three papers and final is optional if your happy with your grade, it'll only help your grade not hurt it. might get annoyed with her voice. talks like 15yr old high school drama queen...
BEST PROFESSOR. Class is very easy & she's great. You cannot go wrong with this class
Great, great professor! 3 papers and one book to read during the semester. She really cares about her students and wants them to succeed in their writing. Will always get out early! Definitely take her for Eng. 180 or 280!
Christy is great. really nice, and likes to make class fun. Fair grader. GO TO THE PAPER REVIEW SESSIONS!!! Im pretty sure she cuts you some slack if you meet with her about ur papers.
Awesome teacher, she has a good sence of humor. If you go to class and do the weekly journal you should easily get an A
She is an amazing teacher and she truely cares about her students. She wants to see everyone do well. She is by far my favorite teacher at WIU. TAKE HER! you won't regret it!
I love her!!!!! She is so nice and fair and easy. YOU MUST TAKE HER IF U GET THE CHANCE. I love her personality..she could def be one of my besties but she grown and prolly dnt befriend her students. Best teacher at WIU. Dresses so pretty..she a real person and i respect dat about her she real organized and dnt waste ur time just take her!
Wonderful teacher! Truly cares about her students and helps as much as possible. You must take her if you have the chance!!!
Christy is a awesome teacher! She is really down to earth and keeps the class fun. The papers are quite easy. Journal every wk (easy 2 pts)..extra credit if you ont miss any days. You MUST have the books for her class because she uses them and they actually help when writing your papers. Easy A if you come to class. Conference help alot too!
THE BEST TEACHER AT WIU. she really cares about how well you do and she is so helpful. LOVE HER
She is super cool and is a blast, she really cares about her students i would try to get her for your class at all costs
She is hands down the BEST teacher here at WIU. She truly cares about her students and will go above and beyond for them. Dont abuse her kindness 'cause she will get tired of it. No matter what time the class is, she brights up the classroom with her great spunk personality. Oh and by the way, she likes to check her rates on here! LOVE YOU CHRISTY!
Great teacher and she cares about her students and want them to do very well in her class. Three major papers and few reading responses through connect. Sing up for her class if you want to do well in writing.
This is the best teacher I've had! She legitimately cares about how you do and your success not only in class but in life. She truly has been inspiring and this is a first time I've seen a teacher really care! If you have a chance to take this teacher, take her! She is one of if not the best English teachers on campus! I've honestly never done this well in an English class. It's really due to her teaching, inspiration, and help! Plus she's always absolutely the nicest in classes! Take her!!
I had Christy for ENG 280, and wish I would've taken 180 with her too. Obviously, the course is writing intensive, but she is kind and funny, and will get you to love the class. My group was horrible, and never did the peer reviews, but that only reflected poorly on them and didn't affect me, which was a pleasant surprise. Take her.
Enjoyed being in her class. Is helpful when it comes to papers and gives extensions if you really need it. Give out extra credit opportunities.
Love her! She really cares deeply about her students and what is going on in their lives. She understands the crazy world of a college student, so she does everything she can to accommodate. She gives extensions if you need them. GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS. She gives great feedback. She wants you to do well in her class and in collegelife in general.
I love her as a professor because she is extremely helpful and actually cares about students. I highly recommend taking her. She will do everything in her power to help you pass the class including giving you extensions on your papers and extra credit.
She is really cool! Doesn't waste time, if you finish class information she always lets you out early. If you work hard on papers you will almost definitely get a B. I would definitely take her again.
She's a great professor there for her students. If you have questions on a paper or would like feedback prior to the due date she will go out of her way to assist you. Totally recommended.
One of the best teachers I've ever had. She genuinely cares about her students. Always there when you need her and offers extensions on papers if you need them. Almost always lets class out early and gives you several days off from class throughout the semester. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
The most down-to-earth professors I ever had at WIU. She genuinely cares about her students. She allows extension if you ask. Her lectures go far beyond the classroom; you'll actually learn life lessons without you actually knowing. YOU MUST TAKE CHRISTY!
Best professor in campus. Took her for one semester and made class enjoyable and helped with what ever you need. Cares a lot of her students and is very understandable. She focuses on the material but also gives real world examples. The assignments are very easy and forward, she likes it when students participate but she will not force you to.
She's awesome! i love Ms Christy Wherley! she explains everything well and she gives you chances. She's a really nice lady.
Shes the best Teacher Ever!!!
Nicest professor at WIU. She cares about every student she teaches and will learn your name within a week. 3 big papers, a final portfolio and 10 weekly journals. Its a writing class so get ready to write. But the good part is you get to write about what YOU want to write about.
She is the best professor i have ever had. I loved her class and she genuinely cares about her students. You do have to write papers but she helps you and wants you to succeed. She is the sweetest person. I wish she could teach all of my classes.
