colleen is the best professor i ever had at hcc. the class is very relaxed in atmosphere, but i still learned more there than in any other class. You have to take at least one of her classes!
Very caring. I had family problems when I was taking her class and she took the time to listen I understood. I learned so much in her class. she's human.
Wonderful wonderful teacher. She'll be so happy if you just participate.
She is the best teacher. This lady is so down to earth and caring. You have to take her class...they fill up like crazy.
her class was very laid back and i found her essays extremely helpful and her grading is very fair. just show up do well on your papers and you will do great. shes awesome.
Colleen was the most fun and interesting teacher I've ever had. Her classes were fun and we got into some great discussions. Participate and you'll do well.
She made this class so interesting. She always had a friendly disposition and was willing to help me out whenever I needed it. AWESOME woman
Colleen is an intelligent, compassionate woman-- a born teacher who cultivates and thrives on the inspiration circulating both in and out of her classes. I took four of her courses. Not extr. diff. work, but a serious student can find challenges in it.
Awesome, fun teacher. Makes the classes engaging.
i have not attended hcc for several years now, but i wanted to take this opportunity to say a bit about a teacher that still holds a place in my mind as the best english teacher i've ever had. if you take her class, ask her about the scuba diving poem.
Let's hear it for Colleen! Her passion for writing spills over onto her students. She's supportive and encouraging. I love this woman. Gained a great deal of insight. She's truly a rose among thorns at HCC.
makes her class engaging.
What can I say? Not only is she passionate about what she teaches, but she is also VERY helpful and understanding! Her classes go by really fast, they're so much fun and she is HILARIOUS! She is the BEST teacher I have ever had.... And I don't even go to this College anymore! She is the sweetest!!!
A TEACHER WHO LOVES WHAT THEY DO MAKES ALL THE DIFFERANCE!!
I loved this class, Ms. Webster made is very interesting and she is truly passionate about her subject and Emily Dickinson, she is fair and very helpful. I recommend her ot any Harford students. She also has awesome outfits.
God, she's good. I'm at a four year university now, and haven't yet found a professor to match her.
Very nice, down to earth Prof. who very much cares about progress and the message she puts across. She is very involved, very prepared and makes the class interesting.
She was so different. Made class worth comming to ebcause she was so into what she was teaching. I'm not sure how to explain it.
If every teacher could be like collee people would be so lucky. To have a teacher that is not only interested in teaching but also in bettering the world around us is amazing. I recomend her to anyone i know is going to harford. She teaches not only about
Great, humerus, encouraging, and says "eltse"
Collen is the best prof I have ever had. I came to her classes even when I was sick as a dog because I wanted to hear her input on that day's assignment. As someone else said, I am at a four year school now and have yet to find a prof like Colleen. She is truly an amazing thinker and teacher. She is inspiring! Take her if you get the chance!
The best teacher i have ever had. Everyone should take her class if possible.
Hands down the most amazing professor I've had in college so far. If she can help you in ANY way, she will. Her discussions are out of this world. I recommend taking classes with her, she's the best.
she was an amazing teacher! she helps with anything and is very knowledgable with english! take her class!
I went into this class hating poetry, but wound up enjoying it. She's a really great teacher, and its a fun class to take. She's awesome!
The most awesome teacher. I found "my voice" in her writing class. She will make you think in creative ways that you never even contemplated.
she's real easy to work with and doesn't yell at you for making mistakes. you won't find a better teacher to talk with about pretty much anything. and she looooooooves nature. she's kind of dec too.
Great teacher willing to help with problems. Makes class fun and easy. Most classes are nature walks and you always get out of class 20 minutes early and shes always 10 minutes late I recommend taking at least one of her many classes
I can not sing her praises enough! Very helpful as she truely cares for her students and wants them to succeed. I had her for creative writing as well. In her class I developed new appreciations, and awakenings. My only disappointment is that she cant transfer colleges with me!
The best class and professor I've had. She is bright, funny, and interesting. Definitely take one of her classes.
Quite possibly the best teacher I've ever had. She grades well. She cares about what you write, not how you write. One of the sweetest women around. Definitely take her class.
Colleen is one of the most wonderful english teachers I have ever had! She loves poetry and is passionate about passing her love of poetry on to her students. She is fair, funny, and not a harsh grader. She is funny and laid back. If you put in the effort you will get a good grade.
Avoid at all costs. Most like her, but there's no accounting for taste.
The most amazing teacher I've ever had. One of the nicest and environmentally minded people I've ever had. She gave so much freedom with what you had to write that the class was easy. Taking her again for 102
Outstanding teacher. The one negative response obviously isn't ecpecting a good grade.She is amazing and passionate about what she teaches.I read everything, but you don't have to to get a good grade.She goes over everything in great detail. No one should leave HCC without taking one of her courses.. you will be glad you did. Her classes fill fast.
Great professor, easy grader, easy A (but you'll still learn a lot). She has a great sense of humor and her sarcasm is awesome. She is like a friend to her students. Highly recommend.
An absolutely wonderful class. I loved Colleen. Really inspired me. I am taking another class with her this coming semester!!! She's the best!
an AMAZING teacher, she is a lot of fun and really passionate about what she is teaching. One of the best teachers i have ever had and would love to take another class with her!
Amazing woman, amazing professor. I've learned so much about the class material among other things. DO take her class. Very friendly, good humor, treats students as equals. Put in the effort and you'll get the grade. Thanks ms. webster! :]
AMAZING professor! I loved both her ENG 102 and 219 courses. Only teacher I felt like I ever actually learned anything from at HCC. Very funny, smart, and passionate. Classes were always engaging. HIGHLY recommend taking one of her classes! They do fill up quick though.
I took the same course as the previous reviewer, and can confidently say that Colleen Webster is not unprofessional, disrespectful or close minded in any way shape or form. I honestly can't think of a single time that she treated a fellow classmate negatively. She is helpful, approachable, intelligent, and an altogether wonderful teacher!
What other teacher asks you how your soul is doing today? Or wears yoga cloths and colorful rain boots? She is friendly, informed, and adapts to her class. Each paper gets a personal response with her feedback. Prepare to read a lot. Her tests are fair but hard. They require memorizing details from reading.
Prof. Webster only has about 2 neg. comments on here--that is because she is a teacher's professor. I don't think she's capable of not liking anyone. She adapts her class to fit bad weather, canceling tests if too many snow days pile up, and you get to go outside on nice days. You don't have to participate in class. Deff a fun teacher, very naturey
By far, she is the teacher who completely turned my college experience around. Before her, I had struggled just passing ENG 101. Thanks to her, I passed, became an English major, started writing poetry/taking her poetry classes, and am now a student at University of Cincinnati. Soon to graduate with my B.A. in English. :)
Absolutely loved her! I would take more classes with her in a second. She expanded my bookshelf and challenged me to read more classics. Best teacher I've ever had in college.
The most amazing teacher i have ever had. I will end up taking a total of five classes with her. Fun, interesting and meaningful information is covered by her and she is one of the nicest and loving people i have ever met. Great teacher and a great human. ENG101 and 102 goes on a naturewalk atleast twice a month which means no class work! Take her!
I LOVE COLLEEN WEBSTER! She is an amazing person who will transform your writing and your life! Some of our classes on nice days were "Nature Walks". Her teaching is concise and useful. She doesn't have lots of strict, meaningless guidelines, but instead asks you to just write something good. I love her! Definitely take her class!
Ms. Webster is a great teacher! It is beyond evident that she loves her job, and she comes to class everyday with a very possitive attitude and an up lifting spirit. On bad days you can't help but cheer up when you enter her class! Best part of my days sometimes. I def recommend taking any and every p[oetry course with Ms. Webster!
she has a really awesome message and tries her best with the students she gets
Colleen is awesome! I'm an english major but was never really into poetry. After this class I found myself loving poetry and still writing even after the class. She's probably the best teacher I've had in college.
Colleen was great. Had her back in 1995.....when Jake was around;)....Still thonk about her class all rheae years later.
Absolutely incredible class! Absolutely incredible teacher!
Although these were tough classes to keep up with, she made every opportunity to help you out. Loved going to these classes and discussions were very open! She made the class feel more open to say what you wanted and to be emotional if needed.
Absolutely wonderful teacher!! Very dedicated to helping students learn typical English 101 concepts in addition to gaining a relationship with the natural world. We went on many nature walks! Such a fun class.
TAKE HER CLASS. IT is so interesting, at least she makes it seem like it. I took her american women writers and I didn't think I'd like it but it was the best class I ever took
the classes I took from Colleen help me get over my fear of writing, made me feel like I had something to say.I hope her students in the future know what a gift she is!
I enjoyed this class. Ms. Webster is super nice and her grading method is super clear. Study for the tests and you'll do fine
I really liked this class. We read interesting stories, poems, and dramas. She's a nice woman plus is super open-minded. Would take another class with this lady
Very easy grader. Easily impressed with ideas and not as precise about correctness. Some love this, but I expected more help on my papers.
Cool person; fun class. Pretty easy grader too. Not what I expected since my past English teachers really tried to make me a better writer. But, I loved the class.
Colleen has such an awesome personality! She cares about the student on a deep level and is always ready to help whenever the need arises. Not only does she love her profession, but she's experienced, funny and easy to talk to - you should take her!
I would totally take a class with her again! Best English teacher i have had at Harford Community College. She was very responsive to students needs. When needing an extension on a paper, as long as she knew ahead of time she would allow an extension. She is understanding to all her students. You can tell Webster loves teaching!
Great inspirational teacher. Loves her job and her students. I've learned a lot from her and I am already enrolled in her class for next semester. Don't pass this gem up!
Professor Webster loves to teach and it shows. I took her for two lit course and three poetry courses - loved them all.
Wicked Awesome Person
Outstanding teacher!!!! Nuff Said!
Took her for 101 and loved it! I can't see any English class being unbearable if she is teaching! We went on walks, did many peer reviews on small papers and had 1 major paper.
She is one of the best English professors at HCC! She is very nice, understanding, and fair professor. I love American Women Writers class! She expected us to read the piece of work before every class and we discuss and takes notes. Only 2 papers. But we do a lot of reading so if don't like to read this class may not be for you.
Probably one of my favorite people (not just teachers). I learned so much from her class about life, the world we live in, and how I want to live. She made me think about our earth differently and exposed me to new views. She's not just going to give you a grade on something, you have to earn it but it will be worth it when you do.
She is very outgoing and knows a lot about nature, her English 101 classes are nature based so everything is strictly nature. It's awesome, you take walks around campus and talk about stuff you see. I recommend taking her this professor.
I love Ms. Colleen! Her English 101 class was environmentally based which was incredible. She loves going on walks and most of the papers you write you can choose the topic on, which makes it a lot easier. She makes English class easy and fun, plus she's an awesome person to talk to!
Colleen Webster is an easy A for basic English courses like English 101. However, for classes like English 219 (American women writers) she grades extremely hard. she is so passionate about the topic of women writers that she grades low throughout the entire semester. If you need and Arts and Humanities elective, take a different class.
Webster is absolutely amazing and I plan on taking more classes with her. She really cares about her students and she loves animals. :)
Best professor in this school . Hands down the best. She loves nature and the environment so if your no into that then this English class isn't for you. Shes funny and has a great personality. Very down to earth individual and shares her stories every day. I'm happy that I sacrificed my math class professor to get this English teacher.
Very tough grader. Great personality but definitely not for someone who isn't interested in nature. Must keep up and present in class .
Very great professor. Would definitely recommend her to anyone. You do go outside 3-5 times during her course and do nature walks which I found cool. Very funny and easy to talk to. By far my favorite professsor at HCC. Knows ALOT about birds animals and plants.
She is very fond of the environment and she is and excellent professor. If you know anything about nature, show up to class and participate you will get an A. The 7:50a.m. morning walks around campus can be cold sometimes but its good to not sit at a desk all day.
Prof Webster is amazing. Her class is environmental based and she gives the most inspirational lectures and really makes you think. Shes so zen and chill making it super easy to get along with her. She takes her classes on nature walks and prepares you really well for her essays. She shows you how to organize your thoughts and many examples.
I've never met a professor I love as much as Colleen. Cliché as it sounds, she genuinely cares about her students and I feel like I've learned a lot about myself from being in her class.
nothing else to say but an amazing professor!!!!
Before I signed up for this class, I came on here to see what this teacher was like. I agree that she was nice but I do not agree that her class was easy. She grades hard on our essays and she provides very little information on the assignments. I would only recommend her if you are an EXPERT on writing essays cause that is most of the grade.
I love Colleen. She is so amazing and really cares about her students. This class is essentially reading a piece about someone that affected the environment such as Henry David Thoreau and taking notes on the biography that a student presents in class. Just show up, read the assignment, and its an easy A. Colleen is the most down to earth person.
Colleen is amazing. This course is reading a piece and doing a biography about that person & the culture of that piece. My class was small so everyone did 2 people, but its really easy!! Theres a potluck day and you watch movies for the last 5 weeks! Colleen is down to earth and inspirational. Im taking her for a 4th time this upcoming semester!
Webster is an okay professor. She can be a tough grader and she does NOT use blackboard. Other than that her classes are fun and easy going. We went on a nature walk almost every class!
I had Webster for creative writing. It was an easy A as long as you do what she asks and turn stuff in on time. She doesn't use blackboard which is my only complaint. She inspires me to spend more time in nature and to appreciate the world. I love her little side comments and the stories and poems she reads to the class are always well picked.
Professor Webster is amazing! Be prepared to read materials before class and be ready to discuss the piece. Only two research papers to write and only a few tests, final is not cumulative. This is an environmental literature class and she takes her classes outside often, when the weather is nice.
Colleen is a great Professor and her classes are fun. She is deeply interested in what she teaches and knows a lot about nature. She doesnt give out too many assignments and you get to go on nature walks. If you have to take an English class, take it with her.
she is the best teacher ive had at HCC. she is truly caring and gives you a different in site on the word and how things we do have consequences. she takes class waks and it amazes me how much she knows about birds. would definitely take her class again
I have never liked English classes until I took her class. The class was easy but she inspired me and made it enjoyable to write about environmental issues. She is the such a caring professor and pleasant to talk to. Very friendly and approachable
She is not clear with how she grades papers. Never is specific in what she wants particularly and expects you to figure out on your own with no clue on how to fix an issue on a paper.
I enjoyed my semester with Professor Webster, she was very clear and understanding. Even though during this difficult time of Covid-19 , Professor Webster was always available to help in any given time of need. I would absolutely take her class again. Her Drama course is based upon reading and being involved with plays that you would go over .
I took this professor and I missed class one day and she COMPLETELY failed me. She also doesnt do grading criteria right. She also lectures heavy.
She is a very hard grader and she rambles a lot. She is also a very harsh grader and gives little to no instructions on her assignments.
One of the best professors!
She loves to go on about animals you've seen and she took us on multiple nature walks. Although part of the time it is off topic, she is great at what she does and really inspires me to be a better person and to hate the world for ruining the environment. 10/10 teacher.
I cannot get over how much I loved her and her classes, I have nothing but good things to say about her. She offers lots of extra credit opportunities and is so passionate about what she teaches!
Mrs. Webster is the best English teacher I have ever had.
I cannot express how much I love Professor Webster. She is one of the most caring and inspirational people I have ever met, and she is so down to Earth and deeply cares about her students as well as the environment. She occasionally brings her dog or cat to class, and she's incredibly laid back, would absolutely recommend taking any of her classes.
Professor Webster is not only a good teacher but also a great person. She is extremely caring and makes classes informational yet relatable. She gives good feedback on essays and takes classes on nature walks throughout the semester. She is very laid back. Would definitely take another class with her.
Professor Webster was amazing. I took American Women Writers with her and she was so incredibly passionate about the women that we read about and just everything she talked about. She occasionally brought her dog and cat to class which was always so much fun and we even had class outside a few times. She is so amazing, I would take her class!!
Great Professor, not very tech savy. Like at all but makes it work. Kind and caring person and is a pleasure to take her class.
Great teacher!! Class is always fun to go to
Best Professor ever! Super kind and understanding!
amazing professor! extremely caring and laid back. always made lectures fun to go to and is very passionate about what she teaches. she occasionally brought us on nature walks and brought her cats and dog in. she would always tell us stories which made her teaching inspiring and interesting.
Environmental focus in class with research topics having an ecological theme, mostly solo work with some class presentations. I felt respected as a student. You will get out what you put in - not an easy grader, but fair. Would recommend Prof. Webster to a friend.
Yeah she easy, but she is inappropriate as a teacher due to her cursing, sexual references, discussing unnecessary conspiracy theories, and allowing students to curse in class. She wastes time—class often starts 20+ minutes late because she talks about irrelevant topics. Lastly, she discusses politics and just assumes everyone agrees with her views
She's an alright professor. We got to go on nature walks a few times throughout the course. However, she doesn't give much explanation on what we have to include in essays. She also tends to waste lots of time, so I felt like I didn't learn much. This is an environmental based English class, so every essay has to include a nature component.
Professor Webster is very passionate. We only had 4 assignments all semester long. She isn't very good with technology though, we only saw/talking about grades at the very end of the semester. We also went on lots of walks.
Professor Webster is great! We took nature walks and read some short essays. Everything is environmental themed but that is what made it interesting. I would def take her class again. She is not too strict and doesn't have defined criteria for most papers.
One of the best professor I had ever have.
