Very helpful and understanding teacher. Always available to email with questions on essays. It is very clear this teacher is all about success in her students.
She is super easy!!!!!! She doesn't want anyone to fail or get behind so she always works with students to get their work completed. She grades papers very easily and and she will work with anyone who needs help. I Wish i could take her again!!!!!!
Mrs. Manboard is a fairly easy teacher. She likes to joke with the students and rewards them with homemade treats at times. She likes to make students critically think about how to do their papers but grades easy in the end. She gives feedback on all papers so you know how to improve for the next time. I am going to take her again.
Great Professor! I took her for a flex class and she was extremely helpful, if I could I would take her again. Her projects were super fun and she never wanted anyone to fail, although since my class was a flex class attendance was mandatory.
she is a good professor make sure if you are taking her that you have complete access to your aces every assignment is posted and turn in through blackboard. She is a good professor but get ready to write, write, write
Mrs. Manboard is an awesome instructor.There is lots of writing in this class. She will help you through out the course. She grades fairly just do your work and turn it in on time
Awesome teacher to take. Work is easy and she doesn't want anyone to fail. Get ready to write like you've never wrote before! Took this as a flex class and we wrote close to, if not more than 20 papers throughout the course. 2 others were presentations. You will pass this class as long as you turn in your work. She gives feedback on all your work.
Really fun teacher. Likes to keep the class fun and always smiles. I took her for a flex class and it was by far the easiest class i took that semester.
She keeps class very interesting. There is work due but it's not difficult. She gives interesting topics and as long as you stay on MLA format you are good. There are not tests or real quizzes, but there are papers and some in class assignments. I recommend her and would take her again. I am kind of lazy and I still got an A.
She is very nice and very helpful, but you must attend class, because there a lot of in class writings. Class seemed more like a debate class than an English comp class, not sure if I liked it as I didn't learn much about English Comp. Only 4 papers though!
Mrs. Manboard is the best professor I have had so far in my college experience. What I enjoyed most about her class is the open and communicative atmosphere she kept. She was fair to all students and actually very liberal in her grading. I wouldn't call her an "easy" professor since we did have a lot of writing assignments,
mrs. manboard was the best english teacher in the world. i loved her she is so sweet and funny. she lets you turn in late work. and she helps you with your papers if you want to learn how to compose a good paper take her class. she loves class disscussions so speak up in her class. loved her. take her class
She was the funnest teacher ever, yes you use the textbook and you do write your essasy but she was fun and im very glad i took her. it was a flex course so we wrote 2-3 times a day but it was fun stuff. LOVE THIS LADY
She's very nice and helpful, you need help on something, she'll help you. A lot of writing you must keep up, though she can work with you if you fall behind. All you need to do is try and you'll pass. (format, format, format)
Love Ms. Manboard. extremely helpful and accomodating with whatever problems you may be having. Attendance is important because a lot of the homework is in-class. would definitely take her again!
Ms. Manboard is hands down the best teacher I've ever had. I took her for both 1301 and 1302 and I don't regret it one bit. She's so clear on everything and she never really gives homework except for reading. Super easy class.
She is the best instructor, she really cares about her students and wants you to succeed she really goes out of her way to help you.
Mrs.Manboard is the best english teacher ever. She doesn't make u feel dumb, and helps you pass as long as u ask and show you care. She even gives everyone a make up day to turn in work that was long over due, which no college teacher hardley ever does. Love her ! Best college teacher ever, you won't regret taking her.
She is hands down the best english teacher i have ever had. She taught me how to write an excellent essay. She is very sweet and kind. I would take a class with her anyday!
Love Ms. Manboard, she makes it fun and easy. Yes you definitely need your textbook to write your essay. Attendance is very important to her, but you also need to do your work its all in class. easy A just do your work. would def recommend her.
Love Ms. Manboard, she makes it fun and easy. Yes you definitely need your textbook to write your essay. easy A just do your work. I would def recommend her.
Best teacher ever! I took both english 1301 & 1302 flex classes and as long as you attend class and keep up with the work you will get an easy A. She even lets you turn in any assignments you missed at the end of the semester. She's funny and helpful, take her class you wont regret it!
Amazing teacher. i dropped this class before, and i really didn't want to take it, but i was excited to go to her class. extremely helpful, very open minded on essay topics. one of the best teachers for english (Maymester 2013).
She is a awesome instructor , as long as you keep up with the work and try you will be fine. Must have the book. Lots of writing but easy.
She seriously is the best teacher to take your first semester! Really easy, just do the simple one or two page essays and read a chapter every once in a while and your good. She really is a great and easy going teacher! taking her again for eng 1302 in the fall :)
Professor Manboard is great! She is super sweet and funny as hell. She makes class fun and gives really easy assignments. You will generally write in every class, but the assignments are very simple and fast to do. I will definitely take her for English 1302 :)
AMAZING TEACHER! She is super funny and knows what she is talking about. She is one of my favorite professors that I have ever taken, no I take that back she is the best professor I have even taken. I highly recommend to take her!
She is by far, one of the best English teachers I've had! she's funny, very helpful, and wants her students to do well. I highly recommend taking this professor.
She was ok. The assignments were confusing and sometimes you would not know if you had an assignment due or not. Grades essays pretty fairly- not easy. Didn't enjoy class, but the projects and discussions are fun.
Mrs. Manboard is one of the greatest English professors I have ever had. She has a great sense of humor which lightens the mood and she also doesn't give tons and tons of writing homework. I highly suggest taking her you won't be disappointed!
Dude! Just register for her class! I PROMISE YOU YOU WILL NOT FORGET IT. HANDS DOWN BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. Learned so much and had fun along the way. Great experience with Manboard.
Mrs. Manboard is a great professor. You can tell that she really loves teaching, and does not any of her students to fail. there are 3 major assignments(you can exempt the 3rd), a couple quizzes, and many in class assignments.Your grade is work based: what you put in, you will get out. However she grades fairly & she is very funny and encouraging.
Mrs. Manboard is in all honesty the best professor I've ever had. Class stayed interesting and she's incredibly down to earth and intelligent. Take her, love her.
I love her spunk. She is real, clear and concise. She is very helpful. I enjoyed how she let us be creative in our writing. I wish i could take her again. She is the best. Take her. You will not regret it.
Must come to class. There's a lot of assignments due and need to be in class to turn them in. She's a nice lady. Very respectful and helped me conquer my fear of composition papers. The topics covered in class are very interesting. You will definitely use you're critical thinking skills. May get exempted from final if you have a high grade!
This teacher is absolutely the best yet. I would recommend her to anyone out there looking for a great english teacher. She is so down to earth and so hilarious and nice. She is an easy grader and helps you out on anything. She checks your essays before turning them in. I will definitely be taking her for english 2. GREATEST TEACHER EVERRRRRRR!!!!!
Crystal Manboard is by far the best professor I have ever had. She works very hard to make sure each and every student understands what they are doing. She gives lots of opportunity for you to bring up your grade if you aren't doing well. She even helps out with answers on quizzes and she doesn't give long or boring lectures.
Very personable, and funny. Class isn't hard if you just do the work. Lots of in class assignments so can't miss! Good grader, but make sure you know MLA and citations!
Great professor, I highly recommend her!
Loved this class! She makes you work for your grades on the assignments, but they aren't hard and she's eager to help you understand something that may be causing confusion. Also, a fair share of in-class assignments but they help you improve your writing skills in the long-run. I would recommend her to anyone who doesn't mind writing!
Awesome teacher! Just taker her, you will not regret it!
Miss Manboard was easily one of my favorite classes at Northwest Vista. She is very clear on grading criteria, and is very helpful when it comes to fixing mistakes in your paper. Also one of the few teachers where I felt the class was genuinely "fun". Would love to take her again if given the chance.
She's one of the best english teachers you will take at north west vista. i recommend you take her, because she will help you with any questions you have and will always be there for you
She was a very funny and made me feel conformable in the class. We do some presentations but they are calm and never really by yourself. Tests are taken right there on the computers in class so study! Also make sure you have a flash drive because she doesn't accept printed papers. Other than that shes great and I would take her again.
If you want an english class that gets out early, take her. She was funny, but she makes you do a ton of work. There are other teachers that will give you better english grade for half the work and way more valuable information. The readings are easy, but there is an essay due almost every class. Also the instructions for essays were very vague.
I took Mrs. Manboard for English 1301 my second semester and she is the best! She is funny and clearly knows her stuff! Take her! You won't regret it!!
Mrs. Manboard was an amazing English professor. You do have to get used to her sarcasm and learn not to be too sensitive. Makes class extremely comfortable and interesting. Get ready to read and write essays though! They are all pretty simple and she gives amazing feedback on all assignments. If you keep up with class you can be exempt from final
Quizzes are not multiple choice. You get out early. A lot of writing assignments. Helps and talks to you if you need help (there's always time). You definitely learn something about writing academic essays. Not boring, unless your class is (she's funny though). Easy A if you're good at writing but make sure to buy the books, she uses it a lot.
She is a WONDERFUL instructor, she is hilarious and makes the class interesting. I Need a teacher that won't just stand there and lecture, she engages the class and encourages in class discussions which I LOVE. Show up and do the work. She accepts late assignments and gives extra credit. NO REASON TO FAIL. I wish she taught more classes.!
She will not respond to emails, and will not grade late homework. She is kind of funny, but other than that show up to class and do all your assignments if u want to an A.
Professor Manboard is an excellent English teacher! You do a lot of writing, which is understandable since it is a composition course. You also do a few presentations. I'm not someone who is comfortable presenting, but her class made me feel okay with presenting. Another thing I loved was she always gave feedback on every text entry or essay.
super awesome and sassy. gives you feedback on all your essays. she also gives out other assignments besides essays. so if you do bad on your essays you can still make a good grade. if you have an A in the class then you don't have to write the final. She makes you do a few presentations but they are super super easy. TAKE HER CLASS
Great teacher and person. Just be sure not to miss class and you basically cannot fail.
papers were easy, and if you need help just ask. she made it impossible to fail.
Great teacher! Easy work! Just try an you'll do great
Professor Manboard is a great professor! She's hilarious I always look forward to her class. She gives great feedback it's impossible to fail. Highly recommend!
Professor Manboard is one of the nicest people I have ever met! There are a lot of in-class assignments, but as long as you show up every day and participate you are guaranteed to pass. Plus, if you do well, you get exempted from the final.
Definitely one of my favorite professor's. Assigns a lot of in class assignments but nothing too hard, if you show up to class you shouldn't have a problem. Always grades papers quickly and gives helpful feed back. Makes all her students feel welcome and acknowledged, you won't be disappointed!
My favorite professor, she is so helpful you just need to ask. There will be in class assignments. She's also really hilarious, you won't regret picking her.
Professor Manboard is hilarious, she was great. Her class is not boring, and her assignments are not bad. Lots of presentations but they were fun. I honestly wish I took her for English 1301. I learned to become a better writer from taking her class. Mrs. Manboards class was a good comfortable learning environment and you will not stress at all.
I loved taking her class and I wish I could have her for another. She is someone I want to stay in touch with. The class was always an opportunity to broaden my writing talent and for an intellectual conversation.
She's really nice and helpful to you,may seem that she's being tough, but you can tell that she is joking with you, but in a professional way so you don't feel pressured. If there comes a time where you're going to miss class, let her know ahead of time or before class because she's very understanding about that too. You won't regret taking her!
There's not really room for careless mistakes in your essays, it's a pretty simple class. There's about 3-4 essays, but they're all pretty easy. You do need the book for some in class assignments and homework readings. The assignments are very easy and self explaintory also.
Prof. Manboard is the best! She's hilarious, my favorite class. A lot of papers to write, but all short and worth it. Gives great and helpful feedback on every assignment. Even if it's just a "Good paper :-)" Yes, she uses smiley faces. Treats everyone equally, gives extra credit opportunities. Taking her ENG1302 class, her classes fill fast!
Very good professor, makes class interesting will joke
Very laid back. The best English teacher you can take at Northwest Vista.
Dr. Manboard had too many writing assignments to count but they were all really useful and fun, actually. A few individual presentations, but again, they were enjoyable and extremely simple/easy. As a person, she's great. She'll keep you laughing. Great professor overall. I'd most definitely take her again for any class.
Dr. Manboard is by far the best professor I've ever had. She's funny & she genuinely wants you to succeed so she'll let you send your papers to her over the weekend and give you feedback on it to ensure you get an A. We used the book but the readings (articles) were all online so you don't have to buy it. DO NOT MISS In class assignments! LOVE HER!
Professor Manboard is really awesome I love her, seriously she is the best english teacher Ive ever had. There are quite a bit of writing assignments but they are SUPER easy (a page or less). Gives you extra credit opportunities. She's also super funny I'd take her again!
I LOVE DR. MANBOARD! Seriously my favorite professor ever, she is so funny and nice!
Dr. Manboard is nice and understanding, Dont skip class!! she offers extra credit if you take your essay to the writing lab. Lots of in-class assignments that are a page or less. Also group work and class discussions. You do need the book but wont use it much!
Best professor ever! Didn't have to do the final if you got 97 or above on first two research papers, which was easy. She seems like she genuinely loves teaching. Super helpful, very funny, gives really great constructive criticism. Lots of in class assignments, but they were very easy and quick. She made class fun and interesting!
My first day in the class I was shy but, the instructor was funny and helped us in class if we needed it. I was a little salty when she put a 0 on an assignment I didn't do. But that was early in the class, so now she reviews my papers gives me great feedback and still makes the students laugh. I am taking her class again and I would recommend her
She is cool. Very energetic. Greets you and everyone that walks thru her door. She cares. Alot of assigments and presentations. Gives extra credit. Her class is fun. Very possible to ger an A by doing your best. She grades everything on your paper with personalized notes. Everything is online. She has some cool stories to tell. Quizzes are easy.
very nice, not too tough
she is awesome, loved her class
I highly recommend this professor. She is funny at times and its an easy A to get in this course. Expect to attend class, in class assignments, group work, reasonable essays. The essays arent hard since its mainly up to 3 pages and she has great example guides for your essay writing. Shes willing to help and improve on anything.
I'm having comp2 with her. and she is AMAZING. she accepts late assignments and makes sure that you'll pass with an A. there are too many assignments but they are easy and most of them are done during the class time. I loved her class. take her you won't regret it
She runs a real strict classroom but also allows late work because of it. Her sense of humor makes the class easier to breathe because it is tough. Just write your papers and you should pass. She also give great feedback and really helps you understand how to be a better writer.
Dr. Manboard is one of the best English professors at NWV! She gives great feedback on all of the papers your write. If you want to pass the class make sure you do all of the assignments and do NOT miss class. As long as you show up and do all of your work, you will pass with an A. I would give her a 10/10!!!
She is amazing! She has by far been the best teacher I have taken at Vista. She is very funny and heavily sarcastic so if you do not like sarcasm she probably is not the one for you. If you do what she says you get A's, for 1302 if you make 96 or higher on the first two essays you can opt out of the final essay! Highly recommend lover her!
I took Dr. Manboard for both 1301 and 1302 because after my first semester, I knew I had to take her again. Although there were assignments everyday, they were never too difficult to do and you were always able to ask her whenever you needed help. You can tell she really loves her job and her students and I wish all teachers were exactly like her.
Dr. Manboard was amazing this summer semester! I would so take her again. You wont regret it if you choose her.
She reads power points word for word. She doesn't review the MLA format before your first paper, so points will be HEAVILY deductive off if you're lost and need a review. You will need to rent the book for the course with this professor. I would suggest you expand your horizon and look further at your other options.
Dr. Manboard is an amazing professor. The first paper she will be very critical, but it will help you for the rest of the papers. You do write a lot in class and for homework but it helps for future courses so you know how to format your papers. You have two easy presentations and you read from the textbook that helps you with papers.
The best professor you will ever come across for English. Decent amount of work given but the professor is very nice and allows you to make up work also gives you opportunities to not fail the class and works with you with anything you're struggling with including papers. Great sense of humor i would take Dr. Manboard again if i could.
Dr. Manboard is a great professor and I'll gladly be taking her again! While she is a tough grader, if she sees that you genuinely care about your grades and work hard, she will make it her priority to ensure that you have every chance to excel. NEVER skip class, your grade will be affected, as there are multiple in-class writing assignments.
Professor Manboard is a real gem of the Northwest Vista community. Her upbeat attitude and friendliness makes attending her class a pleasure. She will joke around with you when it is appropriate while also maintaining a very professional demeanor. She isn't too tough a grader, and is clear on what she's grading for. I would take her class again.
Manboard is seriously the best! She gives amazing feedback which really ensures that you get a great grade in her class. That is if you show up and actually accept and retain the feedback she gives you. She's hilarious and is always trying to see what she can improve through the eyes of her students, which is awesome! Fun projects and easy quizzes!
Amazing professor!! She gives good feedback on assignments and essays; accepts late work. Her lectures aren't overwhelming, just pay attention and ask questions if needed. There is a lot of reading from the textbook but you're basically just reading articles and responding to them. She's funny and gives the class a relatable environment (:
Dr. Manboard is my favorite professor! I actually enjoyed class and it was all thanks to her. She gives great lectures and makes concepts easy to understand. Her feedback was amazing and I depended on them throughout the semester. She's hilarious and if I could, I would totally take her again! Fun fact: she gave us playful nicknames sometimes haha
If you cant handle sarcasm don't take her very sarcastic!!!! but overall easy class she reads your essays and tells you how to improve them before turning them in.
I loved Dr. Manboard. 3 essays the whole year (one is the final). If you do well on the first two essays and meet a few other requirements you can exempt the final. Mostly in class work. Lots of interesting class discussions. A couple easy informal speeches but nothing difficult. 10/10 would recommend.
Great professor and gives great feedback for your papers. There are a few group projects but nothing difficult overall very easy class and sometimes all you do is come in do your work and leave early .
Dr. Manboard was an amazing instructor, by far the best English instructor I have taken. If you show up to class and do your work you should pass with an A. Shes very easy to talk to and work with, I would take her again.
Dr. Manboard is amazing. She gives you great feedback on your essays, and the assingments are easy. You will have a few presenations but mainly in groups. She's accesible outside of class. I definelty recommend taking her class! One of my favorite professors at Vista!
Dr. Manboard really helped me and my writing skills throughout this course. She cares about each of her students and gives great feedback on each graded assignment. There is homework and assigned reading due before each class but nothing too hard. 10/10 would take her again.
I think I made most of my advancement in English in her class. I always sucked at English because its not my first language but Mrs. Manboard made it easy. She gives you lots of feedback and helps you through everything, also gives some extra credit. Very nice and caring, she is funny and her classes are easy going. Great attitude & teaching style.
Down to earth and funny yet professional at all times. BEST PROFESSOR AT NVC! Maturity, professionalisms and respect for others is a must in her class. Promotes educated thinking and responses. Gives clear and helpful feedback. Assignments are done in CANVAS. Always extra credit assignments available. Show up, do the work and participate! Easy A!
She's very hilarious and willing to work with you. Not strict on late works and gives good lectures by answering all of questions you have. You can ask her for any help and she will give you a feedback and actually help you out with all the problems you are having on any assignment.
Dr. Manboard is very personable, as long as you're able to take a joke you'll do fine in her class. She's not one to leave someone behind if you need help, she's more than willing to help you on whatever it is. Getting the book would help but I say you could probably skim by without getting it or maybe just borrowing your neighbors.
This professor is the best teacher I've ever had. She is so kind, caring, and incredible at her job! She doesn't lecture heavy and she will do so much to make sure you are successful in her class! Seriously, if I could give her more than a 5-star rating, I would. TAKE HER! SHE IS THE BEST!!!

Dr. Manboard is the most caring & loving professor Ive taken during my time at Vista. I passed both papers with As but she still gave me a ton of feedback to help me improve to make my papers even more better. Shes super loving and is very understandable. I truly & fully, 100%, recommend you take her for 1302, best teacher Ive ever had
Dr. Manboard was awesome! Always gave great feedback on all essays and is always willing to help her students. Keeps the class interactive and has the best stories to share. You must be in class to do assignments though so attendance is a big deal.
Dr. Manboard was a great professor that always gave back excellent feedback on the work I turned in. She always made sure to provide feedback about the good and bad and she was always on time when it came to login for class. It was an 8am but she always had a great attitude but unfortunately she will be moving to a new school after this year...
Dr. Manboard is an amazing teacher. She really cares about her students and is willing to go the extra mile. No quizzes or tests, just mainly papers that are 3 pages max. It is a very easy course if you do your work diligently. Take her, trust me.
Dr. Manboard was great! I thought I would be writing 10 page essays but the most I wrote was 3 pages. Didn't really need to throughly read the textbook required she had slides from the textbook available to us most of the time. She grades really well and gives great feedback. She's kind and understanding. Love her!!!
Dr. Manboard was such a great professor I seriously can't recommend her enough. Her class isn't hard, as she just assigns simple writing tasks or papers, and she provides good feedback for your assignments. She really made me enjoy writing even more and I recommend her to anyone who is even half as passionate in writing
Dr. Manboard is a very kind professor, although if you don't stay on top of your assignments, catching up will not be easy. She is super transparent and locks every assignment overdue. She assigns a lot of essays and presentations so take the class seriously. Do not try to be her favorite, she does not give handouts.
