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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
