I had this teacher 6 or 7 years ago. It was my 1st college class and now i am going back to school for my masters. I am pretty sure I owe a lot to her. i have never got less than a B on a paper.

Though her instruction is clear, her grading is arbitrary. Hard work would result in a failing grade while bs-ing the assignment results in an A. She responds to email quickly but her reply never actually answers the question asked. The class was a waste of my time and money. If you are lucky, this is an A class, but you will not learn anything.

I took an online class with Mrs Neighbors and she was uninvolved and detached from the entire process. She rarely had assignments uploaded on time, and got upset when we would wait till the last minute to post. The most irritating was her lack of response to our assignments, it was hard to gauge if I was going to make a good grade, always a gamble.

Finishing the class now and I am quite upset, as I have had extra help just to be able to get through the essays and I think I may have to retake the class with another professor. Countless DB assignments and directions for essays are found in 4 different tabs all varying with confusing constructions for each one.

Very hard tests based on memorization instead of understanding. If you disagree with her interpretation or use a synonym of the answer, it's wrong. I lost nearly full credit for using "Supernatural Evidence" instead of "Spectral Evidence" when describing the meaning of a quote. Also extremely rude and talks down to students for asking questions.

I took this class online I'm more of an in person student. The only things that I found difficult were she's a tough grader and takes off lots of points. She also gave a lot of work other than tat she was an okay teacher. What I did like about her was she would give great feedback on papers.

Just finished this class and I can say without out a doubt that she is a horrible teacher. She was very rude whenever I reached out to ask a question. Never graded in a timely manner. She gave horrible feedback on my papers. Never felt as if she enjoyed teaching, and is a very uninvolved teacher. Do not recommend her at all.

1) Very tough grader. 2) Unclear instructions. That is a very bad combination. Additionally, her instructions had typos and all the dates in BB were incorrect (from the last semester). The assignments weren't very hard on their own, but her instruction made them difficult. If you can get another professor, I recommend doing that.

Maybe the worst teacher I had for English. Would not recommend to anyone, the teacher takes a very long time to grade papers, the feedback is very minimal, the instructions were unclear, and the due dates were also messed up. Take my advice and sign up for another teacher and not this one.

Unclear instructions and minimal feedback. Harsh grader but instructions and syllabus are littered with errors. Due dates were posted incorrectly. The blackboard layout was terrible. 1-2 weekly discussion posts, 3 papers, a midterm, and a final exam. "This is a 200-level class ... Work representing the level of this class is expected".

Took an 8-week summer course. Harsh grader, unclear instructions, and minimal feedback. Several due dates were posted incorrectly. The syllabus and instructions were full of errors. Poor blackboard organization. Assigned 1-2 weekly discussion posts and responses, 3 papers, and two tests. Read Pride and Prejudice, The Well of Loneliness, and Sula.

Don't take her classes online. She's an alright professor, but not tech-savvy at all and it is extremely difficult to learn through Blackboard alone. Due dates may be incorrect, feedback/grades take a while to come in, and instructions are vague. Being able to ask for clarification in person is vital.

Please choose your professors wisely. I wish I told my past version self to never take this class, she truly takes her time with grading so by the time you get your papers back you're already submitting another one that you can't fix the mistake you made. Please avoid taking her class. She's a harsh grader and unwilling to understand her faults.

Not great teacher and person. Surprises you with the worst essay grades with no explanation. Gave me my first B bruh. Looks down upon students. Don't recommend to anyone.
