Nice,Yea she gives quiz after each reading. But she do this to prepare you to write the paper. As usually her paper is in the same topics that you have read or close to it.

I don't advise a freshman to take a class with her, I took the course this semester and regretted it. the class was not helpful and bad for your grade. I will advise checking other available professors before signing up for hers.

Lazy instructor(took a month to grade an essay) with no feedback on any of the essays. One might do decent in this course, but if you want to learn at least a few things, take this class with another instructor because she is not great at all.

Prof Potter has a history of being a decent professor but this semester it just wasn't the case. She gave minimal feedback and graded everything super late. I'm not a great writer but I came away with nothing from her class and have 0 preparedness for the next course. Perhaps she had a rough year and is better in person but I recommend anyone else.

This english class was absolutely the worst I have ever taken. She was vague on rubrics and refused to answer questions in emails. HEAVY behind on grading. It took two months to get our second essay graded and it wasnt until the second to last week. She won't provide proper feedback or help you in the class. None of the material was hers. Beware.

I worked tooth and nail to get into the class because ratemyprofessor said she was good. She took a long time to grade the first paper and I only got it back the day my second paper was due. She nitpicks everything and grades very harshly. I asked for extra credit or a rewrite of my first paper and she denied both. All essays were argumentative.

Professor Potter was great at giving feedback on our papers and always let us submit drafts before a paper was due. She was very lenient about class, if someone had something come up then it wasn't used against them and she did a good job of catching you up. Overall, she was a great teacher.

She is an overall amazing professor. Participation and doing your work is key. Professor Potter loves group discussions and they can be so much fun when you get creative with it. Dont be afraid to ask for help because she will make sure you are successful in her class and you can tell she cares about every last one of her students.

Took a month to grade essays. Got the grade back on all essays on the day the next one was due. Too many points off for grammatical & minor errors & never provided substantial feedback on the essays. Only critiqued the minor errors and knocked off TWENTY points. Rest of class is not bad & she grades those quickly. Beware if essays are not for you!

Prof. Potter is kinda ~quirky~ but she's a really great prof. Most of the class relies on small assignments and class discussions, there were only two or three big papers. Prof. Potter is really funny, relatable, and her grading isn't too tough. This class also just builds upon things already learned in prior classes, so it's pretty easy.

Ms. Potter is great! She assigned three major essay assignments and a final short essay. The concepts you learn are straightforward, and if you do the readings and follow the rubrics, you will be in great shape. She is always willing to help if needed and is quick to respond to emails. Citations and proper page setup are crucial!

Prof. Potter is an all-around solid professor. Three major papers are in the course and then a final short essay. She gives good feedback but does take some time to grade essays (over a month for me). My only irritation with this professor was the weekly readings. I skipped most and only read what I had to for discussion board posts.

The course consists of discussion boards and potentially a quiz per week. The main factors of your grade are the 3 essays and the final. She does take quite a while to grade all of them and will nitpick over small grammar mistakes and take off a lot of points for seemingly small errors.

Mrs Potter is such an AMAZING teacher. She's so nice and kind, and I wish I could have her as my ENG-112 teacher :( We wrote 3 papers in the class and did about 2 things a week. When we were working on a paper, we had no other work besides the paper. If you do badly on a paper, just talk to her about it. She is always willing to help!

Unreasonable grader, takes A LOT of points off for small mistakes like grammar, comma usage, etc. When she grades papers, reasons for point deductions are very vague. Finding clear instructions for big assignments is harder than doing the assignment itself. She also removes the past units so you can't find the instructions or go back to them.

Professor Potter was the best English teacher I've had in a while. I personally am more of a science person, so I have always struggled in English classes. Potter made it fun with many in class discussions and interesting essay prompts. Just make sure to keep up with all the little assignments in class because they do add up.
