Shes a pretty easy teacher especially if youre good in writing. She chooses favorites among her students though, so if you want a good grade, start sucking up fast!
Wonderful and nice women. Really loves to hear students opinion. Not that difficult of a grader. Makes class an enjoyable environment.
I took Eng 1 and 2 online. Dr. Dana gave interesting assignements, prompt replies and a lot of encouragement. Loved my experience with her!
Took course online. Good instructor with interesting assignments.

don't take eng1 online thinking it's an easy way out 'cause it's plenty of work. It's a good class though. interesting assigmnemts, fair grader, helpful
Dudes and dudettes, this is the most interesting progressive kind and good natured teacher you have ever met. Whoever bashed her must have simply not done the work, because an imp can figure out the online system. She is painfully clear and lenient. GREAT
Good class. So So teacher. Wish I could have picked differently.
The online course is only 6 wks & a lot of work.She grades easy on discussions,web analysis & workshops,medium on quick-writes & tougher on papers.I haven't written a paper in 12 yrs & took Engl 10 concurrently.
WONDERFUL teacher!! Have no idea who would say anything negative about her courses. Go to class, read your hw, be involved in lectures, promise you a A! Would've never taken a New Testament class with anybody else but her!! close w/her students, take her
No Comments
Online pretty fast paced, but if you keep up with the discussions you can get an A.She grades tough on papers and easy on everything else.Most of the reading is online to save you money.I found her to be very helpful and nice.I highly recommend her.
If you want are interested in ethnic literature in the US of A take English 10 with Del George. She has a very unique style of teaching; she nurtures creativity and inspires analytical thinking. The class covers various authors from diverse ethnic backgrounds and experiences.
Smart, funny, and cute; first class lady...
Great Teacher! Amazing Class! Highly Recommend
Very easy and nice teacher, but the work was a bit tedious at times.
Good teacher, always attentive to questions, insightful and personable, and thankfully- she had a sense of humor!
She is an AMAZING teacher. You actually LEARN in this class. I can't wait to take her for English 2!
Loved this class! Dr. Del George is very helpful and encouraging. She picked various topics that matter in today's society. YOu need to make time to participate. I totally recommend her!
Online class is fast paced especially 8 week course. She grades papers hard. She is a extremely paranoid about plagerism. Be careful. Still received an "A" but alot of work. My impression from her from the online posts is she is not a very friendly or helpful person.
Did well in the class. However, instructor stinks.
She's a very nice person, but not always very clear. I took The history of the New Testament with her, and I wasn't too familar with the text beforehand, and I felt that put me at a disadvantage and I was confused a lot. However, class is easy, I still got an A.
the best teacher. kind, easy-going, bright.
She was clear and concise about what she expects from students. She returns essays with comments on them. Very helpful and great for discovering your weak points in writing. Students: defensive peronality types out there can expect to get their ego's bruised, because she is straight forward. Great teacher, we need more like her!
I had no problem with the class. Lots of reading but not hard to do the work as long as yuo read the material. I got a easy "A"
I love her best professor!! she's the reason I am Lit major! Great class...I reccomend her to everyone!!
i really enjoy/ed her class. I'm taking her because my friend loved her, and I see why now, she made me want to be an english major again!!She is a fabulous teacher, and if you do the work and show up to class, you'll get a good grade. She is so awesome!!Take her!
Very demanding and unhelpful. Expected you to be a writer in English 1
Very clear and answers emails fast, which is important in an online course. Her grading is incredibly helpful because instead of just seeing the letter grade, she returns you paper full of comments and suggestions and questions. The best is that she is very open minded about subject matter and creativity.
Great online class. There is a lot of work, but it's easy to do if you stay on top of it. She grades fairly and is really helpful if you ask her for help.
Great professor. I took her online class and got an A. I had to put a lot of work into the essays and still got B's on them. Doing the other work helps to even out those grades. I liked Dana, thought she was really easy to deal with and quick to answer questions, etc. I also thought her class was well organized.
If you do the work and participate, you should get an A. Not a lot of room for error though. But that is the student's responsibility.
Dana is a great lecturer. Very erudite, very articulate, very smart and funny. She is very careful not to alienate anyone in the class, and is knowledgeable about religion, philosphy, and beyond. The class is exciting and fun. It's a lot of reading and thinking, but classtime always felt too short. I highly recommend this professor!
Great teacher! The class was engaging, discussions were thought provoking, you must take this class if you need to develop critical thinking skills. Also, if you do your job, read, take notes, and participate you will get an "A".
I loved this teacher - she is amazingly smart and challenges you to think. She is also very beautiful to look at. I loved this class and encourage everyone to take her. She is one of the best professors I've ever had. Take her only if you want to work and learn.
A lovely professor! She makes you think and is friendly and warm.
Lovely! What a fun and interesting online course - Religious Studies/Engl 52?? New Testament Literature class. I would definitely take another course with Del George. She is very helpful and enthusiastic (as a teacher should be).
She is a nice teacher, but the class itself is boring. She gives daily discussion questions which require in depth responses. A lot of reading is required. She's very helpful when using eCompanion because she will post certain class materials that will help in studying for exams. She wants students to do well in the course.
OK class, OK teacher.
Professor Del George is hot. She is nice too and a pretty easy grader.
Enjoyed this class - good learning experience. Was confusing figuring out exactly what she expected but once I did it was worth learning. Not the easiest but worth the extra time because you actually learn!
I took her for REligious studies online. She was amazing, always helpful and would always answer quickly. She gave a reading quiz for every week (6) and a midterm and a final which contained questions from the reading quizes and the virtual presentations as well as the presentations classmates did. Overall she was amzing!! and the class was superb.
Second time taking her Fall 08, first time online class with her Fall 09. Awesome teacher. Online work load - 4 assignments (1 of which is 6-8 pg research paper), 8 Journal entries, 2 timed essays, the rest is just online discussion, about 2 hours reading weekly (not a lot). Highly recommended over on campus ENGL 1.
Her grading scale is very odd, and in my opinion unfair. She starts your grade on assignments as a C and if you impress her she adds points up from that C. Getting an A on any of your assignments is next to impossible. I recommend seeking out a teacher that has a more appropriate grading system. Your hard work will not be rewarded...
Incorporates discussion groups, journals, peer-editing and thesis assignments alongside minimal amounts of intriguing handpicked reading. A practical vs rote learning structure sparks creativity & cooperation. Online class offers a plethora of opportunities to flex critical thinking skills while answering challenging yet relevant questions of today
Great teacher. Quizes every class, 1/2 of them collected & graded - easy to get all points. Class discussion, eComp info., mid-term, final & paper -easy to get A if you read & keep EARS open (take subtle hints). Interesting, but PLEASE keep an open mind regardless of your belief system - don't ruin it 4 all! She teaches in an unbiased manner. :)
Good professor. She collects 12 discussion questions so attendance is mandatory. She gives extra credit opportunity. 2 take-home essays and 2 exams. Not necessary to buy the textbook since everything is online or in the library. Just go to class, and keep up with work you can easily pass with a B or even an A.
Took her 6 week online english 1 course. Make no mistake, it's labor intensive and requires your participation every step of the way. But the work is reasonable and she is a fair grader. I'd take one of her classes again in a heartbeat.
I took online. I studied really hard and had put lots of efforts on this class. There were so many work to do and sometimes it was painful to keep it up with other classes. It was a horrible experience. I got B.
She expects too much from her students. It was the most difficult class i have ever taken at SMC. My GPA is ruined because of this class.
Coursework is interesting and teaches good critical thinking skills. Attendance is important because class discussions are very important to the written essays. She is clear in what she wants and is entertaining and friendly.
Very friendly, supportive, helpful professor. Class discussions are lively and very helpful for the essays (4). Work is challenging but analyzing skills are gained from this class. Do the reading, participate, and if you need help go to her office hours and you will do fine. From this class you will have gained skills for future university writing.
Best teacher at SMC!! She creates such interesting discussions covering the reading assignments that it begins to feel more like fun than work! As long as you come to class and stay on top of the assignments you will succeed. She is very warm, friendly and cares about her students. Consider yourself lucky to have her as a teacher!!
Awesome teacher! At first I was very wary cause she seemed really stuck up n looked like the type of teacher that would give a ton of work. My first impression couldn't be further from the truth. Go to every class and keep up all the assignments andyoure guaranteed at least a B. I learned more and had more fun in her class than in any other at SMC.
This Professor is somewhat easy, but attendance is MANDATORY. There are discussion questions she collects randomly when she feels like it. The tests are insane and does not test your knowledge about the bible.. She doesn't teach, but talks about other Christian related themes.. Do Not take this teacher. CLASS IS OUTRAGEOUSLY BORING....
I don't see how someone could give her a bad review. She's a really awesome professor. She requires a lot of reading, and she grades pretty rough, but she honestly just wants people to give 100%. Showing up, reading, and paying attention to her key points will earn you at least a B. I really wish she taught the old testiment as well.
Easy teacher if you attend class daily and do your readings. Although this is easy, the final and midterm will be the judge of your grade. You will get 10/10 on everything except the midterm and final. Be prepared to memorize 30 paragraphs (which range from 5-10 sentences each)for both the final and midterm. She chooses like 5 then you write.
I did the online class at SMC, and have to say it was one of the best classes I've ever taken in English. She was very clear and helpful to questions, was a fair grader, and usually gave us the tools we needed to get an A. If you are not a good typer, avoid the online version of the class.
This was my first class back at college in over ten years. It was the perfectly balanced between challenging and interesting. Del George was very helpful and even gave me revisions on my rough drafts to help with my final grade. I loved the topics she chose and found the online forum very friendly and easy.
Really great teacher and highly recommended. This was a hybrid online couse where you watch great Yale open lectures and discuss in class. She's helpful, tests are not hard if you do study guides, and quizzes/journals are easy enough if you do the work. Very possible to get an A, lots of extra credit too. But she will make you think. Engaged prof.
She's one of the most wonderful teachers I've had at SMC so far. Weekly reading and quiz definitely get you very engaged in the class. Midterm and final are easy if you watch all the online lectures and go through the study guide she provides. She's generous to offer a letter of recommendation if you do well in class. Learned a lot.
This teacher is obsessed with tracking down cheaters! Her syllabus brags about it each semester. She's especially suspicious if you're an F1 student. If you write better than you speak, she accuses you of cheating! I had to drop her class because she insisted I couldn't be responsible for my own work. I was afraid of expulsion.
She is easy teacher if you do your part do the reading and online lectures. The midterm and final are based on the online lectures. Quizes are easy and pretty much open book one every week. You must be in class to get credit for weekly journal which are a big part of your grade. I loved the class i learned alot.
You have to go to her class for the discussion questions. If you don't go then you won't get the homework points. She doesn't force religion on you which is good. However, she gave me a really harsh grade on my final paper (only project of the semester) even though I worked really hard on it. Do the extra credit!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED PROFESSOR DEL GEORGE. TAKE HER! SHE IS VERY CLEAR ON WHAT SHE EXPECTS AND WHAT IS DUE. IF THERE IS CONFUSION JUST LET HER KNOW AND SHE WILL ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF IT. VERY CLEAR STRUCTURE ON PAPERS. SHE IS VERY SWEET AND ENGAGING. SHE OFFERS A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT TOO! FOLLOW HER INSTRUCTIONS AND YOU WILL EASILY GET AN A.
Shes nice and enjoys group discussions, you have to show up to every class to get credit for that week's journal (which are worth a big chunk of your grade) quizzes are at home (meaning open book), midterm and finals are supeerrr easy and from online lectures. A LOT of extra credit! just invest some time into the class. easiest A.
Extremely underrated professor. If you make an effort you will do well.
Amazing Prof, i would highly recommend her, but not for international students. English is supposed to be boring, but she makes it more fun. Take her you wont regret it.
I took Professor Del George this Spring, she's really a great teacher. Her expectations are clear cut, no trick questions or pop up assignments. She really just wants you to learn and engage. I learned a lot about the New Testament. Do all of your assignments (not too difficult) show up to class and do the extra credit!
Write about 3 papers in total based on short-stories, poetry, and drama. Read the stories, they help w papers. She does not bombard you with reading, so do the reading. Lectures WILL help you in all the work, so listen and participate. A midterm2 timed essays on the reading. Final 2 timed essay on readings. Helps you review essay. Shes great!
Professor Del George is by far my favorite professor this past semester! She's super helpful, and she is very funny. She makes coming to class enjoyable. Homework isn't extremely hard, but be ready for homework every week. Participation matters!
She can be great at helping students with their writing. However, the actual online class is poorly structured. The due dates for this or that assignment are everywhere. You're bound to lose some grade points just because it is all too confusing to follow. I'm sure this works for in person classes but this was just a mess and unsuited for online.
She is organized, professional, quick to give work back. She is clear on what's necessary to get a good grade on exams and essays. She is also understanding. discussions are enjoyable and so is the readings. she always provided videos and interesting clips that related to our hw. You would really get the best learning experience for English.
Dr. Del George is awesome. If you want to learn how to write a research paper and strengthen your writing skills then definitely take this class. In 8 weeks I learned how to research, annotate, cite, and polish an argumentative research paper. She gives constructive feedback and talks to you like an adult. Class was hard but soooo worth it. A must!
Disclaimer: I took English 1 ONLINE, so it may differ from other classes. I loved it! There were no tests, instead 8 discussions and 3 essays. Professor Del George had an insightful curriculum with unique topics. If you enjoy writing or want to improve take her class! Also, the textbook is long, but I highly recommend using it for works cited!
This is a hybrid class and it helps not to miss the meetings at the school, where we study in small groups and then share our thought with the whole class. As far as online quizzes they can be taken multiple times as the primary goal it to learn! There are enough opportunities for extra-credit and if you study every week, tests will seem easy.
Taking English 2 with Dr. Del George was an enormous pleasure that has seriously developed my reading and writing skills. The way she conducts the class is unparalleled with what you would typically find in such a course. Every student is offered a chance to speak and engage in the course material. Do yourself a favor and take her class!
She is great teacher! She assigns interesting readings, that we then all discuss in class and Dr. Del George brings up very fascinating ideas and makes the conversations interesting and helpful for the writing assignments. She's really great!
By far the best English professor Ive ever had. Loved her so much for Eng1 that I took her for Eng2. Not the easiest class but she teaches you how to analyze and critique, and you learn about the best writers (Kafka, Shakespeare, etc). Theres a presentation for the Scholars section and it was the best solo presentation I ever did. The best at SMC!
Amazing teacher! Took a 8-week course and it was a lot of work. I had to spend a lot of time only for that class. If you want to get a good grade do all assignments and read her feedback. She responds fast to questions. One of the best English teachers I've had so far.
ENG2 with her was an immense pleasure. She made the classes interesting and somehow managed to make William Shakespeare fun to read. The book she uses is a bit pricey but she posts most of the readings online for students. If you take the Scholars class, there are several in-class closed-book essays as well as a presentation. (Obligatory chili)
Dr. Del George's Eng 1 course was great. The assigned topics were current events, enjoyable and interesting. Dr. Del George places value on actionable/constructive feedback among peers and she's interactive. My schedule didn't permit taking advantage of office hours, however, she was always willing to assist and responded to emails in detail.
Took her Spring 16' and absolutely loved her course! Her lectures/topics were insightful and really made it more than just a writing class. She is strict when it comes to knowing the basics though and grades hard. There was a lot of work, right from the start, so attending class is important. However, she is dedicated to making you a better writer
Very interesting lectures, very, very nice lady. Reasonable and manageable amount of reading and essays. Puts all the reading online.
Prof. Del George is a very knowledgable & articulate teacher who really knows how to teach one to think critically and read/write better. Most of her reading assignments are classics. You'll briefly explore the worlds of short stories, novellas, poetry, and plays. Take this class if you wish to expand your horizons. You will not leave dissatisfied.
Dr. Del George is one of the most dedicated, kind, humorous, intelligent, resourceful, articulate, and consistent professors out there. If you open yourself up to the imaginative literature she assigns and apply yourself, you will succeed tremendously in the class. Mostly short readings & quizzes. You'll connect to your work and classmates as well.
Dr. Del George is an amazing professor and I highly recommend her to anyone who struggles with writing like myself. Her criticism is fair and it really helps you get better as the course goes along. She is very responsive and genuinely cares for her students and their well being.
I have NEVER been so academically inspired by a teacher bro. She's the most intelligent/well spoken professor I've EVER had. She is incredibly caring, understanding, and kind!! I have no idea why homegirl at the top of this page is being so mf petty but i LOVED this professor, and so did all of my friends in the class. Would definitely recommend <3
Most amazing professor that I've ever taken, literally. I went in thinking she would be strict due to the syllabus she sent out, but turned out to be so understanding, amazing, and kind. Lots of reading, so be prepared, but if you follow her "recipe for writing," you will do very well on essays. Oh, I just loved her personality and class. RECOMMEND
I loved this class and Prof Del George. There's a lot of reading, but Del George does a good job at creating a good discussion in the class about what we've read. She's super open to everyone's understanding of the text.
One of the best teachers that I have ever had. During the pandemic, she made class so easy while the world was falling apart in front of us all. I would 10/10 recommend her as a teacher!!
Dr. Del George is a good professor. There's a lot of reading, but most of the readings are interesting. There are 3 writing exams and 2 papers. I thought she was going to be a tough grader, bit she isn't. Instructions are always clear and she's super helpful.
Dr. Del George is a great teacher. She makes you think outside the box and pushes you to work for a good grade. Her class was difficult at times but if you stay on top of the readings you can easily do well on the tests, written assignments and exams.
Dr. Del George is a phenomenal and esteemed teacher. Took her Fairy Tales class and learned so much. She challenges you to think outside the box and gives phenomenal feedback. Very engaged and really wants you to do well. Loved this teacher, the creative assignments, and her method of engagement. 100% would take again. Get ready to read and analyze
super nice. i took her online fairy tale class, no complaints. not too hard, i managed an A with a 9-5 job every day so it wasnt that time consuming. highly reccomend. great topic, i loved the readings
I took her 8-week long English 1 class, which I honestly felt was better than taking a full lengthed semester class. We wrote two essays and the first was one was written to help us write the final essay. There are discussions, journals, and quizzes weekly, but they were easy grade boosters. She also has multiple extra credit opportunities.
Professor Del George's class was very organized and lets you decide what grade you want. It's not hard to get an A, but I chose to go for a B because I work full time and I had limited time to dedicate to this class. I really liked the interactive video lectures where you get to answer questions as you go along.
Very clear on what she wants, four assignments due weekly. No tests and extremely helpful when writing essays, she was a great professor and I would love to take her again.
The Canvas shell had a lot of effort put into it, but was a mess and scattered. This made it very confusing to navigate and understand how she wanted work done. The grade of a C- is the max achievable if you do all the work graded lectures, essays 4 & discussions. Extra credit is worth 25% of your grade a C is the max without. The course is easy
One of the most passionate and caring professors I've ever met. I believe you can do better in school if you have a good professor. Do yourself a favor and take this class. She puts so much thought into this class and creates content for you to be successful. She gives very genuine feedback and is so kind and wants every student to excel.
Dr. Del George is an amazing professor! Her canvas was easy to navigate and you basically choose what kind of grade you want. She grades only on competition but still gives feedback so you know what to improve on. The 8-week course was pretty easy and manageable. I would love to take her again.
Dr. Del George is a very caring individual. Her course is super easy in my opinion since you are graded rather lightly. She always gives feedback but if you would like any more specific kind of feedback you should do your part and reach out to her. Really good course to level up your writing skills.
Del George despite having an 8 week course, was honestly one of the easiest professors I had. While I don't think the Go Further assignments should count towards our grade it did provide a nice opportunity for reflection. There is a learning curve for her canvas which is beautifully organized once you learn it. Just write for the rubric requirement
Professor Del George's ENG1 class is well-organized with engaging video lectures. Though the workload can be demanding, her constructive feedback and genuine care for student success make it worthwhile. Unstuck study was a great study aid alongside the course materials.
I took Dr. Del George for English 1 and it was honestly the hardest class I had. She is an amazing person who answers every question as fast as she can, but the assignments were horrible. You can only pick 1 out of the 4 she chooses and then have to start writing. No explanation about how to do so. She just pushes you right into it.
