Great teacher! She is tough, she doesn't just assign you a paper and expect that you turn it in, no, she makes sure you are working on it by requiring you to bring it in what you have 4 times before the due date. I didn't like that about the class, however she motivates students better than other professors I have had. I recommend her for those students who like to write.

Her class is based off mundane amounts of busy work. Her homework feels incredibly unnecessary and unbearable. However she is very funny. I don't feel she taught me anything in a lesson per say. I do feel I learnt a lot through her feedback. She lets you revise your essays (4) after turning them in so you can get a better grade.

I absolutely dislike this professor. Completely unorganized, unprofessional, and inappropriate towards her students. She drones on about stories that have nothing to do with the class and puts the students on the spot. She still hasn't given us back the assignment that was due in the beginning of the semester.

Honestly this professor is great. She gives three essays due at the end of the semester and three quizzes. SUPER EASY! If you do the work and she sees you trying there's no reason for failing. GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS! she explains what she wants clearly there. Lets you revise your essays to get a better grade. GREAT LADY

This teacher is amazing honestly, if you go to class and listen to how you are suppose to write things you will easily get a 100 in the class. Professor Gyenizse honestly cares for her students. She always has stories to tell to help ease our stress. Her grading is very clear. I recommend this teacher 100%!!!

Was not what I expected. Based on the reviews I thought otherwise. Would not take again. She would go on about her life and did not teach us once. Simply, made us read the textbook. She does not grade until the semester is done and complains she does not have time to grade.

Tells stories instead of teaching. Makes us copy the textbook verbatim as homework. Felt like middle school work. While the essay can be written brilliantly, if there even a little bit of grammar that is incorrect, she will grade you poorly. Beware!!!!!!!

Professor G is hilarious and very witty. I love her class because she is really clear about what she wants you to do, she gives a reasonable amount of time to write essays. She will move the due date when the class needs an extra day. She also gives good feedback on the essay. Allows up to 7-8 absences, tardy is consider a half-absent.

Professor Gyenizse is awesome professor. She is a really good teacher. You will know what you need to do in class her in order to get an A. She is clear as can be on with instructions and what you need write on the essays. She grades fairly and is always ready to help you outside of class. I wasn't the best writer but came out a better one.

I took my final for her class last week and I still have no grades online, so I have no clue how I did in the course. Her class is easy if you don't leave everything until the last minute. She's really slow on grading and barely gives feedback on essays, also loses track of time in class so assignments are pushed back. Easy class but pick diff prof

She'll make you laugh with her stories. probs meet some cool ppl. BUT she's very unclear a lot of the times there were misunderstandings. Its her way or no way. Very specific w/ what she wants. All we did in class was read from the book & get into peer groups. You waste paper for no reason. Got a b even tho I would get A's on her assignments...

Easy to get a good grade but she is very confusing. With writing, it's either her way or no way, you spend entire classes just reading from the book or she spends the entire class talking about herself. If you don't like feeling like you're wasting your time, don't take this class. Otherwise, her teaching is interesting but you can find better.

Shes a very good professor! Although, she grades a little heavy on work, you just have to make the corrections she asks if you. The majority of class was reading and answering questions, which she makes everyone participate. She also tells a lot of stories but overall shes good. Theres also 3 major papers for her class that are not too hard.

She is rude and unprofessional, wrote to me in all caps and called my writing a "BLOB". There's definitely better professors out there who can give you feedback like a normal professional human. Failed to grade an assignment I turned in therefor giving me an F. When I wrote to her to ask her to correct it she never responded.

This professor was incredibly rude when I tried reaching out to her about her office hours, seeing as how she was incorrectly marking down my papers due to the MLA formating of Google Docs. She did not give constructive criticism and was incredibly hard to reach online. Takes weeks to grade work and is very harsh on the papers.

This professor is a very tough grader, she will deduct points just if you mess up the MLA format. Her assignments are extremely long for no reason. It's an online class but she assigns two assignments a day, twice a week, and the comments she leaves on your assignments are very condescending and sassy. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Professor G. can be a tough grader, but if you stay on top of the assignments and participate in class, you'll do well. The workload is manageable, and Unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for my essay prep. Overall, a solid professor.
