Class consists of papers/participation. Easy class, but she grades hard.
Papers are easy and fun. Grades lightly, and will help you on improving.
took both eng. from her, hard grader, easy paper topics, very helpful
Very hard grader... Watch your grammer...
She is great!! Helps with all assingments before due date
great teacher, she is more than helpful and grades fair.
UNFAIR grader! She gives a daily 1 pg paper due almost every class. Every class discussion turns into sex and war talk. Very libral point of views.

Hate the daily work it sucks.
Easy daily work, write anything and get a 100. Exam papers: easy topics, get papers checked in AARK for better grades. I made a strong B
Ms. Bush is great! I took her for 131 and 132, and she is the greatest. She helps you with your papers, and she is even friendlier in office visits. Why wouldn't she grade grammar hard? English 131 is about grammar! For crying out loud she is a tea
People need to realize that Ms. Bush is teaching freakin' english! I think if anything, it should be one of the most difficult courses in school. Who wants to be illiterate! She is one of the best teachers on campus! Take her!
You should take her...she is very nice and helpful...yes she does grade hard on grammer....but that's life...I'm terrible at grammer and still made decent grades.
Ms.Bush is a good teacher, but i find the class times pointless because we talk about the same subject for the entire class time for two and three days
She is a great teacher! She will help you with your papers and the discussions in class help you with ideas. She does grade a little hard but what do you expect in an english class. She is doing it to help.
She is a pretty fair teacher. She does get off topic alot, but it is used toward the class. Alot of daily work but it is mostly easy.
Very good professor, all you do is talk about readings and write papers,She picks good topics to write about. Very helpful and nice, Fairly easy class. You should take her.
Very good teacher, she gives interesting topics, dresses like a hippie, and is very understanding. She is easy if you do your work which is ALWAYS easy. Recommended.
Ms. Bush is so nice! She is always available for help and is very clear if you need something explained. She is very fair and if you do your work she notices and takes it into consideration when grading your papers.
Recommended but NOT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.I made a B in the class but had to work at it.Easy daily work.Gives extra credit for being there every day.Paper topics are easy, very broad.Two papers are over movies(non-recent)that you watch in class.
Shes great I had her for 131 and shes very helpful. I enjoy going to her class. i have learned alot for a mature-old student.
She is ok, but she is not helpful, and she is certainly not hot! The last paper she assigns is really hard.
Mrs. Bush shows too much favoritism of students. She will help her "favorite students" the most while leaving others basically on their own. She is also a know it all and uses profane language. I would not recommend her for any English course.
Ms. Bush is a great teacher. Yes she is a hard grader, but you will do nothing but thank her when you get to your upper level classes. She is extremely nice and understanding of any circumstances, all you have to do is ask her!
A big hippy, shes alright
I really liked her personality, but she is a very hard grader on papers. I made easy A's in 131 but only pulled out a C in her class. But fix your next paper and your grade will improve. She's nice and open-minded, which always helps.
She gave me a B both times. Seemed like she just didn't want to give out too many A's. Thought the second time would be better. Wouldn't take her again. Don't get me wrong class was easy, but I deseved an A!
we brain storm every time we meet for our paper which helps alot. she is understanding and real she never goes around the subject shes always sraight forward about EVERYTHING. just to worn you, she gives everyone no higher than a C on papers.
I have not completed her class just yet, but have already written two papers. I'm currently working on the third. She is not a bad teacher, but she does grade pretty hard. If your willing to ask questions she will help you. FYI she practices Wicca, bu
I like her, when I started taking her class I thought it was going to be hard. I'm very glad to say that I was wrong. She challenges you, but it pays off when it comes to writing essays.
She is a very good teacher, but she grades extremely hard! You have to be a freaking genius to get an A on an essay
She is a great teacher. I am not a very good writer, but I still pull out a b on my papers that I write. You write papers back to back. Once you turn in a paper, that same day, she gives you the next topic for the paper. Definitly take her even if you suck at writing.
great teacher...gives like nothing but C's but still good...very nice...knows everyone by name which is very rare...helps when you need it...i definitely recommend her!!
Great teacher! But it was hard to make over an C on the essays.
I had a hard time writing papers in high school and even struggled with them to this day, but came out with a b average in this class. she curses in class,so if you don't like that than don't take her but she is very helpful and loves english. u watch movies.
VERY HARD, STAY AWAY, SHE PLAYS FAVORITES IN CLASS AND GRADES IMPOSSIBLY HARD. My mother is an English professor in San Antonio and she edited every one of my papers with me and never got higher than a C, my mother had a PHD in English, Ms. Bush certainly does not!
dont take doesnot know english. you think sh's easy but she dumb
she does not teach you about english or HOW to write in class she just talks about WHAT you should write. waste of money... plus i have never recieved a C ever on a writing assignment until this class, not even on TAAS(i got a 5) she counts off for rediculous stuff like underlining you topic.
I do not recommend you taking her for the simple fact that i have never received a F on any paper in my life and this lady gave me 2! She teaches what to write about not HOW to write a successful paper. If you have other options take them! SHE SUCKS
not very specific about test questions; you really have to pay attention in class; don't miss any days b/c she'll give you extra points of you are not absent.
She was a good teacher. But if you do not like to write dont take her class. you have 5 papers (thats including the final) But if you like to write and are good at it, take her
this class sucks. i havent learned anything at all. all we do is write papers.
Easy class, didnt really learn anything though! Wrote a lot of papers but very open on topic and she grades fair! I liked her a lot as a prof and she is nice and funny! Just don't take her if you want to really learn anything other than writting papers
She doesn't give A's. She's so incredibly nice, but I wouldn't recommend her. If you are somehow in her class, check your grammer on your papers all the time. Comma splices will kill you. My strategy was not to use compound or complex sentences. I pulled off a C.
Her grading seems to be biased and unfair. Before this class, I had never received a grade lower than a B on any paper. She gave me C's on all of my papers but one, while other students who struggled in other English classes made A's and B's. If you work hard on your papers and expect to make an A or B, don't take her class.
This class is hard, but if you take her critiques and go to her office for help she will help you improve your grade each paper. Unlike some people say, she does get As, as I recieved an A for my final grade.
Ms. Bush is a great teacher. I learned a lot about my own writing style in her class. She grades off of your ability or what she thinks your ability should be based of your first paper. She only wants you to inprove.
she explains everything very very well.. you have daily work everyday.. just dont piss her off..
Textbook is decent, the work is not hard. She does give daily work. When it comes to main essays she seems clear beforehand but not upon grading. I had difficulty understanding her grading system. She is great if you don't want to think for yourself.
This class was not hard, but it did require a lot of time. She is very helpful when you do not know what to write about. She is a fair grader. You will have daily assignments; as long as you do your daily work, you will get a 100. I would recommend taking her class.
Class was great. READ THE BOOK!! The tests are based off of lecture, which covers the material in the book. She tells you the questions that are on the written exam so you can practice before the exam. Daily quizzes and 4 tests...not bad.
This professor has been a bit tough, but she wants her students to do well in her class to the best of their ability. Mrs. Bush has been my professor for English since I been at SFA. She's tough, but you will know how to write a paper when you leave her class!
She really really really sucks at grading. And is super boring...i hate her class
This teacher is pretty easy! Just write a half page response to homework sometimes that is easy to BS. She dosnt teach much but tells stories in class. They are intresting if you listen or if you wanna sleep you wont miss much at all. I recomend her...
She does not help you if you ask her to. She grades papers horribly, and is very boring!
Extremely hard grader, I'm half way thru the class and i've written two of the best essays i ever have, and failed both. one with a 76 and the other 61. i've always written well in english.
Really awesome lady. Makes myth funny and usually entertaining. Hard grader and hard tests. You basically write 6 essays in 2 hrs. You will NOT do good on the first exam- you have to figure how your writing style meshes with her grading. Only 1 essay, 3 exams, and many quizzes. Quizzes are easy(usually 120pts).BUY THE BOOKS,unless you like failing.
This is not a hard class. Go to class, listen, and read the assigned material. You don't necessarily need the textbook if you have internet access for reading assignments. You CANNOT make an A on her papers, does not think there is a perfect paper, but does grade fairly. Enjoyed the class; gave great insight into the reading assignments.
This class isn't an easy A, you must read her text Weekly quizzes are not in depth, but tests can be. Took her last fall and was one of only 3 As She is a stickler for grammar (comma splicing) and spelling but does give out test prompts before the test Gives 2 hours for test and best way to prepare is to prewrite essays just listen, all will b good
Ms. Bush was extremely helpful and will to explain any confusing material- especially poetry. The class itself wasn't all that difficult. 3 major papers, a midterm, a final, and weekly quizzes that you can make up to 120 out of 100 points on. And if you have perfect attendance/ no tardies, you get 2 points added to your final grade!
Very hard teacher. English is not my subject at all. I don't know if I'd recommend her or not. She's just hard and talks the whole time in class. Very boring!
She grades extremely hard on papers. Impossible to make an A, lots of assignments due in short periods of time. If you aren't an English major I advise you to take someone else.
She is a great, down to earth teacher! Her class felt like a book club! You read the story and in class, we would discuss the story. The quizzes and test are straight from the stories and most people in the class made a B on all of her papers. She does not mind helping and explaining. I enjoyed her class.
This teacher is the best I have ever had in SFA! She is extremely helpful and made the class very easy and more important interesting for all. She would work with you if you had questions or concerns. The books we read, were super fun and easy to read. I promise you, you will love this class with her and fall in love with Mythology! TAKE HERE!!!
THIS CLASS IS HARD! Be ready for it. i took it as my last pre-requ and it was not what i was expecting. its not just simple Zues and Hurcules, its crazy in depth and she knows her stuff so dont try to just slide by. the exams are 2 days exams with multiple essays. ill be lucky to get a "C". dont get me wrong,some people love it but alot of reading
It pretty much impossible to receive a grade higher than a B in her class she is a good teacher and she is willing to help you, attendance is mandatory, she takes role every day, but she give you alot of chances to gain extra credit points through the semester
This class is hard. She expects you to read every day. The quizzes are directly from the reading but can still be confusing. But she wiil work with you.
She was so very boring. Every class was just her basically reading the books to us. She was very unorganized and her assignments were very unclear. I wish I would have taken the class online.
One of the worst teachers here at SFA. Her class was so boring. She has attendance as mandatory, but we don't do much in class except try to stay awake while she rambles. I am glad to be done with her and the subject.
She is a great teacher! Had her for Summer II, and she understands that there wasn't enough time to get into more detail, but she knows what she's doing! She relates to the students as much as she can, due to her being some what older, but she makes the class fun! Highly recommend her!
She is super funny and she enjoys talking to her students. She loves what she does and is very good at it.
She's quite out there... Participate and she'll like you and give you better feedback than the others. She says she never gives out A's on papers-so be prepared for that. There are daily assignments practically every class. She's obviously an East Texan, but she has an open mind about every subject.
If you show up and do the work youll do fine. Its a fairly easy class. very pleasant. and you get to watch movies!!! :) enjoy.
Professor Bush is sweet don't get me wrong, but her lectures feel unorganized, jumbled up, long, and difficult to follow. You better be prepared to read almost every night to keep up or it's gonna suck. There's only two test, a few pop quizzes, and over 168 names to know and we're only at the midterms. I don't recommend this class. Find alternative
Painful. Her lectures are very vague, boring, and hard to follow. Take another class.
Mrs. Bush is VERY into her class. She loves and enjoys talking about Mythology. Towards the end of the midterm and final, she'll expect you to read everything and her lectures will fall on that. I suggest you read and sparknote the books. It helps when you have to know people for her class.
I had Bush for mythology and I really enjoyed her class. You can tell she knows the subject. You have a midterm and a final exam. She also has you write response papers like twice a week to make sure your reading. She grades them easily. Write down the prompts she gives you in class because they will be on your exam. Gotta work for the grade!
She's a little too much into her class she goes from the beginning of class to the end which makes the class very boring. I extremely suggest you to take a different teacher if you want to pass also she makes sure you come to class with her mandatory attendance. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR
This Professor is a really sweet lady, who honestly knows ALOT about MYthology. The first couple of weeks can be rough because she teaches about creation, and since there are so many theories, be prepared to write in different colors, otherwise your notes will look pitiful. As she moves deeper into the class semester, read the book to stay on topic
Professor Bush was definitely the best professor I could have my first semester of being a college student. She truly cares about students and their grades. If you participate and get to know her grading process, life will be so much easier for you. I would 10/10 take her class again. I would take her again if she had a 132 class.
She is great and very helpful if you go to her office hours. There is a lot of reading but if you like myth then you should be fine. She give extra cerdit for coming to class but it is only 2 points. There are only two test but she give all the information in class to pass them. Take good notes and any one can do good in this class.
Had a paper due every single class day and they were graded as completion and then when we turned our major essays in everyone failed because we thought we were writing well but apparently not
LOTS of reading. Is a good professor, but there are 3 books you have to buy and you will be reading 100+ pages every 1-2 weeks. Be prepared. Attendance is mandatory. She is awesome and very helpful if you go to her office hours! The class is fun and so are the projects, it's just a lot to juggle for just one class.
Very hard professor, but she's also really good. There are essays almost every night on top of our major essays we have to work on. She piles the work on you and grades very tough. It's almost impossible to make an A. But, I learned a lot in her class. She's also very nice and interesting.
very interesting course. lots of reading but youtube videos help. she will pass you if she sees that you are trying and participating in class discussion. can be intimidating but shes very sweet and wants to help. she wants the class to succeed so ask questions!! do not wait until the last second to study. there are a lot of names to memorize
She loves whats she teaches, but this class is WAY TOO MUCH! She gave us a packet of a 117 term and told us to memorize all of them for the midterm and even though we haven't learn half of the people. If you want an easy class to pass for your basics, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!
She's funny and puts modern spin on the stories when she goes over them in class. However, she makes you get FOUR BOOKS and assigns readings from them every class. Lots of mini essays. Not too bad overall.
You must get the books for this class, you will read a lot in this class. It may seem like she is very lecture heavy but she ask a lot of questions that no one answers. It is not a hard class just involves a lot of reading. You have to put in the work in this class. Attendance is mandatory she goes over a lot of materials in class.
Professor Bush is a straightforward professor. At the beginning of they year she basically tells you how the final and semester exam are gonna be. On top of that most of her daily grades come from quizzes and short answer responses that come from readings so read! Lectures tend to be hard to keep track of occasionally, grades returned Mondays.
She is great when it comes to Mythology! She does require you to read a lot but its all interesting; if you don't read then you'll be lost the whole class. Classes are a requirement, don't come to class and she'll start counting off. She does give out somewhat tough exams but just read. QUIZLET and SparkNotes are lifesavers for this class.
When she grades she doesnt give enough feedback. Some of her grading makes no sense to the work that you put in. You will always be confused. Doesnt go into detail enough. Doesnt like online work. Makes you print all of her things out off of d2l. Not really organized with class.
Dr. Bush's mythology course isn't easy. You have a few papers, daily reading and a quiz every week to make sure you're reading. Her lectures are VITAL to understanding the class and passing so make sure you don't skip/ aren't tardy and she'll add 2 points to your final grade. She's very sweet and her class was fun but it did my kick butt
There was a lot of reading and writing but nothing really hard. By far the BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE HAD. (and im a science major)She creates a safe & inviting space for students to have an interactive lecture, wont move on from a subject until everyone understands. There was a project but it wasn't hard and she grades easy. TAKE HER IF YOU CAN!
I LOVED this class. This was a mythology class that was fully online. Dr. Bush made the class interesting and also graded with lots of feedback. We had daily work and a few essays which she made the topics very clear. I would definitely recommend taking this class.
Prof Bush was amazing as an English teacher. I took her for mythology and she is super passionate about her class and the readings, which makes it easier to pick up on the lessons. As long as you read you will be fine! Shes a super sweet lady, take her if you can.
