I strongly dislike her way of teaching. Basically you read some passage from the book, you come to class, you take a quiz on it, then she says that we are going to "discuss the reading so everyone get out your book". then she reads the answers to the m/c quiz. and thats all we do. its so dumb. i wouldnt mind so much if it was an easy grade, dont

This woman is the hardest grader I have ever seen! She takes off points if your Indentions aren't .8. Which I think is ridiculous. Do not take her!

This class was as expected, although slightly harder than EN 101. Be sure to work in advance. However, you turn in a draft for each essay- as long as you adress each comment she makes you will get a 100 on the final drafr, in my experience. Not much to the class other than the essays and a few short homework assignments that are kindof pointless.

She's quick to check you grammar, but she won't help you or tell you how to improve the actual substance of your writing when she grades the drafts, though I never reached out for help so I'm unsure if she'll give more advice. I found the peer reviews more helpful because they helped me with the actual assignment instead of grammar and wording.

If you are thinking of taking her class-DON'T!!!! Her grading is terribly unclear. I am accustomed to seeing a point value deducted for each mistake. Not so with her. Her Feedback is to copy and paste a page number in your textbook to refer to. No help with rewording sentences in your paper that she doesn't "like"-even if you ask.

Deborah Schwartz was one of the most unforgiving teachers I've ever had, giving no sympathy to any students. Her corrections are all the same and all refer to the book which is not very helpful. She gives no extra credit and does not understand sarcasm in writing. She loves to read papers about the most unless subjects and hates any adjective.

Professor Schwartz gave me excellent feedback on all my graded assignments. I have never had a teacher who gave so much feedback. Most of my previous English teachers just put a grade on the paper and added maybe one or two statements--not really anything that actually showed the needed revisions for my writing. Thank you for being so helpful.

If you are taking Dr. Scwartz's class for your Spring EN-102 semester, be prepared to get graded HARD. Make sure you follow the directions TO A TEE because she is nit picky on her grading.

I really appreciate the fact that Dr. Schwartz has high expectations for her students. She sets you up to succeed in college. College is not easy and with this as a Freshman class, I learned that the expectations in college are much higher than those in high school. Her class was challenging but so worth the knowledge I came away with.
