Helpful with your writing. Patient and considerate. Lets you have a chance at rewriting papers that you are not happy with the grade.
Very helpful Prof. She really helps explain the reading assignments. I would take her again!
Overall, this class is pretty easy. The teacher is pretty cool and makes the material as interesting as possible. You are usually given 100+ pages to read each week. The material covered in this class is ancient literature and is VERY BORING. The teacher gives you a chance to rewrite all of your papers, even your final project!
I TOOK THIS CLASS ONLINE AND IT WAS PRETTY HARD. THE FIRST QUIZZ WAS ABOUT GRAMMAR AND PUTUATION AND ON TOP OF IT THE BOOK ITS NOT ABOUT GRAMMAR, SO U DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO SUPPORT ON. WE HAD TO READ A BOOK ABOUT THE BIBLE AS LITERATURE AND IT WAS BORING AFTER THAT WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE BOOK, IT SEENS MORELIKE A PHILOSOPHY BOOK.
her class is very easy, she is also very helpful.
Very easy class. There is obviously a lot of reading material to do, but if you get it done and come to class prepared, then you're good. She does a very good job correcting papers and gives you numerous opportunities to rewrite your papers. She is very funny, and makes the learning fun.
Love her classes. I have taken her twice and would take her anytime. The online classes are very demanding, but she's always there to help. She gives her students enough opportunity to learn from their mistakes through the rewriting process. I have recommended her to all of my friends and to counselors at CCSN. Great Professor!
It seems that her online class can be challenging. However, I have enjoyed her on campus class. With traffic and distance, I drive about 45 min. every week to take her class, but is totally worth it! She helps students understand the text. She is great!
She is very lenient in when assignments are due. Beware procrastinators, you can get yourself into a lot of trouble if you don't stay on top of the work! Overall, one of the funniest and best teachers I have ever had! Highly recommend!
Although it was 5 sem hrs online, the class was very helpful. There were lots of assignments and quizes. Overall, the professor was great, and she took pride in her job.
I learned SO MUCH in this class. It has helped me succeed in every class I have taken since. I highly recommend this teacher if you want to become a better writer. I'm glad I took 100 (which includes grammar), but it is a lot of extra work, so be prepared for it! I think most students could use the review ;). The work was worthwhile!
Graded unfairly
She is a great teacher. Alot of reading and homework, but if you keep up you will do fine. She was very helpful and I learned alot from her. Would definitly recommend her.
no help when needed. online course, so getting in touch was impossible. for a teacher of 20 years needs to learn a few more things.
I really enjoyed taking her class. She made the stories fun and interesting with her point of view. Much take class in class room to benefit from her teaching. I never had so much fun in an English class.
She loves her Job and she really cares about people passing!
She is a great teacher. She lets you know on the very first day of class what she expects from her studetns. She eliminates the final if you show up for every single class. She will stay after, for questions. Shw is available on her office hours. She loves her subject, and it shows.
I took her class online and it was very easy to follow. She made it an even amount of work, it's up to you how you plan to work though. Only a couple papers and you get peer responses and one research paper, she had you write on a message board to communicate with other students and herself throughout the course, making it feel like you're in a cla
Dropped it the first day. Crazy amount of work expected in little amount of time. Tried to find the books, had a very hard time, went to three different book stores and none of them had it. Information for first quiz was missing, and when I asked her, she had given me the same answer over and over which made things not clear and she was not helpful
She's an OK professor. She was a bit confusing at times but she does her best to help her students. Does give A LOT of work but very lenient on due dates. A bit funny also. Most of her work is online, but that's what makes it convenient for me. If you can't take a crapload of work due every week, then don't take her. She let's you redo papers =)
The professor is very layed back and easy going. The assignments from week to week are very consistant so you always know what to expect. Overall, I liked the class and reccomend it.
Take this class! You can turn in all your writing at the end of the semester! She lets you write at your own pace. She lets you rewrite your work; you can fix the corrections she made on the work and turn it in again for a better grade! She gives extra credit, jokes during lectures, and with perfect attendance you don't have to take the final exam!
Best Teacher Ever! A lot of assignments, but you get rewrites on everything (AKA you get the grade you want) I took her 4 week summer class, ton of work, but guaranteed A. I highly recommend this class- and I am a mother of 3 small boys and was taking 2 other full time classes. The reviews on here are very accurate!
Professor Berry rocks! If you can take her, do it... Plus, she plays WoW which makes her that much cooler.
Professor Berry, in one word, is awesome. I was never really a fan of English class, but i always look forward to going to her class because she's just so entertaining to watch teach. She gives a lot of work but will let you turn anything in whenever you want, and she lets you rewrite essays for better grades.
Too much reading.
Too much reading. Not helpful at all...
This teacher expects way too much in such a short time. Your read a book thats thicker than the bible and about 100 to 200 pages each week and there are 14 test and HARD!!!! Dont do it!!!
If I knew that I was going to read a book that could be used as a door stop I would not have selected this class. You have to read anywhere from 100 to 150 pages per week, which means you cant really retain ANY OF IT! The readings aren't simple, it's mostly old english and you'll have to read it over and over, yeah like I dont have other classes!
I took Professor Berry for the Bible as Literature. Very interesting class. I wish this was an on-campus class so there could be face to face interaction. She's very fair on grading. She allows you to do as many rewrites on papers/assignments as you want. There is just a TON of reading, but what do you expect when you read the Bible? GOOD CLASS!
too much reading & not useful at all. Also, the message board postings requirement are irrelevant and a waste of time for her class.
I took the One Month Summer class at CSN and it was scary at first. She gives you all these milestones to accomplish and at first it feels impossible. Once yo start chipping away at it, it gets really easy. Plus, she allows you to make corrections to all your work which really helps out the grade. I recommend her class to anyone.
i took themes of lit class, but this class turned out to be a WOMENS lit class.She is a know it all, and makes us do WAY to much work. There were great works that i read--i dont even remember the titles! you have to read btwn 1-300 pgs/wk..and she is unclear as to what she really wants from you in her assignments. dont take this class!!
I am taking this class now. It is not an easy class. The quizzes are tough and the reading can go up to 400 pages per assignment, BUT she gives you a lot of time to finish each assignment. I love reading her lectures. Very funny. I'd rather read her stuff than the books we're required to read. 10 responses; 1 research paper.
Read 100 pages a week with a quiz,+10pages of responses & a 5-7 page final research paper. Allows you to rewrite ALL papers as many times as needed. Quizes can be taken 2x. & you can work at your own pace(NO DUE DATES) except for everything to be completed by the end of class, of course.
AWESOME TEACHER!Take her, shes great, always there to help if you need it, but not overbearing. Great class, and shes funny.
I wanted to Withdarwl from this class after I saw the amount of items to do for her class. Lots or work, however she gived you a lot of retries in essays to make your grade better. I thought this was an amazing class and she is a grat teacher. However if you don't want to do a lot of work, I suggest you get a different teacher.
There was alottt of work,but if you can be organized, then its easy. Work isnt hard (its just alot). You can always redo your work, which really improves your grade! So i suggest you do it! Ecspecially if your the type of person to get low grades on your essays. The Prof. always answer your questions in a timely matter.
Class got wrapped into ENG 223 after enrollment, so a lot of papers were required. BUT- she allowed unlimited rewrites and was extremely helpful on feedback. As a result, all of my papers ended up being 100% because of her feedback. She has an excellent sense of humor and makes the class VERY enjoyable. Do papers EARLY!!
This class is crosslisted with ENG 223. She's very helpful with feedback and allows you to do rewrites. This course consists of quizzes, one page responses, discussion posts, and a research paper. Overall I would recommend her since her lectures are interesting and she gives good feedback for improvement.
I can handle alot of work; but for a four week summer class is extremely overwhelming. If you work fulltime or more like me beware of taking this class.ITS ALOT OF WORk;when reading the reviews i thought i could handle the amount but when class opened up i realized that it was more work then i have time for. Pretty much you wont have a life.
Don't take this class, especially if you do not have much interest in WMST. You read 100+ pgs a week and are quizzed. You have to write 1 page response every week. This class is very time consuming. I wouldn't recommend if you are full time student and working.
This class is not easy... but it isn't hard either.. you have to keep on track, and do your work. she ieample time and space to complete assignments, reading is heavy, but not impossible especially if you want to earn about king Arthur.I really enjoyed the class.. no final, a bit of writing. again ample time to complete, and unlimited rewrites..
Really love Ms. Berry. She is entertaining, and her silly jokes make me laugh. Due dates are flexible, work is easy if you just DO IT! Do NOT procrastinate. Do the assignments on/near due dates, and you will be fine. Hybrid class. Complaints, lots of double-sided journals. A lot of materials/books to get for this class making it kinda expensive
Seven books to read, some are split between two weeks. Quiz every week. Class discussions required, and 12 one page responses to the books. Then there is a five page research paper. This is not an easy class, it takes many hours a week to keep up. Consider yourself warned.
Professor Berry is very clear about her expectations, and responds to questions and emails. Grades very quickly. There is a lot of reading and writing, and weekly quizzes. If you don't procrastinate, it is not a hard class. I learned a lot.
Great class! Learned a lot, and expectations were very clear. There is a lot of reading and papers, but it is do-able if you don't procrastinate.
Great Instructor makes even grammar interesting. Loved her teaching. She is example of what an instructor should be. OUTSTANDING!
I have not taken a formal english class in almost 11 years. She, was a great help, and the reason for my success in the class, with studying myself of course. She is so reasonable and understand and is very very helpful. There is a lot of homework at the beginning, but once you understand how to do it its really not much at all. CHOOOOOSE HER!!!!
Professor Berry expected a lot of reading and writing from the ENG 267 class. However, she is very clear about her expectations, when you have a question she will answer promptly, and her feedback on writing is very helpful. In my class there was unlimited rewrites to improve your grade.
This teacher is honestly amazing, her way of going about ENG 102 is not convoluted at all. She is VERY clear on what she expects for each assignment. And, if you do not understand, email her she respond quickly! There is a lot of work but she is not too strict about it. Late workone less opportunity to re-submit assignments out of 100.
The class was interesting. But there is a lot of reading and you get one week to finish it. You write a lot of essays. You also have to participate in discussions. It takes a while for her to reply back to messages. The work load for this class was crazy. The assigned books weren't on sparknotes which I didn't mind but context was confusing a lot.
Women's studies! you might think you're in her English class. The workload is stupid crazy. She uses the same lesson plan for English as she does women's studies so get ready to do 10 one page response papers and a 5 page research paper. If you are a auditory learner or a visual learner this isn't the class for you.
This class, while it has a heavy workload, is still enjoyable! There is a LOT of reading and writing, so just make sure you have the time for it. Professor Berry allows rewrites to improve your grade, and her feedback is always clear and helpful. She's also really funny! Remember to participate in discussions. This is a good class for writers.
Best teacher if you need to work on your editing. She allows unlimited rewrites as long as you get your paper in early. She edits everything and tells you where you are missing things. Also, her weekly tests have also the answers posted on Quizlet.
Took this professor on a four week section. This was a lot of work! She makes it a lot easier though, answers emails quickly, and grades even quicker. Rewrites are allowed for better grades as long as the paper is turned in early.
Class has way too much work! Almost impossible to complete in such little time. Don't take it if your working or if your in any other classes.
There is literally over 200 assignments, but the good thing is you work at your own pace & you can re-write papers for better grades. You can turn in assignments late without being docked off points. There are 4 papers that include doing 3 peer reviews on classmates, weekly journals, so much reading, in class pop quizzes taken with iClicker.
The amount of homework was a little outrageous for the majority of the course. Toward the end, maybe the last four weeks, it was manageable. The good thing about this course is that you can turn in homework as late as you want and can still receive full credit. She gives feedback on essays and allows you to rewrite them to receive a better grade
Professor Berry is awesome and gives great feedback. There is a ton of homework for the course. You have to do the work if you expect to pass. I actually had a good cry(aka breakdown) from shock at the amount of homework. The class is great and the professor works with you on late assignments. Total of 3 papers are assigned for the semester.
This course has so much reading. I mean so much reading. Also, so many papers. There is an MLA paper that needs to be turned in before you can actually participate in the course. There is also a 6-8 page research/final paper. Normally that wouldn't bother me if I didn't have to write 10 other 2-3 page papers in addition.
Professor Berry gives a lot of work to do! However, she may be the most lenient teacher I have ever met when it comes to deadlines. As long as you have everything in by the last day of school it's okay. I've never finished a textbook before and for her class I did 2!!! Always unlimited rewrites of everything as well!
I took her 4 week, summer, English 102 Course. Yes there is a ton of course work in a short amount of time, but it is doable. I learned more in 4 weeks than I learned in my full semester 101 class. You can tell she truly cares about her students. She gives you so many tools to use. Her feedback was awesome and truly helpful.
Despite the amount of work she gave us, she was truly a great professor and gave helpful feedback. Just be ready to read and manage time wisely and youll do just fine.
Prof. Berry was great. She made a boring topic interesting. She also made sure that while there was a lot of homework, it was useful practice. Also, she personally speaks to you when it comes to responses for your papers, and gives you chances to improve your grade on those papers.
Her instructions in her modules are not clear whatsoever. 7 Writing Assignments and 1 God awful Research Paper. This class is work for days and she is a super tough grader, highest writing assignment grade I got was a 87. Not worth the struggle find someone else.
In my first week I had 6 assignments to turn it! Plus we had to read 2 book and basically all the reading and stuff its not that interesting. MLA including and the research paper its a nightmare
You will read about 100-120 pages each week, and write at least 10 pages of responses + a research paper over the term. BUT you get to choose from a plethora of topics. She allows unlimited rewrites, and her feedback is invaluable. I rewrote at least half my papers and received 100 on the those.
At first, it does seem daunting at how much homework there is, but the Professor makes it easy to follow and keep up each week. There are a few papers to write and a research paper, but it's only as hard as you make it. She offers unlimited rewrites as long as you turn it in before the due date. I wish I had taken her for my other English Classes.
Easy class because she lets you resubmit papers, because if that wasnt allowed this would be a nightmare. Shes very picky about papers, but the resubmit thing completely relieves that. The weekly assignments were easy. You need to buy 2 books and a $20 app (dumb) but it is very easy after that. The class is work heavy, but it's easy just do work
This is by far my least favorite professor I have ever taken. She makes things incredibly difficult for no reason. Most of the class is simply just busy work and didn't help at all. She gives you till the last day to turn things in and unlimited rewrites on papers but is very unclear about what she grades on. Not worth the stress.
Professor Berry is by far the best professor I have ever had. Sure, there is a lot of work but what do you expect, it's college. Professor Berry allows unlimited re-writes and is always available when you have a question or concern. I was in her class last semester and went out of my way to take another English class because she was teaching it.
In this class, you will have to write four papers. The good thing is, after you turn it in, she gives you good feedback and you have unlimited chances to make it right. If you have a busy schedule, I recommend that you do not take this course since it is a lot of work.
This class is loaded with work from the beginning. We had about 26 assignments the first week. Her instructions weren't clear at all and you really couldn't tell what you had to read to do an assignment. This is by far my least favorite class and professor ever.
This class was complicated. I could never follow through and things would be out of order so it made it hard to follow.
i personally would not take a class with this professor again. the amount of busy work given is insane. and the sad thing about it is that you do all that busy work and it literally doesn't do anything to your grade. i like how we can resubmit essays but besides that, i'm not a fan.
Teacher is actually really caring and wants you to pass. Instructions aren't the best. I was completely confused a lot but she answered any questions and if she didn't classmates did. If you do the work and early you'll pass with an A. Don't wait to the last minute!
A writing & reading heavy class but manageable if you pace yourself well. You get to choose what you want to write about for every writing assignment, get unlimited rewrites, and receive helpful criticism on your papers. Not too harsh on grading as long as you can properly write and back up your claims.
You will have a lot of homework with this class and a lot to write. The instructions aren't the best and it's all reading. She gives good feedback on the each assignment. If you choose this class, be smart, do your work early. You will be stressing yourself out for no reason. You can turn in work late. Very strict on grading but chill professor.
Prof. Berry presents an overwhelming amount of info on Canvas, with weekly sections detailing the necessary details for success. Once I got over the "wall of text" which was intimidating, I did find it enjoyable. She's a funny person and it shows in her writing. Around week 9/10, it becomes more manageable. My advice: to read material carefully.
Professor Berry is the best professor I have had. She gives feedback on every assignment and allows you to correct your work. There is a lot to do, but she is a fair grader. If it wasn't for her flexibility on due dates, I would not have been able to keep up with my other classes. I highly recommend this dedicated Professor.
Great professor, took in summer for 4 weeks, gives you many chances to fix mistakes. Read the directions!! 20 activities (breeze through, just have good memory) start every assignment the 1st week Cerego, 5 papers, one research paper and reply to discussions, and you got an A. Definitely gonna remember this teacher. Changes your mindset in 4 weeks.
another online community college professor who thinks students should dedicate every waking hour to coursework. girl u not even the fart
This has probably been the worst professor that I have had throughout my 3 years in college.She is very rude whether its when shes talking to you specifically or when its reading the syllabus.Honestly, she is nice enough to allow resubmitting the MULTIPLE papers that are assigned but this is probably allowed due to her nitpick grading.
Worst professor of my life. doesn't give specific demands and then grades your grade saying you missed that but then she never mentioned it in the instructions.
Others rate her harshly. I get where their minds are at. They're wrong. Classes are handled like a college class. Show up, do your work, get your grade. It's a lot of reading, and it's hard work. But she also gives you the room you need to make mistakes and not be *punished* for it as long as you are working hard.
The hardest part was the Cerego quizzes because they included "Brain Breaks," where you had to wait anywhere from 5 to 15 hours before continuing, and each quiz had a different due date. You're given about a week to complete them. I didn't finish them all, but I still got an A.
The whole course consists of 16 Cerego quizzes. 5 one-page essays on any topic she has chosen. and a research paper that is 5-7 pages long, not including the work cited page. I took her 8-week course over the summer, it wasn't too bad, but just get ready to do some work and minor stress.
Not too tough for grading but she can come off as a little blunt in various ways such as her PowerPoint Slides for formatting and such..ive been able to maintain an A for this course which requires two textbooks, and cerego is used as well, along with weekly attendance discussions worth 5 points, and 10 'responses' to articles + 1 research paper.
To me, this professor is horrible.... Why is she horrible? Can you please explain what you mean? This is basically how it is with her; she cannot give clear instructions at all, she's not capable of it In addition, SO MANY ASSIGNMENTS, SO MANY ESSAY PAPERS, nitpicking and rude grader STEER AWAY FROM HER AT ALL COSTS GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!
