Doesn't explain assignment well, tell you to read teh book to figure it out. Mean if you ask her questions, she will make you feel stupid. Doesn't grade until the very end of class, she will grade your portfolio so u have no clue how well ur doing.
I have no idea what i'm supposed to do or what i have in the class
easygoing but you will end up clueless if you have her
She has a unique teaching style yet she is not very clear with essay format or what she honestly expects from you as a student.
I had this prof for 105 and 106 and I think she is great. If you write well, you will get an A in her class no prob! Grades are totally based on writing ability - so if you're expecting a curve, find another professor.
She talks, and is a good debate teacher if you ask me...we never talk about writing...just issues, and read people's work...you really have no clue how you're doing, so she'll say you're failing, until the final is done...
She is easy. Class is fun because you debate. The relevance of these debates isnt seem until essay topics are assigned. Some people say they dont know what she "expects"...it is a freshman comp class, what do you think she expects..?
She failed me!! I had an A till finals. You never know what she expects from you. But she is pretty easy, talks most time.
An extremely pointless class. I learned more in my senior english. What we do in class is unrelated to what we actually need to do for her. She is unclear in what she wants, and you have no clue what your grade is until the semester is over.
Fletcher's class was really interesting and I really learned how to write a good paper:) We actually talked about really interesting, controversial topics in a debate type of way, and it was always exciting. She's really funny and has do-able assignments
Her class is so boring. she favors her students and makes you fell stupid if u ask her a question. i don't recommend her to anyone, it's a pointless class!
compared to most comp 106 teachers, she's easy. you dont have random assignments or whatnot. just 5 papers which it's not as bad as it sounds. you can write about whatever you want, not just topics like abortion or such, anything.
This lady is very unclear in what she wants and expects from her students. She grades really hard, and every single grammar error takes ur grade down a lot. She hates when people show up to class late, and will embarrase them in front of class.
I had her for Comp 105&106, and I thought she was a very good professor, and would reccomend her to anyone. She demanded a lot, and hated repeated grammer errors, but that is expected from a College level English professor.
She favors a few students and singles them out throughout the course. She presents interesting debates, but as far as writing instruction, she is terrible. I learned a great deal more in my high school english class than from her.
Very stern, will not pass up an opportunity to make you feel stupid. Class was mostly disscussion, but was very informative. In spite of her sharp tongue, I improved as a writer.
Not very hard. Very opinionated. She stirs the pot and makes for good class discussion. Not as harsh as some think in the grades. Will basically write your paper if you ask for help. Overall Great teacher!
Stickler for grammar BUT if you give her your paper before it is due she will look over it and make corrections. In class discussion, some group discussion, a couple unannounced in class writings. Paper topic and length very reasonable. Work 4 the A!
very blunt, not friendly, hardly approachable, looks down on you, subjective grader, biased
Many days you will discuss topics from the reading section in class, she will mark down for grammar/spelling errors, not very clear on what she is looking for in a good paper, dont buy the Longmans Writer Book b/c you just use it for reference to if you have grammar/word use questions.
Really nice lady, good sense of humor. The paper lenght is very reasonable, and she provides help if needed.
Grades tough but overall she's ok. I'd take her class again. she likes to have arguments and discussions in the class.
Despite the awful commments said about her I believe she is a great professor and as long as you write clearly she is very easy and reasonable. She is willing to read your paper before you turn it in and paper topics can be based on anything in your life. Great Prof!!
Don't listen to the mean comments! She's such a funny lady and she starts the most interesting discussions and debates in class. It's fun to be there and the papers are very do-able:)
Excellent comp professor. Great sense of humor, don't take her too seriously. Paper's are easy, readings aren't long but boring. Willing to help.
Can we say the devil reincarnated? She wears black constantly and makes you feel like an idiot when you answer a question and your opinion doesn't agree with hers. Very biased, doesn't know crap about the real world. Waste of time!
wont teach a thing, those who get a good grade are those who know the material from highschool. Worst English class i ever had. didnt learn a thing!
She is a very good professor, but is a feminist. She is very nice and can be funny. She can embarass you but it is all for fun. You can look forward to her class though. If you want a good grade then you should take her class. But be aware of her feminist attitude.
Great instructor. Class is fun.
Formidable intellect--absolute master of grammar, history of the English language. She will make sure that you learn things others should have taught, but didn't. You should have seen her in a mini skirt back in '77. Best gams in the whole damn school!!!!
Good teacher, funny smart would take her class again, made learning fun and easy. Highly recommended! :)
Good class and very refreshing. Very intense arguments.
This is the second class I have taken with her and I truly believe that she is a great and fair professor. She is willing to proofread all papers and her debates are very interesting. Be sure to participate though because even if you do well on your papers that can lower your grade. Great prof!
She's great! Made what usually is a boring class into a fun class with all the discussions about issues in the text! She's not mean, and accepts ALL opinions, she gets the class to see both sides, she actually doesn't give away what side she's on. TAKE HER!
She runs a fun class and we had many discussions about interesting things.
I am not particularly strong in english, but I certainly didn't deserve the grade that I got. While some may think she's fair, I think she's v. biased but she probably doesn't even know it. Try not to offend her in any way. Grading can be subjective. Pretend to take interest. Its english.
I took her last semester, she is a nice lady, however, if your on her bad side, you better start praying cuz your screwed, and all it takes to be on her bad side, is a few times late to class. She grades very difficulty, and if she doesnt like your paper from the start, your DONE!!! I dont recommend her, take her if you want a challenge!!!
very easy
i had a good time in her class.
I agree with the person who posed on 6/1/05. If she doesn't like you in the beginning, you're done. Be smart. Stay on her good side. Bias can be a real pain in the ass.
Easy......I have learning disabilitys and i am passing her class. It id the fist English class i liked.
Fletcher is hilarious. She's a fairly easy grader- she grades more on grammar than content, which is good for all of us English Majors but bad for all you other people....shes cool.
she is funny and makes class fun to go to.
she grades more on grammar then content, shes pretty easy and as long as you know how to type a paper, then this class will be an easy a for you
Nice lady, a little odd sometimes. Very big into the environment (tree hugger, lol) She mostly grades on grammar and spelling, but other than that not too bad. She seemed to like my writing so I'm happy with her. Don;t know if I would want to take her again though.
fletcher rocks....good class
She's not too fair when she grades papers. She make things more difficult than what it is.
very nice prof., i liked her class so much although i'm not good @ writing. i learned a lot , and really made writing & reading fun. we had a workshop be4 each paper which helped so much. she makes the class fun. we had 7 papers and she dropped the lowest grade, that seems a lot of witings but well it's a comp class. highly recommended.
Fletcher is sweet! She sets aside a day before each paper is due just to look over it if you want her to. She is very helpful and the class is not hard.
Awesome class, Fletcher is very easygoing...Four papers, only two were research...easy grader, just make sure you cite things correctly and you'll do great
i love fletcher..take her..easy..and you learn too
I loved her class. She was very helpful. Class was full of interesting discussions on topics that are normally boring. She was very clear as to what she was looking for in all assignments. Its hard to do bad in her class.
Very nice and helpful. A lot of class discussions. She has her own opinion on things and sometimes tries and pushes those opinions on you, but other than that, she's very kind.
very easy and understandable take her
great prof... 4 papers and lets u reuse the first 2 to write the last 2. write on whatever you want!!! i recommend fletcher
very good teacher and an easy class, nuff said..... highly recommended
OMG,this lady is sooooooooo mean at times, and rude, her class is kind of fun cuz of the topics, but you really dont learn anything,she is very picky.
No Comments
She's overall not a bad comp teacher you can do a lot more work in other classes, Just read the assignments and go to class she'll get you to think about things in a new light and make sure you use proper grammer on your papers and you'll be just fine
Anybody who thinks she is rude is just being sensitive. She's nice and if you need help, she is very approachable. Obvious liberal bias, so if that bothers you a lot, maybe don't take it. Interesting topics and tries to get the class involved in discussion. She lets you re-do papers for a better grade. Very clear about her rules and expectations.
Prof. Fletcher's class was awesome. She's so nice, has a good sense of humor, and there were only 5 papers, plus the final paper. No final exam. She grades fairly, if you do it at the last minute, she'll know. All around, I enjoyed her class.
She was a cool professor. SUPER GRADES PAPERS, so make you profreed your papers prior to turning them in. I remember one time when the students graded each others paper and that was our final grade, yes very easy. Give input on easy discussions to help your grade. OVERALL, JUST FOCUS ON THE PAPERS AND SHOW UP AND U GET AN A.
I had her for distance learning. I really liked the class. It wasn't very demanding if you asked me. We only wrote 4 papers the whole semester and the rest of the time we were giving opinions on articles and participating in one online discussion a week. I would recommend her she was very helpful.
This was the second course I have taken with Professor Fletcher and although it was through Distance Learning, I still enjoyed it. We only had to write 4 papers. We could elaborate onto the first 2 for our last 2. No final exam. Required reading (1-12pgs depending on the subject) for weekly debates. I ended up with an A-.
one of the easiest classes i have taken. she's really nice and easygoing... you just read stories, discuss them, and write papers. i didn't learn much, however.
Prof Fletcher is a great professor! I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to take Comp105. She assigns about 5-6 papers ot write but only about 500 words each, and then there is no final! I loved her workshop days becasue you are not required to show up and it does not count against your attendance!
IM IN LOVEEEEEEEE WITHHHH HERRRR.. SHE IS THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTT :] I LOVE YOUUUUU
I like the class. Wrote about four papers. Three were a page and an half and the last on wast two and an half. Easy class. I didn't learn alot but enough. Highly reccommended.
i agreeeee wit the person that lovessss herrr...she is the****t im in lovee wit herr toooo i loveeeeeeeeeeeee you prof..im seriously in loveee
What a bitter old woman. REALLY picky grader! I've never had to put so much forth to recieve an A in a composition class in my life. DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!
she is awesome! so funny and likes to spark debated in class and really makes you think. assigns 4 papers, for the last 2, you can elaborate on the first 2. she does grade the papers hard, but it really helps. She also gives workshop days where she goes over your paper before its due and corrects the MLA and other errors which is awesome!
SHE IS THEEE BEST! 4 papers total.. the first 2 are non-research then for the last 2 you can expand the first 2. I had a MWF class and most fridays we had online assignments so we didnt even have class! Also, before papers were due, there were workshop days to help with MLA and format.. very helpful. She is funny and sparks debates. TAKE HER!
I loved her! She was fun and intriguing. She was always ready to help and there was never a dull moment in class. I wish I took her for my previous comp class. The class was never confusing and she made sure everyone understood what was happening.
Very nice, knowledgeable, listens to all opinions and helps develop writing.
Reading all these wonderful reviews, I thought she wasn't going to grade as hard as she did! Maybe she graded harder because it was an Honors class. She would reassure me & tell me my paper was fine & then she would give me a bad grade on it. Do not believe her if she says it's going to be okay! She ruined my gpa. She's rather informal though.
I thought Professor Fletcher was fantastic. She was funny and made jokes about the reading all the time. Her essays were incredibly easy, and she encouraged people to think outside the box for their essays. She responds very well to the use of humor in essays, though even a straightforward answer to an essay prompt will easily get you an A.
I liked Fletcher a lot. She's pretty funny and very laid-back. She'll give you lots of opportunities to ask for help, both from her and from your peers. She even assigns some interesting readings. Some others in the class told me she's a tough grader, but I got A's on all four essays without too much trouble. I'd take her again.
Professor Fletcher is a horrible woman. Avoid taking her class!!
I really liked Prof. Fletcher. I had her for Comp 105 and liked her so much that I made sure I had her for Comp 106 too. She facilitates really good discussions and her papers aren't too bad, she just has a tough grading scale. Would recommend her!
I love her.! Like dude, she's the freaking best.! She's very funny & interesting & she tries to relate most papers to interesting real life topics. She even gives an example by telling an anecdote of her own. YOU MUST TAKE HER IF YOU CAN
Good professor. Will help you with your essays before they are due. The topics discussed are interesting. If you have a strong opinion on nature vs nurture bring it up when you get to it in the reading.
My final grade was an A. You need to show up to every class. I got an A- on all my papers, and a B+ on one. I got an A on my final paper, which counts as 2 papers. She curved a little too. She is big on participation, you don't need to talk all the time but say a word or two every other class. attend workshops! she drops the lowest grade
The very best teacher for comp that you can take! She is too nice and very funny. I took her for 105 and made sure i took her for 106. Make sure you put effort into your papers though, and she will proofread your paper for you before you turn it in. Class participation also counts. TAKE HER

Great comp teacher. She is very helpful with papers. I would recommend her to anyone taking comp. Attendance will help your grade and so will class participation. She is so funny as well! Take her!
She's very helpful when it comes to essays. She gives "workshop" days which is one on one instructor help to revise essays. 4 essays total, has a "due date" but you revise with a group in class, take your paper home to edit, and submit next class. She seems cold at first but she's a nice professor. Uses textbook greatly, raises debate in class!
Best professor ever. Keeps you involved and is the most helpful. Very funny and she WILL learn your name in a day. She cares.
Prof. Fletcher is a really good comp professor. At first she may seem cold, and a tad mean, but as the semester continue's she really does open up and she becomes very nice. She is very smart and knows what shes talking about. 4 papers are due, and participation plays a big part in her class. If i can take Prof fletcher i would.
I'm a Junior & this was my 1st English course. I've dreaded writing papers. I'm so glad that Fletcher was the prof I got for English! Only 4 papers due - 2 regular & 2 research. You can expand the 2 regulars into your research ones! She was great. Only thing I'd say is I wish she hadn't told us to buy the book, I found it wasn't necessary to have

I really enjoyed going to this class everyday, I actually looked forward to it despite it being a 9:00 class. The discussions were funny and we talked about lot's of interesting topics. The assignments are not difficult if you have basic writing skills and you can basically write what you want which is very refreshing.
She is a poor composition professor. This semester she failed to effectively teach students the concepts that were outlined by the department and in her syllabus. She did not cover rhetorical concepts such as audience, purpose or rhetorical context. She did not go beyond the either/or debate, in fact her discussions were only either/or debates.
Do not take her classes if English is not your first language. In my opinion, she is not knowledgeable enough to identify correct use of language, instead she grades on mechanics and whether it sounds good. I read some essays in the class that used very advanced writing techniques but were graded low because it did not sound like a native speaker.
Only 4 papers and participation are graded. She does not teach, instead each class is spent discussing current issues. Attendance is mandatory, although you would not miss anything important. Grading is VERY strict. Even in grammar and punctuation are correct, she marks you down for things she personally does not like to read on papers.
Boring class, but better than it being tough. Didn't learn anything about english, more like a discussion class. Very easy. Just do a few essays, and you're good. No finals.
Great professor! Really chill class. Easy A class, enjoyable as well.
Great professor! Really chill class. Easy A class, enjoyable as well. You must go to class but it willnbe worth it
Personally, this was my first time having her as a teacher. Although, so far my class has only had one assignment essay, she sat down and looked through it with me telling me what I could do to improve. Discussions during class are based off the current issues book, and they are really interesting to me. So far, she is one of my favorite teachers.
For an English class, she mainly focused on discussions rather than writing all hour. Papers were short and to the point. No novels! Not hard at all, just do what is assigned and you're good to go
Despite my hate for writing, this class was the best composition class I have ever taken. Fletcher made the class really enjoyable and interesting. No tests, the class is solely based on interesting discussions (so participation is mandatory) and five 500-word papers. She is willing to read all your essays and give feedback. Grades very fairly.
Always there to help you. Will work with you before papers to ensure you succeed. 5 papers total, no other homework. If you miss more than 4 days of class, you don't pass (unless you have a good reason).
She is an awesome professor. very passionate about what she does and is always willing to sit down with you and help and edit your papers. There are a lot of class discussions so participation matters. the papers are fun topics of your choice and she gives wonderful feed back. You should sign up for her class! you will probably enjoy it.
She's opinionated and biased but that's why her class is fun. The class is basically debate on controversial topics. 3 papers + a final which is a research on one of the papers. I got A's, but some students didn't do as well. You MUST go to class, do not miss! Be creative and double check papers for grammar before turning in!!! (she will for you)
Professor Fletcher is a great teacher. The class discussions really get you thinking and help you to pick a topic for your essays. The best part was being able to pick your own topic for your essays. I would definitely take this class again!
Honestly one of the best professors in the entire school.
Fletcher gives good corrections. Overall, the class was simple with four papers and daily discussions. Reminds me of a watered down AP Language class.
great teacher!!
