Will challenge you mentally and make you think. Lots of small papers instead of a few huge ones.

Ms sikes was not only easy on the eyes, but was an excellent teacher. She helped every time I asked and gave me more help than any other teacher I have had yet. She rarely used the book but made sure you did the best possible for the papers. The hard part was cutting the length down.

I took the ITV class, and it was great. She was very helpful when I needed her, and I did great!

Class was disorganized at times but overall I liked it. She makes you think about things that you don't usually give thought to. Plenty of opportunity to make a good grade.

I had Dr. Sikes for Comp. II. The class requires quite a bit of effort, but her grading standards are not that high. There are no tests in the class, but, instead, she assigned three writing portfolios, each of which do require a lot of work.

itv english comp, i'm not a writer and made an "a" in this class, she is very helpful and well return emails promptly

This is one of the greatest teachers I have ever had. I will miss her when this class ends. She makes you think outside of the box. She doesn't use the book. The class loves her. We have laughed in every class. OH Yeah, and she is a very beautiful woman.

Dr. Sikes is one of the best teachers i've ever had! I absolutely loved her class. She is a great teacher. She always responded to my email quickly! I would recommend that any one who takes English Comp. 2 signs up for her class!

Excellent communication - via e-mail, phone. Available to help - very supportive.

Dr. Sikes makes class interesting because it's mostly group discussion about the reading. She wants you to THINK. If you are willing to think and participate by discussing stories you will do well. No need to buy the book, all stories can be googled.

Mrs Sikes is so amazeing !! She is so helpful and always answers emails in a timely fashion. Her class is so interesting you actually want to go. She is the best teacher I have ever had. I love her !!!

Greatest teacher ever !!!!!!!!!!!! She is so helpful. If you want to learn alot and have fun doing it then take her class. She ALWAYS returns emails and phone calls. SHE ROCKS

This is the best proffessor I have ever had.

She is really cool. I took her ITV class and we only had to write four papers. I think she mostly cares about punctuation, so if that's not a problem for you then she is perfect. She was very clear about what she wanted. I didn't have to worry about this class at all!

She is a great teacher. Wish there were more teachers like her. I strongly recommend her. I really enjoyed her class.

Professor Sikes is a great English Teacher. I took her class in Fall 08. It is an easy A if you work hard on the essays. No homework, no textbook needed. She will work with you if you are having trouble. Very sweet and makes you think outside the box. Highly recommend her!!!!!

Mrs. Sikes is an awesome teacher i would recommend her to anyone. you will not need a book so that will save you some money and her class is just fun. If you want a good grade in English take her !!!

Professor Sikes is awesome. Took her online class and had no trouble with it at all. No textbook, everything is posted online. Lots of reading, but she also has you watch interesting movies. Accepts late work including late essays. Very understanding. I loved her! Easy A if you do the work.

She really cares about her students. Class is mainly discusion with about 3 - 4 writing assignments

Great teacher, very understanding. I would definitely recommend her for an online course. No book needed.

Great professor, encourages class participation, and thought process. Text is recommended yet not required, as most materials covered can be found on the internet. Highly recommend her class. A+

Dr. Sikes is very pleasant, carries herself elegantly. She is professional and welcomes opinions and engages in discussions of all types. I had a good time and was exposed to various topics. She is very attractive and it was not difficult at all giving her my full attention.

she is ok to take. but she does hold your opinion against you if you express it. keep quiet and you will do well in her class. she will also give you dirty looks if she doesnt agree with what you are saying. dont say anything about elections or who you vote for.....

Doesn't use a textbook, which is wonderful. Great online class, not much work required. Picks really great stories to read. One 250 word essay just about every week or 2, or some study questions. Had her for 2 years, really glad I took her.

I WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TEACHER. GREAT STORIES! JUST DO YOUR WORK AND ALL WILL BE FINE. I HAVE 2 MORE MONTHS LEFT AND I HAVE A 100 IN HER CLASS SO FAR.

this is a very good teach that always holds herself in a respectfull way. class is easy, all she ask is you to read a few stories and to participate in class discussion.no book needed you can google all the poems and short stories. grades papers fair there are 4 major papers and a portfollio due at the end of the semester graded at lowest standard

I enjoyed her class. The assignments aren't that hard to do. Sometimes she can be a little opinionated, but who isn't you just brush them off and move along. I would recommend her.

people not recommendin her are crazy.she is extremely smart, helpfull, upbeat, and dosent expect a whole lot out of you, she realizes you have other classes.take her she is great.Im horrible at english and i got an A+ in this class.3 papers and a portfolio.the portfolio is just your responses to the stories that you go over in class.no book either.

Every question I ever had, she was able to respond very quickly. This was extremely important in thay I work full-time! I would highly recommend her and besides the course, her selected assignments are very interesting.

No text book needed. she trully cares about he students and the way they think of her. she is very elegant, knowledgeable, and helpfull.3 papers and a portfolio is all she ask of you. portfolio is graded at lowest standard, as long as you do it you get an A.. take her she is great and makes class fun and enjoyable as well as easy. highly recomended

Took Dr. Sikes for 1302 and 2333. Great experience. She is engaging and really brings literature to life. Take her in class as opposed to dl, as dl doesn't allow you to really experience her knowledge or her passion for teaching. The assignments are fun, regardless of the format in which you take the class. I highly recommend Dr. Sikes.

I took Dr. Sikes' Distance Learning World Lit II class. She does a fantastic job at choosing literature that you can "take something" from. She promptly takes care of e-mails as well as grades, and you're never worried about being lost. There was no textbook needed because Dr. Sikes (one of the few professors) takes her students into account.A+++

Online Class - Not bad at all - No Book required - just read stories online - You do have to rent 3 videos- No tests- Just Answering questions about stories - do the work get full credit for daily work and write 3 papers about the stories ( 500, 750 & 1000 words) Very fair grader. I'm not a great writer - Got a B. I would recommend this Professor.

I am taking this professor for World Lit I online class for this summer I. 3 test (easssy fo shezzzy) 1 major essay (abt 1,000 words) and a variety of lil daily assignments throughout the course (which she doesnt even check them to see if correct but you should do them b/c that is what youll be tested over)and she responds to emails pretty good! =)

I took World Literature online in a summer class with her. She was great. One of the tests stumped me a little bit, but for the most part this was a great class to take on the internet and during the summer. I would recommend anyone to take her. Fast-paced but fast credits.

LOTS of busy work over the short 4 week summer course. Very time consuming, but she grades super easy! Tests given on campus, and questions often didn't reflect the teachings, but grades are curved. I scored 75-80 on all the tests but actually received an A due to the curve. Just do what she says and you'll get an A!

Loved the class and the instructor; she is very personable and caring. Dr. Sikes wants you to succeed and makes that known in class. Attendance, class participation, and turning in required assignments earned me an easy A. Highly recommend her!

Took her for online Engl Comp 2 and made an A. Super easy grader! Doesn't respond to emails or post grades quickly at all. No textbook required-just read online stories and rent a few movies. Easy weekly assignments and three 1000 word essays. Made nothing less than a 90 on all work. You do the work, she gives you an A. Definitely recommend her!

Mrs. Sikes is very loving and sweet. We had 3 1,000 word essays and NO HOMEWORK :) She's a fairly easy grader, but pays A LOT of attention to MLA citation. She also LOVES to hear about symbolism in papers. Lots of off-topic class discussions. She reccomends the book, but it's not needed. Overall, this was a very fun class and pretty easy.

I took her online World Lit class and I found her fantastic. She gave us the entire list of assignments from the beginning. The material we read was incredibly interesting I liked her class so much I am taking her again in the fall.

What a fantastic class! I took her online for World Lit and she was outstanding. The material was very interesting and her organization and clarity are the best I have had online. She expects you to think and be able to effectively communicate as she should. IT IS A COLLEGE CLASS. Complainers and people looking to slide by need not apply.

You will need the book. She makes you write a 250 word response for every poem that is read in class. She likes to think she is hard, but she really is not. If you keep up with the work, and do that papers, you will be fine.

Took her English Comp II class and it was easy. Attend class, read the literatire (poems, short stories and dramas) and write the papers required. She gives out possible topics all the time. Takes the time to take class to library for research help. She is very accomodating for real life situations. Would take a class with her again.

She is a wonderful teacher. I've taken her online world lit. class before and really liked her so I took this class in the classroom. She is so interesting. I liked the papers we had to write because she lets you choose the topics in line with the reading assignments. Show up and do the work and you'll get a good grade. She's the sweetest woman.

Took her English Comp II class and it was easy. Attend class, read the literatire (poems, short stories and dramas) and write the papers required. She gives out possible topics all the time. Takes the time to take class to library for research help. She is very accomodating for real life situations. Would take a class with her again,P.S-she's hot.

Summer Online class.All assgnmnts & due dates were given at the beginning of class.Alot of reading.Mostly all assgnmts require a 250 word response.No book needed.Mostly all material was posted online.Test were easy.Part multiple choice and essay.You must know the material.Do the assgnmnts and you will do good in the class. RECOMMENDED!!

I took this class online. First off, I LOVE that she doesn't have a textbook. She sends links to what you need to read. She also incorporates movies into lessons. She is very nice and answers questions fast. I made an A. There is a lot of work but as long as you do it you won't fail. I would recommend her to anyone.

Professor Sikes is amazing! Very sweet and intelligent lady. As long as you do your daily assignments, and major essays you should definitely pass this class with an A.

Mrs. Sikes is the best professor I have had at TCC. She teaches you English and valuable life lessons. You have a few small papers and she does her best to make sure you are very well prepared for them. Extremely helpful and an enjoyable woman. Would take this class again if I could!

Professor Sikes class was very easy. You do need to stay on top of the assignments to keep up. I do agree that she can be slow answering emails, but on the flip side she will work with you when issues arise. I really enjoyed taking her class. I highly recommend her.

Mrs. Sikes is an awesome professor She truly cares about seeing her students learn whether it be in English or valuable life lessons. She does everything she can to help her students learn and is very understanding. She has a lot of insightful advice an stories. I would recommend her again and will try to take more classes with her.

I would recommend taking this class. There are 3 papers and a portfolio due. She helps you and gives ideas on how to write your paper. She makes literature fun and exciting. She cares for her students. She's a tough grader, but if you try it should not be hard to get an A.

Professor Sikes is the best Professor I have had so far. I highly recommend her. She does get carried away with stories, but she is hilarious and fun to listen to. You have to write 3 papers and do a Portfolio. She is very helpful through the writing process and gives you ideas about each topic on your papers. I loved this teacher she is the best!

TAKE HER! Best teacher I have ever taken! She is very inspirational and helps you with the writing of your essays. She cares about the students. Pay attention to everything she says and you'll do fine.

Dr. Sikes is one my favorite professors at TCC. Her class is not hard if just put in the effort. For what it's worth I think she is a good person and wants only the best for her students.

Dr. Sikes is knowledgeable & helps her students. No textbook required,uses online links and DVDs. She grades easy but expects an effort from all students on the writing assignments. The thing I found difficult in this class was the lack of definite structure and organization, especially toward the end of semester. Pay attention and attend class.

Professor Sikes is a storyteller and an inspirational instructor. Her teaching style is very relaxed and there is a laid back conversational atmosphere to her classroom. She doesn't require a textbook. Writing assignments are detailed and based on material studied in class. She is very helpful and really wants you to excel at writing. Great class!

Mrs. Sikes was the best teacher I had. She is a easy grader. You will have no problem passing this class if you pay attention!!!

Super easy, just complete the assignments during the allotted time period and you should be fine. Be sure to read all of the text/readings assigned those are tested over later in the course. She's horrible about answering emails, but her easiness on grading kind of balances everything out.

Took it online over summer, the assignments were very easy, there are 3 main writing "projects" i did all mine the night before and managed a B, but had i taken more time an A would have been achievable. She is very helpful and provides online sources so you do not need a book

Super easy class. Just a few essays and some class participation. She's a very kind lady, will read over your papers and tell you exactly what she wants so you can get a good grade.

If you love to read and watch movies then this is the class for you because you will need to answer questions and write essays about what you read. The topics aren't what I would normally readwatch cause they are kind of gloomy and sad. Be prepared to read and write ALOT, the class is passable depending on the work that you put in.

Discussion boards are used often and she allows late work. I got a D in english 1 with a different proffesor but got an A with Debra Sikes. Totally recommend to everyone. 3 major essays and easy weekly assignments. Take her!!!!!!!

Easy grading, accepts late work. 1 lesson per week with 3 major essays.

The class is really easy if you dont mind reading and participating in class because you will have to participate. Only 4 papers with plenty of time to work on each one, the topics were semi-interesting. There is no textbook required as she uses most of her topic from the Internet so thats a plus. I will defiantly take Mrs. Sikes for English-1302

Very interesting class!! writing assignments for every class (200 word portfolio), 3 major 1,000 word paper, no extra credit, no exams and she is an easy grader. Just follow instructions. She goes through your paper and makes corrections with you. She is ready to help if you are ready to pass. You should make an A

Ms Sikes is the best english professor I've had. She explains every thing through out her lectures. Every assignment is labeled with a due date on the syllabus along with what we will be studying that week. No text book or access code is required. Would definitely take again.

Professor Sikes is by far the best English Professor I've ever had. True, some may claim that she gives 'easy A's', but in fact you will have to work for it. She doesn't just teach the content, she makes you analyze each sentence and ask the meaning it contains. She's very helpful and approachable. She's willing to help, if you make the effort.

Professor Sikes teaches English a little differently than most teachers. This is not a "check which sentence is grammatically correct" class. As a matter of fact the first day of class she told us that if we bought the English book to go return it. She focuses more on the way we analyze literature. I now see much more symbolism in everything.

Mrs. Sikes teaching methods are a little different than a typical english course but it makes her class much more interesting. Her teaching style is very worldly and cultural, which allows everyone to learn much more beyond an English book. I definitely recommend her English Comp 1 and 2 classes to all students.

I love Miss Sikes! She is an awesome teacher! Write your papers and you will pass. She's not a hard grader at all. She is very intelligent and I enjoyed her class very much. I wrote 3 papers and learned a lot. Attendance isn't mandatory for all classes, but it helps. No books required.

Professor Sikes is SO AWESOME! The assignments are very straight forward and tests come straight from the assignments. I highly recommend taking her class. Online class is what I took and it was great.

She's is great!! Easy on grading. She genuinely cares for you. If you do all the assignments, it would be really weird to fail. Would definitely recommend to take her.

Mrs. Sikes is a great teacher! Taken for comp 2 and only had to write 3 essays. Do all assignments and you will get a good grade. She grades super easy and is very nice.

This professor is inspirational. There were a total of 4 major papers and several little ones throughout. The writing topics are very interesting and she is always willing to answer your questions and provide feedback. No book is needed! I would recommend her highly, especially if you have been out of school for several years and just starting.

She's an awesome professor and she made analyzing poems, short stories fun!!!!

She's a good professor. The workload isn't overwhelming like other literature professors I've had. Easy and clear.

I took Professor Sikes for ENGL 2333 online. The course material was given up front with clear due dates and expectations. There are about 2 assignments due per week, but you can easily work ahead if you choose to. If you read the material assigned and complete the work, the class is simple. She does not post reminders for due dates.

Mrs. Sikes is awesome, and very clear on the assignments. If you do your work you will pass.

She's great!! Opens up all assignments at the beginning of the semester so you can definitely work ahead. The work was fairly simple and she was clear about what she wanted. Weekly assignments and 3 exams. I made a B only because I didn't try on the first 2 exams (which are 20 questions each).

Mrs. Sikes is very sweet. I thoroughly enjoyed taking her for Comp 1. There are quite a few exercises that must be done outside of class to complete written assignments. So make sure you make time for that. She makes you feel comfortable to provide feedback from your own perspective and you will have to present a few papers for class evaluations

I have never met a better professor who can give lots of extra credit up to 20% of the total grade. she is inspirational. I never knew how to write but i think i had it in me but she guided all of us to great writers. and am gonna go ahead and wait till fall semester to take ENGL 1302 just to be in her class.

I have taken her for 1301 as well, she is such an amazing teacher! She is very intelligent and always makes discussions fun. She is very understanding, as well as an easy grader. 3 papers and a few blackboard assignments. I recommend her to anyone!! I wish she had more classes I could take!

Professor Sikes is awesome. The amount of dedication rendered is spectacular. She offers a ton of extra credit and 3 papers due with a final. The final is composed of writing a personal opinion of your favorite movie. Just take her, you won't regret it!

Mrs. Sikes is a really, really great choice. Offers feedback for the rough draft of your papers so you will be able to correct them for a better grade on the final draft. We only did about four major papers this semester, although you will need to do a lot of research for them. Makes sure you get a full understanding of the assignment.

I was not overwhelmed by the course load.

Great teacher! I took her online class for Summer 1 & ended with a B. Not a tough grader at all, do work and you'll be fine.

Just make sure you do your work and follow her instructions and you will be fine. Took it online for summer and will defiantly take her class again.

Choose Sikes! I took her for a 4 week 1301 online class and it was great. We had four papers and there are other smaller assignments that you will eventually "use" for your papers. The book was used but not very much. She wants you to learn and gives good feed back. I am a high school student and I got an A with ease. Trust me and take her.

Dr. Sikes' Comp I online included (4) 1,000 word papers using outside sources and documentation. Well organized website & clear instructions. Prompts for writing were lectures from Harvard researchers on topics related to professional success. Great feedback. I look forward to having her face-to-face this Fall. Well designed theme based class.

I graduated high school 30 yrs ago. I was very concerned about Eng Comp I. She teaches the class so you learn to write an essay at a college level. She just doesn't teach what's in the book. I actually learned how to write an essay, research and how to pull it all together. I would recommend this class to anyone willing to learn as I did.

Shes is a very sweet lady! Very passionate about her class and wants you to benefit from it. 4 major essays each worth 100 points. Lots of YouTube videos were you take notes and post them for points. The notes will help you write the papers. Great first class, I hope all my teachers care as much as she does!

Dr. Sikes is awesome, it took me a few weeks to get used to her teaching style, but I am glad I stuck around. You won't regret taking her.

Debra is an absolutely wonderful woman and it's obvious that she chooses the semester subject by the value it can provide for her students - Ive actually noticed a positive change in my own life since attending the first day of class. I'm looking forward to taking Comp II with Debra and I very highly recommend her as a professor!! :)

She is the Best prof. very caring about her students. She is always their to help you. Very patience. You will learn alot from her class. She will respond to your emails. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! anyone that need Comp ll. You will learn how to write a paper. She gives you positive feedback on your paper. Take her you would not regret it.

This has to be the best teacher I have ever had! I took her for Comp 1 Summer 1 and planned on taking Summer 2 off, but as soon as I realized she was teaching Comp 2 Summer 2, I signed up! I encourage everyone to take her! She is super understanding and helpful! If she teaches more classes I need, I will look for her no matter what campus!

took this class in summer 2 Professor Sykes was very good and she grade your papers she tells you what's wrong and she really helps you learn how to write a paper!! I would recommend her if you need an English class!!��

Great class! The concise flow of learning about a period, then the author, and then reading the works gives a wonderful insight into the piece rather than just diving head on into a new work. I took the summer version of this class and its STREAMLINED. Loved it because I could get a lot done in a very short amount of time! Easy communication too!

Prof. Sikes is an amazing teacher. She was very clear on her expectations as well as our assignments. She was always available if/when you needed assistance or guidance. She was helpful throughout the course and our coursework. Would definitely take another of her classes

She is very understanding. She will help in anyway possible. If you are having trouble just keep a open line of communication. She is always willing to help

I never thought I'd fall in love in English class! This was a hybrid class, I love it! This teacher is so engaging & is a breath of fresh air. Dr. Sikes is well organized, quick to listen, constructive feedback, encouraging, & she helps you to think outside the box. I will never foget Dr. Sikes class & students. She made learning fun & exciting.

Doctor Sikes is amazing! She answers emails right away and is always willing to help her students. She wants everyone to succeed and she's there to help. Her class was fun, and her instructions are very clear. She uses movies, a well as youtube videos, and we had to do some very interesting readings. Overall, I would take classes with her again!

Took this class online. She had a clear layout of each assignment and included resources for each one. Grades very easily. The material we had to read was all very interesting and it was not too abundant. Tests were a little hard as they are timed and I usually used every minute I had but she did offer curves after every ones grades posted.

Loved her! She does everything she can to make sure you pass. She accepts late works,works with you and is easy to talk to. All you have to do is show up to class and write your essays and you will be fine. Lovely lady who is active in her teaching. There is no reason you shouldn't get an A with how helpful she is. Plenty of time to finish HW

Professor Sikes provides great literature for lecture material. Did not have to purchase a book for the wintermester, which always helps. She was very gracious with grading but a very good professor!

I LOVED her. She made class so fun and although you must show up, you wont regret it. Even the chapters I didnt enjoy she made fun. She made learning fun. TAKE HER TAKE HER. She is a Gem.

Professor Sikes opened up my mind to think outside the box! I wish that she could teach all of my classes.

Guaranteed pass if you want to, she provides every material you need inorder to pass the class. She is very linient and very kind.

Dr. Sikes is amazing. She is very helpful if you put in the effort in her class. She gives amazing feedbacks and guides you on different outlooks on a paper. Her lessons are pretty straight forward and participating in the class does help. She gives great advice when you're stuck on a paper.

I love Professor Sikes so much!! She is the sweetest lady and is extremely helpful if you need anything. She is very passionate about what she is teaching and for each of her students. She is very understanding if you have sometime come up and need more time for an assignment or can't make it to class. Definitely take her!

It may not looked like I was enjoying her class but I was! Dr. Sikes is a great professor. She also gives good life lessons before class which I find very inspirational. She's very kind and straight forward with what she wants out of an assignment. There should be no way you fail this class unless you don't summit your work.

Dr Sikes is amazing!! She always responded to emails and was always willing to help me. She really cares about each of her students success and is a very understanding professor, which has been really hard for me to find. I also really enjoyed the literature pieces she assigned, I became better at analyzing passages and writing essays.

She is a good professor! She wants her students to succeed and will do what she can to help you lift your grade up. Mine was online, all assignments are available . If you are having issues with getting stuff in on time, just email her. She is understanding. I appreciate her and all she did for me this semester!

I took Dr. Sikes Lit II class over the summer. Class goes quick of course, so there is lots of reading. She is very clear on schedule requirements as well as assignment expectations. She gives great examples/ reviews of expectations to help you pass. Responds fairly quickly during the week to email. She does Jeep home/life balance which I love.

I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Sikes to anyone needing to take English! As long as you simply do the work, it is an easy A. She collects late work with no penalty and truly wants her students to succeed. I am in her hybrid class and think that is the way to go. She gives PLENTY of time to finish assignments and essays.

Dr. Sikes was a wonderful professor and her assignments were always inspiring and relevant. I really appreciated the films and literature we viewed, and she graded generously accepting late work with no points off and reminding students what was due. I also liked that she used free, online materials in lieu of a textbook.I highly recommend her!

Dr. Sikes is AMAZING! If you want to be engaged, informed and inspiring well, her American Literature class is the best class for you. She truly cares about the society, her students and the since of liberty through social, economical and educational perspectives. I would take her class a MILLION TIMES OVER!

I took Dr. Sikes for an 8-week course online. The key things that Dr. Sikes grades on is correct grammar, sentence structure, and correct MLA formatting. Content of manuscript is not as heavily graded as correct format. I never met Dr. Sikes in person, so I can't speak on her character. She simply expects students to perform college level work.

Her course is very straight forward. For me, it was a great course for someone who needs/likes to work ahead. Complete the assignments, read her feedback to improve following assignments, and you will do great!

I took her class, hybrid-style. She accepts late work until the end of the semester, but she does set due dates to make sure you aren't behind. She is amazing, kind, and one of the easiest A's you could earn for basics. Take her class, she's amazing! One of the best profs I could've asked for.

If you turn the work in there is NO WAY that you won't get an A. Her class is organized, and her expectations are clear. She gives you EVERYTHING you need to make an A. There are several assignments each week, but they are not hard, or all that time-consuming. Be prepared to watch a couple of long movies! But a GREAT class, and professor.

Half of the semester of this class was taken online due to COVID-19. Sikes was very understanding, she helped us get through the transition communicating to us steps on how to pass and get work done. A very great professor for understanding our situation.

I took her hybrid class, she was so funny and talked about real life problems. We would have to write 300 words each week for our homework to discuss what we read and then discussed it. She would explain clearly what she wanted from us. Only 2 essays and an easy presentation for final.

This was a class that, due to COVID-19, changed from face-to-face to online. Being English my second language, I was afraid to take this class, it was not as difficult as I thought. Dr. Sikes knows how to make her classes interesting. She cares and helps you see things from other perspectives. I highly recommend her.

Please take this class with Dr. Sikes!!! I'm only a sophomore in high school and I had to take this class for dual credit. I was a little nervous to be doing it online because of COVID-19 but she makes it work so well. She is so understanding and as patient as they come. Late work is accepted as well as extra credit assignments. Easy A PLEASE TAKE!

One of my first online classes to take because of COVID. She is a great online teacher. She gets back to you on emails and she is lovely. I chose her because she accepts late-work. You can also work ahead if you want! She will work with you on any issues that may come up. God Bless you, Dr. Sikes!

Took it online and the assignments were clear, easy, and sometimes a fun challenge to write about. It progressively got "harder" but they were evenly spaced out and you could finish them all from day one. She was easy to email and get a response.

Professor Sikes is a really good professor, especially if you want to pass or do well. She even accepts late work with no penalties so if you're really stressed and backed up with other due dates you can let her know you won't be turning in an essay on time and she is totally fine with it so long as you eventually get it turned in. Solid choice.

if you can- TAKE HER!! she is a great professor and a fair grader. she doesn't count off for late grades and as long as you turn it in you get a grade! she gives you all the work for the whole semester and you do it at your own pace-she does have suggested due dates. there's papers but duh its a comp class. she is great, take her! she cares!

Professor Sikes is a fantastic teacher. She is organized and gives clear instructions. She doesn't penalize students for late work. She is easy to contact and just a genuinely nice human being. She is such an excellent teacher that I chose to take her classes twice.

She is a great professor and as long as you try and listen to her feedback there's no way you cant get an A. For every paper, you get she makes sure to correct it and give the necessary feedback, and then you can correct it. She doesn't count late work and gives extra credit. Definitely should take this class.

I took her class spring 2021, her class was pretty laid back. There was 3-4 major papers and they are not graded hard she does except late work.

Really easy, would take again. If you do what she asks, you are guaranteed to pass.

Professor Sikes was an amazing instructor, I took her two week course in the summer, her syllabus and grading criteria made it very clear on what I was to expect. Her class helped me transition to a school/ work schedule and provided me a good starting point on what I was to expect for the rest of my time in school. 10/10 would recommend.

Her class was so easy. I definitely recommend. She was extremely understanding during covid, she did not offer extra credit, but she was super lenient with grading and due date.

She is a really good teacher. This is my first time taking her class, and I already signed up for her class next semester. The assignments are very straight forward and easy to understand. She gives good feedback about your essays before turning it in for the final grade. Attendance is not mandatory. I'd recommend taking her!

easier grader but picky on little things when it comes to final essays. Class is not mandatory just dont fall behind

We only met once a week and we didnt get many assignments for each week, the assignments were easy and actually applicable to what we were learning and not just busy work. We only had about 4 major essays but she gives a nice outline to follow so they were not hard.

Class only met once a week, every assignment for the semester was already loaded online so you could work ahead if you wanted to. If you miss class you wont miss much important info. The papers can get a little difficult because she can be a tough grader but overall the class is pretty easy.

I took Professor Sikes for an online Summer course that was 4 weeks long and it was good and steady. She doesn't ask for too much and is an easy grader. She posts announcements to remind you about assignments and she responds quickly to emails. I highly recommend that you take her if you are better self paced.

All of the work is already on canvas which gives you the option to work ahead. She leaves feedback on the rough drafts of major assignments so you can correct them which I found helpful. She excepts late work without penalty but I'd recommend turning the rough drafts in on time so you can make corrections. Overall this was a pretty chill class.

She gives really good feedback. When a student is presenting his/her paper she demands respect/quiet from the other students. This is important as some of us are nervous about presenting in front of a group as it is.

Very easy class. Professor Sikes is very kind and extravagant, loves when the class participates. No textbook, read & respond to poems/short stories/movies. 3 major essays, READ her feedback for a guaranteed A+ on them. I did a blended course but wish it was 100% online. Ended w/ class movie presentation review. I recommend taking Professor Sikes.

All course materials were posted before the class started, with the option of working ahead available. Alongside this, no tests or quizzes were given, making it easier to focus on the actual material. Also, stuff was allowed to be turned in late with no points taken off. Overall, it was a fantastic course; I'm glad I could take it.

Dr. Sikes is an extremely intelligent professor in her field. I enjoyed having her in the fall of 2021. Her grading criteria is clear, and she accepts late work without penalty. My class only met once a week. Overall, I would highly recommend her.

I took this class as a junior in high school for dual credit and it was slightly harder than my sophomore english class at a private college prep school. She responds to emails, grades very graciously, and gives very little work. As long as you do what is required, respect her in class, and turn in your work on time, you will make an A.

This class was fantastic. I was afraid it was going to be too hard, but this class was so easy. Prof Sikes understands not everyone is an English major, so she grades generously. She does not use Turnitin on assignments, only on the final project. the final is a choice project to make an A in the class. also no late penalty. just take prof sikes!

Most of the material covered in class is found in Canvas. The content is very useful and informative. Prof. Sikes cares about her students and is understanding and accessible outside of the classroom. She does not deduct points for late assignments which eases the pressure especially when life happens. I would definitely recommend her class (:

I thought Dr. Debra Sikes was a lovely teacher. Even though I had her for one semester, I learned many useful lessons I can apply to my daily life. The work given was manageable and mostly online. She was forgiving and gave many late extensions, which I really appreciated. Overall, I would refer this professor to a friend.

Mrs. Sikes course is super easy if that's what you're looking for. We had 3 essays (each over a movie), and other short writing assignments. To be honest, you don't really learn much about english or composition in this class. However, I really enjoyed this class and the conversations we had in class about the movies and the poems

This professor is really nice and her class was

She is by far the best english teacher. Her class is super easy, she cares, and her goal is to teach you something that matters to you, and will help in the real world. There are ~3 essays but they're very straight forward and are over movies & current topics. If i could take her class again and again i would. you won't regret taking her class.

Prof. Sikes is a fair grader who gives helpful feedback. While her lectures can be boring, the class is manageable. No due dates, but she's nitpicky on essays. unstuck ai was great for preparing for her tests.

Loved professor Sikes! Being a full-time student and working, she helped so much. She accepts late work with no penalty. Which was super helpful, she understands life happens and we can't always submit on time. Her work load is super easy and she opens all the modules so you can work ahead! Take her!

Really easy course. She is not a tough grader, as long as you put in the effort you will pass. Would take her again!

Most of the material was provided on Canvas. It was mostly reading articles, writing, and discussion boards, but it was not difficult. She allows extra time to turn in work and wants everyone to do well and pass her class. Overall, she is a great professor.

The professor made every effort to make sure everyone in the class could submit their assignments on time. She was very informative and willing to work with you. Dr. Sikes is one of those professors who cares about what she does and is passionate about the success of her students. I would take her class again if I could.

Dr. Sikes was an amazing professor! She super laid back and most of her assignments are mainly about what you think about poem/short stories or movies. Highly recommend!!

She has been a professor for a very long time, and it shows in her teachings and how she relates with the class. The way that she structures all of her work is very easy and she goes over everything in class so it's a very minimal work to do at home. 10/10

Professor Sikes is a great instructor. While she is clearly against electronics/social media in general, she really cares and hopes you do well in class. She accepts all late works without penalty except drafts and presentations and she grades assignments leniently. She also gives extra credits too. I'd take her again for Comp 2 if she offered one.

I appreciate Dr. Sikes. She allows you to turn in work late without penalty. This is beneficial if you have a different professor who is difficult. She also gives great feedback. I highly recommend!!

Dr. Sikes is an excellent professor who provides valuable feedback that helps students improve their writing skills. She also accepts late assignments, which can be very helpful during short-term semesters.

Profesor sikes made summer so manageable she is emphatic and cares about her students and assignments being turned it. She accepts late work which is such a underrated blessing. I can't say enough good things about her don't think TWICE TAKE HER. For a summer coarse the workload was very manageable. Thank you professor Sikes.

Dr. Sikes is very supportive and encouraging. I had a rough start, but her reminders helped me turn things around. The readings were great, The Art of War especially stood out. She genuinely cares and gives you the chance to succeed if you put in the effort.

I loved being apart of this class. We just had to write a few papers and do a few summaries of Ted Talks and other videos. She reads your paper thoroughly and gives you specific feedback for the whole thing. I also loved that she understood that many students do have other things outside of class and was very lenient.

I entered her class feeling nervous after failing English in high school, but her focus on college success and mental health made it a welcoming space. She accepts late work with no penalty and occasionally finished class early. By the end of the semester, I felt extremely confident in my writing and learned far more than in my other courses.
