She's awesome. She is young and understands what college students go through. She is helpful, answers her emails right away and actually teaches how to master a college paper. An added bonus is she is very easy on the eyes. I hope she teaches more classes!!!!!!
Amazing, incredible, super, awesome, accessible, intelligent, attractive, brilliant, relatable, clever, astonishing, impressive and magnificent. I would use all or some of the words I just used to describe myself to describe professor Sciortino as well.
Professor Dina Sciortino made this 10week English course enjoyable. She was very helpful, and very attentative. If you want to get thru English 101 without pulling your hair out, choose Professor Sciortino as your instructor. :)
Great teacher, made everything easy to understand, was very helpful, easy to get ahold of when you have a question. Would love to take another course with her anytime, too bad she's not teaching other classes.
I have her rite now. This is weird to say about a prof but I luv her!! She is super young and is good at what she does. A legit good professor. There are about 5 essays but she helps you out a lot in the lab. Attendance is sorta mandatory since she has inclass assignments and thats a percentage of your final grade. TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very happy with this class. . .Taught me a lot about writing and helped me become a great writer compared to when i could barley write a paragraph. Lol
She is very professional and knowledgesble and makes class fun and interesting. She makes you want to come to class as she simplifies and clarifies any difficulties you might have. She is super cool and everybody feels comfortable around her so participation and willingness to learn is high. U gotta have her!!!
I am in class right now and sad that it is ending. Professor Sciortino, is a great professor, easy to work with, clear teaching methods and most of all made the 10 weeks course easy.
This class was the best! not only do i love english but i looooved my professor she is so cool. i made her LOL :D yay
She knows her stuff and makes this class painless. She has a good personality so you won't be bored and like someone else noted, very easy on the eyes.
She is a excellent teacher, no B.S, keeps class entertaining, makes you want to learn. She will make you get a 100! She is a real stickler on not giving 100's, but at the end of the semester I finally got one, her first! I would really recommend taking her class at all costs, she will really make your class more worth your time. She is the best!!!!
Very clear with what she wants and very good at showing what you need help with and providing it.
great professor, very positive and she makes learning fun. I will definitely try to request her for eng 102
Very Good Professor and very helpful. Will help you any way possible.
It was a pleasure taking this class making new friends, and learning that the professor and I have some interest in common. Hope she goes into ENG 102. Cause I'll see her there.
Professor Sciortino is the best professor I've ever had at Mercer. I've taken English multiple times but struggled to pass. Professor Sciortino made English tolerable. She's a wonderful person and although she doesn't hand out 100's she's a good grader.
She is an awesome professor. The essay topics and readings are relevant (no highbrow BS), the instruction is interesting, and she is always there to help you. You will have to work for an A, but she doesn't put too much on your plate. If you put the work in you can definitely get an A. I can honestly say I learned a lot in this class.
BEST ENG 101 EVER, if you don't take her then you are missing out. she made my life so much easier and she really helps you. TRUST! if you need help, she is easy to talk to and she is great help. She is silly and funny.& just an amazing teacher, you will regret it if you don't TAKE HER SHE IS THE BOMB DOT COM.
She was a great teacher from the beginning! You definitely need to write at least 4 page papers but it wasn't bad. She picked interesting topics to write about. Overall it was a good class to take to start out in college, you're missing out.
Dina is the best. I was ecstatic when I found out she was going to be my professor (she was my 8th grade reading teacher). She's always there for her students to make sure they write the best paper they can, that is if you go and ask her for help. She's hilarious and laid-back. Got all A's on her papers. Her classes were amazing. I def recommend.
Hands down, one of the best professors I've had. She's incredibly helpful and always makes sure everyone is on the same page. Since I've taken her class my writing has improved tremendously thanks to her help. She really gets you prepared for ENG102 while also making class fun and assigning interesting topics. I would definitely recommend her.
she 's an amazing professor. I highly recommend that you take her class
great class
This teacher should be bumped to Eng 102 just so I can take her again! Amazingly clear with directions, and very on top of things! I enjoyed the class and would take it again!
There's no tests only essays. She is very nice.
Professor Sciortino is an awesome instructor. She gives plenty of time during lab to work on essays and is there to help if you need it. When she gives back essays she explains to you what you did well and what you need to do better to get a better grade next time. Her class is easy if you do all the work and don't fall behind. Wish she taught 102!
She is very lenient and understandable when you aren't able to make class certain days. Keeps the class on task and gives the class some enjoyment instead of boring lectures.
Professor Sciotino was great to have. She helped with all the essays and gave opportunities to re-submit all essays. Wish she was teaching Eng102
fun class and cool teacher
Dina was amazing! She is an easy grader, but knows how to better you in succeeding. She is big on being in class, so try not to miss many! I wish she could teach English 102, defiantly would take this class again!
Amazing teacher, really helpful, hot and helps you with essays
She's amazing. She answers emails within minutes which is so huge! She's young and has great style but more importantly teaches well and gives great feedback. She needs to teach eng102 and I bet our entire class would take her again. Hands down.
Professor Sciortino is a very helpful and understanding teacher and I would gladly have her as my English 102 professor
Love her!
Prof scortino is great. She's really really big on attendance but her class isn't boring (good personality) and you'll learn a lot. She will help you with whatever you need. Glad I had her.
she is an amazing professor. I loved having class with her and she helped my writing by 110% I wish she was the ENG102 professor because I wish I was able to have her again next semester.
Professor Sciortino is one of the best professors I have ever had. I really enjoyed her ENG101 class. She is very helpful and understanding. Her lectures are clear, informative, and entertaining. If you want to master writing and receive a high grad, Professor sciortino is a must.
Good, teacher very understanding.
Gives great feedback on papers and shows you the basics of how to craft a well-written essay. Very helpful and class discussions are never boring. Would recommend as a professor for upcoming courses.
She is a great professor, may be a little bit of a tough grader, but in reality it is all fair. She gives really great feedback and really helps you better your essays. She goes into detail at the beginning of the semester on how to accomplish some things and how she wants things done. If you pay attention, and do your readings, you will do well.
There were only a few papers for the semester. Each was based on the readings and what we discussed in class. She was very clear about what she wanted from us and if you follow her guidelines you will most likely get an A on your essays. She teaches some great writing techniques that will be useful in any other instance where you must write a paper
Dina is a very well trained professor and she is not too bad at grading also she is very in the now about things.
Great teacher! She really helped me master the basic writing and synthesizing skills i came in with and is always there to help. She is also a total babe and really nice to her students.
Great professor! Would definitely recommend her.
Very easy going. Very helpful. Brings across the topics very clear. Would definitely recommend taking this class with her.
Best English Teacher I have ever had! I tried two Eng101 classes before her and was very intimated by the cold and disinterested teachers. She is very nice and makes it an engaging and interesting class. I hope she teaches Eng102 someday :)
Best. Class. Discussions. Ever. She is very engaging and class is never boring. Very nice and very pretty. Entire class loves her.
Best professor ever!!! Stay on her good side and she will be your bestfriend. Class is exciting and interesting especially with all of the conversation going on. She makes class fun. It's easier getting out of bed in the morning knowing your going to her class. She is an easy grader but you have to show that your trying. Love her.. deff recommend
Very motivating and cooperative lecturer.
Professor Sciortino is an amazing professor. She really knows how to teach and it's not boring.
Prof. Sciortino is one of the professors who I'd fight for to have again. Her class is great because she explains topics well and we do a lot of group discussion which really helps the understanding of the topic. Definitely hope you get her.
As long as you keep up with your work and ask questions often, she will give you the best feedback and advice to succeed during the semester. One of the best professors I've has thus far in my collegiate career.
I love professor sciortino
Great teacher! Is very up to date with what is going on and can get emotional but inspirational
Love this class so much!!! BEST TEACHER EVVEERR! I highly recommend this professor. :D
She is a great professor! She is very aware and knows how to teach this class very well. Sometimes she can bunny-trail a bit and sometimes doesn't explain things as intricately as I like, but she always comes through. Totally recommend.
Dina is a great person and respects all students and their learning capacity. Looks good as well.
She's one of the best professors I've ever had. There is A LOT of reading and writing (5-6 essays) but she chooses interesting topics and the class discussions are great. She's smart and nice. Praying she teaches 102.
She does not care what happens as long as people get their work done on time. you could literally just sit around and do nothing like I am right now.
teacher is good with lessons, love the required passages for the essays. Would take her for 102
After taking professor Sciortino's class i have now found a new sense and love for writing mainly because she gives some of the best advice when it comes to writing a proper essay, thesis statement and even a proper conclusion that can give you a better advantage to succeed in English 101. Best advice I can give anyone is do not skip her class.
super easy to work with. she makes the whole class simplistic and easy
Professor Sciortino started the course with clear lectures to write an argumentative essay, which became exceedingly useful when writing the six essays given in the course. The fifth essay was a research essay in preparation for ENG102 a great way to prepare for next semester.
Professor Sciortino made English 101 not only easy, but fun and informative. She is up to date with current topics and generates an open enviroment for group discussions. Don't skip her class and try not to be late. 6 essays ... easy money
I took Professor Sciortino for ENG101 and ENG102, she was an incredible professor who gave amazing advice. ENG102 is much more laid back than ENG101, as we have a basic knowledge of how to write an essay. There are 3 textboooks to buy, but it is totally worth it. The research paper was broken down into sections over a one month period!
A REAL GEM
If you plan to attend Mercer County Community College you will most likely have to take English classes, and do yourself the biggest favor you can and get into Prof. Sciortino's class. Never before have i enjoyed a class/teacher this much in all my years of learning. Not only has she opened my eyes to how good of a writer i can be, but shes a dime.
A REAL REAL GEM
Professor Sciortino helped me become a better writer. She gives great feedback and cares about her students achievement. Overall, this professor was fantastic and I recommend taking a class with her.
This was most likely the best English class I have ever taken. I really enjoyed the theme because it is so relateable in most senses and the in class discussions really gave those students who may have been struggling a chance to keep up and follow the curriculum.
I had Prof. Sciortino for ENG 101 and I was so elated when I knew I would have her again this semester. She is absolutely the sweetest prof. I have had so far at Mercer and I have to say that out of them all, she just has to be my favorite. She cares about her students and wants them to aim for the stars. I recommend her with all of my heart!
Prof. Sciortino is a really great professor. She made my very last semester of English very fun, yet reasonably challenging. Her feedback helped me to improve on my essay writing towards the end of the class. In-class discussions were always very fun and lively. She is definitely one of the better professors at my campus.
Hate her , does not like to help student. Like to insulate students if they dont do well or need help.
Had her for ENG101 and eng102. Both amazing classes. I learned how to write an argumentative essay in 101 and we had some awesome lectures in 102. She is very strict with attendance and being on time but other than that, she's fair and is a teacher you will never forget.
She is my favorite professor. Her class is one that I wake up for and look forward to. She is clear on what she wants to be done and she answers emails promptly. She is funny and always makes me feel welcomed when I walk in the room. She is inspirational and teaches really well. She is fair with homework and due dates. Don't skip though! Won't pass
Professor Sciortino is a really good english professor she really is helpful and wants you to do good in school. She really helped me do way better on my writing skills and i would definitely take her again!
she is a very great teacher to get for eng101
She makes you work hard for the grade you want. Tells hilarious stories. Keen on being on time, good lesson.
Best professor I have had so far. She is very caring for every student, and she has very interesting and useful lectures.
Definitely one of my favorite professors, she's strict with attendance but if you do whats asked of you its that hard. She's super funny and gives interesting topics to write about. Overall a really good professor.
She makes it easy to understand what you need to do.
great class, makes you work for your grade and breaks things down for you to understand.
She is very helpful. She will guide you on how to properly write an essay. Her grading is tough, but it's worth it because you learn something. Would take a class with her again
Professor Sciortino has laid out the rules to be successful in her class. She stays strict to her syllabus and makes you stay on time with all your tasks. Wonderful professor all in all.
Best English class I have taken!

Prof. Sciortino is one of the best professors at MCCC. She really cares about her students and gives good feedback on your essays. Def take her for ENG101, you will have a great time.
she aight.
She's a cool teacher that can be easy to get along with, and she does care about what you write about. I would 100% take her again.
An amazing teacher. Helped me become a better writer.
She is very well organized which makes class a lot less confusing. There is barely any notes which is always fantastic and she really prepares you for what you need to know. If you go to class and pay attention to what your supposed to be doing and reach out if you are having a problem then there is no reason you can not pass. You will learn!!
Offers advice, willing to help, adds comments for needs to be changed.
Shes mad chill and cool just dont skip too many classes because she will fail you.
Take her for every class she has :)
She is extremely understanding. Compared to my ENG 101 professor her class and her grading was super easy. She is a great professor and she makes sure you understand what is going on in class. She is funny, and she makes you feel very welcomed. Has to be one of the best professors I have had.
Essay topics are boring but overall a good class.
Had a good time.
Need the textbook, will annotate straight from it for most essays. Pretty easy essay topics, not too much homework . She is very organized and explains everything.
good class
She is a good professor. She makes things to go a lot smother. She is the kind of person that make feel good about yourself. Always happy but straight with everything. Honest and always available to help you. Always talking to her students in a nice way that make you feel comfortable at all time. I recommended to everyone that have these classes.
The teacher is very engaged with the students. Gives good examples to back whatever she is teaching and makes it clear what she wants in her essays and assignments.
You will love this class as long as you show up and give it your best effort. She is not a super tough grader, but you still receive the grade that you earn based on your work in the class. There are some extra credit opportunities if you need a boost in your grade a few times throughout the semester. I never loved writing, but I liked this class.
I had her for ENG 101 and chose her for ENG 102 because she is phenomenal!! I have never had a professor so dedicated to their job. She takes her time to make sure you understand everything, if it was not for her I still would not know how to write an essay. She also picks good topics for us to write about so your not bored with what you write.
I absolutely loved her! English class is english class but considering we wrote three five page papers and a ten page paper she made the class very enjoyable. Se's so kind, and so so so helpful. Always answered my questions and always willing to help. One of my favorite teacher / professors ever. I would highly recommend taking any of her classes.
If you have the opportunity to take her class you definitely should. She is definitely one of the best professors at mercer and she is really personable with her students.
Best grader ever. No Tests or quizzes, only 4 Essays. The class is easier than it's said to be. Best English Professor by far.
Great professor overall, she explains assignments clearly which is always a relief. Just show up on time and do your work on time and you will do well :)
Hands down the best professor at Mercer. She has the best personality and is hysterical. Shes strict w attendance but it doesnt matter because you will WANT to go to her class to listen to her. Shes a ten, a dime, the nicest person Ive ever met. She is so responsive and helpful. She wants you to do well and will make sure you working hard!
Best prof @ MCCC, no joke. Straight up crazy with punctuality and attendance but legit it doesnt matter because you will just want to go to her class to see her and hear what she has to say. Shes smart and I would have no idea how to write an essay if it wasnt for her. Professor Sciortino I fell in love with u! Thank u for being u.
Professor Sciortino is ICONIC. Do anything in your power to get in one of her classes. And if youre lucky enough, take her for ENG101 and then again for ENG102. Youre welcome.
Awesome teacher
Professor is funny and great. The course does come with a lot of writing and homework, but if you do them you will be fine.
Professor Sciortino is an amazing, upbeat, enthusiastic teacher. She explains everything really well and thoroughly. Take her class, you'll enjoy it.
Great teacher, she is very strict when it comes to attendance so make sure you show up. Always ready to help,.
she is very nice but very strict when it comes to how things go in her class rooms.
Best professor at mercer!!!!
Great professor. Class is four 3-4 page essays, one 5-6 essay, and a final reflection essay. Sciortino is strict on attendance but is very engaging with her students. She is always happy to answer any questions about your essays and will certainly guide you in the write direction. I am looking forward to hopefully having her again for English 102.
Professor Sciortino is a great professor. She is extremely nice and explains everything thoroughly. All of the essay assignments are based on interesting topics that will not bore you. Professor Sciortino is my favorite professor at MCCC, and I will definitely be taking her again for English 102!
Sometimes feels like the reading assigned is busy work, but everything she teaches will help you in english. Grading is fair. Home & attendance is mandatory. Definitely would rec taking class with her to pass english if you want to learn.
She is respectful, helpful, and she explains information thoroughly.
She is strict but understanding. Gives lots of homework but the homework is not hard.
Great at what she does. Is there for her students even the ones who do not care. Attendance is required and she will speak her mind.
Definitely makes you work for your grade but you significantly improve your writing!! You are only allowed 3 absences the whole semester so be wise with how you use them. 10/10 recommend Sciortino!
Amazing teacher. Makes sure youre comfortable and gives great advice on past essays. Although attendance matters when you show up its never boring. In essays youre encouraged to include your own options which is great. Great professor! You should take her!
A very down to earth professor. Very relatable and does not ask too much of you. She is very strict on attendance so you should make sure to attend every class. None of her assignments were crazy with its difficulty. As long as you try you are sure to pass. She is also very accessible outside of class whether it be office hours or e-mails.
I enjoyed the class, as well as learned more about writing in this semester then ever before. I appreciate how Professor Sciortino took the time for each student and made sure I stayed on top of my assignments. Great choice
Smart, pretty, funny, nice and actually knows how to teach. What more do you want? I learned more this semester from Professor Sciortino than I learned in 13 years of public schools in Hamilton. Shes a great time. Take her for 101&102 and you wont be sorry.
She is an amazing professor and will grade you based on the material you write. She is not a hard grader and gives useful feedback. One of the best professors at Mercer, along with Kimberly A (psych 101 prof). You won't regret taking her and make sure you do the discussions and reply to ur classmates!
Great teacher! - Jason C
Great teacher! Would take again! - Jason C
Professor Sciortino is the best English teacher/professor I have ever had. My only regret is that I did not take her for ENG101. She is extremely caring and understanding. Her class isn't boring unlike others, she engages with the class. Turn everything in on time, do discussions, and ask questions!! 10/10 I would take her class again:)
She is a very good professor, gives good feedbacks, and rarely gives 100s.
A very nice professor! She made me actually like this course and now I don't mind writing essays. I would definitely take her again!
Professor Sciortino is an excellent professor. The first professor to make me enjoy an english class! I had her for both English 101 and English 102 and I enjoy her class very much! She gives good assignments and teaches well.
Professor Sciortino is a great professor! Her class is not boring, and I wish I took her class for 101. I would recommend taking her classes if you have the chance. She also had a great fashion.
Professor Sciortino is a really good professor. While the class involves a lot of reading, the class is never too difficult and the homework and essays always have clear instructions and reasonable due dates.
I 100% recommend taking her classes; she took my writing level from a 1 to 10.
Amazing english professor compared to my last one. Sciortino gives great feedback and wants all of her students to succeed. She is hilarious and her classes are never boring!!
Professor Sciortino is a great professor, she is caring and understanding and her class isn't boring.
Professor Sciortino is Mercer GOLD. I have no doubt she has impacted every student she has taught. Other teachers told me college wasn't for me. Professor Sciortino sat with me as I cried to her,looked me in the eye and said I can do anything I put my mind to. She gave me the confidence and skills to be successful and I am forever grateful to her.
Professor Sciortino is amazing! She gives very clear instructions on what to write for your essay's and gives great feedback after your essay is graded. She will talk to you 1 on 1 if you have any questions, and she is also just amazing to talk to about anything else. She makes the class fun and very simple. There are no tests, only about 5 essays.
Great professor! Always grades fairly and gives the grading outline to the students. Very good at teaching and gives great feedback to help in future writing.
she is such a sweet person and an even better professor. I actually really like going to her class, she makes it exciting. She is very clear on what she wants from us, so there's no confusion. She helps in anyway she can. and she's also pretty funny.
Professor Sciortino is very sweet, she will work with you and help you if you ask her just make sure to get your work done on time. I would 100% recommend taking this class with her lecture is made very interesting and she breaks assignments down so that it is easier for students to comprehend the material being given.
Professor Sciortino is one of the best that MCCC has to offer. She breaks down all her essays piece by piece to make the final draft simple to complete. Show up on time and do the work, that is all she asks of you. A great teacher of not only English but college and life as well. Do not miss out on a chance to take one of her classes.
Amazing Professor! I will definitely be taking her for ENG102!
Professor Sciortino is an amazing professor! She is a tough grader but her feedback and helpful and applicable to other classes. I really enjoyed her course and am taking her for ENG102!
I LOVE HER!!! The best professor I have here at MCCC. She cares about her student's well-being and has a young soul. She is also hilarious and actually teaches you the stuff you need to know about college-level reading and writing. Would definitely take her again!! I am a Sciortino fan forever
She's a really good professor. Gives clear due dates and makes parts of the essays due at different times so it prompts you to work on it consistently. She's kind and willing to give an extension if you need it as long as you ask ahead of time. I highly recommend her.
Although she can be a tough grader, she pushes her students to do well. She cares about her students and is understanding as she is willing to give extra time to complete assignments to students who are having a difficult time with her class. She is funny and makes her class very entertaining. Definitely recommend this professor!
A kind and considerate professor, Professor Sciortino cares deeply about her students. When I had writing problems, she responded to my emails and constantly inspired me to put in more effort. If you know how to manage your time well, I suggest taking her class, you will not find another Professor like her.
Awesome Professor, Make sure to hand your homework in on time and you will be good. Do not wait until the last minute to hand in papers and spread it out. She will help you and answer any questions you have and is honest and does not sugar coat anything. I would take her class again.
This is my favorite Professor I ever had at Mecer!! I always looked forward going to her class even if it was a 9am class. She really gets to know you as a person and teaches you a lot of knowledge you can carry on with you. I wish I could have her as a Professor again, I'll never forget about her!!:)
Professor Sciortino is an AMAZING professor. She is definitely the best professor Mercer has to offer. She gives an extremely fair amount of time for each essay, is fair when grading, and there are no quizzes or reading checks, JUST the essays and a couple of discussion boards. She is extremely nice and you are able to talk to her about anything :)
Loved this class! She is very caring and cares about her students. She does one-on-one sessions with each students to check on how everyone is doing. She gives plenty of time on each essay and discussion boards. If you cannot make it into class and email her about it she is very understanding. Definitely recommend taking it!
Definitely recommend taking this class! She is very understanding if you cannot make it to class or you are unable to submit something on time. She does one-on-one sessions with each student to make sure you are doing okay with your essay. She gives a reasonable work load. You have to put in the work to pass but it is a fairly easy workload.
I had Professor Sciortino for English 101 and English 102 she has been amazing and my writing has improved dramatically. Definitely take her if you can. This class makes English amazing and is not stressful; the work is broken down, she grades tough but fairly, and gives great feedback.
she is such an amazing person to be around and an even better teacher. she is always so open to helping with whatever you need for school or even personal. She pushed us to our full potential cause she believes in us. She is so organized which makes everything easier. She is easily the best professor in a core class that I have had.
Professor Sciortino was an amazing professor and by far my favorite one I've had. She's very easy going and cares for you to do your best but she will be strict if she has to. Gives more than enough time on essays and assignments which are not the hardest thing in the world as long as you are paying attention. I highly recommend choosing her class.
Professor Sciortino is amazing at what she does. She will work with you one on one if you are having trouble with something and gives good feedback on your papers. Not to mention she keeps it real and is very fun and gets the class going, also she spaces out the papers to make it less stressful for everyone which helps if you have a lot of classes.
Simply the best! Professor Sciortino provides a relaxed classroom environment; she allows ample time to write essays and is always willing to help. If you take another English professor at Mercer, you are not too bright. Do yourself a favor and take her for 101 and 102. You will not regret it!
You honestly could not ask for a better professor. I mean, she has to be my most favorite professor alive. Her class is relatively easy; you have to do the work, and you will be fine. She goes over your essays step by step with everyone individually, which was terrific and super beneficial. She knew when to have fun but also when to be serious.
She is good
One of my favorite educators, if not my favorite I've had in so far. Each assignment builds off of each other, and no assignment feels useless. Everything is also broken down very well, making essays very easy to write, along with the amount of time given per essay. Grades are also fair, and feel very rewarding.
The best professor for English 101! 10/10! Each assignment builds off of each other, and no assignment is unnecessary. In order to pass the class you must put in the work, & turn everything in on time.
I am taking Dr. Sciortino for CSW100. She is the BEST! Totally down to earth, super nice and is fun. I was dreading this 1 credit mandatory class, but she has made it painless. I never mind going to her class and actually look forward to it. I am hoping to take her English classes next semester.
She is a cool Professor to have.
Professor is very understanding, and paces the class very well.
Awesome
A pretty cool teacher who isn't stressful
Amazing teacher you should take every class
She was a very nice teacher, very down to earth with a great sense of humor. The workload was not much and she did a great job walking us through everything. Very easy to ask questions to.
Very caring professor and helps study get prepared for daily life such as college. This was one of the best and easiest classes I had with no little work and homework I had to do.
Awesome teacher I would take multiple classes with her. She's the best
Dr.Sciortino is the best English Professor you will ever find. She is super accessible in and out of the classroom, a fair grader, provides great feedback,never fails to provide support and help when needed. She's really good at breaking down assignments so you don't feel overwhelmed. She constantly shows that she truly cares about her students.
I would most definitely take her class again if l could. She is very kind, funny and understanding. She cares about all her students and gives good grades and feedback. Thank you for being the best english teacher.
"I absolutely loved Professor Dina Sciortino's ENG 102 class. Her passion for literature is truly inspiring, and her deep knowledge of the subject shines through in every lecture. She creates a supportive and engaging learning environment, encouraging thoughtful discussions and providing valuable feedback on assignments."
Professor Sciortino was amazing!!! I took her Eng101 and 102 classes and both were great. Lots of essays to write in 101, but she makes it easy to learn how to write a proper essay. I will definitely miss having her as a professor. Take her class!!!!!!
Dr. Sciortino is the best professor for ENG 101 and 102! She's initially strict, but not scary. Be prepared for strict attendance policy, discussion boards, and essay deadlines. But it's worth taking her class!
She is a great teacher and very understanding. Homework is usually due each class but it is very fair and almost all of it is towards your essays. Easy A if you do the work and show up to class. Favorite professor at mercer!!
The professor is super helpful and makes the class engaging. Definitely use resources like unstuck ai and the free textbook to stay on top of things - the workload is manageable if you keep up. An easy A if you put in the effort.
Great teacher, just down right good.
This professor truly revived my love for English and writing. She is clearly a passionate teacher and gives good feedback. I learned a lot from her. I appreciate the strictness because it kept me accountable. Her rules and expectations aided me in getting better at time management. I am taking her again next semester and could not be more excited!
Great class, very helpful with questions and always communicative about deadlines and due dates. Gives ample time to complete assignments. She was also just very friendly and easy to talk to. This class has helped me learn how to write better overall and I'll be taking what I learned here and applying it to the rest of college.
Dr. Sciortino is a great professor. She teaches you how to write essays and time management. I highly recommend her to any freshman to learn new skills. She is fair in grading and easy to talk to when you have questions. 10/10
She is funny, and we had a good time in her class. I remember when she called a student's paragraph mid and we started to laugh are heads off. She taught me how to write better essays than I did before.
She is very kind, and funny. As well has helpful with essays, and would help you a lot when you would ask for it. Taking her class was fun and enjoyable, I would recommend it and defiantly take it again!
Work hard and get good grades! you may have to write a few papers and be on time in class. however, you will receive great feedback and easy to communicate with.
The professor is a banger and, I know bangers.
Very easy teacher, not a lot of homework. Course is very easy if you simply follow instructions. Don't be late
I took children's lit with Dr. Sciortino and had the best time. She is very engaging and knows how to motivate the class. She is smart and passionate and I would love to take more of her classes! I learned so so much. 10/10 recommend this professor!
I'm gonna be honest I learned nothing in high school. Nothing. Dr. S taught my how to write a paragraph, a thesis and eventually a 7 page essay. Couldn't believe I could do that. She is a magician. I worship the ground she walks on. Take her!
Dr. Sciortino treats us like people, not just 18 year old college students. I'll never forget the way she made me feel. Always positive and uplifting. She's one of those professors that leaves a mark and you'll never forget.
Probably one of if not the best professors I have had this semester. Very sweet, very caring, and very down to earth. She cares about the students and will NOT let you fail.
Just put in effort and show up and it will be easy
Wonderfully nice professor and kind hearted
Lowkey fire twin I ain't even take the class I just showed up sometimes
so fire very 10/10 professor, if you have her you will be locked in not geeked. class is like prime Fortnite
Dr. Sciortino is a great professor. She's very interactive; she helps with questions. She can be strict at times, but most of the time it's not without a reason. I would be wary that there are weekly discussion posts; while they can be stressful, I found them beneficial, as they go along with the essay and allow you to keep up with the work.
Ngl the Big Doc Sciortino is the best English teacher I ever had. She really teaches and the only way you'll fail if you don't do any work. She type chill fr and she cool ppls ts.
