Don't take her. She is so mean. I did really good all my tests but she still gave me a C. She just love to teach guys

she is so beach that not give fair grade even if you work hard I'm tell you dont west you time she will suck you up I don't recommedent her better watch out before you lip

If you want to learn French, do not take her class. You will never get an A in this class, and if you another class apart from this one, your grade will be a C or lower. She leaves a ridiculous amount of homework and goes through chapters way to fast. By the time you leave the class you will not be able to speak french.

Horrible teacher. Always making up excuses and makes it impossible to pass her class unless you are a teachers pet. Will not recommend her at all if you want to pass English.

Really bad class didn't learn anything at all! poor teaching really even if you pass your portfolio nd final

Don't take this class. You learn nothing and she is very unorganized with your papers and she's usually late.

Do not take her! she does not explain anything from the textbook, she let the time running without explaining about the class you have to learn by you own if you ask her a question for something she does not explain it to you instead she let other students answer that question for you. she gave a lot of homework and she did not explain it at all.

Terrible professor. Worst in my life. Does not explain anything. If you are looking for esl40 professors, NEVER get her.

Bad professor. We read the Great Gatsby (a high school read) and receive homework on comma use?!?!? She gives pop quizzes and even if your sick she will give zeros if you didn't know there was a quiz and miss it. very unfair grader on everything. No extra Credit. Wish I didn't take her

VERY unfriendly. Clarity? zero. Tough grader . If you want to actually pass this course and maybe enjoy it as well, definitely wouldn't recommend her.

Wouldn't recommended her. NOT helpful, unfriendly and doesn't really seem motivated to teach. Always grumpy or moody. Made English my worst class

Makes you think you're in elementary school again. Has zero skill communication with students. Seems like she hates being there giving a class. Never sent email or let the students know she was going to miss class, and so we all went to class 8am and we all had to go back home. Never take her class!!!

One of the worst professors known to man! I'd advise not taking her at all! She grades tough, but teaches at a high school level rather than college. Disrtibutes tedious assignments that don't make sense. Seems to have a social issue and doesn't comminicate well with students. Unfair grader and not willing to work with you on any level.

Think twice before taking this professor!!! Her grading doesn't make sense. If you ask for help she makes you feel like you're not smart at all. The lectures are super boring, and she's not nice or friendly! The class started with 30+ students and at the end there was only 7! That says a lot of not only the class, but the professor.

An impossible grader. You'll have the worst time. This teacher is only here for a paycheck. She does not care about her students. "I don't make the rules, I just enforce them." It doesn't matter if all her students fail the class to her because she just wants the money. You will learn NOTHING from this class. She tells you you're wrong but not why!

the worse teacher ever. she doesn't know what shes doing brings usefulness assignments. This teacher she just want the money i dont know why they let her teach at this school... Dont take her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terrible, has no idea how to teach

I wanted to be hopeful that it would get better, but it never did with her. Professor Duchow is rude and unhelpful, to say the least. Passive aggressive and does not give respectful or constructive criticism. Shes belittling. She seems to pick favorites and if she doesnt like you, it shows. She claims to want to helps students, thats laughable.

I took English 205 with her and I can genuinely say DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER. Find another professor. For our final project she asked us to plan, arrange and execute a community project event along with write a paper on it and do a video presentation. Bear in mind I was taking English 205 ONLINE. She gives A LOT of homework on top of it.

Hides assignments in the syllabus when there is a monthly calendar where the rest of the assignments are or are not. I don't know, I was dropped.

Very unhappy with the professor. Not enough time is given to prepare the many papers given. Extreme amount of homework, discussions, and classwork. Hard grades with little to no feed back or suggestions. This is entry-level English and is treated like an up-division course.

The class isn't all that hard, you just need to know what to expect. You have about 4 essays throughout this course including the final. Also note that she will not give you any time in class to do your essay and she still assigns homework. You also have about week to complete your essay, note she locks her assignments.

Overall and easy class but she is very rude. Sometimes grading would be confusing and when asked, she would respond in a condescending tone. Homework assigned last minute and due before class. Pros: Is flexible with deadlines, just ask nicely. Participation gets her in a good mood.

Just terrible. Never tells you why you're wrong and gives a snarky response and leaves you with awkward silence. She assigns essays and a ton of homework in class which are due the night of. God awful. Highly regret taking this class because I didn't learn a thing besides MLA format which I learned in the 6th grade.

she's so hard to reason with and tough grader. gives homework that is graded and given back after 4 weeks that it's due and always talks in a condescending tone.

she often waits 2 weeks before grading your assignments, so by the time you get feedback on your work, you've already repeated the same mistakes on other submitted work.

Run FAR AWAY. This woman is condescending, rude, self-absorbed, operating with a bloated sense of self-worth, takes (literally) months to grade things, so you've already submitted multiple "wrong" things by the time she gets around to telling you, and is overall a thoroughly unpleasant person in literally every way.

The online English 205 course fell short of my expectations. The teacher's poor communication and lack of feedback created a negative experience. I was dropped on the first day, and although she invited me back, I had to constantly ask for assistance. If I could, I would rate it lower than "1 - Awful."

I've never had a tougher grader as a professor. Even if she didn't agree with the way you phrased something, you'll get points marked off. It's a ton of work for sure, be ready to dedicate several hours a week to be ready. She is good at communication and offers zoom sessions.

Inconsistent grading. Doesn't always follow the rubric and sometimes takes off points for the smallest errors. Many assignments revolve around sharing personal and political beliefs/opinions. Didn't really learn much, especially since she basically gives zero feedback on the essays and assignments. The reading material was good though.

very nitpicky on grading and will mark you down on very small things.

Not clear about assignment due dates/requirements, then marks down a lot of points for small things which weren't clear in the instructions. Not understanding about out of class/life situations: if you have an appointment or emergency she doesn't care and will penalize you for it despite how out of your control it may be. slow grader.

She will assign things outside of class. For example, our class meets on Mondays and Wednesdays, and she regularly assigns homework or quizzes on Fridays or Saturdays with the expectation that they will be completed before class on Monday. Don't fall behind. You'll never catch up. Better yet, don't take this class from this prof. She's truly awful.

My only advice is to not take this class if you are currently working. I took this class plus 3 other classes while having a part time job and I was able to catch up on every class besides this one. Too much homework and unforgiving deadlines.

Drop it. It is not a hard class, she is difficult. There are in-class assignments every class, with a partner, alone, or both. She will forget what she assigned you and grade you poorly and late w/ no critique or rubric. A meaningless final project that will take up majority of your time. Also keep tabs on canvas as she assigns things at random.

She was not a good teacher. She was rude and is not good at responding to emails. There was a lot of reading. She was a really tough grader and took a lot of points off for small things. Would not recommend her at all.

oh my god!!!! the worst. her canvas is specifically set up for you too have to sit there for ages just to complete anything, she has all these weird side quest things. like the quizzes all have access codes that you have to locate in the module. she's awful and it's obvious she makes it hard on purpose

Genuinely horrible. You miss one day of class and your grade has gone down heavily. She literally makes you do a whole community service project. I decided today to write this because of how utterly annoyed I am that she can't take the time to just explain things, even in class she sounds like she doesn't care. Absolute BS.

Would not take her class, not recommended. Not good with responding asynchronous and honestly kind of rude. If you do happen to take the class, don't waste your money on the online book and just buy the physical copy. I learned the hard way that they are different page numbers and that she wont help you in any way if you get the online version.

I'm writing this because at this point I am fed up with her class. Missing one assignment can cause your grade to drastically drop or barely rise. Very picky about grading and not clear as to what the issue is. Canvas setup is an extra hassle to find assignments. Bussy work makes it difficult to balance school and work. Rude and careless.

Dropped this class after getting frustrated so many times, and my situation never got better. The professor is rude, and will not see herself as the one in the wrong, as assigns so much busy work not to mention the community service project that's due at the end of the semester for some reason. If you have a job or any outside responsibility AVOID

She does not care. Period.

Esta señora le vale si queres aprender. utiliza contexto de conflicto en su curriculo como pretexto de que no es racista. Los mas blancos de ojos azules pasan. los meztizos batallan y los chinos fracazan.

Selective grader. At times it feels like she is trying to be intentionally obtuse. She can also be rude for seemingly no reason at all. You spend all semester fighting to maintain an A. No assignment benefits your grade, but any minor mess up will bring you down. Buy the physical textbook. Other reviews are correct.
