Very good teacher, would take another course with her again.
Very strict, but easy class, don't get caught chewing gum !
Easy to listen to. You cant chew gum, have any drinks or food and you cant wear hats.
I absolutly hated her. She treated us like we were still in high school. Rambles on and on about Aristotle for an hour and a half. Gives stupid assignments. Do yourself a favor and get another professor
Very good teacher. Helped me to get where I am today in the English Field I absolutely loved her. No gum chewing or hats but that didnt bother me since I didn't like either.
Very easy class. Just take your notes and don't try to be a smart ass. If you do what she says, when she says it you will definetly get an A!
great teacher, she knows her stuff and explains what she wants in her papers and if u follow it you will pass with an A. If i could I would take another class with her.
WORST TEACHER EVAR!!! she just treated us like we don't speak english. if you take her, tap your pencil or fingers on your desk, she will flip out. answer your phone in class, do whatever, she was an idiot. waste of money. it was great for naps though.
even though i got a ''B'' i dont recommend her for the reason that you really have to work your behind off by putting in the time and effort. there were weeks i had to put in like 10 hours of work outside of her class. at the end i got a very high 'B' and she didnt round me up to an 'A'
UGH! most annoying teacher ever!! I dread going to her class! She treats us like we are in preschool-oh and no gum, drinks, hats, or food! She makes comments to us like "Did you take dumb pills before class?" ect
Very strict, rude to students, and makes you feel very stupid at times, i have a B overall but you have to work for it!
evil.
this class is so easy! i mean all you have to do is come up with some idea for your paper, take it to her and i'm not kidding but she will write the whole paper for you! she'll make every little change and add stuff so that when you go home all you do is rewrite what she wrote! take her class!easy A
My worst class is english. Im a slacker on top of that, but this teacher was very helpful. Long as you wrote your papers you would get a good grade. I turned in almost all of my papers in late, but I still got a good grade. Take this professor. Check my grammer its bad and I got a C in the class
hard but she know her stuff
class is easy. she will help you if you ask. but she also can be rude and make you feel stupid. overall easy though
I don't like english as it is and after i had her I hope Inever have to take an englsh class again. VERY critical. She judges you from the first day you come in... if she likes you you will get a good grade. She is VERY rude. All criticism is NEGITIVE. I recieved a B in the class... but it wasnt worth the harassment i went through each day of class
she seems very nice and helpful

SHE TREATS YOU LIKE YOU ARE IN JUNIOR HIGH....boys cannot even wear hats...and just try to get up in the middle of class to go to the bathroom! Not to mention her obsession with Aristotle....Easy class but HORRIBLE teacher.....look at other options!
No Comments
cant chew gum, cant talk, cant go to bathroom with out her permission feels like i'm in highschool all over agin
she says no gum no food no drinks no hats no touching hair no going to the bathroom... terrible teacher
Excellent teacher. She does expect work to be done when she says. If you act like a responsible adult she treats you like one.
She is very strict, but she has to be. If you're not retarted, you'll be ok. She treats you like an adult if you act like one. She doesnt like disruptions or distractions, especially hats. She will help you and will almost write your paper for you. She grades VERY hard though. No b.s.ing your way through the class at all! Just try your hardest.
SHE IS NOT A GOOD TEACHER...TOO STRICT...TOO MANY FREAKIN RULES. I HAD TO DROP FOR TOO MANY ABSENCES B/C I HAD TO WORK EVEN THO I HAD A B+ SHE WAS GONNA FAIL ME. NOT BAD TEACHER IF YOU WANT 1191919 RULES. RUDE TOO HATES WHEN PPL ARE LATE OR SOMETHING. PERSONALLY I HATE HER
she was tough on me, and everyone else. i almost dropped her class because of all the rules but i'm glad i didnt because she is VERY fair. the only people who complain about her are the ones who BS in class and haven't grown up yet so they talked back. Take it seriously and you will get an A.
Any comments with smiley faces are false.You don't need to be mature,nice,"not retarted" because either way,she'll be terrible to you.She treats you like you are in highschool w/all of her silly rules strictly to feel some foolish control.Completely insults you & degrades you about anything you say.She even made men have tears in their eyes.Absolutley Terrible.
NO HATS!! NO GUM!! NO going to the bathroom without asking first. If you like being treated like your 5 years old, pick this teacher. She loves to pick on people and make you feel like an idiot in front of the class. All you do is grammer and papers that are basically nonsense. She loves busy work and she LOVES to hear herself talk...it's so boring
SUPER EASY TEACHER.....MUST SHOW UP FOR CLASS THOUGH! GREAT CLASS.....ONLY HAVE 6 PAPERS TO WRITE THE WHOLE SEMESTER(NOT LONG ONES EITHER). SHE IS VERY HELPFUL AND ALWAYS LETS U OUT EARLY! NO MIDTERM AND FINAL EXAM IS A 2 PG. EASY PAPER!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!
If you do the work and ask questions when you don't understand, you will be fine. You WILL learn to write in a professional manner.
Firm, but a great teacher. A bit strict, but she just wants whats best for her students. Attendence is mandatory, taken everyday at the second class starts. Like i said, she's very strict, but extremelly intelligent and very helpful. Well organized and runs a very smooth class.
Schouman was an awesome teacher! Very intellegent. Easy class! Just show up and you will be fine! 6 SHORT papers. No midterm or Final! Great class!
Good attendance is plus, she's always ready to help and advise. If you do your work, you will enjoy her class.
She was great! Very helpful and easy if you just listined when she spoke. It was my first college class after beauty school and i loved it.
your grade is based off of six papers (the first two are short, and the 6th is written in class). she's nice and knows a lot about writing papers. if you do bad on a paper, you can redo it and she'll give you full credit for the re-write
She's way old school on the rules and the HAND-WRITTEN in-class papers, but intelligent and helpful... will show you exactly how to write an A paper. I DESPISE english classes, but got an A in hers.
She's very helpful in the way that she guides you through the papers. A little old school but nice.
I really liked her and i never really did good in any of my English classes.She gives you everything you need, all you have to do is the work and you can pass.
Schouman was a pretty good professor. I respected her for her no non-sense approach, as there are many immature people out of high school in 1180. She was helpful and clear in her expectations. I would recommend her. I got an A- and I'm not the best english student.
I can understand why people don't like her, but overall I thought she was a very good teacher. She gives very good feedback regarding papers. If you show her your outline and idea, its almost impossible to get below a B in the class. She's very old-school but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
She is a VERY hard professor but she is honestly the BEST professor I've ever had! She is such a good teacher and she really helps you when grading your papers and gives you a chance to revise them for a better grade. Don't give her attitude cause I've seen her kick people out, but she really does know what she's doing! Would recommend to anyone!
Wonderful Professor! Her class is easy and she is very helpful, I'm horrible at English and I got an A. Don't act stupid, she doesn't deal with High School immaturity. Her assignments are clear and she helps each student individually in class. Definitely recommend her.
This Professor is very clear and understandable when teaching. Always be prepared, always attend alot, DO NOT be late. And again always be prepared for her class. She is very helpful and gives you another chance to re-write your paper. If you can't pass this class you are ridiculous because she is a great teacher. And you will learn alot.
she is the best english teacher
She is a great teacher, knows her stuff and extreme helpful.
Outstanding professor.Very helpful.Runs a tight ship.Doesn't put up with **** in class,GOOD! Because some of us want to learn.As for rules, you dummies out there that don't like'em, better get used to them because that's what work is about.As for the people who think she's obsessed with Aristotle, maybe you shouldn't be in college.
eXCELLENT PROFESSOR. VERY helpful. She knows what she wants. Assigments are easy. She almost write the papers for you. If you want an A in this class take her.
VERY helpful. She knows what she wants. Assigments are easy. She almost write the papers for you. If you want an A in this class take her.
great great teacher, she is knowledgeable and knows how to write a paper in a professional manner. I learned so much in this class. thank you, Ms. Schouman!
She is incapable of explaining simple concepts, and cannot admit fault when she is wrong. She corrects things in papers that require no correction. For example, the word I used means the SAME THING as the word she changed it to. I have yet to recieve a grade below an A, so keep in mind that although easy, she is incompetent at grading/explaining.
Ok so she is a nice teacher overall but takes forever explaining on subject. When grading grammar homework it took half of the class time. She talks to much when trying to explain how to write a paper.
do exactly whats she asks of you even if you think it wrong or silly and you will get an A. anyone who didnt get a good grade most likely acted like a fool in class so just do the work. It's six whole papers! NOT hard!
Really nice. Do what she says and you will pass. She basically writes your papers for you, so you do well. Easy quizzes. She claims there is 2 pop quizzes, but there is not. Grammer is not gradded, nor the notes. easy A for me =]
As long as you aren't lazy, you should have no problem getting an A in her class. She is very knowledgeable and really guides you on your essays. I'd take her again!

strict, but good at what she does because she actually cares.
BY FAR THE BEST TEACHER EVER! If you ask her for help she would most likely do it all for you, her attendance does count.... VERY BORING but BIGGEST BLOW OFF her quizzes are common sence grammar and her papers are by the far the easiest ever written! DEF. SUGGEST THIS TEACHER TO EVERYONE TAKING ENGLISH 1180
Class was very easy, but boring. she is very helpful, the quizes were common sense, and the essays are very easy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU ARE TAKING 1180!!
She is a very good teacher! Strict but good. Her quizzes are common sense and her papers are easy. If you are not a slacker you will do just fine in the class!
highly recommend! great help, awesome teacher, knows what she is talking about.
Best Professor ever! She is old school. She does expect you to follow her rules and be respectful. However, that's how it should be anyway.She is very helpful with writing essays. If you do what your supposed to do you will get a good grade. If your'e dispespectful and immature she can be mean.
Easy class, too easy. First day you write an in-class essay so she can tell you which class you SHOULD be in - I was told to go up a couple classes but couldn't due to scheduling. I was bored, but she's a decent teacher, certainly not one of the best english/lit teachers I'd ever had, but OK. I reccomend her if you're not that good in english class
Mrs. Schouman is the best teacher ever! She actually helps you learn so that you can do better in th future. Her quizzes are very easy as long as you do the grammar homework. Also, when you turn in your rough draft essay, she corrects it so that you receive an A on the final paper. I highly recommend her! She has a good heart and actually cares!
6-week Summer Comp 2 class. Show her respect and you will get it back. Sometimes boring. 4 papers to complete in little time. Major research paper minimum 3000 words when she says to start immediately, START! Lots of work! Show up to class, read the short stories before the class, do NOT procrastinate with the papers and you will be fine in comp 2!
very easy to get an A in. Just do the homework and and write the papers and you are getting an A no doubt.
Mrs. Schouman is a great teacher. If you are not good at English, she will give you the basics and walk you through step by step. If you pay attention and attend class it is super easy! She grades very fairly. I highly recommend her for English 1180.
EASIEST CLASS I'VE EVER TAKEN!!!!!!! if you need to bump up your grade definitely take one of her classes!!!!
She is a great English professor, more old school. This class is easy to get an A as long as you do what she wants. She helps you with every step of the way. I would recommend her to anyone.
the best professor, very helpful
She gives way to much pointless homework and then never goes over it. She is easy but is very rude. Within the first week she called out multiple students and made them sound like they were idiots. The class was very easy though.
Profesor Schouman is a great teacher !!!! She will put you on the spot if you act like you're in high school. Respect her and you will get it back. Overall she is awesome, Will def take a class with her again.
Take her, easy, essays are very vague but gives a lot of in class time to do work, checks all outlines, makes sure you know what do to get an A on the essay, OCD about phones being out. Grammar hw is easy
Good teacher, not so nice as a person. Her grading is hard, treats students like they're stupid when they don't know the answer to a question. Expects you to know what she's thinking. Papers are super easy and only like a page or two. We were behind schedule all semester and had 2 papers due on the last day. Would not recommend her .
She is a very easy grader and class is very easy, easy A-B range. She does call students out everyday and will make you feel dumb if you do not understand the subject and are not paying attention. Be prepared and show up to class and you will do fine.
I am pretty good when it comes to writing papers and just english in general and I was super confused for 75% of the class. Expect to do 6 papers and quizzes on grammar. There are 4-6 quizzes and 2 of them are pop quizzes. Always come prepared or she will call you out. My advice, find a different professor.
P. Shouman is the most amazing professor. She's so clear on what she expects from you. There are 6 essays due throughout the semester which are piece of cake. The quizzes are super easy as long as you do the grammar homework. Who ever says she's not good SHAME ON YOU because I was in ESL and I passed her class with an A. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!!!
She's the best professor ever! So helpful and there for you. Her class is A-B range and not a tough grader at all. She's fair with grading. You'll be good as long as you do what's expected. I highly recommend her if you want an easy A!!
Professor schouman is probably the easiest professor out there!! She walks you through your essays and she makes sure you have everything correct before you turn it in. Grammar homework is easy! She does call you to read your answers out, but she DOESN'T embarrass you!!!! Her class is so easy to get an A in and she's not a tough grader.
Spends a lot of time on essays to make sure you do good, easy grader, and very helpful. I would recommend prof Schouman if you want an easy A.
She's a tough person, but gives GREAT feedback. When we write our papers she proof reads everyones paper. She also goes over each paragraph and tells you what she wants in it. She give two planned grammar quizzes and two pop quizzes. I'm glad the i took her class bec she help me a lot. Come prepared and at least five minutes early. ALWAYS DO HW!
I took Mrs. Schouman for my first English class at Macomb Community College in Fall of 2014 and absolutely loved her class. She is a true teacher. If you do the work, participate and pay attention in class and are respectful there is no reason you shouldn't get an A. The homework is relatively easy as it is simply a few pages of grammar work.
Schouman showed up either right on the dot or late to class; she was never early. She took weeks to get grades back to you and questioned the students when we said we had not received grades back. Her lectures are dry; however, she is very clear. A little hard of hearing so sometimes it can be difficult to answer questions. DON'T go on your phone.
Schouman is the rudest professor i have ever encountered. She talks down to her students and makes them feel stupid. Her comments are degrading and she has a ridiculous course load for a summer class. 3 papers, a 10 page research paper-which is basically a glorified book report, a novel to read (along with other readings and assignments.)
Professor Schouman is an overall nice person, but I feel that she doesn't know how to accept student opinions that are different from hers. She is a tough grader and you will do quite a bit of reading and writing of papers in this class. The summer course was intense with 3 papers, 1 research paper, a novel to read, and other assignments.
Honestly, her class is very easy. She's a very easy grader. there's no way you can fail her class. The only bad thing is that her class is very boring. She's a boring teacher, but overall she's very easy to take.
oh boy where do i start? She doesn't follow the syllabus and does things whenever she sees fit. Moves things around and forgets what class she tells it to. Doesn't keep students up to date with grades
she is the worst english professor ever and you will not pass her class. it is a waste of your time and money, she says your papers suck and she doesn't follow her syllabus at all. she can't hear you at all also, and is very forgetful so bottom line don't take her class EVER! she is terrible goodluck.. also always showed up late to class.
She is an easy grader, but she tends to be very hard-headed. She can be very disorganized at times and also spends too much time on one subject which tends to waste class time. Her lectures get too heavy for no reason. However, the paper she assigns are pretty straight forward. If you write the paper the way she wants, you will pass with an A.
There is alot of material that isn't mentioned in the syllabus. Expect to get useless in class assignments with confusing instructions that aren't clear. There are sub assignments on sub assignments on sub assignments for one essay assignment. I get a very "simon says" vibe from her instructions. Says "are you with me?" Frequently.
She does NOT use Canvas at all. She uses a folder for your work to be put in. Prepare not to ever know your grade. She can be good and bad at some times. Sometimes off topic. Assignments are boring and repetitive. Makes us write essays for no reason and didn't get a grade for them. Calls on you randomly to answer the questions from workbook.
Pay attention to what kind of information she wants you to write in your papers and you will do just fine.
She was amazing and very accessible outside of class for one on one help. She walks you through every mistake and gives you time for corrections. Her lectures can move fast if your behind but she didnt mind taking the time to slow down and help. Overall a pretty easy A if you put forth the effort and are not juvenile during her class
Very nice lady! Always gives feedback on your papers and allows you to make corrections. Definitely a good choice to take for English!
My only criticism was that she cared way too much about the attendance of individuals. If you showed up to class but left early, she would count you as absent. She gave great feedback for papers if you asked questions, but she would sometimes shame u into learning things. Bad at emailing. Also you're really going to need the books.
Professor Schouman overall was lovely to have as a teacher and will pretty much tell you exactly what to do to get an A and as long as you do that you will be fine. She is very funny and overall made a class that I normally find very boring bearable.
Good prof, slightly stricter than the average teacher, but nothing irrational. Not the most informative/understandable but I understood her enough to do well. Work consisted of multiple papers and four tests, two of which had set dates and two that were surprises.
Unless you literally have 0 life outside of school then dont take her class. She cares WAY too much about students attendance, I did all my work and passed everything except for ONE paper & she failed me for the entire class...... literally unless you have NO LIFE AT ALL Outside of community college save yourself the hassle and take someone else
She takes attendance everyday and you need to make sure she doesn't mark you absent by accident. It happened to me and she refused to change it. Every paper is broken up into sections that your classmates grade which you then compile for her to grade. It's a very easy class.
A real caring teacher with a passion for what she does. Show up, participate, and do your homework and it's an easy grade if you are trying. The syllabus clearly outlines what is required, there are plenty of helpful handouts, and she is helpful with any questions one might have. Highly recommended.
