I took her hybrid class which I definately recommend, just don't forget online work. She is pretty easy, just gives a lot of busy work. Less than if you met twice a week though. She gives a ton of time for papers, but is never clear as to what your grade is in the class, so that makes it a little

She's eager to help you do your best on every paper you write, which makes your job easy. She offers opinions and always replies to emails with helpful tips.

She will help you all she can, but the class is pretty easy. There is lots of time for peer editing, and its actually more helpful than you think. The essays are actually fun. You should not have trouble in the class. I put in work on some of the essays, but ended up getting nothing less than a B+ on each essay. I ended up with an A in the class.

I took the hybrid class, which I recommend. I liked her a lot, some of the assignments are not too useful, but just follow the instructions and you should do fine. Prepare to spend quite a bit of time on each writing assignment. I would take her again if I could.

SHE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND HELPFUL. SHE WANTS HER STUDENTS TO SUCCEED -- SHE CARES. I WOULD TAKE A CLASS WITH HER AGAIN IF I NEEDED ONE. GOOD TEACHER. WE HAD TO WRITE A LOT OF PAPERS BUT SHE MADE IT FUN! ONLINE ASSIGNMENTS WERE HELPFUL; THEY HELPED WITH THE PAPER PROJECTS.

Professor Erdem looks serious, but she is funny, understanding, and caring. She is also enthusiastic, so you don't get bored in class. Her assignments are practical, useful, and make sense. Follow her rules and instructions, do your best, and you should be fine. I would take her class again if I could.

She is very approachable and gives all the help she can if you ask her a question. Prepares informative and fun power point presentations. Seems very enthusiastic about teaching different topics in linguistics. Gives good feedback with research paper topics. Made the class fun, interesting, and easy for a class that met everyday in the summer.

One word --- AWESOME! I agree with the raters. She is knowledgeable and funny. She is also practical and explains clearly. I mean, for the first time I feel as though I may use what I learned in class. Just go to class, participate, and do your best with the assignments. She is one of the most rational professors I've had.

Aw i love Mrs. Erdem! She is sooo freaking nice and so sweet. She really wants to help you learn and is way reasonable when she grades. I though i wrote a crappy essay for our first one and in got a 100 on it! She has a good sense of humor and i don't think she could ever be mean to anyone. Take her classes! Hybrid is easy!

Prof. Erdem is knowledgeable, approachable,and overall a WONDERFUL professor. She is nice and willing to help with writing issues, computer problems, and is flexible and understanding of conflicts. Not a very difficult class, but you learn a great deal, because she cares, and her expectations of you are clear.

Very easy class for anyone who's taken high school English and written an essay. The assignments are all easy, but the hybrid format made it hard for me to remember to do them. Other than that, very easy class.

Her expectations are clear. She is well-organized, very nice, and helpful. The class is very easy with 4 papers that are actually fun to write and interesting. She grades fairly and observes well. So it is important to participate in class. If you take the hybrid course dont forget to do the online discussion and check blackboard frequently.

I loved her; she'll help you out a lot if you ask for it. Participate and try to write well - she pays attention to that. She's friendly and doesn't give busy work like some other pretentious teachers. She's one of the nicest at ASU. English courses are full of crap anyway, but I learned practical writing tips from her.

After taking her, you will agree that she is a fun, enthusiastic, and very very helpful prof. Keeps assignments relatively simple while maximizing what you learn. Makes things very clear. Actually cares about her students. Sweet and approachable. Definitely recommended.

I must say she is one of the best instructor I have ever had. She is not only a faculty but also a coach. She understands every aspect of what students go through in and out of class. I respect her for her close touch on individuals. She is very eash to speak with, down to earth, always available to help and provide more than you can ask for.

Many times she will not understand your question or how to answer it but she does teach well.. just work off your interpertation of the assignment and you'll do fine. The classes are fun because you discuss interesting topics and everyone participates. I enjoyed the class.

I will not be taking this class again--not with the same teacher.

A true professional.

She's a very easy teacher and this is a very easy class. Don't have any quizzes or tests. Only papers, which she grades easily. Plus she is very nice!

This class was a challenge, but fun. I had Claudia Browning and she was a good teacher. The reviews were a bit slow, but there were a lot of groups for this class. I felt I did well and it did show with my grade. Just keep up with all assignments, quizzes and discussions, you will get through it a positive attitude.

This class is not hard nor easy. The amount of time and effort you put in will reflect your grade. I had a lot of things going on this particular semester which showed in the quality of my work. Got a B even though I did not put my best foot forward. I had Kolette Draegan as my group instructor and she was perfectly nice.

there is a lot of work that goes into this class & assignments (esp. reflections) felt very repetitive, but she's an easy grader and will help strengthen your college writing. I continue to see no use in peer-reviews - it seems people just don't know how to give quality feedback & many times students I had to review didn't complete the assignment..

There is a lot of busy work. It's not a traditional English class. You create a portfolio of your work online and create different styles of writing.

Having to create a portfolio was new to me, but I enjoyed it. There was quite a bit of busy work, but overall I enjoy the class and received great feedback on my assignments.

She is one of the best instructors I have seen from ASU. Very attentive, provides insight into topics, listens to the students and provides constructive feedback. I have taken courses with her before but this is the first time I am rating. I LEARNED A LOT!!!

As with ENG 101, it is not fair to grade Professor Erdem specifically, as this class seems to be run by the writing department. As with 101, mostly absent leadership, super useful materials and super helpful TAs.

I really enjoyed taking this class and I though professor Erdem did a great job at laying out what was expected. She provided constructive feedback for all assignments and was very helpful when I reached out to her. I would take this class again.

During the online course, the TA (Mike Pfister) was excellent. Having gone through ENG 101 online at ASU really helped the framework is identical. Completion of assignments and showing some sort of progress are keys to success. Keeping on schedule and rocking the ePortfolio should net an A. Did KoC on the last day in a couple of hours.

The course is split up into pods where you work w a professor and TA. Majority of my interaction was with professor Mark Visquesney and he was fantastic. Always got back to me and graded right away. Quite a bit of writing involved obviously but you are able to pick your own topics which is nice. They integrate technology into the assignments.

Not a bad choice for ENG102. Took it online last semester and did the bare minimum. The TA's and himself give good feedback on papers. The deadlines are very clear and if you follow it you'll have no problem.

Make sure you follow instructions VERY carefully. When the professor gives you feedback on how to correct your paper, DO IT! Be very literal when asked to explain something in discussion boards and the like. I never bought the textbook, but managed to get an A in the course. As long as you follow these guidelines, you can get an A too!

I took an icourse, easy if you do not miss any assignments, overall good professor

Took ENG102 as session A iCourse. Complete all the assignments with effort and turn them in on time you will receive a good grade. There are 2 "projects" (essays), and then turn in a final portfolio at the end. The professor doesn't do much, you a are assigned to a group and each group has an instructor. Overall an easy class.

Great teacher. Definetely PLENTY of work however what you put in is what you get. ALWAYS do the extra credit! Really makes a difference towards your final project. At the end of the semester she will round your grade up. She is hard but just do your work and really try!

I wanted to leave a review because I think the reviews for this course are so harsh! I thought this class was a ton of fun! You get a chance to write about your own topics, create an online portfolio, and yes the professors are a little tough on grading, but their also very understanding and very friendly. Overall, I loved this class.

loved this class! Writing instructor provided thorough feedback, responded quickly, and was very involved. Outside looking in, seems like a lot of work. But, it was very rewarding and fairly easy! Not much more demanding than any other college course. Just put in the time and effort, and you will do fine!

This class was difficult, but also manageable. A lot to read and research. Make sure to follow the instructions, and you will be fine. Our class was too large and we were broken up into smaller groups. Each group had an instructor and a writing mentor, so Prof. Erdem was not really the actual instructor to grade papers and to communicate with.

Be prepared to write a lot! Each assignment builds on writing the next essay.

Good class, I learned a lot. I Would take it again

You write a total of 2 papers 1,000-1,500 words (persuasive and solution essay) with multimodal components (poster, ad, pamphlet, etc) and multiple discussion boards. You also design your own online portfolio where you will post your work including pre, mid and post-course reflections. Just turn in your work on time and you'll be fine.

I took the ENG102 class Session A. The class is very fast paced assignments due Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday. However, the grading rubric is very clear and as long as you put the work in you will receive a good grade. The professor was able to see when you gave effort and gave you a grade that truly reflected your work. I would take his class again!

I have not clue why the Awful feedback is but I had a fantastic experience.

Going into this class, I was terrified having read the reviews, but honestly, it wasn't that bad. It's just a lot of busy work. You are assigned a TA. I had Hays, who was great. You don't have any actual interaction with the prof. You are writing your typical research papers, but you get to be creative with it. Papers have easy to reach word counts

You won't get this prof once the class starts, but the others are all great as far as I can tell (I had Shively). If you do the bare minimum you can still pass with a B, you decide what grade you get based on how much effort you put into you projects. You don't need to be a good writer, you just need to try & care. Do not be stressed.

She looks serious but rewards hard work.

She doesn't play around the bush. Get ready to work.
