She's a pretty good teacher if you pay attention and show up to class. She's always well prepared with class and is a very fair grader. She's easy to talk to (since she's young) but someone you can really learn something from. She's a great teacher.
She gives a lot of HW, she expects u to have everything done! she can be very fair, and really nice. She is a fair grader, if you don't like to participate a lot in class...then u don't want to get her, she normally picks out names, and asks questions,makes u participate, other than that,she's good!
Hioureas is an excellent teacher to have if your attendence is good and not late with assignments, because she offers a lot of help. Since I've been in her class i feel that i've learned a lot so far. Participation is a biggy so make sure your up to speed with what's going on because she's calls o
Professor Eleni Hioureas is by far one of the best teachers ive ever had.Im taking her now and I cant wait til the end of the semster to comment on her cuz she's really awesome,helpful,and really cares and tries her best to have you get an "A".I really recommend her!! And plus that,shes damn pretty!
Ms Hioureas is a young professor new 2 SMC she is helpful & nice, but can be a bit picky on assignments. If u don't like 2 talk or answer question don't take her because she will call on u 2 talk & absences r a big part of your grade if you miss to much of class your grade drops and tardies.
great teacher! easy assingments, but sometimes not very clear.
Professor Hioureas is a part-time Prof. at SMC. She's really coo, plus she's so young and the most beautiful woman in the world. I am taking this class with her right now...However, I don't think i am doin' well in the class 'cuz am always late in class, but I do all my HW that by the way are so easy... I strongly recommend her to u. Great teacher!
MS. Hioureas is a very nice teacher. I really like the way she kept up to assignments and how she would explain assignments. I really did not know nuch on grammar and doing essay's but she helped me clear all that out. So if you need help on these parts she is a great teacher to take. I highly recommend her for this course because she is patient.
dont take her classes because u cant concentrate on the school materials; i couldn't take my eyes off Eleni, it was my first time for not missing one day within one semester long. hoping to get to see her sometime later.
A good teacher. She's very standard about what she says and won't go further in wasting your time with anything else that might come across as irrelevant. The material that she explains is clear and you shouldn't have any problems. She's easy to approach and quite nice, I'd recommend her.
Eleni is an amazing teacher i have learned so much and shes so helpful. not only is she a good teacher but beautiful, VERY VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL.
She is a great teacher! She is really nice and beautiful. She makes everything perfectly clear and the class is really easy!
hey, lookin for a real teacher? just take her. u not gonna regret it at all...
Amazing teacher. She explains eveything very clear and step by step. very helpfull and she is always wiling to answer questions. I have taken all the courses below 21A so professor Hioureas makes it easy understand her material. YOu need to go the work to pass the class and do really good essays to get an A. don't waste your time and money. takeher
She's great, I highly reccomend her. She is very helpful, and likes to see students participate. Just bring in the essays one time, and do the homework, and you'll be fine.
great teacher
Definetly my favorite teacher i have had so far at smc.
i loved this class..she is very helpful and if you do the work and try youll do fine..shes one of the best teachers youll ever have so dont think twice about taking her...very sweet and pretty..best teacher ever
Beautiful Teacher... I got a C cuz i skipped class A LOT.
She is the best teacher I've ever had at SMC. Besides being so smart, she is also very pretty. I loved her class. However, she is so strict on attendance and she cares about students. We did some group projects(easy ones). I got a C in her class because I was always late, missed some classes, missed some worked projects(u can do them yourself at ho
Hot teacher, great teacher, easy teacher. There are not surprises at all, she will let you know what you need to do to recieve an A. She will help you if you need it. Everything is straight forward, so unless you're never in class or just so happen to piss her off there's no way you can't get an A.
she is WAY too easy. my lame high school was more of a challenge than was this girl's class. i don't think she has very much experience. all the boys are way in love with her, but you don't learn much; if anything. its a "feel good" class.
very nice, but too much works to do
She is like an angel who is really pretty and nice. She answers all your questions and is willing to help. There are many hw, including online ex. (really easy), and answering the qs from the main text book. Easy B if you do all your work and turn in on time.
Prof. H. is one the best english teacher i ever took. She is very helpful and nice, she makes everyone to involve in her class and learn. I got an A easily. Just do your Hw, don't miss her class, DO NOT TURN YOUR WORK LATE. and most important thing to success in her class is DO ALL EXTRA CREDIT (seems not alot but it adds up @ last) TAKE HER!!!!
best eng.teacher I've ever had. she is also so beautiful, she should be the head of the english department.she is so perfect in many ways.having her as a teacher was a pleasure.a little too much homework, but her looks make up for it.
She's the worst English teacher ever.She's too young and she hasn't figured out her style of teaching yet.She tried to fail everyone in my class because of her poor teaching methods.
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
OMG! WHAT CAN I SAY PROF. HIOUREAS IS AMAZING! SHE IS THE BEST ENGLISH TEACHER I HAVE HAD SO FAR AT SMC! SHE IS THE REASON I STILL WANT TO MAJOR IN ENGLISH. SHE HELPS YOU IN ANY WAY TO PASS HER CLASS SHE MAKES SURE HER CLASS UNDERSTANDS THE MATERIAL AND ALSO SHES SO PRETTY! I ADMIRE HER! TAKE HER CLASS YOU WONT REGRET IT!
yeah... she is pretty and young. Easy class.
Shes a good teacher but leaves a lot of homework. You can't miss Essays because then you get dropped! But shes nice dont have anything bad to just those stupid essays.
Worst English teacher I have ever had. I strongly recommend never taking her class. You will be very disappointed. Her teaching methods aren't very clear. She gives to much homework and doesn't go over it. She only really cares about the people who are getting A+'s.
she's an ok teacher i did good in all my essays and in the last one she tried to fail me
I took her english 81a class last semister it was pretty easy. I mean I got a fair amount of homework and the essay topics where good. No real complaints. And if ur taking 81a go to the labs and do the essays thats all I want to say.
so good I took her again during spring 2009. No complaints just do the essays and book work and you'll do fine.
She is a good teacher who cares and understands her students. She gives a lot of homework and is strict on attendance,but it is an overall easy class to get an Pass. Completing all HW and labs is important, but essay's count way more. So if you have trouble writing essays, then get help before the semester starts, or you will be in trouble.
great teacher very helpful. answered every email and question. clarified the h.w. she helps A LOT! with the essays.would recommend teacher
I don't know what she is up to but I hate her by Bernard chee
Hey Bernard Chee, just because you have no learning ability does not make it the teacher's fault. This teacher is a great person and very helpful. Why didn't you just drop the class instead of spamming a website with your nonsense? Learn to school.
beautiful teacher, very nice, helpfull, not one of those boring old teachers.
SHE IS VERY NICE. HER WORK IS ALSO EASY. SHE WILL TRY TO DO ANYTHING SHE COULD IN ORDER TO PASS YOU. SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST TEACHER. ALL YOU HAD TO DO IS THE HOMEWORK AND ATTEND CLASS. I REALLY RECOMMEND HER.
Take This Class And You'll Never Regret it. You Will Like This Class!
This teacher is quite the pro. She seems to have a way of teaching that you will like. I love her, and wish she would teach harder classes. Take her. Highly recommended. BTW, she's kinda hot. Not hard to keep your eyes to the front ;D. Great class, and even better professor.
Awesome teacher.
she's a great teacher and helps you alot. you need all the textbooks and got to be in her class all the time.
I love the class, very good teacher, she is always has a good attitude. She is very helpful. There is a lot of essay to write in the class, but is something that we cant be afraid of. You will enjoy the class as much as I did. Take it, she is great
Amazing teacher! Very sweet and a joy to have. She's a little strict about cell phones, so please put it away or you'll lose ten points.
Cute and very helpful
Eleni Hioureas is a great professor. She is super cute, does not have a mean bone in her body. Because the school needs to see her be a good teacher, she is strict about electronics, but all in all, her work is simple and therefore it is quite simple to pass her class. Participate, and the A is certain.
Great teacher. She truthfully helps you to be your best as a student and offers many chances for extra credit. I really wish she taught a higher level english other than ENGL 84 and 85. I had her as a ENGL 85 teacher and I was able to skip ENGL 81, ENGL 20 and go straight to ENGL 1 if i please. She really helped me become a great writer!SHES A MUST
She is a great teacher. She is really clear. Helpful. Gives a lot of hw and a lot of essays but helps you step by step to make it easier. Too bad she doesn't teach English 1. She's strict but that's how college is right? Btw really cute.
She is friendly, kind and helpful. Had her two semesters and I love her, so far she is the best teacher I ever had.. take her you wont regret it.!!(:
Amazing professor! So well organized and helpful. She gives very clear directions & gives you her grading rubric before all assignments so you know what is expected. She makes the class interesting with relevant readings, group work, & peer reviews. I highly recommend this professor.
Ms. Hioureas is a very nice and cute , she's very helpful and cares about her students , try not to miss class you'll miss a lot, but i recommend this class !!!
She is a great professor, even though, she's really strict. At the end you realize she does it for your own good, to make you a better student. I learned a lot from her class it was really interesting and educational. I would recommend, it's an easy A you just have to be committed and you will be okay :-)
Young professor, organized, fair grader.
The best professor ever. Do whatever she tells you to do and you'll pass the class for sure. She is clear, helpfully, nice, and really cares about you. TAKE HER.
Best professor ever
This professor is amazing and works well with students. Assists others and gives great lectures to help you understand the material. she is understanding and is great will helping you out with anything you need.
Professor Hioureas is really easy, 3 essays+1 in class essay. She gives really good feedback and advice. A+ is guaranteed if you come to class and do the homework. She gives tons of extra credit opportunities so there's no way you will fail this class.
Very good professor.
She is the best professor in the whole world :)
She's a wonderful professor! A bit of a tough grader but very fair about it, offers lots of chances to make up work as long as you notify her ahead of time, gives great feedback, super welcoming & helpful in office hours. Lots of group work in class, only a little outside it. You WILL use every single book. Thoughtful & engaging. Loved her!!!
I should have dropped her when I had the chance. She expects for you to be able to analyze things at a high level and I believe she wasn't a fair grader. It was an interesting course and I learned a lot but I just couldn't fulfill her expectations.
Professor hioureas is a nice person but she has very high expectations. Her feedback comes off as positive but grades say otherwise. I liked the class overall but shes a tough grader, for my essays she gave back to me made me feel like it wasnt enough but was unclear on what I needed to improve on. Offers EC, which is helpful.
This has been one of my favorite classes I've taken so far. Not only is the material extremely interesting, but the way she presents it makes it easy to understand. Lots of reading, but really worth it if you're interested
VERY disappointed by this class. Took this class for FUN but HIGHLY REGRET IT. She makes you believe youre smart but is the complete opposite when it comes to the essays. She is very unclear in the grading material. Will give you a zero if you dont say what she specifically wants to see in your work without telling you so. Dont take this class!
I learned a lot about mythology in this class and the professor presents the information in a clear and interesting way. She gives good feedback that helps you understand how to structure and analyze the information in your essays better. Even if you're not available to meet her during her office hours, she makes time to help you.
Professor Hioures Is a one of a kind professor. I loved her class. Though it was very challenging for me, she offers a lot of help. I worked for my A! and i felt like I really earned it with her because he doesn't give out that grade too often. She is very specific about what she wants. Follow her instructions and you will do well. Take her.
Took winter sem. There were 2 papers, 2 exams + final. Lots of group discussions extremely helpful with understanding the material. I hate reading and there is a lot but this class made the info interesting and understandable. She also helped by providing links to the text so it helped me save money on books. She's fantastic & really cares.
Very sweet professor. I recommend her for any of your English courses.
taking mythology with her is a really enlightening class! ask her a question about the myths, and she will help you think deeper about it. super easy and fascinating class, just a lot of reading and discussions every week. she is super kind though, such a gem! great online professor!
If you're deciding to take her DONT. I went from an A to a D in a week because of her meticulous grading. I missed a quote in my first exam she gave me an F. I missed my works cited for my Essay and she gave me an F. She did not take into consideration what I had did for either of these assignments. I suggest finding another prof.
Professor Hioureas is truly a gem at SMC! I took her class during the pandemic, she is very understanding and it's clear that she wants to see her students succeed. The reading assignments are straightforward yet insightful, clear grading criteria, is more than happy to give feedback, and gives opportunities for resubmitting and extra credit.
Professor Hioureas is amazing! Her teaching style is great and I really feels like she wants everyone to succeed! It really seems like she went the extra mile to adapt her teachings to be online compared to other professors Ive seen. Seriously though, if you want to learn how to properly write a college level essay take her class! Shes the best !
I took a grammar review voluntarily to improve my grammar in general. I could have bought an online tutorial and watched a few YouTube videos and had the same experience. It I was super boring. I did learn from the material, but not from her. She takes forever to grade things at least 1 month. So you do not know where you stand exactly.
Great professor. You have a lot of reading and a lot of work to do but all of the homework helps you prepare for the essays. She breaks everything down step by step and makes the requirements clear. You will definitely improve your writing and reading comprehension skills in this class!
She's a great Professor, who takes the material she teaches seriously! Her Mythology class was no joke, she doesn't just want you to read about the myths, she wants you to understand the cultural importance of the characters and stories. Certainly not an easy A, but an enjoyable class nevertheless. She also offers extra credit if you see a tutor
Professor Hioureas is a great choice for your English 1 credit. she's very nice and she just want to help to make your writing better. She particularly tough on grammar. When I took this class in winter 2021, We got an embedded English tutor and you got extra credit when you went to the tutor. She gives great comments on your essay (4 essays).
Great professor! Decent amount of homework with reading. As long as you read and take notes, the tests are easy. Grammar is important to this professor! She will always give feedback on what you need to correct or if something isn't meeting the requirements of the assignments.
Professor Hioureas is amazing. She is very clear on what needs to be done and really cares to make sure you do good. All the assignments that she gives are made to help build your essays as it goes, If you put in a basic amount of effort this class is an easy A.
Concise and through, but slow grader. Sometimes I got the impression our class was not important to her, or she looked down to some of us. She makesclass interesting and gave me decent guidance and feedback, but it came too late for me to make a turnaround. My grade was fine but I wanted to rock this class, not just do well.
She took too long to grade our assignments. Also, she is quite strict with MLA format which got tricky because most of her class is based off of poems or other non-novel work which I am not good with. Some of the subject material is written in an older form of English and hard to follow. Plus, she is not that clear about what she wants on essays.
She is very professional, and you can see her passion when teaching.
Absolutely loved this class, you could tell how caring she is towards her students and how much she wants them to succeed. For our class she had 2 embedded tutors as well as an embedded counselor which was incredibly helpful. Good amount of homework but she was so caring and informative. One of the best professors I've ever had hands down!!
For assignments, especially the bigger ones, she provided a very detailed set of criteria that had to be followed, making it much harder to get points docked for missing something. There was a lot of reading and a lot of homework, but most of the assignments were pretty short and simple. It was also a great and fun way for me to improve my MLA.
In all my time at SMC I've never left a review until this teacher. The class is relatively easy, or at least it was until she reported me for plagiarism on the mid-term because I put the wrong age number for a quote and Turn it In said the text was "21% AI likely". She's terrible, really snarky and rude. She reported me for %20... like come on.
About 2-3 mandatory textbooks and 2 optional ones. Lots of reading. Class is mainly analysis of myths. Exams are done on your own personal Google doc. 2 essays in the semester. Overall, very interesting course and she was a good teacher to teach it.
