Very Very Easy class. Attendance is mandatory. She is a very nice lady that will bend over backwards to help one. Ms. Crowll I thought was a much easier teacher then my last English class. There are 3 papers and each one of them is informative. One of them is on an old black and white movie. Received an A. Spring 2006

If you can, take her for this class!!! She is so EASY! the day before a test she gives a review that includes about 80% of the test questions, the EXACT test questions. We never used the book, so there is no need to buy it. Attendance is mandatory but most people would sign-in and then leave after she started a movie. Her class is an easy A!!!!

She made this class very easy. She would hand out study guides for each exam which was extremely helpful. She is a no nonsense type of person so do not try to pull anything on her. You obviously need to go to class to watch the movies. She passes a attendance sheet around each class, you are able to miss 3 classes for the semester. Take her!

First and last English class I ever failed. If it wasn't for my second professor, I would have given up on my dream to be a writer. I recommend if you take her and immediately don't click, drop her class like it is hot. It won't get any better, even if you ask her what to do. If you don't click, you won't click with this professor.

She was very understanding if you ever have a family emergency or if you had to miss class for a good reason. Most paper's were easy except for the final paper. Don't procrastinate on it. Class is very boring and you don't really need to pay attention. Only complaint was that she said that book was mandatory, not able to rent and never used it.

Mrs. Crowll is one of the best profs I've had so far. She breaks the big final paper into smaller, easier to digest pieces, and makes the overall process very easy. It is impossible to fail this class. However, don't not do the assignments. She's very fair, and very funny. Class never lasts the whole 50 minutes either. About as good as you can get.

From what I have experienced, Elizabeth Crowll speaks down to her students as though they are lesser, and uses a mocking voice which I find to be incredibly unprofessional. In my time in her classroom, I have not grown as a writer, and to further she has consistently stifled any creativity, voice, or shape my writing once had.
