My vote for professor of the year. She is a great lady and it is a very enjoyable class. She brings in food and gives u points for just going. I love this lady!!!
She was so down to earth and willing to help with any question you had. I would definitely take her again.

Very down to earth teacher. Will bend over backwards to help you. I'd take another course with her again. Very Very Easy. Only 3 papers to do.
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
She's nice but would be better for high school or maybe ever middle school kids.
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!!!!
Liz is awesome. Nothing more really to say. Cares, helps, and grades fairly. Unlike half the other ENGL professors on this campus she doesn't show favoritism. CROWLL FOR QUEEN!!!
Very helpful. gives out many examples. actually wants to help you pass the class. only down side is attendance is mandatory. crowll is the best!
Very helpful and nice. If you ever had a problem, she did her best to help you. Also, very patient.
She was really nice and helpful. Class was easy. COnsisted of a series of journals and papers. But easy, just had to do them. She's very helpful so if anything ever came up she'd help you out.
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 is terrible with grades. I never knew what my grade was and never informed me of me failing and when I did ask, she didnt help. She also likes to make fun of people when they are listening
She is an alright teacher, but her grading rubric is completely haywire. I never knew what grade I had in her class. She means well, but she can be "out there" at times.
Ms. Crowell is very kind as long as you show her respect. She expects you to take her class seriously and to come to class! You definitely have to stay on top of your work in order to pass with a decent grade.
I would not recommend taking any class with her.
She is a tough one but if you stay on top of things, show up to class, and do your work on time she will do anything to help you out.

incredible professor which I would recommend to anyone. really enjoyed the class and wish she would teach more classes
a really nice lady who I would take again if I was in need of another English class. i would recommend her to my friends and even to not lol
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.
she is great teacher
nice refreshing professor
she is a great teacher. I am so happy that I took her class, she was amazing and so caring. She is willing to stay after class if needed. Best starting Professor you could ask for.
She is amazing! I took this class in spring of 2014 and had no idea what was going on in there at all and I failed. She has a great way of explaining things and makes sure you understand. She explains things in 'english lingo' and then in english! I would absolutely take her again!
One of my favorite professors so far. Extremely fair and understanding.
One of my favorite professors and i am a sophmore
loved her
This lady not only is an excellent teacher, but the true definition of an american. I enjoyed every part of this course and would highly recommend both the course and the instructor
prof crowll is my favorite prof--love her class and ty for making me learn
I just love her so much! She's a wonderful teacher. Very helpful and clear to understand. Super educated and organized. That just goes to show how nice and helpful to her students that she is.
She is a wonderful teacher. She is by far one of the best teachers at ysu. She is passionate about her subject, knows her stuff well, is very fair . You need to show up and pay attention. Highly recommended.
nice lady n class
Betsy is one of the best intro instructors I've ever had. She doesn't try to teach upper class material in an intro. The things you learn are relevant and give you base knowledge foundation. Other intro profs could learn a lot from her playbook.
Really really good lady. Awesome lecturer with very clear examples. Always in office for office hours and is very easy to talk to. If you take her you will appreciate her way of doing things. Always had a curve appropriate for class performance. Great teacher!
really take her she is very good n nice.
She's probably my favorite teacher at school. If I could have taken every English class with her I would have. If you go to class and do your homework you actually learn. She's also more than willing to meet during office hours if you're not understanding the material. She's somewhat flexible with test and quiz dates. Class schedule is organized.
She is a wonderful professor. She keeps things interesting and loves teaching. She goes out of her way to help students. I will take her classes again. Best professor so far in my college experience.
i liked
good good good
I just love her so much! She's a wonderful teacher. Very helpful and clear to understand. Super educated and organized.
Great teacher! Have to actively study the lecture notes. Test are worded in a essay manner but if you know the material you'll understand. would take her again

Professor Crowll is a wonderful professor. She keeps things interesting and loves teaching. She goes out of her way to help students. Best professor so far in my college experience
I took mrs crowll because my friend recommended her. I am sincerely glad that I did. Attend class or enjoy reading and writing. Easy choice, right? I would still recommend her highly.
EXCELLENT teacher. She followed the syllabus and created good group activities in and has emailed me resources pertaining to my topics in fiction. movies were good
This prof rocks! She is so clear on all that she teaches and is so flexible with assignments .thanks.
My friend and I had her for Writing 2. Gave a lot of slack towards the class, you really have to screw up to fail. Very helpful for writing the paper.
fun class if you do your part in reading and going to class. She's a very funny teacher and doesn't take everything so seriously which is good. . i really like her teaching style and wish she taught more classes. i recommend taking her.
She is the very best!! Plain and simple. So glad I ended up in her class!
liked her class a lot
Took history of motion pictures and there are 3 tests for the entire class and the last test is the final. Notes and study guides are emailed by her ahead of time, so no writing is necessary! She spends a review day before each test and let's students know exactly what bullet points to study. Simple memorization and all easy, multiple choice.
enjoyed her very much
She is the very best at this school
great english teacher choice
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.
Dr. Crowll is one of the BEST professors I have had. She is so much fun, caring, and understanding. She made writing papers easy and fun, as she broke down the bigger essays into smaller parts, making sure we understood what we were doing. She is absolutely wonderful!
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.
