she makes it such a boring class
No Comments
No Comments
Good teacher, good sense of humour, but can be on the dull side. Not very strict.
Good discussion, fun class
kinda picky on grammar, but a nice lady
She's boring and doesn't teach. She only teaches us useless stuff and when there's something worth 25% of your mark she doesn't bother to teach you. A complete waste of time going to her class because you don't learn.
She is a nice lady and a good teacher.
Willing to answer questions. Replies email questions. Very helpful. Wears smiles. Demonstrate clear examples in the class.
She is the worst teacher I've ever had. Not only does she mark hard but is extremely PICKY. It is also a very boring class. She is definitely not worth taking.
nice lady, not much homework, kind of picky but the class is bearable.
shes an alright teacher but she is really picky with grammar and thats what makes ur mark harsh come down. She is helpful and if u need help she tries her best and replies back to ur emails.
She is a nice teacher but a hard marker.
very nice and helpfull, excelent disscussions but needs more assignments
Picky marker. Typical english teacher hard to please. Strict on attendance.
Nice teacher, but a very hard marker.
Very hard marker. Easy Quiz but not on essay¶graph. Her topics are just... =.=' suck, couldn't write anything much about it. Her examples are not interesting.
She is nice and friendly, but finicky with English rules and structures. She will answer your E-mails, and help when you ask.
Her marking is a little hard; however, she gives good feedback and has a good attitude
She is a very nice and kind teacher who will help you when you need it. However, she is a very harsh marker. Moreover, she is very strict on grammer and whether you are clear and concise. The last assignment and final are easy! gdluck if you take her~^^
Super nice and open minded. But, little hard on marking essays, and dont forget to double check the grammer
Good ENGL teacher in a bad dept.
She's nice but not kind. Boring Class.
not the easiest marker but not too hard.. easy to get a B range mark if you put decent effort in..hard to get an A. Picky with grammar..not very many assignments or long readings so thats a plus! ..very helpful teacher.. gives participation/attendance/quiz marks which is good.
why is it that teachers at UBC will scale marks but teachers at kwantlen (like this teacher) wont? She recently said that shes never given out so many C-'s in her life. If everyone in the class is getting a C- it means that theres something wrong with the way your teaching the class. LEARN TO SCALE
super nice person, easy to talk to...shes an ok marker...very friendly person though
very nice teacher, easy going, fun class, lots group work, her quizzes are pretty easy if u prepare, but her eassy marking is pretty tough..!!
She awesome take her class!!! very kind
i though elizabeth was nice. she had a good attitude and class was alright for the most part. she is a fair marker, strict on grammar of course since shes an english teacher. i liked her for the most part. got some a's and b's. but effort is definitely needed to get a high mark
She's nice, but her lectures are a bit boring. She doesn't have much to say on the texts,and expects the students to carry the class discussions, which is fair, but aren't we paying for her vast knowledge on the subject matter? I would have liked to hear more of what she thought. She's a pretty tough marker as well, but relatively fair I suppose.
good teacher and a fair marker, breaks always on scedule, take her class!
good english teacher. everyone says thats she's super picky about grammar ... what do u ppl except this is an english course .. if ur grammar sucks then u get a bad mark simple as that. she's pretty funny and seems like she enjoys being there. word of caution .. don't skip out on her class when u have to hand in an assignment .. she'll give a quiz
She is a nice teacher, always friendly and smiling. Her classes are bearable, she usually has some fun coversations (non school related) during class to lighten things up. She is a relatively fair marker, although she does seem to pick favorites and doesnt like slakers. Other than that she is a very nice person, best english teacher at Kwantlen.
Wow! shes the best engl teacher i ever had. A fair marker and a very nice lady. In fact english is my weakest subject but luckily i had Elizabeth! Gives easy pop quizes for easy marks. Took this course in the summer as an accelerated session and ended up with an ok grade. Take it with Elizabeth!! You wont regret it!!
although i got really bad in this class, but she is nice.
Wonderful teacher. You can not imagine how wonderful she is. On the first day of class, we were talking about how much we hated English, and after 3 sessions, we talked about how much we love English. She really care about her students; she is extremely knowledgable, and the most important, she CAN teach very well. Thank you Elizabeth
She is very nice, and has a good sense of humour. A bit of a tough marker, but I guess all English professors are...
You must attend her class and read the material she gives you to read in order to do well. She's helpful when you need extra help as well. Sweet lady.
Elizabeth is a good instructor. She's quite easy going and the course itself is easy if you keep up with the assigned readings. She is also a very fair marker.
Elizabeth's great! She's extremely helpful- she re-read an essay I thought was unfairly marked and she sat down with me to go over a different essay before it was due. Helped me raise my grade from a C+ to a B+
I agree that Elizabeth is a very friendly teacher. I got a really low mark in my first essay but I improved as the course goes. She gave quite useful feedback so that you can learn to avoid your previous mistakes. The final was a bit of a rush, and the literary works were not explained thoroughly, as it was a 3-hour class, only held once a week.
Nice teacher, but you have to show up and do your work, essays are fair, quiz's and exams are fair.
her classes are super boring. she marks the in class essays relatively easy but the take home essays she marks quite hard. she's picky on grammar and sentence structure. overall she's a fair marker and a great prof
awsome teacher.. really helps you
great
she tells what she wants but she wont explain it clearly, she just keeps on mumbling, so strict with with everything & inconsiderate!
she is a very nice person. I really like her. Her markings could be better though.
Bad teacher! She is not as good as my expectation, since I can't learn anything from her class.Tough marker, if you only want to get a credit from her course, not take her class.
extremely BORING class. You still have to show up because of her quiz though. Make sure to always double check your sentence structure + grammar before you hand in your essays. She is extremely picky in grammar, trust me , I know. You can basically just BS your way through her essay questions. She only cares for grammar
I got a D in my previous English class with a different proff, but this summer with Gooding I got a B! I found her suprisingly fair in her marking she is one of the easier english profs at Kwantlen for sure. I dont know why others gave her such low marks, if you do the work decently you can get a C+ no problem.
Suck!!!don't take her class unless you are confident for your writing. extremely picked on grammar, hard marker!!
Gooding is no good! She gives quizes every class based on the readings. She's tough. She marks your work based on her impression on you. eg if you are late for class she'll be very strict on your marking. Absolutely unfair teacher. If you are not confident about your writing, definitely do no recommend her.
Not recommended for 1204. English is already depressing enough, yet her theme is based on sad stories. Gives quizzes every class. Make you remember authors' names for final exam. Picks on the little details...Ridiculous!!
She's really sweet and nice, however really picky on grammar. Its basically all she marks but she is helpful and a nice teacher. Only a tough marker.
TAKE THIS CLASS! I was horrible at english but knew i had to take this class for my degree. Elizabeth is so helpful and very positive. English classes at Kwantlen can be sort of intimidating but she was very encouraging and helped me so much with my writing skills.
Good prof! Willing to help you if you want to be. Fair. Treat her fairly and she will do the same. People that don't like her just wanted an easy grade. You need to put the work in and if you do, you will be rewarded.
Great prof and wonderful person. She has a great sense of humor and is incredibly generous. Marks a bit hard but as long as you put in a solid effort in anything and have a good attitude you'll be fine.
Very kind person, she is very sweet and funny in her own way. However, she is a bit of a tough marker but do the readings and homework and you will be fine! Recommended to others!
She's very sarcastic so be prepared for many lame jokes. Harder marker for writing but oral presentations are easy. If you get in her bad books she marks you a lot harder.
Elizabeth genuinely cares about her students and wants you to do well. There are a few assignments and initially it may feel overwhelming but, over the semester she fully prepares you for them. The assignments are reasonable and she is a fair grader. I would definitely take her again! I got a C+ is Eng1099 and in her class I managed to get a B+.
Elizabeth is the best English 1100 prof in KPU. She takes her time to know her students and helps them in many ways. The comments she leaves on the papers are very helpful and her grading system is pretty clear. Very easy to get high marks on her class if you put in effort and communicate with her.
She will go out of her way to help you succeed. Super nice person.
Elizabeth is a good prof for english I am happy I took 1100 with her. My essays got a lot stronger throughout the semester. If you put in the effort you can get a decent mark. However it is english so I did go into this with the mindset if I get a C I am happy because english has never been my favourite subject. Elizabeth is caring and helpful.
Elizabeth is a professional instructor. She prepares class ready all the time and tries to help you improve your English skills as possibly as she can. After I took her class, my grade jumped from C- to B- and I would like to thank to her for her help and glad to sit in her class.
There are a lot of assignments and quizzes every class. The quizzes are easy if you do the readings. (Based off poems and short stories). Good instructor I enjoyed class, but Elizabeth is a hard marker. Doesnt give feedback to improve on assignments unless asked. 1 midterm, 1 research essay, 1 final and a bunch of little assignments.
Elizabeth is a fantastic professor. She makes classes engaging and fun and is always open to opinions and interpretations as long as you can support your thesis. You need to work hard to get good marks, but if you read the assigned material, don't skip classes and follow instructions you will end up with a good score! Great class Elizabeth! Than
She's a really nice genuine teacher and she's a good teacher, but you have to be prepared for the work but she is really fair with it. She is kind of a hard marker though, but she does give feedback. gotta work for a good grade!
Elizabeth Gooding is a very caring professor. She is great at explaining the course content, giving feedback on your writing if asked and developing a connection with the class.
Such an amazing prof. I took her for both my ENGL classes. There is quite a bit of work, but it's manageable. She stays after class during the class if you need help with your assignments. she gives great feedback, and overall pretty easy. ENGL 1100 ENGL 1202
Elizabeth is a kind, smart prof who truly cares about your success. Her modules are interesting and unique compared to other English courses I've had, while her grading is amazing and actually follows the criteria she gives you. With Elizabeth, you can grow as a writer without feeling scared of bias or judgement.
I took her asynchronous online class this semester. She is very detailed and breaks down the assignments, so everyone know for sure what to expect. She also provides detailed feedback. I would recommend taking her class for sure.
Such a good prof, I hated english but loved her class. English was never my strength and I got a C+ in highschool but got an A+ in her class. I highly recommend Elizabeth and shes not a very hard marker.
Prof. Elizabeth Gooding is a GOOD prof. I took a class by her back in Spring 2021 for Animal Literature (Asynchronous), and it was amazing! The course load was very light, as there are a couple of pop quizzes every other week, and the readings were light. Forum postings are mandatory, though. Prof. Gooding is one of the best Eng. profs at KPU!
Let me tell you, I suck at English but Elizabeth made this course feel so welcoming and engaging. All the readings and weekly forums were interesting and she's very clear with what she's expecting on essays and assignments. She gives great feedback. As long as you put in the work, you'll be fine!
DO NOT TAKER HER CLASS!!!!!!!!! TOUGHEST MARKER!!!!! JUST DONT DUDE!!!!!!
It was a dull class. Didn't feel that there was any motivation from her part as a prof. I love English but it felt like I wasn't learning. She's lovely, but I felt like I was taking up her time when I needed help. No hate to her, but I personally wouldn't take her class again.
Elizabeth is a decent prof. The course does not have a lot of assignments, but her marking is subjective. She's very responsive to emails and willing to explain her marking approach if requested. To do well, you have to adapt and complete the assignments in the EXACT way she specified, anything else is not acceptable. I would likely take her again
Best English prof, if you are not good at English then you will have to work hard but she is such a caring prof. she will help through everything. she is good with deadlines and no midterm just one final. gives really good feedback and wants you to learn and do good
Elizabeth is such an amazing prof, she always helps you out if you are having trouble with anything. She's not too hard with her marking. She does give out a lot of readings and quizzes. Overall, she makes English interesting and fun and she is one of the best and understanding prof out there.
good feedback but no help or consideration in terms of learning- reached out multiple times for help and was asked to go to learning centre.. as a teacher I expected better. Never withdrew a course in uni till I took this class; wants work done exactly how she wants it.
Elizabeth gives detailed criteria. If you do not follow it to the absolute letter, you will not get a good grade. she gives valuable and insightful feedback which I have applied to my other course writings. She chooses interesting material for her course and is helpful when you ask for it. Exams were heavier than I expected but were overall fair.
As someone who has never got under 85% in English this class was terrible. I am at a 60% in the course she is an extremely hard marker, and the exam is hard. She offers good feedback but is overall not that great of a teacher.
Absolutely amazing person outside of the fact that she was pro kamala smh she trippin. All assignments are easy although it is a writing class and if you dont write to her exact specifications you won't score very high. Her class was although nice and she cares about how her students are doing overall great prof.
Terrible prof, hard marker, wants essays written the way she does, feedback does not help that much, nor is helpful during office hours
She's a good professor and she's very kind, but she is a hard marker. I usually get good grades in English, usually around 80, but in her class I receive around 60% in the assignments. This is supposedly a entry level university writing, but some of the course materials such as poems and readings can sometimes be difficult to understand.
Great instructor. Class is not hard if you put in the work.
prof is a little bit of a tough grader but overall nice. gives 15min break in class and is forgiving if you are late. stick to the criteria and u can do good but she is a bit picky. understanding about first year and provides support one on one during break. final was not too bad and no midterm.
she wants the essays written exactly her way. she gives detailed criteria for them.
Worst Prof in KPU!!! only accepts the assignment's if it's the way she wants them. So many essays and the exam is unnecessary. I took her based on the reviews and she's not worth it.
