This woman is a horrible teacher for 102. She has no idea what she is talking about, and if your opinion differs, than you are clearly wrong. She gave the majority D's on the first major paper, and most of the class dropped out. From 25 people, there are less than 10!

Wouldn't take again

Took her class online and it's probably one of the biggest regrets I've had this semester. I ended up dropping her class because 1) she doesn't care about her students passing, 2) her grading system is awful, 3) she's a TOUGH grader. I took ENG101 at a uni and received an A. This class made it seem impossible to get a B. Take somebody else!!

Professor Turner is not for the light hearted, she teaches a hard class. But it's incredibly well structured, and I found that the hard deadlines spanned out over time really kept me engaged. She gives good feedback, even if sometimes she won't take any other interpretations of the reading but her own. Your work must be to her standards, good luck

DO NOT TAKE This was the worst class I've ever taken. She is an extremely hard grader. I felt like I was set up for failure. No matter how hard I tried nothing was good enough. This teacher needs to get over herself this is a 102 class at Harper not Harvard. Even if this is the last class with openings don't take it.

I lasted 2 months, had an F the whole time. One of the worst prof. EVER. She makes her assignments due at 7, whenever she pleases (other prof. have 11:59). You'll have to read a book in a day, write a 5 pg. essay in a day, and you will have a bunch of tests. If your answers aren't like hers, you're wrong. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! Good luck if you do

Taking Dr. Turners class was excruciating. I am a disabled student at Harper. I have accommodations, and they LEGALLY need to be accepted, but she barely complied. Her dates for homework were always vague and on strange days of the week (one time on a national holiday). She liked my essays, but when it came to tests, the grades were poor.

Dr. Turner is way too tough. If what you write is not what she thinks is correct, even if you have evidence to back yourself up, you are just wrong. She asks you to write in MLA format, but if you don't follow her specific rules for it, you are wrong, even if every other source says you're not. Her feedback is pretty vague.

Dr. Turner was probably one of the rudest educators I have ever had the chance to meet.

I absolutely loved her classes ( both ENG 101 and 102). If you're trying to actually LEARN how to write better do take this class. If you're just looking for a grade, this class is not for you. You will have to use your head and work hard but also the payoff of being better at writing will be there. Exceptional teacher. Just not for everyone.
