ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. even if you are 2 minutes late she will get mad. Not many papers to write and helpful when needed. Total of about 4/5 essays/papers all semseter. gives you plenty of time to write them not like some instructors who want a paper every class!! Take her class!!! Oh and shes pretty!!
Easy class and super fun. She actually woke me up from sleeping through my class before her. Very chill atmosphere and shes pretty hot so paying attention isnt a drag.
She is a very good teacher. Should take her class if u want some fun. Not much essay, and very clear instuction. ^^
Mrs. Chiles is really cool, a few papers here and there. shes big on attendance, if you walk in late, she'll put you in place. if you cant get a good grade in that class thats your fault, her husband teaches english too hes super cool i've take both of them
GREAT PROFESSOR! There were 5 EASY essays and a simple powerpoint presentation, and trust me the topics were actually interesting to write about. She is very nice and helpful, she always quickly responds to all your emails. Attendance is mandatory and don't be late. sucks she's not teaching 112, b/c everyone loved her. oh and she's good looking too
Really great professor. If you show her that you want to learn, she'll help you but if you show that you don't care, she's not going to waste her time helping you. She gives you all the tools you need to succeed and get a good grade in her class, I recommend her!
Mrs. Chiles overall is pretty cool. Do you papers, and read and thats about it and attendance is necessary She's really helpful too, her husband teaches also, I had him 1st, he'll a lot more down to earth
Ms. Chiles is an awesome proffesor she is very helpful and understanding. I liked her class
Mrs. Chiles was awesome. I had her this past fall, and I got an A in her class. Her assignments are clear and easy, she has a great personality and sense of humor, and she's reasonable. I highly recommend that anyone takes her class. You won't be dissapointed if you do your work and participate :0)
loved this teacher
great teacher! she gives really interesting topics and doesnt get grade really hard. classes are fun and shes pretty hot too!
I loved her class, her assignments are reasonable. The topics are really not that boring. Shes' an easy grader, I got A's on all of my papers and i did them the night before. Overall, you learn a lot, do a lot of work ( i took it in the summer), but its really east to get an A. :)
Ms Chiles is pretty sweet. The assignments are challenging, but not hard, and she doesn't grade them harshly as long as it's obvious that you at least tried to write a good paper. Most importantly, she's rather good looking.
Chiles is pretty friggin' sweet. She's genuinely interested in your success as a student, and as long as you put a decent amount of effort into your work and show interest in class, you're bound to get a good grade.
She makes the class interesting and explains to the students about the up coming assignments. She communicates with her students frequently and listens to them. Over all, she teaches well. She wants you to seriousness and respect fellow classmates' opinions. Take he if you want to learn and work for your grade.
Variety in topics, crystal clear instruction and achievable deadlines. Best online course thus far!
If you want an easy English class take her! She's extremely nice and works with you to get the best grade. Also an easy grader. Only 5 short 2 page essays and 1 final project. Awesome teacher!!
Prof Chiles is AWESOME! She makes ENG 112 way fun and interesting with the topics for the units. Highly recommend her.
Shes veryy Very Easy professor. She knows what shes teaching.Easy A if u attend all of her classes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! I PROMISE U WONT REGRET TAKING HER..
Emily was great. I learned quite a bit about the subject from her. I did work hard, but she made it fun and easy. And she was sweet and kind to everyone. I'd take another class with her any time.
I've taken Ms. Chiles for ENG 111, 112, and now for a lit class. She's amazing, hands down the best teacher I've ever had. Very clear with directions, no surprises, and makes you think about current events, the course, and the topics you're writing about. Very helpful, but doesn't take **** so don't constantly be late or cheat or something stupid like that. Definitely take her if you want to learn how to write a great essay!
Wonderful, fun, caring, a very good teacher, and fun to top it all off.
VERY EASY TEACHER!!!! LOVE HER TAKE HER I ENDED UP GETTING AN A!!!!
She is an amazing teacher. She is very nice understanding. You gotta come to class if You wanna do good.on the tests because the discussions really help u on the test. One of my favorite teachers.
I took her for ELI so there isn't much I can say. The only complaint I have is that she should provide comments with graded assignments so I'd know what to improve on.
I never saw the best teacher like Emily. She is the best teacher in my life. Even though my writing skill is so terrible, i got an A in this class. Love her forever!!!!!!
Great teacher, would highly recommend. Work load was average and challenging yet not too difficult. Responded to emails promptly and was fair.
Great teacher, would come in ready to start class off right even if she wasn't feeling well. Brought the class into a modern stand point by looking at outside videos and material to get the point across. Spent time to get to know her students so she could make class interesting. HIGHLY RECOMEND
This class is really easy. The syllabus says you'll be doing about 12 hours of work a week, but I honestly never spent more than 3. From the perspective of someone who only took it as a requirement to graduate, this class was ideal.
She is not a good instructor! She may be better in person that she is on-line. Not very helpful on assignments.
she would easily take 10 points off every assignment and smile in your face like she has done you a favor!! a terrible grader
Mrs. Chiles is a great professor. She is very nice and is willing to help you whenever you need it. I got an A!!After having a horrible teacher for 111, I was so happy to have Mrs.Chiles for 112.She is best english teacher I have ever had. Take her class!!
Took online. I learned a lot.
Took her online. Reasonable workload. Procrastinated at the beginning, but still got an A. Take her if you want to pass the class and still learn something in the end.
Great english professor.I took her class online and her class was great!It was fairly easy, very clear directions, she's friendly, gives positive feedback and has very interesting topics. You will not go wrong with her class!Just put in effort and time and you will be just fine! Best english teacher I've ever had!!Take her class!!
She takes of points for everything it's not even funny BOTTOM LINE if you are taking this class to just fill up the requirement do not take her take someone else that is easy get the grade and move on with your life.
Professor Chiles was AWSOME!! Loved her class, loved the homework! She's a bit strick about turning things in on time and is critical on her grading. But she is fair, and gives us a lot of feedback in order for our writing to be better! TAKE HER CLASS!!!
Professor Chiles is one of the most engaging and helpful teachers I have ever had the privilege of learning from. She is involved, extremely fair, incredibly knowledgeable, and passionate about her subject! Her composition class is not easy and her grading is critical but constructively so and spot on. TAKE HER CLASSES!..you won't regret it.
If you need to take this class just to get a grade and fill out a requirement. Don't take her she is an alright teacher but honestly compared to others there are better she is extremely critical about your writing and will take off points for anything.
Nice person. More than fair with grades. Does not accept late assignments. If you work hard, she'll meet you more than half way. Extra credit is only 20 points avg'd in with 1000. There's a lot of writing at the end of the semester. Would have like to have seen more comments on my papers. I made major improvements in this class.
Emily Chiles was very helpful throughout the class. I have a horrible time keeping track of my schedule especially for online classes. This class is fast paced and time consuming, so be sure that you can take it. If you want to do well in this class, put in some effort and she will meet you half way.
Seriously one of the best professors and English teacher I ever had! She is fantastic and will guide and help you in anything you need! Very fun and sweet! Yes there is homework but its not all that bad. It's English so what do you expect! Overall GREAT professor!
Very helpful and enthusiastic. I took this class online and she always responded to E-mails. She also left in depth notes on assignments for improvement. It was a lot of writing, but if you follow what she wants exactly you will do well. I found all the links she posted to be very helpful. Great teacher.
Professor Emily is an awesome teacher. Her assignments are all interested and well put. I work very hard for my A, she takes a long time to grade your work. She is very helpful with her feedback, she answers email , and she is always willing to help you. My advice , read all her assignments and go over your MLA rules, grammar,punctuation, etc.
A very good teacher. She knows her material and if you take her class you will love her. Best experience in English class.
GREAT Professor! It is an English class so there is work but that isn't her fault. About 5 essays 2.5-4 pages long and a research paper. TAKE HER. Plus don't buy the book, you won't need it.
Not sure if she comes up with the assignments, but some of the major ones could've been geared towards everyone or at least given options for the topic. Not everyone knows or cares about politics for example. I felt like I was taking a political science, with as much as I had to learn about politics just to understand my midterm assignment.
She is one of the best professors at Nova. I am super glad I took her this semster and I am looking forward to take Eng-112. I highly recommended her :-)
This course is not an easy A. It involves many papers and discussion board posts. With that being said, Professor Chiles was incredibly helpful and very clear about her expectations for the assignments. She was a very understanding grader and provided great feedback that helped improve my skills as a writer.
Professor Chiles managed to find the only 3 topics that I have absolutely no interest and opinion on. I was late on a couple of assignments, and I was okay with not having them graded, but she even refused to give me feedback on how I had done. So far I've been an excellent student in English, this experience was very discouraging. Online course.
Took her for ENG112 and ENG112 a few semesters ago. First semester with her, GREAT! Absolutely amazing, very clear. The second semester I decided to take with her, she was very unclear of what she expected from us and also rude. Take her for one semester, but not another! Hope this helps!!
I've taken two of her claasses. love her! She really made me a better writer. I didn't know I was good at writing until I took her class. Take her!
I took this class online in the 8wk. It was so easy. Proff Chiles responded quicly to all my emails
One the best professors I've taken at NOVA. She is very helpful, if you ask her and gives you feedback for any writing assignment you submit.
This was my first online class. I can't believe how easy it was. I got an A and I suck at English. Take her class!!!!!!!
The teacher is very nice and honest with you. She will tell you where you messed up, but also where you performed. She assigned two 800 word essays over the course and there was also a midterm and a final, both of which were also essays. The material is easy and if you pay attention to her criteria you'll have an A in no time.
I took a 6 week summer course online. She grades fairly easy but will not accept late work and does not give much extra credit. Plus the assignments are all worth a lot of points so if you don't do a couple or are late you won't get a good grade. I submitted everything and got an A. Overall was pretty easy. Took with 2other 8week summer classes.
Professor Chiles is a great professor. This is the second class I've taken with her because she makes things enjoyable. Don't try skipping the reading assignments though because you will get confused.
This was second time taking Prof. Chiles. Even though I am a kinesiology major I enjoyed her class. She is very clear and helpful, passionate about what she teaches and what she expects from you. Attend class do all the work on time and you will get an easy A.
Great online class. Keep on good track and you'll get the A. Do whatever she wants you to do. Easy grader.
It was a lot of work to get an A in her class. She is very specific with what she wants to see in our papers but doesn't leave you lost in any way. Each lecture prepares you to write an amazing essay. She also types up individual feedback for each essay you write. Her course is aimed to improve your critical thinking. I thank her for that.
She is a nice professor. Since I took 12 week online class, there were a lot of assignments. You have to read a lot and provide critical analysis for your assignments. No late assignments or get a zero.
There are many problems with this professor, the first and main problem being her lack of communication. It takes several days to get an email back and often comes back lacking any clarity. Her second problem is that she does not follow her grading criteria, even if you meet the objectives you will still have points taken from your assignments.
I took "Women in Literature" with her last year. She really knows her stuff. Yes, there is a lot of reading but I really liked what we read. There are a couple of papers and two exams but if you go to class and do the reading it's an easy A.
Professor Chiles is a great teacher and you learn a lot in her class. She makes you a better writer. Her feedback is great and she lets you know how to improve your papers. Her grading is very clear and fair. I would definitely take her again for a class again.
I took Eng. 111 online with Prof. Chiles and she is the best! She gives awesome feedback and breaks everything down so that you understand. She followed her syllabus to the letter. What you see is what you get with her.
I took Professor Chiles' eight week online class and its pretty much what you'd expect regarding work load. You have to do a lot of writing but if you're a hard worker it should be no problem. As long as you show effort in your work and you meet the assignment instructions, she gives you an A. Overall I'm happy I chose her for my first ELI class.
She really cares about her students and wants them to do well. I took her for both 111 and 112. She definitely made me a better writer. Take her! She is hands down one of the best professors at NOVA!!!
As long as you show effort and meet the assignment requirements, she will give you an A. She is the easiest grader.
Best Professor ! Take her to improve your writing skills.
Words cannot desribe how great Prof. Chiles is. If you show effort and get the assignments completed by their due date, not only you are going to receive an A but you will also enjoy her class(es). She has definitely made me a better writer and I will be sure to take other class(es) with her if needed.
Highly recommend her! Took an 8 week online course with her and she grades fairly
I hate writing essays and I was surprised that I actually loved her class. She gives feedback on your work which helps in enhancing your writing skills.
Class can be boring sometimes. She has 4 major essays and discussion boards are due the beginning of class. Youll have to print out your paper (rough draft) before class or else youll receive a zero. There will be a presentation (3-5 mins) at the end about your last essay so choose your topic wisely.
If you work full time I do not recommend this professor. She gives a lot of work and has zero tolerance for late assignments, regardless of the reason. It takes her a while to respond to e-mails as well. Her workload is heavy and unforgiving and I do not recommend taking her if you actually have some semblance of a life.
Summer online course. There are too many assignments Due on Sunday, Friday and wednesdays some weeks. Course load to much, Assignments 14 in total a Mid-term and A final . No assignment is less then 600 words and plenty of research is required. If you have no other class take her your brain will be tired! Mistake
Professor Chiles is a great Professor. I took her 6 wk online class, its fast paced but everything was clearly explained. If you do all assignments you will pass this class. She cares about her students, provides good feedback & answers questions quickly. She grades assignments in a timely manner. I would definitely take another class from her.
Great class, really enjoyed it. I took an 8 week class, online, but work was not overwhelming. The last exam of the class was easy. Do the work, put some effort, and you will be fine. Assignments are fun and interesting, and even gives extra credit. I wish there was more of these kinds of professors.
Take professor Chiles for Eng 242. Since this subject was her favorite, you can tell how involved she was in the lectures. Also, since this class met once a week there is no room to miss. A total of 10 discussion boards, 2 extra discussion boards, 1 presentation, 1 literary essay, 1 research essay, and a thesis annotated bibliography paper.
Absolutely take her!! If she's offering an honors class, TAKE IT! The essays that we had in this class were intense; however, they were never more than 1000 words!! We had assignments that made us think critically and I truly enjoyed it. I've taken quite a few English courses, and none of them have been anything like hers. She's a gem to NOVA!
The best teacher I ever had! Her husband Mr. Chiles is also great! She's super sweet and I always looked forward to her class. However, attendance is mandatory unless you have a valid excuse and must turn hw in on time. I have a really busy life and I still managed to get an A, hw is reasonable & she explains material well.
Professor Chiles was awesome! You have to show up and participate, but if you do that, you'll do great! She was sweet and smart and caring.
Professor Chiles is amazing. As long as you do what the assignment asks you'll get a perfect grade. I took an 8 week class and the work was very reasonable and easy. You create an outline to use on the midterm and the final essay is also super easy. I definitely want to take her again.
The format of her class makes the class easier and enjoyable. I just followed the flow and my writing has improved without me noticing. I'm thankful I took this class. If she sees you're trying your best and improving that's all that matters.
Best Professor i ever had. Since I took 8-weeks class, of course, I read and write a lot. However, works are not overwhelm, just make sure that u planned time ahead. As long as u submit all the essays on time, auto A. 20 points extra if u need it. No textbook, sources are given by her except 3rd essay. The final..a joke :)). take her if u want A.
Professor Chiles can be a tough grader. She gives a lot of work and for small mistakes, she takes off many points. Also, It takes her a while to respond to emails. IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR GPA THEN DO NOT TAKE WITH HER.
She was obsessed with page and paragraph length. She always claimed that I had excellent points in my essays, but would take off grading points for not following what she thought was an "appropriate length of a paragraph". Who hyperfocuses on a paragraph being exactly 1/3 of a page? If my ideas were solid, that should be what matters. Weird grading
Firstly, let me start off by saying that I have a 4.0 & Im on the Deans List, I work full time but have always prioritized school. Professor Chiles grading is insane. Shell give you a C & your feedback will be strong points but work on paragraphing, WHAT? Not to mention Im scared that I might potentially fail. I regret taking this class.
Professor Chiles is a really kind teacher. She gives good feedback on assignments and actually is very helpful if you're struggling on your writing. She makes you more comfortable and she isn't a tough grader at all.
Work in this class goes along the lines of you read 2-4 short stories a week, most short (from 5-15 pages), few of them rather long (20-40 pages but these are rare), and post 2 discussions post on it and reply to your fellow peers. That's the process every week, with a midterm, final, and one paper. The work is not hard, just don't procrastinate.
Worst professor I have ever had. She has an obsession with page length, margins, all the little things. You can have a good written paper & its not good enough. & she doesnt even give clear feedback about what you need to fix. this is the only class Ive ever gotten a B in, the rest were As.
This was my first college class and Im so glad I took Prof Chiles. She really cares about her students!!! She expects hard work but she is kind. Her comments on my papers really showed me what I needed to do to improve my writing. I learned so much from her and it is already helping me in my other classes!!
Worst online professor. Does not mentor you if you ask for help. Very disappointed. Effort is not rewarded. You need a full paragraph of your own to pass her class. Tough grader. If your essay is out of topic, it is never be given points. Strict rules. Takes forever to respond to emails. Sad and disappointed.
To be able to pass this class, you need to follow the essential outline for an essay. She will not help you, you are on your own in this class. She will not tutor you or give you constructive criticism. You need to figure out yourself. Takes long time to respond to emails.
Prof. Chiles is an excellent teacher. She really cares about her students' success. I learned so much in her class. Her lectures are pretty interesting and she is passionate about literature. The workload is not too heavy.A lot of discussion boards, two papers, two exams. I would definitely take another class with her.
Professor Chiles was an amazing professor; English is one of my favorite classes and a quality professor is important for any class. I 100% recommend taking any of her classes, and she is very nice and helpful. The classwork was both interesting and not too difficult. Overall, I loved this class and this professor!
Professors don't help with this class and thats because this class was created by collage, so professors can't change anything other than a fair grade which they don't. Exams are hard and ridiculous amount of writing in one sitting. If You have no option for other classes, don't take this.
Dr. Chiles is a professor who cares about her student and the NOVA community. Her course was really fun and I would take another on with her. She actually takes the time to give individual feedback that helps improve your writing and critical analysis skills. She is a wonderful professor for students looking to challenge themselves.
She is a nice lady and tries to keep things interesting. She is particular and likes things to be done a certain way.
Had her for her ENG111 13-week course. She was such an amazing teacher, gave great feedback and the work she provided can be easily done as long as you know how to time manage. I would definitely recommend taking her if youre okay or good at writing. Easy class to pass. Easy assignments. Make sure you participate in class discussions!
Prof. Chiles is an average professor, I wouldnt take her again simply because of how heavily she wanted us to write. Every assignment was a lengthy paper of analyzation of something we read or watched in class. I wouldnt recommend her class to someone who has trouble with writing and following outlines, but other than that prof chiles is nice
She's SO sweet! I personally love English but I have friends who don't and have always felt off about English teachers who swear to change that. Professor Chiles only promises to make it bearable! She really did help me become a stronger writer and she isn't harsh as a grader. Take her for a chill English class!
paper after paper, outline after outline, no room to breathe, no extra credit.
I took her Short Story course in 2020. She is such a sweet instructor, who supplies students with awesome reading samples, and engages them in conversations. She actually asks students their opinion about the readings before providing her analysis. This is a great way to help students refining their critical thinking. She is awesome!
I learned a ton in her class. She made me a much better writer. You need to put in a lot of effort into her class or you will get a bad grade. This class took a lot of my time but I am a better writer for it. The class also didn't require a textbook purchase.
Prof Chiles was originally not supposed to be my prof, but last minute my other professor dropped the class. I am so glad this situation happened though. The only downfall is always having your camera on, but other than that, her classwork is super simple and she explains the papers you are assigned pretty thoroughly. She is also extremely nice.
This was my first asynchronous class and she was as good as you can get with this type of class. Generally an easy grader but, beware, there are many papers and discussion boards. There were at least two medium writing assignments a week plus reading per week. It mostly easy to contact her via email or dm.
The class is not hard. She gives good feedback. I defiantly learned a lot.
she was great professor! I would definitely recommend.
Take her class! You writing will thank you.
Professor Chile provided great feedback and motivation when grading assignments. I greatly appreciated discussions in this class because Professor Chiles leaves them open to view before you submit which helped me understand readings from other students' perspectives. LOTS of reading (use YT for visual help).
She is extremely nice, I would definitely take her again. Really good feedback on my assignments and help me improve my writing skills a LOT.
I would never take this teacher again. She does not give any extra credit, she does not let you retake any assignments if missed. Does not respond to emailed, she only respond to email if she wants to. If you want to learn and pass the class in a good grade then i would never take this class
I'm giving her a 3 because she gave me a 0 on a paper I worked hard for. She flagged it for "plagiarism" although I didn't use any sources other than the ones she gave us. She ran my paper through Turnitin, the AI flagged my work she gave me a 0 and wasn't even trying to see what was going on and was rude. Other than that, her class is easy
She is a really good teacher. Her class is fun. Take her. You will enjoy her class, learn what's necessary and get a good grade.
I took her English sort Stories over the summer. I was coasting with a B, and then came to exam two, which had you write a ridiculous amount of words based on memorization from the short stories, and It was not open note. DO NOT TAKE
She's very lenient.
This class is easy and I improved a lot on my writing. Since I took an online course, you do have to read a lot to expand your knowledge on English, but I didn't mind it as it was expected. She has useful essay preparation assignments which make writing essays very easy and gives clear feedback. Take her if you have the chance.
Professor Chiles runs a challenging but rewarding course. Expect lots of writing assignments, but you'll become a much better writer by the end. unstuck study was a lifesaver for practice tests and writing prep.
Drop this class if you want to have a good grade!
If you do the work and put in the hours, this is an easy class. Do not use AI as she knows her stuff about that.
Professor Chiles is a fair grader and is quite kind, but the course requires a lot of reading and writing with lots of assignments due all the time. But as long as you're diligent it's all pretty easy, I highly recommend her!
Took this online, very easy. 10/10
