Coolest prof. I have ever had. She really listens to her students and goes the extra distance for someone in trouble. I haighly recommend her for someone who is serious about their education. She is outstanding!!!!!!
Awesome teacher. She reaaly cares and helps people who are serious. She can see a dead beat a mile away so stay clear if you aren't serious about school or your future.
Anyone who rates the prof badly did not try in this class. She is willing to go the distance for her students. You get what you give. A poor rating on the prof came from a student who gave little and got the same. She is an outstanding educator.

She is a very fun, and easy going professor! She makes learning fun and there is never a dull moment with her!
She is by far my favorite teacher I have had at GCC. Take her if you get the chance!!
WONDERFUL TEACHER! She pushes you to work harder but knows and believes in her students. Tough grader but extremely fair. I received an A' in her class but I have never worked so hard for something that I didn't want.She was encouraging and inspirational. Funny as well. Coolest Prof ever.(She says that alot... Prof.) TAKE her class.You'll enjoy it.
Mrs. Gwinn is an outstanding educator! GCC should be honored to have her. Lectures are interesting and funny. I actually wanted to go to class. She is extremely helpful and fair. Just do the reading assignments, have an opinion, and turn your papers in on time. She is one of my favorite professors at GCC.
She doesn't let the fact that she is from Indiana hamper her ability to teach at the college level. She is an excellant teacher, but must be constantly reminded that she is not nearly as cool as she thinks she is. Overall, my favorite English teacher ever.
High energy. Funny. Absent lots. Emotional. Loves class discussions.
I have recommended her to so many students that there is probably a waiting list to get into her classes! She's the best! You will actually learn to write really great essays in her class!
inspiring and entertaining
Mrs. Gwinn eagerness to help makes the class much more interesting
Not the brightest bulb in the package, but she is an easy teacher Doesn't require much writing and this is a comp class--easy grader. Hardly any homework.
If you walk away from a class and your writing process or critical thinking ability hasn’t improved, you should check your schedule again because you weren’t in one of Mrs. Gwinn’s classes. She makes learning fun, is always there to help, and truly wants you to succeed. Mrs. G is my favorite professor EVER, period.
She is the most awesome english teacher! She lets you pick on what you write about and the topic you write on. Compared to most other english teachers who make you write on water the whole semester or write poetry.
She is by far the best teacher ever. She is so cool, and half way through the semester you get a least one week off from her class its amazing. She uses exaples from other students from the past(with permission. I am definitely going to take her for 102 next semester.
She is a great teacher. She was a lot of fun and made learning easier. She was very helpful. She is a little emotional, but she is very hyper.
gwinn by far is the most amazing teacher!! she has such interesting lectures and is sooo personable. if your not cracking up and having a great time in her class.. something is wrong with you! she is GREAT!!!
She is an awesome prof. 101 is a composition class and she is totally committed to helping you learn and grow as a writer. She goes out of her way to make lectures interesting. I'm not too sure how easy/hard she is on grading; it's 6 traits and writing has always been easy for me. Very friendly and always willing to help but a little hyper.
I think AMAZING sums her and the class up.
I have taken this teacher before for ENG 102 and I absolutely love her. She treats her students like adults and not like overgrown high school students. She talks to you like she is one of the students. She is an easy grader and she is really nice. She answers any questions and is willing to help her students out with anything. Take her class!
Ms. Gwinn is INCREDIBLE! Greatest English teacher I have ever had! Homework: Cake. Essays: Helps you every step of the way. She will work with you no matter what your problem is. I wish i could take her more!
Emily Gwinn is god damn sexy She has fun sotries to tell and can twist and turn the most oring irritating sotry into a conversation you can truly realte to. Perfect Professor adn great to look at. I hate to sound liek a chauvinist pig but I call it how I see it. Keep it Gwinn. ;)
If you need to take English, you might as well just forget this teacher...Not worth your time!!!
The only reason she is even still teaching is because students seem to like her, for whatever reason I am still trying to figure out. Well, let's just say she isn't as smart as other instructors on campus. Best advice I can possibly recommend is not to go out of your way to take this professor...Get someone else, if at all possible!!!
Very fun professor. you actually want to come to class. she makes learning fun and very very interesting. never will be a boring class, she helps you out whenever, class is pretty easy just do your essays and you'll be fine.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER. She tells her own personal stories and relates it to the class so its easy and enjoying to understand!
Perfect teacher for us slackers! she never shows up and when she shows up she has a large diet coke with her and gets al hyper in class. Take her if you like to have a class that the teaacher barely attends
Best teacher at GCC for english! She's hilarious and relates to the students as well. She makes a connection with each student and is very helpful if there is something that you don't understand. I've learned more in her class than other english classes this far at GCC. Best instructor there hands down! Make sure you take her class!
Emily Gwinn is by far the bet teacher I have had at GCC. Shes not only helpful and nice but she really does make english fun and not text book boring.she applies eng to everyday life and everyone can relate to her.Snag her if you can
Emily is by far the coolest eng teacher i have ever had. She honestly relates everything she teaches to everybody in her class. This is really the only class i look forward to going to. Snag her if you can!
I love her class! We always get guidelines on how to write our papers and enough time to finish and meet the deadline. She's very considerate. Those who hate her are the ones who are always late or never attended her class at all and never submitted papers on time. She taught me not just about how to write papers but valuable lessons in life!
If you can read, you should pass this class. Lots of reading and everyday is a class discussion about the previous nights reading. Due dates are very, very loose. Hilarious teacher!
This woman is brilliant in every sense of the word. She is extremely hilarious, and easy on the eyes. She talks to you not at you, and makes the material easy to understand. Take this class! and sit in the front row, it's worth it.
Abo****ely amazing teacher-one of the best I ever had! Funny, sweet, and knew how to make every minute of class interesting! The "take a brick and make it interesting" type of teacher. Personal and treated every student like an adult and with respect. Also very helpful and accomodating for people with disabilities! :D
I love this teacher! She's hilarious and very open. Also very helpful and accomodating for people with disabilities =)
She is amazing! She makes class fun and lets you choose your topics for every essay. She really cares about all her students and will do all she can to help you pass.
Very sweet and understanding teacher!
Absolutely LOVE Ms. Gwinn!:D Best English (101) teacher I've ever had, allows you to express yourself, so lenient on EVERYTHING! She's hilarious with her daily class discussions,and all you do is 4 essays a semester. You will definitely relate to her "one of the guys" personality. I signed up for her ENG102 class first day classes opened. :D
Ms. Gwinn is a very funny professor. She makes the time in her class go by insanely fast. She lets you write your essays on anything you want. The only I don't like is that she's kind of slow when it comes to grading. Other than that, she's amazing!
Ms. Gwinn is a lot of fun. She is helpful, pretty, lenient, and very sweet. She makes class fun by telling funny stories. She has a great personality. The only down-side is that she doesn't grade papers very quickly. Trust me, you won't regret taking her class.
The teacher mede the class the highlight of my day. She is hillarious. I would reccomend taking her to everyone I know!
She won't just help you with english. she will help you with any aspect of college. integrates her funny stories into her lessons. You write 4 papers and 2 letters throughout the semester. She's amazing. and she LOVES diet coke.
Very understanding. Let me turn my paper in a week late because i kept getting called into work. One time i needed help on my conclusion on wednesday, but was very sick. came to class friday and it was due, and i explained that to her. She felt my forehead and wrote a note on my paper about it. and a tip, she's bored of serious issues, be silly.
It is almost impossible to get in her class. Try very hard, if you get in, congrats!!! Emily is fantastic!
Ms Gwinn is one of those teachers that likes to talk to her students about her life and about what's on the news and gets personal with them. She is very lenient with assignments. She's pretty chill BUT keep in mind that she doesn't grade papers. I took her for 101 and 102 and in those two semesters I only got one of my graded essays back.
she is Amazing!!!!!Gets the class engaged.I mean by day one she will know your namy. On day two she remembers it. Not your typical teacher
Professor Gwin is amazing!! She made the class so interesting. I enjoyed going to her class :) The best instructor ever
She loves what she does, and is funny and helpful!
What a joke. She has canceled class eight times this semester. Eight times!! She doesn't hold us accountable. She doesn't grade midterms or essays. No structure. No guidance. Sure, she is funny, but I'm not paying to be entertained. I'm paying to LEARN! Totally disappointed. I will have to take this class again at ASU just to learn everything I missed in her class
Gwinny is Amazing. Always loved coming to her class. She hates the textbook so you won't need it. Gives you so much time to finish papers. Although, she has a lot going on in her life so bare with her and also realize you probably won't get your papers back. Good Luck getting in her class shes great
Gwinn is a saint. You have to have a non functioning frontal lobe to not pass her classes. You never use the book, her "essays" can be whipped up in twenty minutes. EASY A. Take her if you need some extra credits.
Still one of the best professors I've ever had the pleasure of coming across. I loved her classes and her teaching philosophy. She made me interested in writing. She's very encouraging and extremely helpful. Plus, she's a total babe! I couldn't realistically ask for a better professor. Keep on doing what you do, Gwinn! I'm a lifetime supporter.
Gwinn is fantastic! She is great if you have a busy life and need someone who will be a bit more understanding. I definitely would have failed with out her guidance and understanding. She is a wonderful person and instructor.
She doesn't grade anything. She doesn't show up half the time. She taught maybe three days out of the entire semester. She talks about her life and her dad most the time. Shouldn't be teaching. I wouldn't recommend this teacher to anyone. This is why so many people in college can't write a simple paper... teachers like her.
So what made me stressed was the fact that she procrastinated grading all our papers. I ended up getting my papers back 2 days before class was over & I had to do corrections & a letter last min. NOT HAPPY. She didn't teach & missed class a lot. Their wasn't a point to show up. Plus talked about herself a lot. Great class to take if you don't care
I passed the class but,... I didn't learn a single thing she waited till the last week to hand papers back she didn't follow a single thing in her syllabus everyday was like free time to do whatever you want she never showed up and also attending class was pointless because she just told stories and did not teach anything. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER
Would of been nice to actually learn how to write a paper...
Gwinn is a great person, but not the greatest of professors. The class was easy all you have to do is: read the assigned story, go to class (if she was there), discuss, turn in any assignment you have done, take the midterm and final. I learned a lot from the assignments but the class as a whole was a bit of a joke.
Gwinn is a huge procrastinator! Of the 4 essays we wrote, I ony got 1 back.. It was literally on the last day of class! Seriously? No guidance, no direction.. She doesn't even read your whole paper. She reads half and draws a line when she stops reading. She is very picky with citations so make sure you do them correctly. Stressful class.. Hated it
She doesn't grade anything, she missed a lot of class, and when she did show up she talked about herself a lot.. Not happy with this teacher.
The best teacher ever! She was always there to help, even set time for me in her office for tutoring when I had trouble. Before this class, I had no idea how to write a paper. Thanks to her, I'm a better student.
Gwinn is a great teacher. Highly recommend taking her class. She is extremely helpful as long as you talk to her. Not a stressful class.
I took her 4 Child.'s Lit. Lect's r off subject. I didn't learn a thing from her class. I never got 1 thing back from her. We didn't take a final, we watched a movie. My final project was about 66 pages & I stayed up for days on final's wk reading 23 books & writing 2 get it done on time only 4 her 2 extend the deadline for 2+ wks 4 the slackers.
If you are really interested in learning actual writing skills that will help you in the future, do not take this class. She never graded are papers until the last day of the semester. If you are interested in slacking off and still get a good grade this is the class for you.I believe that I just wasted my time because I did not learn anything.
She was really nice but I didn't learn a single thing in her class. We only had a couple assignments yet they were never even graded, including a 25+ page project. The only grade we got was for attendance. If you're looking for an easy to pass class this is for you but if you're looking to actually learn you might want to opt out on this one.
Emily is really nice, but I did not learn a thing in this class. She talks about her personal life a lot instead of teaching. She cancels class A LOT. She doesn't grade assignments until the end of the semester, so you go the entire semester not knowing what your grade is. If you actually want to learn something, don't take this teacher!
I really liked her class. It wasn't hard and I didn't learn much but I felt very comfortable in her class and it was one of my classes that balanced out my harder classes, as not much is due and her class is very relaxing and stress free. She is very helpful and understanding if something comes up or if you miss class or come late a lot. Good class
We literally did almost nothing and she's very annoying. Talks about her life way too much and doesn't grade papers until the end of the semester and when she finally does she expects and amazing paper and for you to know stuff even though she didn't teach a single thing all semester. It might be an easy grade but totally not worth taking it!!!!!!
Horrible teacher. Very unorganized class. Many times we wouldn't know what we were reading. She canceled class a lot. We only had two tests total, including the final. Lectures were not on topic. I learned basically nothing. No one in the class knew their grade til the week before finals. If you want learn, I'd suggest avoiding this teacher.
Prof. Gwinn is for students who just want the easy A and are not going to be writers. If you want to learn how to write, or your major is literature or writing do not take this instructor. Easiest A ever. Show up and pass.
Prof Gwinn literally missed more than half of the semester. This class is a super easy A, only had to do like 1 real assignment. Kind of over the place, but can keep an interesting lecture.
She is my favorite professor !!! i take two of her classes; children lit. and English 101. She has taught me soo much!! by far the best professors I've had experience with. she wants all of her students to be successful and is sooo kind-hearted to everyone. ill be taking as many classes as i can with her. Recommend this teacher 10/10!
LOVE ms. gwinn! shes da BOMB. I recommend her to ALL of my friends. shes just such a great teacher. One of the best so far (:
if you dont want to learn jack then go ahead. she grades by gender. if youre a male then you automatically are at an advantage. sorry but its the cold hard truth... dont take this class if you want to learn ive taken her for 2 times and she doesnt grade your papers until 2 weeks after class ends! she also doesnt give papers back to give feedback!
If you want to get an easy A and do nothing during class, then you should take this class. I haven't learned anything in this class..... Classes are just filled with different everyday conversations.
Do not take this class, she literally gives your papers back on the last day of school. So many students are wondering what their grade is and whether they have to retake the class or not! It's absurd. She doesn't even go over writing techniques, all she talks about is life and gets off track so easily. If you want a pointless class then take it.
Wouldve be been nice to learn something. She is a nice lady. But I think I learned more about her daughter, how much she hates her sister, and exhusband than I did learning how to write. If you want an easy a then go for it. Kick your feet up and enjoy her comedy special.
Wouldve be been nice to learn something lol. She is a nice lady. But I think I learned more about her daughter, how much she hates her sister, and exhusband than I did learning how to write. If you want an easy a then go for it. Kick your feet up and enjoy her comedy special.
If you want an easy A I suggest that you take this class. We only did 3 essays and they were almost one month apart from each other. She canceled the class once every week! Easiest class I've ever had and I loved how she doesn't care about anything. As long as you turn in the three essays, you should be able to pass with an A. Awesome Teacher.
Want an easy A? Take this teacher. We only did 4 papers the entire semester, in which you have about 3 weeks to do each. She missed class at least once every two weeks. However, throughout all of this kindness, she is still a tough grader, so don't think you did amazing because she will find at least a dozen mistakes. You will hear funny stories!
Fun class! All she does is read Children's picture books but the course is literally "Children's Literature" so that makes sense. You have about 5 assignments overall so don't slack off! One thing I don't like is that she waits until the end to grade things so you never know what your grade is... OH SHE TELLS GREAT STORIES AND IS VERY FUNNY SO PLUS
I love this professor. She is so funny and makes class fun/interesting. Her classes are so laid back and easy! I would take her as your last class of the day, though, because she gets sick often and misses days.
Nice lady but no do not take this class. Shes ALWAYS gone always sick. Class was only 2 days a week n she still missed like 10 days through the semester. Doesnt go over any english techniques, doesnt give you feedback on papers. Youll start a new essay b4 you get your old one back. I learned more about her child, her family, and her struggles.
I had a great time taking this class. Covid had made it online sadly but she was really responsive to any messages or any helped that I needed. Very easy assignments, all requirements are in rubric. If you do it, and turn it on time, done correctly. Youll receive an A+. One of my favorite professors truly!
COVID-19 made the school year exceedingly rough online. Professor Gwinn is an outstanding teacher and I absolutely loved her class. This year has been full of all sorts of emotions for everyone im sure, for me its been negative. Professor Gwinn was extremely accommodating and caring about her students needs I would definitely take her class again
An absolutely wonderful professor. My favorite to be honest. She was so helpful. With it being online it helped a lot having that extra and kind help. Always willing to work with accommodations or mistakes. If you do the work and listen to the rubric and what she wants. You'll get a 100%. Not a hard class at all. I recommend this professor to all.
Do not take this class, she literally gives your papers back on the last day of school. So many students are wondering what their grade is and whether they have to retake the class or not! It's absurd. Very slow on grading, this class was horrible. Very unorganized class. Please respond fast in emails.
Professor Gwinn is such a sweet, caring, and funny human being and she was my favorite professor out of my 5 classes. She replied to all of my submissions with funny or supportive statements, which were always a delight to read, and she is is very lenient with her assignments and grading. I recommend her for those who want a chill/fun professor.
This class is very frustrating only because this professor can't respond or keep up with grading. Prof. Gwinn lacks her job as a teacher. It's been over a month since she's graded assignment/essays or even answer my multiple emails regarding questions on her assignments she gives out. This is ridiculous!
She hasn't graded any of my assignments since October and has been gone "sick" for most of the semester. She doesn't respond to e-mails. I am not sure if I will pass this class as none of my essays have been graded so I turned final papers with no changes as I didn't know what to correct. I'm beyond frustrated as she won't grade anything or respond
Good luck ever getting a response or your work graded to know if you even passed the class. Class has been over for a week now, and 7 assignments are still yet to be graded. this is insane. I do not understand what the hold up is and why she won't respond. I'm at a loss of what to do at this point, or if I even passed the class
Overall great teacher and wonderful person who truly loves what she does. There is ample reading material to choose what to write on, the questions she asks are clear, and the work is light while providing just as much meaning and learning as other teachers with twice the workload. Due dates are forgiving, and there's extra credit! Wonderful class!
The class is much harder than it needs to be due to zero communication, lack of grading & respect for all the hard work & time put into this class. Lots of assignments & busy work which is time consuming. Nothing is graded until after the semester is over which makes it impossible to know your progress. I wouldn't take her again nor recommend her.
Class is canceled often due to chronic migraines, but the lectures are made up other days, and anything due the day of cancellation is extended. Really understanding, and helpful.
Mrs Gwinn barely responded to emails, the assignments weren't graded in a timely manner to actually know where you stand.
I started this course in January 2024, it is now April, almost May and she has graded 7 out of 29 assignments this whole semester (It ends in two weeks). She doesn't have the last weeks even in Canvas so I am at a standstill waiting for assignments to come. I am taking her course for ENH 242. It's the same. She's graded 4 out of 29 assignments.
The semester I had her was easy because she was always canceling class because of personal things so I'm not sure if that played into her leniency and easier grading but it made my life easier. Only downside is she talks sooo much during lectures and goes off topic every single time so it was not very enjoyable to say the least.
Professor Gwinn's approach to grading papers is harsh and inconsistent. I've tried to reach out for help and an explanation for a few assignments but got no response. When she does grade she does not give a clear explanation on the grade if asked for one.
Professor Gwinn has a mixed track record - some students find her very helpful, while others are frustrated by the lack of timely grading and communication. However, the class can be an easy A if you follow the rubric and use tools like unstuckstudy for prep.
I hated this professor. She waited months to grade, never gave any feedback, and never responded to my emails. She hasn't responded to a single one. Her canvas was difficult to navigate as the main page was often cluttered with extra optional assignments. She clearly did not care about her students nor the course as a whole. Avoid her!
