Great teacher! Takes a difficult subject (writing) and helps people to succeed. Even though she doesn't skimp on the amount of work, the pace isn't too bad.
Great teacher, took her online english class and she was always helpful if a problem arose in the readings, and got back to questions quickly.
A very helpful instructor and i feel i have benefitted from taking her course.
I took her online course... Mentally stimulating.. Sexy mind... Grade A instructor
Great prof. very clear on everything fair amount of work but not too bad as long as you don't save it. Answers all questions timely which helps. Recommened
Take this calss! She is an amazing teacher. The best english teacher yet. She is awesome online! TAKE THIS CLASS!! You won't be sorry!
Very good class, I took online. Seminars very thought provoking. Great class, I highly recommend.
Take her class! Even if you don't need to, find a way to take her while at Gavilan. She is one of the best professors at Gav. The classes are always fun and interesting, especially learning about the different theories of literature--like psychoanalysis and Jung theory. Always fun, good pace and work load, and very, very, fun.
Excellent class! Online class is well worth while. Crook is an amazing teacher. I highly recommend this class!
Outstanding Instructor. Learned a lot from her. The class as a whole is mentally chalenging but easy once over all the difficult learning.
Erin was very accessible and answered all of my e-mails, whether or not they had anything to do with the class. I took this class online, so I've never actually met her.
i took her class cause it fit into my scheadule, and i need the class for gen. ed. but at the end of the semester i was almost comtemplating changin my major to english, it was that fun. never have i enjoyed being in a class so much before, as i did her class.
Erin made this class a blast to take. Especially since it was during the summer. Dare I say...I was almost FUN!?!?
Good online class to take
Great class! Highly recommended!
One of the very best! A+ I took her class online, but I think shes hot!
a VERY good teacher. couldnt have asked for someone else. i love how she makes you think about everything and i mean every thing. with her you look at the symbolism of even the smallest detail. i love that!!
she is the best! she really gets to know her students and know how to get through to people.

My first on line class! Erin was excellent. She answered every question in a timely manner and made me feel like a pro! I look forward to taking another class with her.
Erin is an excellent instructor. She is interested in her students and is very encouraging. She has the ability to guide her students to improve their writing skills. I particulary liked the American Culture theme she used for Eng 1A. The controversial topics were interesting to explore.
She is a great teacher, makes the class fun and keep us interest on many topics that brought up to the class. I'm trying to enroll on one of her classes next semester
she's cool, kept me interested the whole time. I liked the discussions a lot
She's a great teacher!!
What a fun and enlightening class. I loved that we read Harry Potter - I totally got addicted to Harry after that. Ok, so I took the class a while ago but I was just remebering what a great experiance it was.
This was my first online class. Erin was a wonderful instructor who took the time to work with everybody. She was very attentive to students and getting to know them. She always kept you thinking and made you actually want to get into your work.Responses were always prompt, and she never hesitated to give help when needed. Very down to earth. A++++
very helpful and knowlegable
Great fun teacher!
Erin really made class fun.I really liked that she let us vote on the book that we would be reading. It made a difference because it was a book I was interested. She was a great listener and provided lots of feedback. It was the best english class I've ever taken.
It was a great way to start off my first year of college...I had a blast!!
so Erin is awsome and she is totally cool, makes you work but is fair at the same time. and she is pretty hot.
She's a great teacher! She's fun and actually loves her job and classes. I would recommend her for anyone needing to take an English 1B class. I took it only because I needed to, but she made it interesting I have to say. Work wise there's a maximum of 4 essays you have to do, the rest of the homework is relatively easy.
Erin is one awesome teacher!
She is awesome! most knowledgable English teacher at this school. She really teaches you how to write and she makes it fun. You won't be disappointed with any of her classes.
Erin is okay if you're into passionate, knowledgeable, helpful & engaging teachers. If you're looking for an "easy" class, she might not be for you.
Erin is an awesome professor. I enjoyed the class.
online class - great teacher, interesting book selection and essay topics.
She's a great online teacher. She makes the class fun and interesting. She makes people become great writers. I really liked this class.
great teacher. never liked english but she made me enjoy it. there was things i never understood and had been tought many times not until she taught me i actually now can say i know what i am talking about
She's the whole package. smart, cool, funny, pretty and interesting. I loved this class. Don't miss this class, but sign up early cause it fills up fast I heard. My friend was on a wait list and didn't get in.
She is really easy and if you need more time she will give it to you. She is fun and you learn a lot in her class. She is an awesome teacher.
She is amazing. I m kinda in love with her.
Love her.
Awesome. Love her. She actualy care about her student. I will take her classes again.
I had Crook online so I can't really say what she is like. She seemed like a very understanding teacher and gave me feedback on all my work. She made it clear what had to get done and the website was easy to navigate.
Great prof. Good sense of humor. Really understanding. And she's pretty fine too, nice en easy on the eyes. I liked that class and I don't really like English.
she's okay, she is very understanding. I liked the class. I wrote more then I thought I could.
Great professor! She makes the class very interesting by her teaching style... different than any other English class. Her classes fill up fast so register ASAP! Highly recommend this professor!
She inspired me and made me want to write more, and better. She challenged me to dig deep. I didn't know I could write like that. Thanks, Professor Crook.
Best teacher I have ever had. She's extremely real and full of information. She's encouraging and loves deep class discussions. I always felt comfortable to share and ask questions, and my writing really improved. I honestly wish I could take her class for every subject!
Que dulce es ella. She is amazing. I never wanted to go to class before so much. I will look forward to her class so much. I never missed a day.
Wow! I love this class. I am taking Eng. 2F on line with Miss Crook and its great. I am really getting into this class and writtig. I love it.. Erin is a very nice teacher and really lays out what we are learning and doing with all the books we read.
She is WONDERFUL!! she's such an inspiring person that will tell you like it is. I really enjoyed her class. By far the best teacher I've ever had. she helped me find the love to reading that I've had lost during high school. I really recommend her class..you wont regret it!!
Such a great and helpful teacher
I have been fortunate to have such great English professors at Gavilan. Erin is truly passionate about writing and teaching writer. However, not to point that she believes all her students will become English majors; that's why she is so great. If you are willing to put the effort into this class you will become a better writer.
Ms. Crook is a gift to freshmen and new students entering college!
Erin in great! If you're having trouble with writing essays, she is the one! Most teachers assign you a topic, but she lets you choose them; anything and whatever interests you!! I can now write a 3+ page paper without any trouble. She is a lot more laid back than most teachers. I learned a lot from her class and she helped me grow as a writer.
took her class onlinend thought she was bombass. Then I saw her and I was like aww that's her??? Ill be a skoolboy for that. Best believe imma be in that English 1B. Imma sit right up front.
She's really really smart, and gets you to think about stuff in a totally different way. Fun class!!
had her of 440 grate teacher pushing you just hard anuff to get it dune but not to hard. fun, understanding. ezey to talk to
SHE IS A VERY INTERESTING PERSON I ENJOYED GOING TO CLASS AND HEARING HER LECTURES SHE IS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND I TRULLY RECOMMEND TAKING ANY OF HER CLASSES SHE OFERS BY FAR A GREAT TEACHER
Got her again this semester! Sweet. She is ridiculously smart and makes the class fun. Get any class with her. You won't be sorry. Best teacher at Gav, maybe anywhere
She is a good instructor. There are essays to be written. Very inspirational woman and is respected by students. P.S. She's not hot.
Awesome teacher. the reason why I want to be a teacher.
She makes everything so clear, definitely loved taking her class!
Erin Crook amazes me. She has a background in child development and applies it to the college classroom. She's easy going and clear. The essays we wrote were on sex and gender, and I liked them a lot. Take her id you want a great English 250 experience
Although attendance and participation are mandatory, it's the most fun and interesting time you spend in any class. Not an easy A, but the work doesn't feel like work. This teacher cares about her students, and in the autonomy she gives them to follow their own interest and passions, it shows. She'll help you fall in love with learning again.
Amazing teacher just that all I can say but don't mistake her kindness for weakness she'll make you look like a fool if you try to lie out of assignments
she is so cool. she likes debate and she wants students to think for themselves, idk lol i am not used to that. she wants us to have our own opinions, but only if we know what we are talking about. she will make you work hard but it will be fun. she inspires you to want to do a good job, not even for a grade ,but just because you care about it
She's an amazing teacher and I'm glad that I had her.
She's a cool, funny, caring instructor that doesn't do the same things as normal instructors would do. She's very laid back with her work that she assigns. Just an awesome instructor overall.
She's the best teacher I ever had. I disjt expect to fall in love with writing but I did. She made me see how important it is, not for a grade but for life. As she always says, "Stories will save the world!" I thought it was just another line at first, but she really believes it and she made me a believer too. I loved her class for so many reasons.
She was amazing. She made me view English in a different way. She is always late but make sure you show up in time. There is always discussions so make sure you participate it will make class more interesting.
The best English professor on campus. Her class is relatively easier than other English classes. There is a good amount of reading/essays, but its an enjoyable atmosphere that makes it easier to get through. Go to class, do your work, youll be alright.
Very easy grader. She assigns your research paper at the beginning of the semester instead of the end. Which is good because you get it out of the way and finished earlier. The only thing is that she takes a long time to grade and update work and she constantly cancels class.
Best teacher I ever had, ever. I dont know how she does it but she makes you forget youre in a classroom. Shell ask a question and get the students balls deep into discussion, and then somehow, no matter what youre talking about, will relate it back to the days lesson in some profound way. I learned so much in that class, not just writing. A++
Erin (she likes to be called by her first name) is a good instructor. That said, she's very slow to grade and isn't particularly responsive to emails, but when she finally does answer your question or give you feedback, it's very detailed and helpful. I'm not that good at English, but her class was easy enough for me. Show up, you'll be fine.
She is amazing, one of the very few teachers that actually cares about the student before anything else. If you're having a hard time due to life's circumstances, she is very understanding. Her lectures are so eye-opening and she is so open minded. Her lectures are more like discussions and not her talking nonstop. She is funny and extremely smart.
I had Erin online during the summer. No lectures. Most of the papers are based on personal experience and observation but there is some research too. Very lenient on assignments and offers so much extra credit. The only bad quality she has is responding to emails and grading assignments late. Make sure to read the books of the course ahead of time!
Professor Crook did wonderful with teaching this semester. Really enjoyed her class, I was slightly worried I would get a lower grade due to how many assignments there were, it was tough to catch up. I took a condensed course so it added a lot to the workload. However, she offers extra credit opportunities and is very clear with her requirements.
I really enjoyed her class. She had great topics. This class is easy to pass, but only if you do the work. Most of the work consists of essays and discussions. She gives good feedback on almost every assignment and is easy to reach out to.
Professor Crook was amazing. I took the accelerated 8 week course. Lots and lots of assignments. But learned so much from her about writing. And get ready to write because you'll be writing a lot! This was a great class, it was focused on childhood versus adulthood theme. If you have to read the gardener in the carpenter good luck lol. Loved her!
Erin crook is an absolutely amazing teacher and she wants you to win. She wants you to succeed and she gives you the opportunity to turn in work after receiving feedback to make corrections. I took a hybrid class where it was half the time so I did have quite a few assignments due a week. I'm also taking three other classes and it was manageable.
Erin was a great instructor. She gave clear essay directions, fair (but not too easy) grading, and genuinely cared about her students. Her TA, Josh, was super helpful and replied to questions within minutes. I'd definitely take another class with Erin:)
I took this class my first semester back at school and I was very intimidated, however Prof Crook set me up for success. She provides excellent scaffolding to students and was able to draw out work I didn't know I was capable of. Love her.
