Overall the best professor I have had in a long time. She is very clear on what she expects, and gives the average amount of work. Her grading is very clear cut, she makes attending class fun (she also is a cutie, which makes going to class not so bad). In short I would take her again if she taught English 1A at my school.
Erin was one of the best English professors I've ever had. Just two essays through out the semester, and a few summaries. She gives great feedback if you go to her office hours to review your essay or summary. She is also young and fun, and actually makes English fun. Her being hot is just a plus.
Professor Danson is a sweet heart! She is by far my favorite professor I have ever had. She is not only super nice, but also super helpful. Erin taught so much, and I could not be happier with my experience in her class. My mind is set to wait for her to teach 1A because I cannot see myself going to someone else's English class if it's not hers.
Danson really gave us great feedback on our work and even gave numerous opportunities for extra help. And she explains the material very well. I would totally recommend her to other students.
Overall she teaches well. You have to work extra hard to earn a good grade. Professor can be moody.
Was Only in here class for two days and felt like I was in elementary school. Didn't come to college to be taught like I was a little kid. She says she only like to teaches adults, then I think she should treat us like adults, and not kids. I wouldn't recommend her.
Erin is one of the best professors I've ever had. She clearly explains the prompts to her essays and gives good feedback. Definitely recommend her.
I disliked English all throughout high school & expected to hate it more in college, but surprisingly I loved this class. Danson is an amazing teacher. She is very helpful & nice. Her assignments are not difficult & she gives great feedback on your essays. If you have trouble with essays, just ask her for help and she'll clarify on what she wants.
So far, Danson is not bad teacher she helps you when you need it and i did not the book that much. Most of the articles are online
I am not confident with my English, and I am not good at writing. I told Professor Danson about my worries, and she kept helping me during the semester. I'm so grateful that I can be in her class, and I choose her class in English 1A as well. Plus, I can see the improvement in my English. If you are a hard-working student, you can get a good grade.
She is very helpful and very clear about everything she does and expects from her students. She's super nice and actually listens to feedback from her class. My favorite part was that she would do individual conferences for essays and would give great feedback. I would definitely take her again.
Professor Danson is such an amazing professor she's so nice. However, be prepared for the work and have your textbook with you you will be doing a lot of reading. If you get stuck she will be able to help with any issue you might have with the assignment. Overall, Professor Danson is an awesome Professor. I am going to take her again for ENG68.
Very attentive to her students & their needs. She is also very helpful & gives individual conferences on big assignments. She's even a good listener if you want to talk about anything, even things that don't have to do w the material. However, I feel like for our final(research paper) she was not very helpful/available for us. Would still recommend
She is the best english professor at MT. Sac i took her for eng 68 and 1a and she is the best she loves films and talks about them. a lot of the discussions are about films and modern news take her she is the best you don't need to read she will give u a 4 question quiz and won't put it in the grade book!
Professor Danson was amazing! She's always there when you need her. She'said not boring. She grades easy on the homework and fair on the essays. The essays were fun to write. There was an in-class essay for the mid term and an in- class essay for the final which were pretty easy. You have to go to the writing center at least 4 times.
Prof. Danson is a kind person. She is willing to talk to you and give you some idea. The essay is not that hard, but she won't give you high grade if you write them casually. However, you could show your effort like going to writing center or having a conference with her to prove you work hard.
I had professor Danson for English 68 and 1A and she is just phenomenal. She really helped me to become a better writer and she took the time to read over your essays. She is very easy and personable to talk to. She allows you to receive extra credit by going to the writing center as much as you would like.
Honestly she is the best professor and super easy to get along with !!!!! ... she's pretty hot btw
Ms. Danson is one of the best teachers for English 67. She is very clear on lectures. She also does a lot of group work when it comes to revising an essay. She is very understanding and she is so helpful. Very nice and easy laid back teacher. I would surely take her again and highly recommend her to anyone that struggles with English.
Ms. Danson is very clear with grading criteria. I never left class unsure or confused. If you need extra guidance, just ask. She isn't an easy grader, but if you follow her expectations you will be fine. This is he first English class that I felt confident in and it is all thanks to Ms. Danson and her teaching style. Don't be scared to participate!
Erin was the greatest introduction to Mt Sac I could have ever asked for. Syllabus is concise and taught in a manageable manner so you'll never be lost . You're going to move around and meet a lot people. Makes it easier to make friends and flirt with girls aha. Currently excelling in 68 because of her and wishing she'll come back next semester.
My all time favorite professor at Mt. Sac. She is one of those professors you can rely on for school purposes (Help, Extra Credit, Attendance) and also out of school problems (Personal). She gives you a chance for 20 points worth of extra credit earned through Writing Center visits. You work for your grade in this class. 5 Papers. Easy Homework.
Incredible professor and even more incredible human-being
Taking Erin Danson was such a breeze. There is no surprises; she lets you know everything before hand. She also helps you a lot with your essays.
She was really cool and honestly the class is interesting! I'm taking her again forsure !
The best professor I've met in this college! She is young but experienced. She has a class tutoring which is helpful. Her class is very clear and easy to understand. My writing make a great progress After her class,!!!
She's great. Sometimes she'll let you out early if done with work. Stays after class to help others. Had her every Friday. Essay due every two weeks. Some group work.. Topics are interesting. Ask questions if confused. Very approachable. She's pleasant to the eye.
She's one of the best professor at mt sac. I suggest you take her if you want to master at writing essay. I promise if you take her class you will be come a good writer. I took her for eng 68 and currently taking her for 67. My writing has improve and she willing to help out outside of class. Take her if you can. You wouldn't regret it.
If you're a student athelete I would not take her class, she expects so much outside classroom work and doesn't understand if you can't do it because of your sport, the way she grades in also trash. She likes people that don't stop talking in class as well so if you know how to mind your own business don't take her (:
Honestly I'm not very good at English, but her class is fairly easy. Interesting & meaningful topics +always give instructions before you start. Just follow the instructions to express your thoughts. Grade based on 4 take home essays +you can visit writing center to get some extra credits. In class essays(mid&final) and quizzes are all open book
I learned a lot from this teacher!! Definitely recommend taking her class. She offered extra credit and made sure everyone understood her lesson.
Nothing but good things to say about Erin. She is a great teacher and cares very much about teaching. She is a fair grader and gives wonderful feedback and she does one on one tutoring with all her students multiple times throughout the semester. Only reason I got the grade I did is because I wrote my essays a little last minute. oops. I recommend
I took Professor Danson's class back in 2015 for English 67 and she was so awesome! I really liked how she gave concise, helpful feedback on assignments and was very kind. We had 3 or 4 major essays, many journals, and a few summaries as homework. The textbook was needed everyday in class for reading articles. I recommend students to take her class
350 characters is not enough to describe what an amazing professor Danson is! She's works with her students a lot! And if you don't understand something she will work with you until you completely understand! Would 100% recommend her!
She is amazing!!! I totally recommend her. I thought it was gonna be hard for me because english is my second language, but she made it so clear and easy. She brings up interesting topics for the essays, and class was never boring.
If u want to improve ur writing, take her. She teach u step by step until u understand it. For another thing, how do u feel when u study with a beautiful professor!
I took her for a hybrid class, i skipped English 68 and went straight to 1a. expecting it to be super hard but it was the easiest class ever. she helps a whole lot and i would take her for English 1c if i could. AMAZING teacher.
amazing took her two times and she was just as amazing the second time. would take again if I could! best professor at the school hands down
Erin is the most caring and smartest professor i have met. she will not stop until she feels every student has learned. Also she has so much time planned to improve ones essays that it is IMPOSSIBLE for one to fail this class. PLS DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND TAKE HER CLASS
I took Erin for English 67, English 68, and English 1A by far one of the most helpful teachers I have ever taken !!!! i highly recommend her for any type of learner because she makes sure everyone understands the topic and if you don't she is super approachable. She is super nice and truly cares about her students. Our class turned into a family.
Professor Danson is the best professor you could take for English!! She's very welcoming and hilarious. I took her for ENGL67 and she was very helpful. There are 4 take home essays, a in class essay for the midterm. The final is also a in class essay, but it's optional and only recommended if you want to bring your grade up. And there's homework.
She is the best professor at mt sac! 4 essays, some grammar quizzes, 4-5 journals. Helpful and clear notes in class. Peer review and in class tutoring review before she grades the essay. The first essay I got a C, the second and the third I got Bs, and the last one I got an A. She can really help you improve your writing! TAKE HER CLASS!
She is one of the BEST English teacher out there, Verrrry helpful , caring and easy to pass if getting all the work done .
She's very easy going and a very understanding person. Topics were pretty easy to understand and relatable. This class is going to take some work, but it's worth it. Professor Danson is the perfect teacher for those who are not great writers or for the people who need a little extra help.
the topics she gives are great and really have you thinking I recamend her 100% she so real, and help ful and wants her students to pass her class
An absolute delight! Love her, she is so intelligent, helpful, & encouraging. I wish she thought 1c.
M.s Professor Danson is an amazing professor hand down. She has helped me become a better writer. You can get a hold of her outside of class and even if you have personal problems.. she is always there for you... Her lectures are so amazing. when I took ENG90 the topics were very psychological. Her lectures are very interesting. AMAZING!!!
Well.. you better not to chose an easy professor. You will have problem when u go to 1A, especially when u get a harder professor than her. She is not a really good professor as some kids say.
She is very nice and an amazing professor. VERY HELPFUL PROFESSOR FOR SURE HANDS DOWN
Took Erin for English 90 and I fell in love with and took her for English 1A. She is relatable and have psychological easy topics. Erin gives extras credit and helps you with your essay outline. Dont miss peer essay review, your grade would drop. She also lets you take test with headphones.
GREAT CLASS! Erin always has great feed back on essays, very clear understandable has a good attuide good lectures and so manys for easy extra credit. It was a pleasure being in her class :D
GREAT PROFESSOR! I think best of the best English teachers Ive ever had internet entire education. I would normally get bored in English classes, but she chooses real life cases to engage your writing! So this ENGLISH CLASS IS PERFECT! Shes young too , so she can relate with students even more and makes you meditate on the topics which is good!
best professor hands down
Erin is amazing! She makes classes fun, and in-class discussions are always interesting and engaging. She also gives clear assignments, clear grading criteria, and really helpful feedback. Some essays can be hard too but not too bad. Readings are required for exams, and attendance is important too. Overall, a very good and inspiring educator. :)
She's definitely a solid professor to say the least. She's very kind and easy-going. Class discussions were always interesting and fun. If you do the reading and put in the basics of the essays, which she will teach, you are probably going to pass if not get a good grade. She really understands how to help and prepare you. Definitely recommend.
LOVE this professor!! Erin never gives up on you, took her in the winter and she literally made me enjoy writing. Her topics are so interesting this class made me grow as a student and learn how to write for other classes that I am taking now!! shes so caring please take her you will learn! & pass
Erin was one of the best teachers I've had. She genuinely cares about not only about the grade we get but also the fact that we're learning. She makes an effort to keep the content interesting/important for students. She also has us assess our writing and give her feedback as to how we felt we did and how she could improve. Learned a lot+is cool af
I dont like writing, she made me enjoy her class, and her class was never boring she is a great teacher overall.
really good
An overall phenomenal professor! Gives opportunity to make adjustments to the syllabus. Readings were all psychological & self-improvement topics, all interesting! Will teach you the ins & outs of writing an essay. She enjoys classroom participation & partner/group work. 5 Essays. Reading quiz for each reading. HW - Reading, essays, & summaries.
In Eng80, she gave great tips to improve your writing skills. She will help you become more confident with writing essays, summaries, and using MLA format. She is extremely helpful and will give great feedback. Few items are graded for 80 since this class is non-credited; however, I do recommend taking this class for additional tips and assistance.
Erin is my favorite professor. She helped me through so much during my fall semester and I look at her as a friend. Her class was amazing, she helped me become a better writer and person. She cares SO much for all of her students and she will help you with anything you're struggling with. We wrote a lot of papers but she helped us with each step.
She is very understanding, she likes to use her life experience as examples. Helps improve essays. Overall an enjoyable class. She changed my thoughts about English.
Professor Danson is one of the best teachers at Mt. SAC. She really tried to put herself at the students level and is really understanding. She had 1 on 1 conferences and her homework, when given, is fairly easy. Her class has reading quizzes, however, If you pay attention in class they are extremely easy.
attend class and pay attention to everything she says
Professor Danson's class is straight forward. She gives clear concise guidance for assignments that need to be turned in. She is very personable & loves what she does. I wasn't really looking forward to taking english but after taking her class I would definitely take her's again. If you're looking for an English 1A professor I highly recommend her
I never liked english classes until professor danson. After each paper she would give clear feedback on what to improve. If you really try and dont fall behind you will receive an A. Not too much reading but just the right amount.
Prof. Danson was a solid professor. I ended up with an 87%, but was aiming for an A. From my understanding, she only gave 2 students an A on their essays throughout their semester, so it seems like a B is normal. She gives video feedback, which was nice as well. She's very understanding, and this class was pretty chill for a non-zoom style class.
Amazing professor. She gave us really interesting nonfiction texts to read, and the essay prompts were really good. I'd say she's pretty lenient when it comes to grading and has clear rubrics, so it's pretty easy to get an A. She also is really sweet and gives video feedback. I would definitely take her again!
so approachable, helpful and kind. The papers are fun to write about based on you and ur thoughts and opinions on things and matters that will definitely get you thinking. the reading is normal and books are not philosophical they will interest you. I highly recommend her you will do great assuming u put the effort.
She was my first professor after I quit college, she is now the reason I am about to graduate. You will not regret taking her. Best professor I've ever had.
Professor Danson is one of the best English teachers I've had! She's very chill, and caring, and gives great feedback on your assignments so that you can improve your writing. The essays circulate around interesting topics that will get you thinking. She is always available to help you grow so don't be afraid to ask for help!
Professor Danson gives really good feedback and gives interesting essay topics. Her assignments were easy to complete but time-consuming. She does allow late work and only docs 5% if late.
Professor Danson was incredibly kind and had a genuine concern for the students and our results by allowing some late work and providing excellent feedback. You won't regret enrolling in her class if you wanted to take English 1A.
She always was willing to help and her feedback was awesome! I would take her again!
Explains material well and gives good feedback.Very understanding and open to any questions/help you might have. You'll need to work hard and turn in work on time but the work is do-able if you prioritize, work is really good to know in the sense that you can apply the subjects outside the classroom. Very kind and caring DEF RECOMMEND!!
I took this class in 6 weeks and Prof. Danson organized the class well. Since it was fast-paced and I took another 4.0 credit class simultaneously, I emailed her often for extensions and she was very understanding. Her essay format helped me a lot with crafting my essays, and I'm still using them in ENGL 1C right now. I maxed out my EC to get an A.
I took Professor Danson's online winter course. She is kind, she grades quickly, is very unerstanding if you reach out, and assigns interesting readings. There were four essays in total and I got decent grades for them because of how clear the grading criteria is and how helpful her feedback is even though I'm not the best writer. Highly reccomend!
No one gets a perfect score on any of the 4 essays but she's definitely open to letting you try again! Makes you do outlines and having you go to the Writing Center or meet with her (mandatory). If your essay is just barely shy of the 4.5 page minimum you get a 0 but you can resubmit. If you can produce perfection, go ahead
very terrible and strict teacher
Professor Danson is very understanding and gives good lectures. You must participate in class with groups and by doing this only made me want to keep going to her class. Overall shes a great professor and very caring, I recommend taking her class.
Terrible, If you have other priorities and things to do, do not take this class. All I can say is terrible.
bad just bad
Terrible teacher, so much work.
I do not recommend if you have a life.
Save yourself the time, I worked hard all year and still failed.
You will never get a perfect score on essays tough grader, I am not sure how she has so many good ratings.
The work load is insane, if you have a busy life, do not recommend at all.
The class is very dependent on 4 essays and if you didn't do a good job on an essay, it will tank your score heavily. She also does not give a lot of extra credit and the one she offers is very minimal. She also gives a ton of material to read and assignments, I recommend not to take this class if you have a lot of other classes as well.
She is a teacher very dedicated to her work, she has all her classes structured like a food recipe and that makes you not feel lost in class. And that every day it is already planned that it has to be done. I really liked his classes, I learned too much about how to write an essay in detail and structured.
