Dr. Perry's class, while challenging, is great! She's a lot of fun, and you learn so much. If you're looking for a class that you will leave with something, I would choose one with her.

She is a great teacher - besides being incredibly knowledgable about the subject, Dr. Perry is very approachable and funny, which makes the class even better. Although she can be a tough grader, she is fair enough. Everyone should take her classes!

A great teacher, all around. Very nice, very friendly, and very knowledgeable and passionate about the subjects she teaches. And HOT.

Dr. Perry made writing easy and enjoyable. She uses fairy tale topics and breaks every part of writing a paper down. If I were to ever take an other writing/English course I would def. take it with her.

Creative writing is the fourth class I've taken with Dr. Perry. I've also taken, Prose Writing, Literary Study, and Writers Collaborating with Artists. Dr. Perry makes you work hard. But she's fair, fun, and her classes are always interesting. ;-p

enjoyable classes. very knowledgeable, but seems to assume things about students based on dress. kind of catty and arrogant.

I admire her.

A true scholar who hopes to pass on good scholarship to her students. Will never let you slack. Immense patience with lazy, whiny students

Awesome, smart, fun

The only reason that certain students don't find immense value in the teaching of Dr. Perry is because they have injured egos. She will not grade you well if you don't do the work well--but she will work with you to improve yourself. She is amazing.

taking 1 of her classes is a great oppertunity! You learn so very much from her without even realizing it. She will push you to reach your potential, and has more patience with whiners and slackers than any other prof. I've had at FSC.

she is compassionate, quirky, dedicated, often uncensored, expects students to write beyond the high school level and truly improve their craft -- wish I could have taken more than two of her classes.

Dr.Perry is an awesome teacher. Her classes are fun.She wants the best for her students and also challenges them in a healthy way to be the best they can be. Not only is she a great teacher, but she is a great person and I feel honored to have had her.

Perry is one of the most amazing teachers I've had in the English department. She's painfully honest, and isn't afraid to tell you what's on her mind. She's always out to help her students, and pushes them beyond their limits! Perry's awesome!

I've seen both sides of Dr. Perry. She can sometimes say things on impulse- but all of us do that. I think overall she really does care and much of her critism is purely constructive.

She seems really nice. I havent gotten back my first portfolio submission. But she seems to care what students think about her class and if things are going smoothly. Overall she is nice - but I dont know how she grades (its march im a little worried)thats the only bad thing. class time goes by fast

Great course, extremely helpful. A great professor for a creative mind. You must have a sense of humor and not be offended by light vulgarity.

This professor inspired me to write. Dr. Perry actually wants you to learn something. She is NOT easy, and will not tell you what you want to hear. She pushes you to get you to do your best and has been more than available when I've needed help. She is also really personable and cares very much about her students, which is why she is so demanding.

Ihave taken 4 classes with her which I wouldn't if I didn't really like her. But if you don't have a sense of humor or are looking for an easy grade her classes are not for you

Dr. Perry is by far one of the most brilliant proffessors I have ever had. She is intelligent, well-spoken, and has an awesome sense of humor. I think she tends to get a bad rap because her classes are difficult. This is college, come prepared to learn and work, and you should do fine in her class!

Dr. Perry is the best professor at FSC. If you didn't do well in her class is was because of your own lack of motivation and determination, not her lack of ability.

really loved her class wd def take it again

Online. Best online class I ever had. Always got back to me quickly and was really helpful.

These ratings really got me scared! But I've had a great experience in Dr. Perry's class...I've learned a lot and even though she isn't an easy prof. she is a nice person & these ratings are before she went on sabbatical...I think motherhood probably softened her up a little...take her class, you'll learn a lot! I'm taking her next semester!

REally fun class.

Prof Perry is a very nice woman. That being said she does expect alot out of her students. She grades papers very harshly but allows revsing,and expects you to see her during office hours. She doesn't give alot of papers or work, and is very flexible about it.Her overall grading systems very fair.And is a good class in general. BTW NO BOOK!

Excellent Professor! She's hilarious and is enthusiastic about what she teaches. I'd take another class with her.

Dr. Perry is awesome.As far as homework goes, in Lit Study, a weekly writing prompt and HEAVY reading was expected. Her expectations are very high of her students, but she is very helpful and makes it mandatory to go to her office hours for help. She is hilarious & I looked forward to going to her class. I would reccomend her, but be ready to work!

I go out of my way to take classes with Dr. Perry; she's absolutely fantastic.

I've taken 2 classes with Prof. Perry and she's fantastic. She does demand a lot from her students. She expects you to have an opinion and encourages you to pursue topics that interest you. She's very flexible and pays attention to students needs. She is a tough grader but is always available for help or clarification. I recommend taking her class.

I don't know what everyone else is complaining about, Dr. Perry is also incredibly friendly in class and funny. Class isn't that hard, got B's on my first draft papers and took only an hour to write. I enjoy the class and if you know how to write a basic 5 paragraph essay you can easily pass.

Perry is a very fair professor. Some may find her grading to be harsh but you can rewrite practically any assignment for a better grade. She is friendly and has a great sense of humor, making the classroom environment relaxed and easy to work in. I found that my writing vastly improved in her class. If you care enough you'll do fine.

Best prof in the English department. Funny and energetic!Grades hard but fairly.

Everyone giving Dr. Perry a bad review is just a sour grape. She is hard and expects a lot, but she is such an amazing and intelligent professor! She does care about how you do in her class. By far my favorite professor in the English Department at FSU. And to those who say she's rude: that's just her sense of humor. Lighten up!

Professor Perry is one of the most un-intimidating and helpful professors at FSU. She is clear in class about what she wants and is extremely flexible. She will always give extra help if you need it and she strongly encourages students to see her in her office hours! She is a tough grader but almost always allows you to revise!

She makes you work for it, but if you put the effort in you'll be fine. A little disorganized.

I'm reading a lot of mixed reviews here. It seems like her online class may be a bit confusing, however I found that her lecture classes were awesome. She's very energetic and funny. At times, she strays from the topic at hand but she always gets back to it. Turn in organized and well-written essays and you'll do great. (Class: Mythology)

Tough grader in the best way.

I love professor perry. She is hilarious and kind. I excel at English, and the papers are not difficult for me. So, my opinions on grading may be skewed. I love her. Great help. Very knowledgeable. Very funny.

I took honors expository writing with Perry my first semester at FSU. She was very welcoming and cared about all of her students. I am not an English major so I was expecting to have a hard time in the class but she made it very clear on each assignment and gave great feedback. Would recommend for this class!

She is one of if not the best English teacher at FSU. She is passionate and enthusiastic, and she gives great feedback on papers. She is also easy to talk to if needed.

She's awesome, really sweet and encouraging teacher, makes you feel like you're not alone!

Professor Perry was always being praised by half the campus. Even students who did not know her or take her class sang her praises. When I finally got into her classes, I was so excited and now consider her one of the best professors I have ever had the pleasure of learning from! She was kind, very funny, easy to talk to, and made class enjoyable.

she always talks to us and tells us how much she cares about us, and even reaches out on individual levels. she's so engaged with us and I really feel like she loves what she does. favorite class of the semester.

She is amazing. Very sweet and helpful, would love to take a class by her again but am not sure I can. She is so caring and genuinely loves teaching and her students. I always look forward to her class and am going to miss it. She is very difficult to reach via email though, that is the only problem. She can also be super vague in general. LOVE HER

She's super funny and caring, though unlikely to respond to your emails. You'll learn cool things in her class if you pay attention and do your work. She doesn't put a ton of stuff in the grade book but she's super lenient with attendance.

I absolutely love Dr. Perry. She is so kind and easy to talk to. The course work is very light, it's just a good amount of reading (as to be expected in a literature course). She can be a bit wacky and off-topic, but she always gets back to the important stuff. She is very willing to change assignments and deadlines if students don't like them.
