Mrs. Bennett is a GREAT TEACHER, I signed up for her in 1102. She is clear with all her request, offers to help you with anything, grades fairly (she won't ignore errors, which she shouldn't), attendance is important, read the required material, and show respect. She is open to hear everyone's comments and keeps the class focused. Loved the class!
I loved Ms. Bennett's class. She finds every mistake in a paper, but does everything possible to help you learn to write better. Strict on attendance, but is very understanding and personable. Very helpful. I am taking her for 1102 now and this morning saw that several of my former classmates are too. Enough said.
If you go to class regular, do the work, act with maturity, and participate, you will do fine. And PROOFREAD everything! I came away with a B. Very nice lady. However, she has an angry side too so don't make her mad. She will throw you out of class and give you a zero if you go to class without your assignment.
Very likable teacher. Extremely organized! Likes for everyone to participate in class. Good experience.
Very clear on every assignment. Organized beyond belief. Easy to keep up with what is going on in her class. She is a little weird but is a good writing teacher. Has a bit of a temper and is easily annoyed. Lots of students take her again.
Class wasn't too bad, even though I was dreading taking English. She does count off for every little mistake but will let you revise for a better grade if you ask her. If she sees you are trying, she will work with you.
I'm enjoying her class. We read fun stories, take tests over what we read and some literary terms. Write some papers about the fiction. Nice teacher. Gives study guides and tells exactly what to study. Grades a little rough on the papers but is fair.Only problem is she is softspoken and sometimes hard to hear. I'd take her agin.
She is a horrible teacher. I am very good at reading and writing, yet I came out of this class with a B. I am still upset about that - this is the only class I have not made an A. She is boring and assigns stories that are on high school level. She gives assigns essays but doesn't read them. Annoying and pointless. Didn't teach me anything.
Love this class! She is very helpful and I learned a great deal about writing more interesting stories. Thank you for a great semester.
Great professor, recommend for learning support english
If you struggle with grammar, this lady is very good. Excellent teacher. Highly recommended for English 0099.
Great teacher. Attendance is mandatory if you want to keep up with the reading material, and assignments. Explains everything really well; she never misses a day; prepares you for regents exam.
Very good teacher, explains everything as many times as needed. Literature is hard to understand but she made it fun. Attendance is mandatory to make a good grade. She gives a lot of assignments but she grades very fair.
All you have to do is attend class and take notes!! All her test are from her class discussione....if you don't attent you will be lost. If she repeats something .... it will be on the test..I love her teaching style...very fair..
She is very helpful and grades fairly. I really enjoyed taking her class and I would reccomend her to anyone =)
Professor Bennett is a fair grader. She gives you feedback on essays, which is great. Show up everyday, read the book, use correct grammer on essays and you're good.
Great teacher. All assignments are for a reason and will be useful in the long run on later assignments. Stories and poems vary. The free writing assignments are great and allow more ideas. Only limited on topic one research project. Took this teacher twice and would have a third time if I had the chance.
Great teacher. Really enjoyed the class.
I took her because my roommate had her and said that she was very sweet. Well that was a year a half ago. She's really quite rude now. She seems to take it personal when you come in late or miss a day. If you can make it to class on time every day and write decent papers I would recommend this teacher, if not, take someone easier.
She seems to enjoy working one on one with students. If you go to her for help before the paper is due, you will do fine in her class. She points out every weakness. She is very sweet, unless you lay out or arrive late every day. I would take her again. The novel we read was awesome. Great read.
Great Teacher! She is sweet and nice. Is not rude at all and attendence should be mandatory in all classes. She is very helpful and grades essays fair.
Probably the most helpful professor I have ever had. Doesn't mind helping you revise drafts. We read a lot of stuff about different cultures--India, Dominican Republic, etc. Good class. Learned more than just writing. Great Teacher. Much better than my 1101 teacher.
She is very enthusiastic and apparently loves what she does. Very good at explaining all the difficult poems and short stories. I was clueless until she went over them in class. Appreciates the students opinions. Keeps class well focused by making everybody participate in disucssions.
Mrs.Bennett was a wonderful teacher! She was an easy and fair grader. As long as you read what you are supposed to and do your reading journals(which motivate you to actually read) this class is a breeze.I strongly recommend her as a teacher, and cannot say one bad thing about her.
I love Ms. Bennett. I made C's on my major papers but she gives daily journal writing and other work that helps your grade (if you do them). It also helps you be prepared for the class descussions. You just have to responde to the reading. There are no wrong answers on daily work unless you write something stupid and its plain you didn't read.
This class is a total breeze. As long as you do the daily assignments and write your papers. The assignments are easy, a little reading and then you write 300 words on it, takes no more than 30 min, and are usually pretty interesting. Very easy grader as well. Other than the hw assignments theres hardly and work to do for grades. Highly recommended
She's a hard grader on major papers. I made A's in high school and am barely able to keep a B in her class. But she's not too demanding about hoemwork and other assignments. She gets angry if she thinks you haven't read your homework though.
Read model essays and write a response to some of those, like 300 words each. There very interesting topics though so it is easy to write them. And you have 5 major papers to write also. A little grammar, but no test on that. Its an interesting class, no dull lectures. She always asks for student thoughts and doesn't critize students opinions.
She gives a lot of daily writing assigments but theyre easy and are about interesting topics. 5 major essays, and she grades hard on those. But it's a very doable class as long as you participate and your attendance is good. Doesn't take late work without major deductions. I would recommend.
Interesting class and discussion topics. Nice professor. Very fair. I would take her again, but her classes are fulled up.
Excellent teacher. No tests. No final or midterm. Our final was a research paper. Have daily short story readings (aboout 3-5 pgs) out of text book (about 3 to 4), have to do homework (write about one of the short stories you read the night before) Discuss the stories you have read the next day in class. Very interactive.
She is a very nice lady. For my first English class in college, she made it seem no so scary. You have to read and you need to do your daily assignments. They are very easy and gives you a list so you know what you are reading and doing everyday. Take time on your essays, she expects the best out of you. I would highly recommend her!
She is a hard grader and it is impossible to pass her class w/o good attendance. She gets pissy if you miss too many days. Participation is very important. Encourages interaction. Respects students' opinions, even if she doesn't agree. Very laid back personality, unless she is mad about attendance. I would take her again; but I rarely miss a day.
interactive class and nice teacher. she doesn't believe in tests, but we had homework almost every night(was VERY easy) up until the end of the semester. had 5 major papers and one of them were our final for the class. i am taking her again for english 1102, and i see that some of my classmates have signed up for her class as well. enough said.
i loved her!
Good teacher. I had her for 1101 & she said she "dosen't believe in tests" and now in 1102 we had 5 tests. They arent hard tho made one B & A's on the rest. Just dont like the fact she said she dosent "believe" in something then she turned around and did it. She'll get mad if u miss too many days or if u dont particapate during class disscussions.
good teacher, enjoyed the class
She assigns a ton of work. My girlfriend took another teacher and didn't have nearly as much assignments as I did. With that said, her class was very enjoyable thoough and I always looked forward to going to class. Discussions were interesting and she helped me improve my essays. Classy looking older woman with nice persoanlity.
Her 1102 is much harder than her 1101. We covered a lot of material this semester! I didn't mind though because she's a very likeable person. I would take her a third time if I could, but I'm not into the creative writing thing. Come to class, read (a lot), write a bunch of essays, participate to discuss stories, and you are good! She's great.
She is one of the best professors I have had at GSC. She is very organized which helps students stay on track with what is expected of them. She is a fair grader but not easy, and she is a sweet person too. She is an excellent writer herself and does a great job of teaching it to others.
You always know what is expected of you in this class because she is organized to the fullest. She is very passionate about the literature she teaches. I personally hated all of the selections because they had unhappy endings. The poems we read didn't rhyme. But she clearly loved it all and it showed. Very compassionate teacher. I loved her!!!
Very awesome teacher. She is very nice and organized. You know exactly whats going on and is what you would expect in a basic english class, not too much work. shes kind and passionate about her work.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to drop her class, however, she was a great professor, always prepared, easy to get along with, and very structured. If you go to class, do all the writing assignments and the essays, participate, you will do fine. I will take her again.
She is an okay teacher, but I had to miss several classes due to work because I got a promotion and when I went and spoke with her she was extemely rude to me, she told me she didn't even know who I was, therefore I dropped the class. If you have a job and family I would not take this class. If you do not then I recommend her. She knows her stuff.
Unless you are a total slacker, don't attend class or do your work, you won't have a problem with this teacher. She is very sweet most of the time but does seem to get very upset with people who don't do what she aks. Fair grader and Gives reading journals to help your final grade. I recommend her to anyone.
I have had her for 1101 and 2. She is easy, a good/fair grader, and missing some days won't hurt your grade neither. I would def recommend her for a professor!!
I had Professor Bennett for Am. Lit 1 this semester. This was her first time teaching on this subject, and while she is a good teacher, the lack of knowledge showed. One benefit is that class was always out early b/c we ran out of things to say. Tough on essays, but if you work hard, you'll get a good grade. Study for tests & you'll do great!
Covered a lot of material and the readings were difficult. Could have chosen better readings. I don't think American lit is her background. She is however, an excellent writer, so she grades essays very roughly. The actual literature tests were a breeze though. She makes good comments on essays, but it's not a writing class. Very pleasant person.
Loved her. Had her for 1101 and 1102. Very professional. Passionate about teaching. Gives feedback on essays. Always makes herself available if you need help. Very approachable. If you do the work, you will make a good grade.
I really liked her and plan on taking her again.
She expects alot so I got help directly from her with eVERY paper. She is very helpful and easy to talk to. Have to read a lot and write about what you read. Not an easy class but very doable. I really liked her and would take her again but her amer lit filled up fast. Would recommend her to anyone.
This was my favorite class ever! By Far! She loves poetry and shares that love for writing with her students. I hated to see it end. Thanks to Professor Bennett, I am more confident in writing and sharing my poetry.
I enjoyed this class. There is a lot of reading involved and 10 reading responses. She doesn't grade them for grammatical content. I found this class rather easy if you read everything. Pretty much just a comprehension class. I would take her again.
great profs
1102 with Bennett is pretty easy. Go to class, read the material, and write the papers. Only thing is Bennett is very quiet and does not do a great job steering her class. If the students are also quiet(like my class) the class will be very awkward
she is a very sweet and helpful lady easy easy class you will read every night though but her stories are interesting and short i will take her again.
Best Professor ever. She is so helpful and makes class interesting. Take her, you will learn a lot. Show up to class & do your work. Love her!!!
Super easy! I don't know if she was just feeling lazy this semester but she graded our papers VERY lightly. She is so extremely patient and she is always willing to help.. usually just telling you the answers to class work given if you just ask her. She likes to chat. She will talk to you forever you want. Highly recommend for and easy grade.
Prof Bennett is such a sweet lady and you can tell she loves literature and discussions. She really likes class discussions on the stories in class. There were only 2 papers during the semester and I wouldn't say she graded too harshly since I got a 98 on the research paper and am not a great writer. Do the work and readings, you should get an A.
Overall a very easy class. But the semester seemed to last forever because it was so boring. You will have daily reading for the first half and then be working on papers the rest of the semester. Almost all of class time is spent just discussing the readings, no lectures. She is very specific about her expectations for assignments. little feedback.
She's an awesome teacher! Always there to help when needed. Assignments are a must and she makes sure to remind you when things are due! I recommend her for anyone she's excellent!
She wasn't my favorite, but she's not horrible either. Class is super easy, just boring so class never seems to end fast enough. Do what she asks, participate, and you'll have an A.
Literally, no exams. Her midterm and final consist of pieces you have worked on in class or outside of class, so poems, plays, short stories, anything! Don't buy the book unless you want to read what she assigns which you aren't tested on so yeah. She gets frustrated with lateness, so BE ON TIME. Attendance counts. Show up, write, & it's an easy A.
Great professor! She has several in class reading responses and group assignments. Few papers. A lot of research. She is a professional writer so will def. help you with your writing skills. Easy A if your a good writer. A lot of reading and discussions over the readings. Theme of readings are very dark. She likes to stick on the reality side.
She's a very nice lady, however, I feel like she can sometimes be very vague and judge-y. You have class discussions over the readings. She said she sometimes gives pop quizzes, but for our class, she gives them almost every time, so you have to read. She uses the quizzes as participation & also grades attendance. Only have 3 papers & a final paper
She was the best English teacher I have ever had at the college level. Her grading was very fair and there are only 4 papers for the class. She does give a lot of quizzes randomly so attendance does matter. Altogether, it was the most stress-free English class I have ever taken.
So at the beginning of the semester all was well. I was passing with an A. I came to class, read the poems/short stories, passed the quizzes, etc. Later on in the semester when we start writing she gave use the dumbest criteria ever for our papers. She will make you think she's easy and nice but in reality she's the opposite.
If you try hard enough, she will see your effort.
Not the most difficult class, but she is the absolute worst about her grading criteria. If you attempt to ask her why it is that you received a poor grade on a paper, she will not help, just give a snide remark about how you should have listened more. I am not the only person in my class to have had this experience. Only take if its the only option
Loved her. Wrote in class and for homework. Only one simple project. Participation matters: will have to read out in class, read what you wrote, give opinion. will work in groups
Prof. Bennett is super nice! I had her for creative writing so it was small with mostly English majors. Basically if you show up, do the daily work, and show your effort, you'll make an A.
Professor Bennett is extremely understanding and if you show her you're putting in effort, she will work with you. Lots of reading but it ties in to her lectures well.
She is GREAT! I loved all of her classes, regardless of the weird topics she does. Our class was over the topic of death, but it made the class really interesting. Be expected to present and talk during the class, because she does include extra boosts to your grade if you speak during class.
As long as you show up everyday and do the class work youll be fine. She likes topics about health and thats what all the essays & presentation is about. Shes a really good professor! Im not a strong writer but if you ask for help she will and going to the writing center really helped me.
I actually really enjoyed taking her class. I'm not the greatest writer ever but I got A's on all of my papers. As long as you meet the criteria and think outside the box she's not a tough grader. Our class was based no the topic of health which was very interesting. Only 1 presentation at the end of the semester.
Professor Bennett is a great English professor. Her class was heavy on group work, and allowed you to work with your peers, which I personally enjoyed. Overall, I would recommend Professor Bennett to anyone who has a previous love for English, and is not afraid of hard work.
Very chill and nice professor. I thought she was an easy grader. I would definitely recommend her for anyone. Easy A in my opinion
Professor Bennett was awesome! While the topics she chooses for us to write about were a little weird (all papers in my class had to be related to health), she gives very clear insight about what she wants and is very willing to help. As long as you show up and follow her grading rubrics, it's an easy A.
Dr. Bennett was a fantastic teacher! She always responded promptly to emails and was helpful. There were weekly reading, discussion posts, and journal entries, but it really wasn't that much. She's a pretty light grader; if you do the work, she'll give you an A. She didn't give a ton of guidelines, she just let us write, which was a nice change.
She is an ok professor. She tends to pick favorites and belittle the ones she is not a fan of. Her class is pretty easy with all the low-stakes writing but her essay criteria are dumb. Plus, it was a waste of my time to even come to class since all we did was review the pages of the book we were reading for that semester.
She was pretty cool at the beginning of the semester with the easy low stakes assignments then out of the blue she turned into a tough grader. I worked really hard on a research paper that she had assigned us but then I was told the source I used was not trustworthy... after I had gotten my source from where she told us to. Wouldn't take again.
Great professor, just do the readings and submit assignments on time. She is really sweet and has a really fun and interesting curriculum for an ENGL class.
Prof. Bennett is a nice professor and her class is pretty easy. The topics she has you write about are all pretty relatable and easy to talk about. Do the assignments and turn them in on time and you should be fine. She counts turning in assignments as a participation grade so don't slack off.
great and caring teacher, lets you pick your topics for papers, but she does tend to pick her favorites. in general great and easy class, be aware of pop quizzes and participate in class and youll get an easy A
overall good. Her instructions on papers are straightforward, no tricks or anything. I really liked her because she is an easy grader as long as you meet the criteria.
she was very mid. Not bad but kind of scary.
Very straightforward on assignments. Lenient grader but does take off for grammar. Great assignments. I really enjoyed all the topics for this class and all writing. Would take again.
