I have taken online classes before and following the syllabus and the assignments was fairly easy. With Mrs. Dumler however she will not show you your grade even though it is an online course. She tends to be absent for periods of time and when she reappears expects you to turn in multiple assignments at once.

If you need credits in an English class I highly recommend 1 B with Dumler. But be warned she is hard to get used to because she laughs and runs on talking but shes very passionate You do have to read poems every week. homework is simple either credit or no credit. only one term paper and her tests are just off of vocabulary. Easy class to pass.

Professor Dumler is amazing! She truly cares about you passing this class. She updates the outline VERY frequently and it will be your lifeline for this class. Be prepared to do a lot of reading, but if you keep it up you will have no problem passing this class. She is very clear as to what is expected from you and is here to help! 10/10

Prof. Dumler was a little nitpicky when I took her. Many times I would try my best on papers but she would still find errors. Its not a bad thing that she does that but she is a tough grader. Good luck!

Often times, Dumler was pretty funny. Her syllabus is straightforward, and the class outline online is extremely useful. There is homework everyday, but they aren't difficult. Tests are on vocabulary, and we even watched a few plays at the end of the semester. Lastly, there's just one paper that can be revised later. Do the work, don't get lazy!

The material was not difficult, but I had this teacher 3 days a week and there were 5 things due each class day. I wish I had read this before signing up for her class. I have several other more important classes I need to focus on, but can't for fear of missing something and failing this class. There is an absurd amount of reading required.

Great Professor. Really liked the class. The B1B class was very different from the B1A class that focuses on research paper. The B1B class had us read poetry, short stories, and finally watch 4 plays at the end of the semester. Her 3 big tests are multiple choice and she provides a practice exam. She drops the lowest of the 3. Was a wonderful class

Tons of homework in this class, a lot of it so pointless it seems to exist just to annoy you. Nearly all of her curriculum is so extremely politically charged it's nauseating and forced me to drop. If you're just interested in learning english, and not reading endless political soapboxes and hottakes, this is absolutely NOT the professor to take.
