Loves to humiliate students who don't agree with her interpretation of the texts, loves to assign busy work and WILL treat you as though you're in high school. We had vocabulary sheets in ENG290. Ridiculous.

Im speechless. I'm a transfer student and i had to take this class as a filler to finish my english credits. This class is (head shake, eye roll). Its 1 credit, and she expects us to read a 500 page book about corn, grass, and the forest. And wright a paper, that i understand. Other then that (head shake, eye roll).

This class was horrible.She gives so much homework and talksabout vague topics for 2 hours every day.You have notes due from a book once a week, while your reading 1 of 3 books with random quizzes,and writing one of her three papers all of which you do on your own time.You get nothing done during class.Going is pointless except she takes attendance

She talks all hour about useless stuff that relates to nothing that will help you. she uses the class time to talk about the book you are reading. when you ask a question you get a look that makes you feel dumb and when you ask for help and when she does help it is useless

To start off she always calls on students and once the attempt to answer her usless question, she shuts them down with her face expressions.I never participated in class because when i would she would make me feel like a complete idiot.I learned more English in Kindergarten than in her class. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!

Worst professor I have ever had at WSU. Personally will judge not only your work, but you as a person. She acts nice in front of other staff and students, but if she pulls you aside she will make you feel horrible about yourself and stupid. I never had a problem with English until I took her ONE credit class. DO NOT TAKE HER.

This class is fine, and Dr. Michlitsch is a great professor. She helps break things down to an understandable level if you're struggling. But her expression as we talk as a class, and the way she responds to input that differs from her own interpretation, is incredibly condescending.

She seems overall confused most of the time. Whenever you answer her questions, she gives a look of disgust and doesn't respond to your answers. Pop quizzes that she reads OUT LOUD so quickly. Cold calls on students. We told her the amount of homework she was assigning was excessive and she did not care. Dullest and worst professor I've ever had

She tends to ramble off about the reading and saves the important stuff to talk about at last minute. She also calls on students and grills them until they answer the way that she wants. she also seems confused about what we are talking about and often takes time to sit in her own thoughts in between sentences. Nice, but wouldn't recommend

By far the WORST professor that I have ever taken/heard of. She picks on random students and EXPECTS everyone to ALWAYS know the answer. She makes you feel so so dumb. One time I had to ask her for help, and she told me she is so behind with other classes, that she can't talk and is unable to help me. DO NOT TAKE WITH HOPES OF PASSING.

As many people have noted, Michlitsch makes students feel stupid with condescending looks during class. She assigns ridiculously long readings and doesn't return assignments in an even remotely punctual manner. She grades harshly without providing many critiques. Discussion was never allowed to get deep and always stayed surface level. Don't take.

The readings & assignments were simpleas long as you read. However, youll never get an A. She doesnt give constructive feedback so its unclear on what you did wrong. Be prepared to do your best & not get anything out of it. She has rude face expressions & your opinion doesnt matter. If you want to question your life then take this class!

Incredibly kind outside of class, but in class just the most condescending prof I've ever had.

Extremely condescending. Will never turn grades in on time. Be ready to never have the right answer because she never likes anything anyone has to say. Read the assigned text, as you will receive three reading quizzes a week, but she will never return them to you. Gives ZERO comments to help you improve your papers. Avoid her at all costs.

Gretchen doesn't give constructive feedback past "good" and "???". Never came to class on time or put her students as a priority. She had us read VERY triggering books, and when we were asked our opinions, we always are wrong. She gives dirty looks that are very discouraging. Such a condescending professor. I can't believe I paid money for this!!

I felt that Dr. Michlitsch's teaching and grading methods were very unfair. The entire class was very frustrated with their papersshe hardly ever gave A's on papers and the feedback wasn't useful. She prioritized grading her lower-level classes so we never got to see our 3rd or 4th paper before the end of the semester. Wouldn't take again.

So much reading, in one semester we have read 7 novels 2 of which were added the first day of class. Papers and exams took over a month to come back with heavy emphasis on grammar. In fact she will cross out the word you used and in place put a synonym, take points off for grammar. Does not matter if it is a pop quiz or a essay.

ENG390 Gave an article in Spanish with no translation. Took a month to give back papers. Lectures don't help at all and students mostly teach each other. Exams hurt my hands being pages of hand written stuff. Takes points off for grammar and overly corrects. Does not care for the content you are trying to write about only the grammar.

I have NEVER had a professor so condescending and rude to students in my entire life. Not only is her classroom conduct so unprofessional her attitude is horrendous. She rolls her eyes at students and has said offensive language during class. Right answers are based on HER opinions and surface level discussions.

Worst professor I've had in three years. No one learned anything in this class. We were never given reasons our readings, the feedback for papers was nonexistent, she took five weeks to grade one paper, and graded grammar on everything including the hand-written exams. She did not provide any rubric for her grading even when asked multiple times.

Dr. Michlitsch is the most disappointing professor I have had as WSU. She displays horrific in-class conduct, has no clear grading criteria, she fails to adequately teach class content, etc. Her instruction is a blight on an otherwise amazing department. Avoid Dr. Michlitsch at all costs.

This professor is infuriating. Her class is 10% analysis and 90% rereading the homework. Her grading is impossible. Expects her 18-20 yo students to write at the level of a 45 yo & expects perfection from essays. Grades exams like essays & takes points off for things like grammar/spelling a word wrong. +Don't expect to get assignments back...ever.

Don't take her class unless you're prepared to be argued with and potentially spend class periods having the previous night's reading assignment read back to you. Know that your grammar and spelling will probably be more important than the analysis that you're doing. Get to know your classmates well because you will need to depend on each other!

Dr. Michlitsch is by far the worst professor I've had. The entire course was us sitting in silence, waiting for her to figure out how to word her own notes, or her belittling everything any of us said. Nothing you could say was good enough. The people in this class were the only thing good about it - I swear all of us are trauma-bonded bc of her...

Dr. Michlitsch is the most disappointing professor I have met at WSU. She does not understand how to communicate topics to the class, especially her expectations. She's lazy when it comes to grading papers/exams and is by far incapable of teaching. Save your money and your mental health.

Michlitsch is really difficult to have. She tends to cold call all the time, and we would have to read 40-70 pgs per class and she gave quizzes for each reading. Be ready to be docked points for your handwriting and grammar! For a white professor who consistently teaches a class on African American literature, she seems to love to say the n-word!

"But it's the only English 111 class that works with my schedule!!" I promise you it's not worth it to take this class with her. Beware of pop quizzes, NOTHING being posted on D2L, poor time management, nonsensical essay grading, never getting grades back, and pop quizzes. she's kind outside of class but condescending in the classroom. DO NOT TAKE

She doesn't use D2L, so you are left in the dark about your grades all semester. If you ask her for your grade information, you will need to calculate your own score. Didn't finish grading her work until weeks after it was supposed to be completed. She is a "tough grader," as in she hardly ever gives A's. Said the n-word in class! Avoid her class.

You'll be expected to read 40+ pages per night, then expected to do a pop quiz at the start of each class based on the reading. There were many times where I had trouble retaining the book because it was extremely difficult and then would fail the quiz. Is also one of the most condescending professors I have EVER had. Beware!!!!
