I enjoyed taking English 1301 with professor Abedin. She is a great teacher.
She is great! I did not waste my money or my time in taking her class.
Ms. Abedin is da bomb.
She is really cool and funny.
A very witty woman!
Haven was very helpful and understanding. She is fun, exuberant, has a beautiful smile, and is very easy to talk to. I love her teaching style and she's always willing to give a little extra help
Haven is like a little ray of sunshine. She wants class to be fun and interesting. She connects well with students on a personal level. Although she is like a shark when it comes to bad grammer, she is more than willing to help you understand what is going on. She is very friendly and loves her dog.
sHE IS OKAY
Wouldn't recommend

great teacher not real easy but very helpful in class. One of the best teachers I have ever had!
HAVEN'S AWESOME! I've had her for going on 3 semesters now. She's totally helpful and really wants everyall her students to pass. Everyone should take her for a class. :)
Mrs. Abedin is like a breath of fresh air. I love being part of her class.I reccomend you take her classes because will learn a lot and have fun doing so.

Prof Abedin is great. She is willing to help you so that you can do well in the class. If she teaches other classes, I'll definitely choose her.
Haven is the best teacher EVER! She expects alot from her students, but gives them all the tools to do well. She cares about each of her students and wants everyone to do well. I have yet to hear of a bad english teacher at BHC, but HAVEN IS THE BEST! TAKE HER CLASS!
She's such a wonderful teacher, much better than the previous one that I had.
A wonderful class! The group work is fun. Haven is very courteous to the handicap, but delightful in her own way
Great teacher. Expects you to work hard, but also lets you have fun. She's super cute with a great personality. I'm going to take Brit Lit with her in the fall, and would take all my English classes with her.
This was my first semester back to school in five years so I was intimidated but she is so nice and keeps things fun. She is young so it's easy to talk to her. Overall her class has been fairly easy. I recommend her to everyone.
Very nice, and understanding teacher. Makes it easy for students to learn. Provides helpfull tools and will go over the material again if you dont get grasp of it the first time
Great teacher and a great person.
Kick ass teacher and really hot.
Haven Abedin is a totally awesome professor. She is very friendly and doesn't bog you down with too much work. You'll have to write some papers (duh), but if you do your work, you're basically guarenteed a good grade. And, as a plus, she's not hard on the eyes.
Haven is the coolest English teacher I've ever had. I was really scared about the writing process, but she helped me so much! She really does go the extra mile.
She is really helpful! I did learn a lot from her! Very nice person!
She an extremely personal teacher who really tries to help you succeed in the class. If you do the homework and participate in class you will definitly get a good grade.
very nice person. she is extremely helpful, at least for me. i didn't how much i learned from her, just so much.
She is a cool teacher i recommend her to those who are not lazy lol. she is a good teacher but i don't understand what she wants in her essays.
Great when it comes to grading your essays. You must want to get a good grade, show up for class, utilize the peer reviews. She is very helpful when she grades the essays. There were 3-4 total essays. Syllabus is clear on expectations.
Ms. Abedin made the class activities that I usually hate (class discussion + group PowerPoint presentations) surprisingly pleasant. She is very personable, intelligent, and knows her subject well. The class wasn't terribly challenging. Wish we read more instead of watching movies all the time. Overall, she's a pretty good teacher.
Best teacher I had for English. I recommend her. Take this class and you will learn and enjoy English and have a great teacher.
The greatest English teacher I have ever had,not really clear about what she wants in a paper,but if you show that you are trying she well work with you. Four paper no text book needed for her class. Easy A
don know her now, but went to high school with her. she was waaaay cool back then too. go BA!!
Worst teacher I have EVER had. She's sooo crazy! She grades realllly hard. She agrees with everything you say in class, but when you say something in your papers, she criticizes really bad! At all costs, DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER.
Take this class for an easy A. I didn't learn much, but she is extremely nice and helpful. The assignments were short and simple. Would reccomend.
She will keep you to the last minute in class! Every minute counts! She is unclear about what she wants in her papers. She appears to be a great person but when she doesnt like the way the class is she gets mad.
Abedin can act nice and seem to be helpful, but she does not give you a break in essay errors. She will dig out as much mistakes she can find in your essay papers. If you have good writing skills, then it will be fine to take her. But if you know you need help or not to good with English, you might want to take a different instructor.
I highly recommend her for english, her essay are easy to do not hard at all, very easy A. She is really hot a pleasure to look at everyday.
Best teacher ever! Very organized and extremely helpful! Her grading is firm but extremely fair! If you listen and do the work it's a very easy class! She tries to help any way she can. The negative comments below really surprise me because i've never seen her like that and i've taken 2 courses with her. Wonderful teacher!
One of the best teachers I have ever had. Everything seemed relevent and worth while. Although some of the standard english papers had to be right she had a way of making them seem relevent.
Haven is the best and most sublime professor I have ever had. You will be smitten by this Lady-and she is a true Lady. She puts a lot of herself into the course, and thankfully so--as she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the out. I truly finish 2009 on a sour note; as I will miss her dearly.
Great teacher
She is wonderful!!!!!!!! Take any of her classes, show up, do the work, extra credit. She loves teaching, if you are mildly interested, you will do well!
She truly was great!!!!
Great teacher! She's really nice and very helpful. She really wants her students to pass and will help those willing to do the work. She gives plenty of opportunity for improvement. She's pretty funny, too! I loved the class.
Haven is seriously an amazing teacher. She helped me get through class when I was skeptical about my abilities.
She is awesome. She gives handouts. And the class is not boring. :)
she is very nice and helpful. you dont get a lot of homework, if you do its very easy. she is easy on the grading!
She is really nice!!! she gives you alot of stuff to help your grade go up. The work is easy and she makes the class fun.
She is Great!!!!She loves to teach and is very helpful. Her work is easy and she makes the class fun.
I just finished English 1301 with Haven. Super duper easy... and she makes the class very current. Fun things like movie reviews, advertising critiques, etc. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
She is awesome very helpful
Prof Abedin is extremely professional and helpful
Really dives into the material, knowledgeable, fair.. A very intellectual and attractive woman! If she wasn't married I would have tried to schedule more after school study hours!
She is a pretty great english teacher. I really enjoyed her this sesmester and wish she was teaching 1302! She gives you a couple oppurtunities to get extra points but just do your hmwrk. Pretty easy overall and she is funny. I 100% recommend her!
She was a spectacular professor! Now if only she taught all of my classes!
Best English I ever had. She teaches with a passion. There are only 4 major essays in which she helps you on only if you do them. I feel as if I learned in this class. I highly recommend this teacher for anyone who is taking English 1301!!! By the way I took this during the summer!
Professor Abedin was very helpful and very nice. Made the class go by fast and painless as possible.
Ms. Abedin is an awesome teacher! She is very helpful and I really enjoyed her class. If you do the work, she will make sure you succeed.
Mrs. Abedin is an excellent professor! She's really quirky, but very funny. Easy to listen to and easy to understand. She really is genuinely concerned for her students, and wants to help them improve as much as possible. She's always very kind and reminds everyone to email her or call her if they have any questions. I would HIGHLY recommend Haven.
Awesome prof! She actually cares if you pass, and if you like that class. Downside is that she can be a little passive-aggressive, but who isn't these days?
The very first time I walked in her classroom, I knew that she was a very nice person. Since then, I was always engaged to her class because she is interesting and cool. I HIGHLY recomend her for your English teacher:)
She was one of the greatest professor I have had so far. She is quirky, fun & very understanding & helpful. She really cares if you learn & she makes it fun even tho you write a ton of papers. Take her class!
Had for british literature. She is amazing, smart, pretty, makes her class interesting, she is honestly the full package. Love you Miss Abedin.
Seriously one of the best professors I've ever had! She is incredibly genuine and really cares about her students. She gives you more than enough chances to make the grade you want and if you need help she's there for you!
She is the sweetest most helpful teacher. She will really help you to pass and she always made me laugh.
She is probably the best English Professor I had. Being an international student, I have always disliked English class with a passion but Abedin makes it clear, fun, and easy to pass
Great teacher and willing to help. Pretty much an easy A, but you have to do the work.
The grade is based on ad analysis essay, film review essay, scholarship essay, and one in-class essay along with 10 short response type of assignments. She lists all the things that students need to have on the essays. Must start early to work on the assignments in order to keep up. Good luck (=
She is very close to students. very sweet and nice. I am glad I had her as my English 1301 teacher. she is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I highly recommend her for English 1301 classes.
She is very nice and helpful. She make sure all he students have a clear understanding of the assignments and if not she is willing to go up and beyond to help
I loved this teacher ! Mrs. Haven is a wonderful professor-- She is very clear and consise- and as long as you do the work you will receive an A- helps each student with their essay and gives you the opportunity to make errors! She made me want to write again!
Awesome and funny!
This lady is a fabulous teacher. She is interesting, helpful and clear on what's expected. She comes highly recommended!
I DO NOT RECOMMEND! She is very unclear on her assignments regardless of how well you write. If it's not exactly what she wants you will NOT get a good grade. She acts really nice and helpful, but is the exact opposite.
Ended up loving this class and felt my understanding of types of essays improved.
Very nice professor and work was not hard. Some essays with option to revise them to improve grade. Received and A and I am not a very good writer by the way.
Great teacher. Very interested in helping and teaching students the art of writing. Very sweet teacher, willing to go the extra mile for those whom ask help. A delightful teacher to have. Do your assignments, they are very easy! Go to class! And have fun writing!
She was a great professor.
She is by far the best! She teaches to where you understand and makes her class schedule flexible. She also has her office open anytime for extra help.
Professor Abedin is an amazing teacher. She is always there if you need help, gives everyone access to tutoring, makes assignments as clear as she can, and she gives helpful feedback with essays. She has really helped me improve my writing skills. She is very funny and super sweet- I would love to take her again.
Haven is a spectacular professor who truly connects with her students. If you have any problems at all, you can ask her for direction and clarification and she will always give it. She expressed how open her schedule was to help if you ever needed it, and her knowledge in the subject was so vast, yet she didn't act as if you were stupid.
Was NOT helpful at all! I've had way better. Does NOT care about the students at all. Only cares about her self.
Don't miss class. She's awesome- very funny and helpful. Willing to help, pretty fair on grades
I rEally like this class and the teacher she's so helpul and clear for everything. If you need to pass this class just read corretly the guideline for the paper . Enjoy the class she's a good tHeacher trust me
I TOTALLY AGREE with the person a few below that said if you don't write your essays in her own interest or her own specific needs she will give you a failing grade no matter how goodperfect your paper came out! I wrote 2 outstanding papers BUT just becuss it wasn't written in her certain wantsneeds she failed me! I dropped the class! AVOID HER
good teacher for english class 1301 she's so nice and helpful i just like haven for everything
She's a great professor... But you gotta read and write a lot! Lots of essays... She's very helpful!!
I love her!!! She is great and encouraging even when you express views different than her own. If you take her, you won't regret it unless you are lazy in the class. It was an easy A for me, but two people I sat with didn't pass because they were lazy and didn't do the homework. Keep up and pay attention! She gives you everything you need to pass.
Haven really helped my writing. I was in one of her hybrid classes and for a paper in her class she would usually give 3 weeks to complete it with rough drafts in between. What I recommended is to make sure and do the rough drafts she can really help you if you do that. She's also got this cool hipster thing going on and she's kinda hilarious.
Haven Abedin is the best teacher I have ever had. Before each project she clearly explained what we would be doing and had multiple examples to show what she wanted, what she didn't want, etc. Before every major paper she went over our drafts with us to make sure we were on the right track and understood everything. I would recommend this teacher!
She's great! Super nice and willing to help
You will have around a month to develop each essay. You will turn in week by week "revised" versions till the last deadline. Haven is really funny and understanding. Will help if you ask for it, and also has class conferences to help develop paper. She grades hard, so take the essays seriously, and do not procrastinate. 4 essays are your grade.
She is helpful but she has a category in her mind, and you need to work by that, if you want to go your way, she don't believe any new thing or innovation. She also can't understand the second language people, because this is very hard for them to do a professional work like the mother tong language
I'm glad I took this class during the summer. I didn't think one paper a week was too fast at all. Participation is important during class discussions. Overall, great teacher!
Great feedback, awesome personality, very understanding and compassionate for the work she does
Hello, if anyone is reading this. Well I can honestly say that Ms. Abedin is my favorite English teacher ever and I'm not exaggerating. She's also my favorite Professor at Brookhaven College. It's just something about her that makes you feel like the class is so much easier and not difficult. If anyone is taking English in the near future take her.
I took Prof. Abedin's class Fall of 2016. Your grado is only 4 major papers but you have a month to write it. I got an A+
I took Englsih with her once, and I really did not enjoy it. She tries to explain everything, but the thing is that she explain it many times until the point that you get totally confused. I would not take classes with her again.
She is very good at grammar and always gives us good feedback. I improved my writing skill a lot after taking her class
You always get the sense that Professor Abedin really cares about her students. She teaches you a lot about the different forms of writing without making the class difficult
She was a really nice teacher you can tell she wants all of her students to do good. She gives back really good feedback, but when she helps she doesn't tell you what to write she tries to give you ideas on what to write about. She is a very lovely lady and grades everything on time. She is always willing to help.
This teacher is really good. It was my first time taking college classes and she made it look so easy....
Would not recommend her if need proper explanation. A good paper will also receive C.
Writing is very challenging for me. I went in with the attitude that I would make AT MOST a low A (just for doing the assigned work submitting/completing them before the deadline). Nope! I received help from tutors in and outside the school - the exception of two essays, I made a 70 and one F (last essay, timed). ALL work completed 70 or higher.
Best teacher I have taken at Brookhaven. Very understanding if you miss class for an actual reason as apposed to skipping. If you show her you care you will pass
She is very strict with assignments, its never good enough for her
I Love Professor Abedin she is so sweet! I was honestly excepting to make a C but nope I made an A ayyyyyeeee!!! She really takes her time to sit down with you and go over whatever you to need to go over on your essays. I really wanted to take her again for my Eng 1302 but she wasn't teaching it in the Spring, unfortunately ,
I took Abedin's 1301 and I enjoyed it so much. She cares about her student and does one-on-one workshops to help you complete your essay. She does not do extra credit but she does do daily grade exercises so you want to be in class for those. Don't try to make up excuses in her class because she will see right through them. I would take her again.
I WILL NEVER TAKE HER AGAIN Really a tough grader I did everything even with the help of tutors, but I got fewer grades if you are thinking to taker her, I would say it's a MISTAKE.
HORRIBLE DONT COMEEE
I can confidently say Professor Abedin really sharpened by writing skills. She's warm in a no-nonsense way. Very quickly responds to emails and always gives specific feedback on essays. Takes the time to bring in multimedia so the class is actually interesting. Wish she taught other English classes because i would take her again in a heartbeat.
She's really nice teacher and quickly responds e-mail. But her grading criteria is pretty tough. I got all A excpet for this class. My tutor helped me a lot, but it didn't work. If you don't have many time to spend writing essay, I think you have to find another professor.
Mrs. Haven has been such a great professor. I tend to overthink things when writing essays and anytime im unsure of something I know I can always reach out and ask her for advice. From someone who struggles with correct grammar read the textbook!!! It helps a lot more than you think.
I'm not even done with finals yet and this is the easiest class I've ever taken. We had an essay due at the end of the week and I unexpectedly had to take to bf to the hospital and was moving in the same week and asked her for an extension and she said yes when no one else did. Professor Haven let me focus on learning and had great communication!
The Professor is very compassionate be sure to do the best work. She maybe a tough grader only because she wants you to grow as a writer & recognizes mistakes are natural for improvement. She gives a handful of extra credit take advantage of it & if you do not understand something just ask she responds back quickly. Overall I enjoyed her class.
Professor Haven was the greatest. I took Engl as a summer class, so pretty fast paced but she sends daily emails to keep you on track. Always willing to help out, great at giving ideas for essays. I was worried that there would be a ton of textbook reading but nope. Would definitely recommend and would definitely take her again.
I took Professor Haven's ENGL1301 class during the summer term. The class was pretty easy and she was really nice. We wrote three papers (about 2-3 pages each). For each, there was a discussion board where you posted your ideas and she gave feedback. Overall it wasn't a whole lot of a work and some of the papers were actually pretty fun.
I absolutely enjoyed this class and I am sad I couldn't sign up to take Comp 2 with her, online student. There were three papers and discussion posts where you would start a rough idea on your topic. Also there was composition structures modules that were impossible to fail, answer more questions you get a better grade. Always positive feedback.
Miss Haven is super nice and accessible. She explains class very well and is extremely helpful!
Grades papers with a fine-tooth comb and deducts points for every single mistake. If you want to write papers the entire semester go ahead and take her class. Nothing is good enough for her. I would not recommend this class.
I have taken Abedin for Engl 1301 & 1302. She is a wonderful professor! I think she is the best professor I have had so far. Her class was very easy and the assignments were manageable w/ a full-time job. She is a VERY caring professor and offers extra credit. I would completely disregard the previous review. TAKE HER CLASS! I love Ms. Abedin
I wish I could say more good things about Professor Abedin. She is cordial, calm, and will do everything she can to help with staying in touch. Most of the grading is for essays, but I highly recommend her for improving writing skills with as little anxiety and stress as possible. Excellent professor!
She is super nice, kind, and polite. If you get writers block she will help you get some ideas and give great feedback on anything you already have. She is super empathetic so she understands if you have any conflicts going on, and she will work with you on the deadline. Can't say enough nice things about her.
10/10 Recommend taking Professor Abedin's class! She is very clear on her instructions, gives great feedback, is very caring and grades quickly! She is very encouraging when it comes to reaching out to her, something not many professors do to be honest. I wish she taught other subjects, I would sign up for her classes in a heartbeat!
She is very humorous! It's not a difficult class, just stay on top of your assignments and due dates. She has great concepts and is helpful with any questions you have.
Very helpful and caring and will help you as long as you put in the effort.
I recommend taking your class with her! Her class is set up very well! She gives very good instructions and feedback. We did do a lot of writing such as notes and paragraphs which aren't difficult at all! She is not strict which makes you feel more at ease. We don't have exams but we did have a final paper. She gave us lots of time for it.
Very easy grader! Assignments are very easy. No final just a research essay, she gives more than enough time to complete. I would recommend her 100%!!!
She might honestly be professor in Dallas College. She would always send positive feedback. Only 2 assignments a week which was note taking and a essay (Took a 4 week semester). Very easy grader never got anything under a A. Seems like she actually cares for student even though its virtual. I might even take her ENGL 2 class for Fall.
she is very good when giving an example and clarity when it comes to assignments. She allows you to write your papers in your own interpretation which allows students to really think about what they read and their understanding. and gives you great feed back on what to correct and the extra credit helps too
Absolutely love this professor. Couldnt recommend her more. You only have one research paper that is due as the final, and all the other assignments in the class get you ready for it. She truly cares for her students and offers feedback for everything. Just make sure you do the work with effort, and you'll receive a good grade. TAKE HER!!!
Professor Abedin is great! She shows lots of empathy towards students, and gives very direct and clear instructions. We were given more than enough time to work on our writing assignments including the last paper, which counts for an important grade. Simply try your best to follow her instructions and you should do just fine!
Professor Abedin is AMAZING! Her class is very easy and assignment directions are clear. She allows extensions for all assignments if you ask. As long as you follow directions, you will get an A!
I have trauma from previous english teachers and their harsh standards that make no sense whatsoever, but Professor Abedin was the complete opposite. I just finished my ENGL-1301 class with her; it has to be my favorite DC class ever. She was so kind and understanding of my late work and an easy grader! Theres only 3 engaging essays and some notes.
All I have to say is do not take this class.
Best English Professor I've had, she gives us the work well in advance and gives us help every step of the way. If you use AI, don't show up to class, or think you have to do nothing then you WILL fail. She even helps you find sources, format sources, and encourages you. I would have loved having her for 2 years vice one.
Professor Abedin, She is an amazing teacher and down-to-earth. I thoroughly enjoyed her class as she is so accommodating and friendly. Her efforts in teaching are fabulous, gives her student all the comfort to get successful in this course.
If you want to save grades dont take this class.
Very very kind , understanding and open! If you want a smooth course , I recommend her 100%!
Professor Abedin was a great instructor and was very helpful with any questions I had. Attendance isn't mandatory, but is strongly encouraged for extra credit. Professor Abedin was pretty flexible with due dates. Overall, great class, would strongly recommend for anyone taking English courses. Open to write rec letters as long as you participate.
If you see the rating and take classes, don't even take it. She doesn't care about her student, no proper reply to the email. If you miss a due date, she won't open it again.
One of the easiest and most boring courses I've ever taken. 99% of assignments were taking notes in the way she preferred and then writing about the notes. If you're looking for a brain-off class that won't mentally engage you, this is it.
This class was very easy online. Her deadlines and late policy are reasonable. She gives vague feedback on writing though, but I would take her class again.
Easy class if you put effort into it, she gives good advice funny professor too. I would definitely take her again. One advice participate
Professor Haven is an amazing teacher. I really enjoyed taking her online 1302 class for the Spring 2025 sem. Her course is designed in a way that anyone can succeed if they put enough time into doing the assignments. There are weekly assignments and one final essay. Easy A ! I would definitely recommend her to you all to take her English class.
Professor Haven is one of my favorite professors that I've ever had! She gives easy assignments, gives good feedback, and genuinely seems to like her job. Her assignments are interesting and simple enough that they're fun to do. I looked forward to getting to do her assignments all semester. I highly recommend her.
Very obtainable class, great professor, clear grading criteria, easy work. Only thing she requires is effort. If you put in effort and don't use AI you will pass this class with flying colors. IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL
She is one of my favorite professors. She gives clear instructions on essays and excellent feedback. Participation is essential which gave us an opportunity to enhance our communication skills. Would definitely recommend.
She very good. I got 100/100 for the final. Take this class!!!
Take this class! I love this professor she's amazing. I'm even re taking her again for Eng 1302! The papers are understanding, extra credit, and lectures are interesting! I made a 100% on my final. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS do your work DON'T USE AI and you'll get a A!
Professor Abedin is an excellent English 1301 instructor. She teaches writing in a way that feels natural and intentional. Early assignments may seem simple, but they build skills needed later. Nothing is busywork. Her feedback is clear and constructive, and if you put in the effort, you will leave the class a stronger, more confident writer.
Professor Abedin exstinguished my fear of learning MLA. The way her curriculum is set up is so user-friendly and gradually teaches MLA the proper way. Her class is responsible for building my confidence in MLA writing. Her grading scale is great and she's very accessible. I suggest choosing her early, clearly, her class fills up quick.
