A fair teacher. She works with you as long as you work with her in exchange. I have become a better writer because of her.

She is a pain but overall easy class. wouldnt recommend her though honesty. She is just annoying

Professor Brody is overall a very good professor. She has made the writing process extremely easy to get down and has given me tools I use on papers for all of my classes. The class is heavy on group work, but it's all for the sake of being a better writer.

Very Helpful

Treats students like children, especially when asking questions. She definitely knows her material. Must show up and participate to do well.

Brody, is out going and passionate about english. But she does talk to us like were children not young adults. But over all she's helpful, definitely attend office hours.

Heather Brody definitely has all the qualities of a good teacher but her voice is annoying and she talks to you like you're a child. She's nice though. I struggled because I never went to class and missed alot of participation points (it hurts your grade pretty badly) and she wants things done a certain way which doesn't let you be creative.

We wrote 3 papers throughout the semester. She is very clear as to what should be in your paper and gives you essay examples which really help. She is very nice and aproachable. It is very easy to pass this class if you show up and actually participate in the class discussions.

If you're looking for an easy A, then don't bother. If you truly want to learn how to write good papers though, Professor Brody will turn you into an academic writer in a semester. She does tend to be a little merciless with grades, but she's more than willing to help you get it right. I really came to appreciate her in the long run.

Very good at communication, but the class was super boring. Not alot of creativity, just lectures, classwork and homework. very strict

Professor Brody is very clear cut about what she wants in essays and is very helpful in class as she takes time in class to answer questions and provide clarity. Her class, though long and sometimes dry helped me become a better writing.

Professor Brody, although clear in her expectations of students, was not a great teacher. Her lectures can be very long and boring and her voice would often get on my nerves. I had a hard time making myself go to this class. She was not at all interesting, however, you can do well if you put in the effort and follow all of her instructions.

She was awesome! Super helpful. She always provided the lecture slides and provided all you need to write good papers that will meet her expectations. ALWAYS follow the instructions she gives, they are there for a reason.

I loved Professor Brody's class and I learned so much in her class. She always had office hours and if you ever need help she was ready to help you. She was a great teacher but the class was definitely a hard one, she challenges you. I highly recommend her and go to her office hours.

She's there to help you with anything that you need help with.

Professor Brody is amazing, as an instructor. Her instructions only seem confusing because she wants you to actually develop critical thinking skills. What you do in the class is only what's necessary. ! I do admit that sometimes it feels as if she's talking down to you when answering questions. I think she only does that to make you think harder.

Her lectures may seem boring but they are super helpful. If you do the work in class you do not have homework. Overall easy class and great professor. I am now a junior and I ALWAYS reference her powerpoints so save them while you can!!

Brody was a good professor, but I was on her good side. I never had an issue with her and always felt liked she liked me. I got an A and I felt like she was very clear and easy to understand.

She helps you through each step of your essay. Class is boring but you have to go for participation credit.

She gives everything needed to do well in the class and her power points are extremely helpful and not only for her class but other classes too and if all directions for essays are followed you will do well!

Fantastic

I see all these low scores on her and I can understand why. Her tone sometimes feels like she condescending but she really isn't. She just wants her students to succeed and wants to make it clear on how it should be done. Most students think they know what they are doing but they truly need help. Brody tries to redirect students the right way.

Despite what other ratings may say, I think Brody is a solid choice for English. She is extremely clear of what she expects for her papers and challenges you to become a better writer. If you make an effort to show you care about your grade, she will be a huge help for you. She genuinely cares for her students!

Shes a real gem, easy class. A little confusing sometimes when it comes to grading but its clear she wants you to pass. Very thoughtful and helpful. Really teach for the students understanding. Go to class, even though she gives you the slides. Make sure to do every assignment because theres only a few.

Heather Brody is loud, but totally caring. She wants to see you succeed and often gives you the tools to do so. She gives awesome slides that will help you get a good grade on your papers that you must write, and she also gives guides on how to do APA citations, and how to format your paper correctly.

I loved her from the start, easy class and she gives you slides to help with your essays. best teacher hands down. yes she can be loud at times but you'll get used to it and peer reviews are fun and she really does care about her students. PSA go to all the time even if she says not too. it will bless your life.

Professor Brody is my favorite professor I have had. She truly cares about her students and wants you to succeed. Go to her office hours and truly get to know her, she is amazing. The only reason people don't like her is because they show no effort. 100% recommend her!!!

Hands down the best professor I have ever had. She takes the time for you to succeed, but you need to reach out to her and take all of the resources she gives you. I haven't always been good at english and I learned so much from her. Favorite teacher and great to have if you make the time.

wants to see her students become better writers. Is available to help during her office hours. posts the powerpoint slides that are discussed in class as a tool when it comes to writing papers. When it came to choosing a topic for the final paper, I had a few ideas written down, she helped me narrow it down.

First of all, I got a 98 in this class. She is a great professor, and she sets you up to succeed, only reason kids give her bad ratings is because don't try or use all the tools she gives you. She gives you multiple opportunities to pass and to turn in things that you haven't, even if you don't do it then she still gives you a chance!!

Participation is a big deal in Brody's class, but I often found her classes to be enjoyable and worth going to. She also has an extra credit opportunity at the end of the semester if your grade isn't quite where it needs to be.

I love her, I got a 99% almost a 100%. She gives you extra credit all the time, gives you everything needed down to the tee. Her slides I still use to help write essays. BEST teacher I have ever had. The bad ratings there are is due to the fact that they don't try. She will do anything for her students. I always sucked at English and she helped me!

Hands down one of the best professors ever! I went into her class scared because I am not the best writer. I would average C's on all of my essays in high school. However, I took advantage of office hours and her lectures and accomplished getting an A on all three of the essays with finishing the class with an A!

great at explaining the lectures and what is to be expected in a paper. very caring about her students and their grades. works with you to make sure you get at least some credit on each assignment. would recommend this class.

Great teacher, really cares about her students, gives good feedback, and helps you with your essays.

By far the most organized teacher I have ever had, if organization is important to you as a student professor Brody is definitely the way to go. She makes papers extremely clear cut and easy to understand even for those that English is not their strong suit like me.

shes really kind and cares for you.

She is such a great professor but make sure you go to her office hours for your papers.

Dr. Brody is a great professor who really cares for her students. She will provide slides in announcements. Slides are very helpful - how to use APA, paper checklists, requirements on the paper etc. You will definitely want to attend class. If you do getting a good grade shouldn't be to difficult. Papers are graded as expected - no surprises.

She was a great teacher, and she really cares about your success in the class. She may come off a bit unhappy sometimes, but she truly loves what she does and wants to be able to help her students.

If you are a great writer this class is for you. All we did in this class was write essays and help classmates with them. Professor Brody is great professor and she helps you through all the steps of the essays assigned. She is very helpful in and out of the classroom.

She cares about all of her students. You will not do well in the class if you do not pay attention to the slides. She gives great feedback if you go into her office hours and ask her for help. Do not be afraid to ask questions and always pay attention in class so you can be successful! Overall, I highly recommend!

Dr. Brody was an amazing ENG105 teacher who would guide her students throughly for each essay that was assigned.

Most people who gave her a bad rating only did so due to the fact that they did not fully take advantage of the resources she had provided. She gives numerous templates as well as opportunities for the students to meet with her to give feedback on their papers. It was an amazing class along with an amazing professor with a goal for you to succeed.

Dr. Brody is a great professor. She engages with her students daily to make sure that they are comprehending the material she is teaching. If you are able to, get her blended class. This is where one day of class is mandatory, and the other is optional and used for course assistance. She is very knowledgable and will help in any way that she can!

Dr. Brody was a great teacher and gave us clear directions on what to do during our 3 papers. Dr. Brody had fun with the class and wasn't too strict, but we always did productive things in class. She always gave good feedback and gave examples of how the paper should look. If you ask questions and participate, she will help you succeed.

She is amazing because she holds your hand while writing your essays. For example she gives layouts on exactly what she wants and she gives check list for your essay.

Professor Brody is a great teacher. She knows what she is talking about for both ENG-104 and ENG-106. It may not be the most interesting Gen Ed, but if you go to class, pay attention to the slides, and follow directions it is an easy class and you will do well.

Dr. Brody is an amazing professor. For each paper she made slides that had checklist and sample paragraphs as models. If she sees that you are putting in the work she will go above and beyond to help you. I would recommend to try not to miss class just because she gives vital info and explains things very well. I will definitely pick her for 106.

The only reason why I didn't get an A was because I slacked it and I procrastinate on my essays. She has different TA's that help her grade papers but overall her class was very easy and there is nothing negative about her or her class. She teaches the lessons very well and also uploads videos of lessons and it is very helpful.

Shes really nice and honestly keeps the training wheels on. She gives u very specific outlines for all the essays. She does give kinda a lot of hw but is very thorough for directions if u go to class. No tests just had 3 papers. I recommend her. I picked her for 106 again.

Dr. Brody was amazing! She gives very clear outlines for papers and explains exactly what she wants from you. She will give you class time to complete parts of your paper of DQ's.

She literally gives checklist for everything you need in your essays, in order and she even gives examples that are color coded. The powerpoints were crucial this year! So, yeah if you did not go over the powerpoints, you're missing out on IMPORTANT info!

Dr. Brody was very helpful in ENG-105 and made it a lot easier. she goes step by step with you for every paper. Dr Brody and the IAs are available to proofread your papers before submitting them, but their appointments fill very fast.

Attendance for this class was not mandatory since she always posted the sides she went over in class, but I recommend going to her lectures for better clarification of what she is looking for in papers. Her PowerPoints were always helpful to use when writing papers and she would give us sample paragraphs of each essay.

She is my favorite English teacher that I have ever taken. she gave out specific guidelines on what she would require. I was able to use her guidelines and t helped me with my future English classes. she would also take her own time to meet with every student to go over our papers. I was able to fix everything and get a good grade. 10/10.

I took Dr. Brody for ENG105 and 106 and loved her both times. These courses are paper heavy and Dr. Brody's class is set up to make it hard for procrastination. Each discussion question leading up to a paper is something that will be incorporated in the final draft. Highly recommend Dr. Brody!

Dr. Brody is AMAZING! She is so kind and so helpful. I have never had a teacher that is so caring to all her students. This class requires a lot of papers, but she gives you so many resources she practically writes it for you. There is absolutely no way to fail this class. I would take any class that Dr. Brody teaches. I LOVE HER!

Professor Brody would work better in a high school setting. She heavily valued participation both to answering her questions and class discussions. She gives good feedback, but is a bit intimidating because she asks you a lot at once to get you to learn. Paying attention and taking notes while applying it to papers makes it very easy to pass.

This teacher was very good. She gives you so many powerpoints of information on how to do the essays, which is super helpful. If you actually pay attention and do the work its not a hard class. If you slack off it can be really hard to catch up. She gives us lots of time to work on essays. Overall really great teacher!

Dr. Brody is amazing! She is very good at explaining the subject material thoroughly and gives great examples and checklists for your assignments. Your grade in this class will almost entirely depend on 3 essays, but that's how all ENG-105 classes work at GCU. If you're willing to pay attention and you actually want to learn, Dr. Brody is great.

Dr. Brody was the first English prof I had here and I am so thankful. She is very nice and caring about her students, as long as they give her respect in return. If you go to class and pay attention you will do great and it will be easy. She gives you EVERYTHING you need and more to succeed. What you put into this class is what you get out.

Brody is one of the kindest humans you will ever meet. She really does care and try to advocate for her students in any way possible. If you miss a class, without an emergency reason, lost participation, which she was not lenient about, but she gave us clear powerpoints and rubrics to follow to make an A.

Dr. Brody is awesome. She is friendly and cares about her students. She walks you through essays and gives you everything you need to be successful, as long as you listen and pay attention. She has slides with all the information you'll ever need. She is a tough grader, however if you have been paying attention you'll be just fine.

participation is taken every day. essays were all outlined and provided exact information that needed to be included. she is always willing to work with you. some of the essays appeared to be confusing, and require a lot more detail if you want to stray from the assigned topics, so my best advice is to just choose a provided topic and it will be EZ

Not the worst but a hard grader. Must go to class, participation is needed.

Goes over powerpoints in class and gives all the information needed for assignments. Goes over grading rubric so you know what is required. Helps with essays and answers all questions asked.

English has never been easy for me, nor have I ever enjoyed English, but Dr. Brody didn't exactly change how I felt about English but changed my perspective and how I proceeded into the subject. I felt more confident in what I was learning and applying to essays and that I was capable of actually successfully writing an essay.

As someone who has struggled with writing and English in general, I have never felt so confident about my writing. She gives excellent lectures and is very engaging, giving you everything you need to be successful with checklists of the requirements. She also posts all presentations she uses in class so you don't feel like you have to take notes.

Dr. Brody is amazing! Her lectures are engaging and entertaining. She gives you every step to writing essays and you do most the stuff in class. Lots of talking with groups and kahoots

Dr. Brody along with her IA's (Nel and Monique) are very caring for their students and will go above and beyond to help them pass the class. Attendance is critical for participation points and learning the content. PowerPoints are posted on Halo for reviewing, and there are 3 papers for the entire class (250 points each). Overall, an A+ experience!

She is very good! If you go to class you will do good. She helped me and understood where I was coming. She always helped me and she notices if you care or not.

Dr. Brody gives clear instructions in all her slides and was very helpful when it came to start writing the papers. She provides templates to help you write and does a great job at explaining the criteria. I definitely recommend this teacher and am taking her again.

Dr. Brody is for sure not a cookie-cutter teacher in the slightest. What I mean is that her blunt teaching style may attract certain people while giving others a bitter experience. If you did something wrong in class (ex: not paying attention), she WILL call you out! I gave her a 4 because her IA's helped my essays more than her long talks.

Dr. Brody was the BEST. She personally came up to me to ask me if I needed individual help on my paper. Attendance to her class is important but interesting and valuable.

She was a very tough grader but the IA's helped ALOT and gave good answers. She never answered a question with a clear answer, and would answer it with another question... Participation in this class was super easy, usually DQ's or just showing up.

the class I took with her was blended so we would only meet one day of the week but her assignments were all broken up into little pieces that we would combine to make our final draft making the assignment very easy for those who did the blended assignment. as long as you respect her she will respect you

Dr. Brody is amazing, don't be fooled by her other ratings. She is easy to reach and makes every lecture fun. She will often let you out of class early and make one class a week optional. The assignments are engaging and mostly fun, if you sit up front she will remember you and will have good conversations.

Everything about her being condescending and rude is true, I saw it many times. This class is very easy and she gives you everything you need. Her lectures are boring and long but for participation and to not feel lost with her overly long slides that she posts, show up. Ask for proof reading from her or IAs. trust me- SHOW UP FOR PEER REVIEW DAYS

I would love to take another course with Dr. Brody in the future! She is so kind and thoughtful and truly cares about her students. She provides so many helpful resources and wants her students to succeed. Participation matters; attend class, stay engaged, and you'll have the best semester!

Dr. Brody is an outstanding professor. While she can be blunt, her feedback and advice is always helpful. Get to know her, participate, and ask for help when you need it. Effort is appreciated by her. She provides clear slides, which are always posted after class. Some work is difficult, but it's always useful. I'm grateful to have had her.

Professor Brody's ENG105 class is challenging but rewarding. While she is a tough grader, her feedback is valuable. Stay engaged, attend class, and utilize resources like unstuckstudy - it really helps with study prep. The work is worthwhile, and you'll learn a lot.

I loved heather Brody. I took her about a year ago and after taking her I think this rate my professor is way too hard on her. She is a caring professor who wants to see you do well. The class has 3 major essays that make up most of your grade. She gives you a literal checklist of what she grades for, follow that and you'll get 100% on every essay.

Other than the first paper she writes like 70% of your paper for you, half of my quotes for the last 2 papers I wrote she provided for everyone in class. If you show up and write down what she says, and go to blended days and ask her for feedback You'll do well. I didn't on the first paper and got a 86, I did for the last 2 and got 100s on both.

Dr. Brody was a very nice professor. Some of the classes were funny and others were very agitating. We would have I believe 3 APA quizzes. Dr. Brody made APA slides that I use in ever since class to this day! She is a strict teacher that goes by the rules but if you like that you'll do great!

Dr. Brody is a professor that actually makes you want to come to class. I remember one day I came in and I just looked awful. She pulled me aside and I explained that I have not been able to sleep in about 3 days. She immediately closed my computer and said "sweetie, as much as this matters, you matter more." That basically sums her up.

She is one of the best professors I've had so far. She does blended days so one required class one optional. GO TO CLASS AND BLENDED DAYS and you will pass this class. Going to blended days (optional class) you can get one on one feedback for your assignments. She is very detailed orientated with assignments. But all in all she is a good professor.

I loved Dr. Brody! I was in a blended class so we had one lecture day a week and the other day was to come in if you wanted extra help. I loved it because we could get one on one help from the professor and IAs and we didn't have to stay the whole time or even come at all. If you come to blended days and ask questions you will do well in thisclass.

I loved professor Brody and will try to have her again for ENG-106. She is a tough grader but if you come to class, pay attention, try, and ask for feedback, you will do well in this class. She makes things VERY clear and will repeat it multiple times if it's important to know. Thursdays were optional, but helped A LOT. Highly recommend!

Easy class. The Tuesday lectures can be heavy but rarely last the full amount of time. Projects are worked on over several weeks so very manageable and no homework if you do the work in class. I got an A on all the assignments and never went to the blended days. Highly recommend.

I thought Dr. Brody was nice person and a good professor. I personally thought the class was very easy. There are three major projects and everything else is just participation credit. Everything is basically given to you if you pay attention. There's always a sample project and if you follow along and hit all the major points you will do well.

She is controversial when it comes to if she is a good teacher, simply SIT IN THE FRONT and ask her questions and she's the best teacher. Blended days are incredible, Dr. Brody gives the best feedback. She makes updated APA slides that you can use throughout college that has everything you need to know. She does not do essay's, only Canva projects.

There are no essays in this class, just Canva projects. My number one tip is to attend the blended days. This class is such an easy A if you go and get feedback on your assignments. She can be a bit harsh but she gives very clear revisions and on blended days, you're there for 45 minutes MAX. Will be taking her again.

I loved this class! It followed a blended curriculum so one day a week was lecture and the other was blended for feedback. It was so nice having that time to get feedback and helped my grade a ton. She's funny and caring and really tries to make sure everyone passes.
