Funny as hell. Great teacher! Her tattoo rocks.

She is a cool teacher!. She is into poetry so if your good at it she will really work with you. I had her for english and for one paper she just told me to translate the meaning of a long poem of mine and she will take it inplace of a class assignment.

super easy papers but the stories you have to read are totally ridiculous and boring. Easy class

By her flakiness you'd almost never know she is one of the most brilliant people walking Clark's campus. I really enjoyed the discussions in this literature class. The four papers were moderately easy but you had the option to re-write any of them.

I gained a new appreciation for some of the more classic poetic forms and - Well she is one hell of a professor and a stone hottie (hotty? - Wher is spell-check when you need it?

Ms. Thompson does rock! She is darn tough (I had to re-write every paper) BUT I actually learned how to write a term paper! A great teacher! If you are willing to work hard, she is willing to work hard right along with you. If you want to learn – take

I GOT AN "A" IN HER CLASS, AND IT WAS AN EASY ONE. SHE ALLOWS YOU TO REWRITE EVERY PAPER WITH HER SUGGESTIONS FOR A BETTER GRADE. I AM UNSURE HOW SOMEONE COULD FLUNK THIS CLASS!

Fun class. Great room discussions. Very willing to help if asked. Always sincere. She was thoughtful and considerate, excellent qualities for any teacher!

Thompson was a great professor, and I learned to enjoy that class. Some of the discussions were kind of boring, but overall I liked the class. She's a very nice lady, and she is very willing to help you be a better writer.

Her speaking style doesn't match her intelligence. I was off put from her first couple of lectures, but once i got to know her better, she really is a remarkable instructor. Her teaching style is fantastic, she's definitely willing to go the extra mile, but don't take advantage of it. Work for it.

A little eccentric, Leopard tatoo and all, but how cool is that, she lets you rewrite your papers (4 total) and helps you do it. This gal is the epitome of an awesome instuctor. Absolutely brilliant is an understatement.Genuinely cares about people but don't---- with her she can be bad to the bone!

She is one of my favorite professors! Very helpful and great personality!

One of the most intelligent, humorous, and caring teachers I have ever had the opportunity to study with. She actually cares about her material and her students, and has no fear of being a legitimate human as well as a talented teacher.

I would highly recommend Ms. Thompson. She is the most nices instructor in the English department that I know. Her teaching style "rocks", she lets you revise your all your paper for you to learn your mistakes. Overall shes a 12 from 1-10.

Ms. Thompson is a GREAT teacher. She lets you pick your topic for your paper and does everything she can to help you. Taking her class made me decide to major in English.

helps make sense of the mumbo jumbo of poetry

Professional yet funny. A hard grade giver yet willing to give hours of her own time to help you improve both uour skills and grade. I learned more in her class than in all my previous forays into writing effectively. The most entertaining, intelligent and beautiful (seriously hot!) professor I have ever had the priveledge to studied with!

Both classes that I took with her were very enjoyable. She tends to include her political outlook and view of society, but who doesn't. Very friendly and energetic, she is flexible when it comes to assignments and very understanding. Great teacher.

So far, the most entertaining class I have been in. She's a bit eccentric, but I actually learned a few things and became interested in some aspects of history that I didn't know existed. Not too difficult and willing to help (it appears she is willing to help to the point where she has no time for herself).

This was a film class and it was the easiest three credits I've ever received. Thompson is very friendly, encourages lively group discussion and has a great taste in movies (she has a lovely, dry sense of humor, as well). You write four 3-page essays and give two, very short oral presentations. Couldn't be more simple!

She was an awsome teacher. She did her job well, and before her class i hated ENGLISH but now i know i ca do it thanks to her..... take her you will love the class. Only three papers, and no mid-term or final!!!!!!

Recomend! Very interesting. Lepord print women, you can spot her a mile away.Failed the class because I didn't get all my work turned in, but that was my fault she was a very good teacher.

Heidi is the coolest, quirkiest (in a tottaly good way!) teacher around. She made Eng 101 really interesting and treated the students with respect. Highly recommended.

I had her as a teacher a few years ago at almost 50 years of age. I hated english and now I love it. Wish I'd had her in high school - it would have changed my career choices. Highly recommend.

Fun class! You just watch movies and write papers.

she is entertaining and keeps your attention. no tests just papers with every chance to re-do papers great teacher

Heidi LOVES cinema, and really knows her movies. She's open to other viewpoints, and is actually a very easy teacher to please. Make sure to use correct punctuation, or she'll get you! Overall, I really enjoyed this class and would recommend her. She's VERY open to helping with re-writes, and very flexible with papers overall. Great teacher!

Heidi is an amazing teacher!! I highly recommend taking her class.She makes english fun and interesting.She actually cares about her students and wants to see them do well. She gives you the chance to re-do your papers if you get a bad grade and she will help you as much as you need. Seriously, she is a great teacher and so helpful!!

Best English teacher ever. Very clear and gives you so many ideas on what to write and how to write it. If you hate English, you wont after this class. Highly recommend her

Heidi was awesome! A bit scatterbrained, but it's not a detriment to to the class whatsoever. She's laid back, but really enthusiastic about movies. The woman knows her stuff, that's for sure. I absolutely adored this class! You're in for a real treat with Heidi.

I don't like to write. This teacher was able to keep my attention and allow me to be me. If your not sure who to take ENG 101 from, take it with Thompson or now Rich.

Prof. Thompson is an awesome teacher! I wish she taught Engl 102! The subject matter is fun and entertaining, and she really cares about your success in her class. She is extremely helpful and gives you the opportunity to re-write your papers if you wish. I highly recommend he class!

She is a very easy teacher. She is a little out there, but over all she is a interesting teacher. I agree with the one below me, she does take forever to give you your papers back, so it is hard to follow what exactly your grade is. I would definitely take another class with her!

Heidi is a very nice lady. This was my first class since high school, I was scared at first but she calmed me down. She is not strict at all, she understands everything. I personally liked her as a teacher. Now I am taking english 102 and the teacher is strict, wish I was more prepared.

She was almost always late to class and would release the class late. She teaches you about movies but grades on your ability to write an essay (shes also an english professor). She has never taught us anything to help us write our essays better (they are 80% of your grade)but its still a fairly easy class

She is an awesome teacher. She takes the time to go over things with you if you dont understand. She also allows you to revise your essays for a better grade. I really enjoyed this class. I never saw "subtitled" films before. I loved them. I would highly recommend her. I cant wait to take eng 101 from her.

you write 3 papers, a small presentation, a slightly longer presentation, and a take home final which is another paper. Teacher is easy, she grades a bit difficult but allows you to re-write the papers. I got an A- and didn't re-write my 3rd paper

all one has to do is show up write your essays, Heidi is an engaging teacher. ecentric and unorganized. however she is fun has a wonderful sense of humor and gives students every chance to make good grade in her class..

I recommend her. Amazing, funny, yes eccentric, but lectures went by quickly and where a good time. Definitely not boring. She goes over a variety of writing styles. Plays movies to demonstrate a genre. 4 papers, three 3-4 pg and final was 5-6 pg. She must have gotten better at timely grading, because it only took a week or two to get mine back.

I was worried going into this class being my 1rst time back to school in 4 yrs. Im glad I took her class. Yes she can be a little loopy, but it made it enjoyable for me. She can take a while to get papers back, but it wasn't a problem. She will work with you on your revisions and does anything possible to help u w/ ur topic, and no text book rqird

Heidi is awesome!! A bit eccentric, however that makes an otherwise boring class and subject fun. She was a tremedous help to me in learning both MLA and APA styles. Very hard on gramnmar, and strict grading on essays, however she allowed you to correct the mistakes, and changed the grade. Great sense of humor, treats everyone equal.

Heidi is fun, funny, and smart. She can be a little ditsy but that was what made her class fun. We did four essays and I didn't do the best on them, but she lets you revise it for a better grade. I recommend her class.

Heidi is a profoundly compassionate and caring teacher.It's easy to write her off as ditzy, but that doesn't do her justice as a teacher. If you actually invest your time in meeting with her to go over your essays you will learn a tremendous amount. She has an expert eye for editing, and knows her subject really well.

I absolutely love this teacher! She grades pretty strongly on grammar but lets you revise your papers for a better score. She explains everything so I really understand what is expected in the assignment. I like how she gives you tons of essay ideas. We did not have a lot of homework other than the 4 essays. Take a class from her!

I had her a couple of quarters ago. She is really nice. She is willing to work with you no matter what the problem is. I would recommend her to anyone that is taking ENGL 101.

She was one of the worst ENG 101 teachers I ever had this past Fall quarter 2012, very flaky when it comes to making appts with her, and all she talks about is her film stuff more than an english teacher ever should. I would not recommend her!!

A wonderful caring teacher, Willing to help students on her own time with questions and essays. Will allow revisions to papers and does alot with movies. I loved her class, she isnt real specific sometimes though and is a bit spacey but fun. She is a very real person. Would take her class anytime.

Very kind and sweet old lady. Extremely smart. She might not seem like it but she really is smart. It's slightly difficult to approach but once you get talking to her, then she helps out a lot. She even allowed you to revise your papers. Everything except for the four essays were a little too easy.

So far, we've watched horrible movies, rushed through class time with little instruction, and all my papers have been graded only in grammar, something I honestly don't think helps with the purpose of this class. I am very disappointed and I don't recommend anyone take it. She seems spacey and unorganized, but I admit she is very willing to help.

Amazing instructor! She respects what every students writes about. This is a COLLEGE course, so expect your grammar to be graded. All of the movies she shows are somehow revolutionary, pay attention. Overall, great experience.

I liked this class. We read stories, and talked about them in class. There were 4 essays, but she gave you the chance to redo them. Great class!

Very surprised at the horrible reviews on her. She's a wonderful teacher. She's a bit funky but is absolutely willing to help you whenever you ask. Heidi wants people to do well in her class and succeed. Overall, one of the better professors at Clark I've had the pleasure to have.

This was a great class. I am usually intimidated with classes that require heavy writing. By allowing me to revise my essays, using her questions, I went deeper in my analysis and became a more confident writer. I learn a lot.

I had a great time with her. If you are already comfortable with your writing and simply need practice and constructive feedback, she is great. If you are not as comfortable and need more help with basic concepts you may get a little lost. Her grading is tough, but she lets you revise all of your papers without penalty except for the final.

She is a fantastic teacher. Not a lot of homework. IF you are able to meet with her (she overbooks herself) she is great. She really explains a lot. I have nothing bad to say about her class.

Awesome class! She was a great teacher, this was her first time teaching De-extinction and I think she rocked it! She was super informative, even though she did ramble a bit at times.

Long papers but only 4 throughout the quarter, 3 of the 4 paper could be revised for a better grade. She was fun and really into what she was talking about. All paper topics were interesting. I would recommend her class.

I love this class and Heidi really makes the class interesting with a variety of tops to read and write about. I highly recommend her!!

Heidi is a great film teacher with a passion for the art. If you're interested in movies and know you can write a decent paper this is a very easy and enjoyable class, as you just watch movies and discuss. She takes a while to get papers back, which didn't matter to me. Her lectures are very interesting, with lots of fun discussion.

Heidi is an amazing English instructor. I loved her lectures. There are some reading assignments and essays to write. 3 out of 4 essays could be revised for a better grade. If you engage in class, you will easily pass it with an A.

She was pretty cool. Funny also. Mayeb about 5 papers, 4+ pages each. Not bad because she have you suggested topics but you could also choose. She had contests about like best title. I won 5 dollars cuz I had the best one. Her grading is on a 4 point scale which I believe is kinda best because you can get a 3 and get a B. I didn't need the txt book

I thought Heidi was an awesome teacher. She was very passionate about her class topics and graded fairly. Overall she was funny and laid back, I will be taking more of her classes!

Heidi Rich's Intro to Cinema is one of the best classes I have ever had. Heidi explains every aspect of her subject very well. She is super duper kind and nice. She will meet outside of class to help with essays, takes revisions on anything throughout the entire course at any time. Very easy and generous, highly recommend.

Heidi made her class very interesting with topics that inspired me to expand my writing! She is passionate and entertaining. I am planning on taking more classes with her in the future!

Heidi is amazing! Her lectures are interesting and she truly enjoys what she does. She is willing to go to big lengths to make sure you succeed and is very generous in helping. Massively recommend.

Heidi is probably the coolest person that I have ever met. She is extremely unique in a wonderful way. Much can be learned if one pays attention. She knows her stuff and then some. Heidi encourages students' opinions and is always considerate and respectful when hearing them. She's always eager to help and has tremendous patience. Great educator!!

Prof Rich holds exciting class discussions, assigns interesting in-class projects, and seems genuinely intrigued by everyone's paper topics. However, except for the automatic A on the final presentation, I had no idea what my grade was until I saw my transcript. Heidi's a fun professor, but her teaching style is for already confident writers.

Heidi is an amazing teacher! Her essays are fun, interesting, and she is very interested in what you write. My one bit of advice is to make an interesting headline for your essay;)

Heidi is a great teacher for 101. She is interested in everyones writing. There are four papers and you have two weeks to write them. She is so sweet, but is a little unorganized.

Heidi was amazing! I had her for Intro to Cinema and I enjoyed her so much, I signed up for her English 101 class the following quarter. There are a total of four essays that she assigns, and she hands back the first three for you to make corrections if needed. She can be a little disorganized at times, but is very sweet and a passionate teacher.

Heidi is a very special lady. She's got a great sense of humor, but isn't afraid to get serious when she needs to. She gives good specific feedback on papers. She encourages class discussion and cares about what everybody has to say. This is both a blessing and a curse because sometimes it completely derails the class.

Dr. RichI (Thompson) in my day was a breathe of fresh air. I learned something every single day in her class. She is witty and fun, but commands respect. We had some pretty advanced and engaged students in most classes which really meant she could shine. After my first great experience I signed up for every class she offered and really enjoyed them

Highly recommend her. Cares about her students and works with them to help them succeed.

Heidi is one of the best professors I have ever had! She really has helped me find my direction and love for English!! She is a fair grader with reasonable expectations. Would definitely recommend her after taking both English 101 and 102 with her.

Heidi is a great teacher! She's a bit disorganized and forgetful, but she more than makes up for it in giving very interesting lectures and reading material. I enjoyed writing every assignment I received! :) I recommend this class to more artsy people. She discussed the basics, but not a whole lot of attention was spent on technical stuff.

Took a couple of her literature classes; all were great. She's a bit disorganized, but if you're pretty English-keen already, the class will be easy. Chance to redo 3/4 of the papers you turn in, and the last paper is easiest to write. Really nice lady who is making her way through the world like the rest of us.

Heidi Rich cares and is very caring that you understand the curriculum and gives you the best opportunity to succeed. I took her class 25 years after I graduated from high school. She brought me back up to speed and gave me the tools to succeed further with my English classes.

Heidi is a great teacher! She took the time to meet with me to revise my papers and explain more in depth on the grammar mistakes Ive made. One thing Ill say when taking this class is be sure to have the thesis really pointed out in the conclusion. Not copy and paste, but just reword it.

She was an awesome teacher! Very good feedback and lectures! Also very carrying!

I LOVED Heidi, she's such a gem. She knows a lot about different movies and books that I've never even heard about. She gets sidetracked sometimes, but she makes class interesting. Plus, only 4 papers for the entire term, and you get to revise them and turn them back in for a better grade. She does title contests for each too and you can win $5.

Great teacher.

Loved her! Would definitely take her class again.

Love Heidi! She is a very caring teacher and has a passion for what she does 10/10 would recommend her. loved her class!

Profesor Heidi is funny. She is a little unorganized but after all she teaches well, she lets you writes essays again after she corrects them and gives full credit for it. Good class.

Dr. Heidi Rich is a very sweet lady. She is fairly unorganized but in a very fun way, and shes very passionate about writing. My girlfriend and I took her for English 101 and she loved us. She gives great feedback on our papers and makes writing much more enjoyable. She also lets you redo any papers you did bad on. Very fun and easy class.

For my first time back in school after more than 20 years, I feel very fortunate to have gotten Heidi! I do alright with grammar and punctuation, but she certainly polished me up. She loves what she teaches, and for that, her class was fun and interesting. Fantastic feedback on papers, and accepts re-submission of revised papers for a better grade.

I'm currently taking her class and I wanted to share my love for this prof. She isn't a tough grader at all and she has a certain respect for all her students. Her class is a little lecture heavy, but as long as you pay attention it's easy to succeed. Only assignments are essays, 2 week due dates and avg. 4 pages, double space. Fun class!

She has an old soul, so her way of teaching is not as modern. She's very sweet, kind and really wants her students to succeed.

She is caring, honest, grade criteria is clear, and Inspires you do reach deep into yourself. I loved her energy, long class flew by. Will look forward to crossing her path in the future

Heidi's an accepting and funny professor. I saw some negative feedback and I was scared to take her class. The papers are easy (4 papers, 4-6 pages.) If you want to catch up your work you'll need to make an appointment in person. I went to her room to make up from a C+ to an A. This class isn't for everyone, but if it's for you, you'll ace it!

I think Dr. Rich is a gem. I received very specific feedback on my papers and subsequently improved the quality of my writing. She's very passionate. Yes, she could v use Canvas more but as long as you actually show up and pay attention even 75% of the time you should be squared away.
