She's a nice and kind professor, but only take this class if you don't have a life outside of school. She requires you to read 3 long books (she's added a 4th book), that requires some serious thinking about what you read because the books are confusing, and answer questions about what you read (10 questions with about 4-5 questions in each).

Not what I thought the typical Eng 102 class would be like. We had far fewer papers to write than I anticipated, which was a great thing. We only read one book. It was quite a slim book at that. I ended up reading it before the class ever started. The class was pretty easy. Do the work and turn it in on-time, as no late assignments are accepted.

Professor Doss runs a challenging but rewarding class. Her feedback helps improve writing skills. unstuck study was a lifesaver for preparing assignments. The workload is manageable with diligent effort.

The teacher is organized but the assignments require a lot of time to be completed (which is fine somehow).Tough grader, the feedback she gives is a whole page copy paste and it does not address your mistakes specifically("At least give an example completed assignment so we can relate to"???).

Took her online class, and it was very frustrating. The professor is quite tough and the course demands a lot of time. It's definitely not for the faint of heart or those with busy schedules. Overall, it didn't meet my expectations. I am disappointed that the other reviews here were misleading.

I took this class and enjoyed it. All of the assignments were clear with instructions and examples. She was in the class and provided updates. She responded to all of my questions. The workload was much easier than the other English 102 I took before. She also offered extra points and flexible deadlines. I would take her class again.

I am taking this class right now. It is one of the best online classes I have taken. The assignments are clear cut. It is a lit class so you have to read but you mostly relate the readings to each other and everyday life. The midterm is takehome and open book, There are no quizzes. I had her for Comp102 last semester. No problems for me. Best prof.

Like someone else mentions. She provided everything I needed. I didn't need to contact her, but when I did because I had a death in the family she was kind and accommodating. There are instructions, examples, and feedback for everything. Dr. Doss also allowed redos and extensions. Best online class I have taken.

I learned a lot from this class with Professor Doss. At first the class was challenging but with her feedback it got easier. I have taken this class two times but didn't pass. With her help I was able to make it through. I'm not afraid of English classes anymore. I don't what some reviews are saying but every assignment had a video and example.

I took this class. I liked that she treated us like adults. She respects that we have lives. Dr Doss didn't waste our time with busy work. She returned assignments quickly with clear grade and feedback. She responded to email quickly. Her weekly announcements were clutch. I had no problems. As long as you do the work, you can get an A.

I hate it took me so long to write a review. I loved the poems and videos she assigned to get us thinking. I still think about what I learned about the waves of feminism and intersectionality. I had heard about those before in sociology but only understood them in this class with the assignments. One of the best classes

Encouraging. I struggled even though the class was organized. I just didn't manage my time. I talked with her and she was honest with me about my chances. Then she gave me a plan to improve. I followed her plan and I am passing. I have learned so much more than expected. She is best. I wish I took her for English 101.

I took this class in summer. It was one of the best classes I have taken at Wright. It was 8 wks so it was fast but the work was manageable with my work schedule. She had assignments where we could ask her questions about what we read to make it like F2F class. It was great. I'm going to take her Lit & Film in the fall before I transfer to UIC.

Dr. Doss style is the best for online classes. Everything is organized by week and unit. She does weekly messages and updates in Brightspace. Readings and videos all have links. Due dates, expectations, and grades are clear and manageable. Responds quickly (and friendly) to email. It was the best experience I have had in an online class in the CCC.

This was one of my favorites because we read and watched videos. We also analyzed a script. We could have our opinion and someone else wrote, Dr. Doss gave us opportunities to ask questions in our assignments and she answered them. If she didn't answer them, she asked followup questions for extra credit. She was so organized. I learned so much.

Super clear and honest grader. Professor Doss grades on the things she says she will. No surprises. Class is organized. All assignments lead to final project. No busy work. I picked my own topic. She helped me when I got stuck with my research. AND, she has live office hour every week, not all online classes do this. Taking her Lit classes next.

I enjoyed this class. We read many things, but they were manageable. The midterm is take-home w/ 2 weeks to submit it. I picked a book I loved my final paper. Great feedback all along. We had two days after the semester ended to turn in our final assignment. I was about to make a big mistake and she emailed me with enough time to fix it. Love her.

Her class was well structured, and every assignment was extremely helpful for the next. She also gives you clear grading criteria. At first, I was put off by some people saying her class was hard, but she is very, very reasonable. Deadlines have no-penalty grace periods, and although assignments are long, follow directions, and you'll be fine.

This class is NOT for those with heavy challenges in English 101. 1. She presents an 11 PAGE Syllabus that explains more ways to fail than succeed. 2. The course is not welcoming to students still learning formatting and Discussion threads. 3. No exceptions to late assignments, and no room to fall behind. 4. 4-8 hours per assignment is just wrong.

Taking her class right now. Straightforward assignments. Has grace periods, accepts two late assignments through a special link, and has a ton of extra credit. Taking 16 wk class in 8wks can be tough but she extends deadlines to help us out. She has live office hours on Zoom and will help you. Responds to email quickly. Best experience so far.

She is very kind and overall a good teacher. I took the online class for LIT 155 and it was a decent amount of work but for most of it there was enough time. PREPARE FOR THE FINAL PROJECT. Make sure to pace yourself. She gives a guideline for how much time you should spend but definitely give yourself extra time for the final.
