Do not take her for Freshman Comp. She likes to play favorites, always picks apart your papers although you never have any idea what she wants and is not helpful at all. Awful teacher.

I busted my ASS for a A-. You either get it or dont with her grades. I went to her once about why I got a horrible grade, she wasnt clear as to why and after i explained myself she wouldnt listen. Pressed for a certain topic for my paper and midway I wanted to change it and wouldnt let me, then didnt like my paper. I hated her.

this lady needs to get the stick outta her ass. never smiles. nothing but negative feedback. always looks pissed off and like she's doing us a favor by teaching us. Not always clear in directions or expectations. shes one to stay away from if you love english. she'llkill your gpa and enthusiasm. yuk.

All i can say is avoid her at all cost. Everyone in the class didn't agree with how she teached. When the whole class has a problem with the teacher, it has to tell you something. The women is brillant, but she too brilliant for her own good.

Horrible! Avoid at all cost is right. She will scar you for life. Thinks she is hot definitely not. If you love English if it is your passion she will kill that passion.

The Worst! Should never be allowed in a classroom, probably should not be allowed in public! does not care about students or anyone else. When you talk to her she nods her head but you can tell she is thinking about something else.

DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASSES FROM THIS THING. I CAN'T CALL HER A PERSON BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT QUALIFY. DON'T BELIEVE IT. READ HER RATINGS FROM NYU. I WISH I HAD. OR READ THE ARTICLES ABOUT HER BOOK (THE ARTICLES AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET) SHE IS A DISGRACE TO FEMINISM!

I scheduled a meeting with her. I made a special trip in 20 miles. When I arrived she was not there. I waited 20 minutes and she never showed up. I asked at the office and no one could tell me where she was. She could have called or emailed she has yet to say anything about it.

If you have a complaint don't bother going to the department they protect her. Go directly to the Dean!!!

Sure you should be able to pull off a C but why screw up your GPA or deal with this pain in the ass, when there are better professors in the department.

Bad Teacher Bad Class Beware

The worst experience of my academic life.

Hard Grader,Not a Nice Person,Has No Respect for People or their viewpoints or feelings. She will crush you if she does not agree with you. Thinks she knows everything. Fails half the class. Stay Away

God help whoever takes this class she is horrible extremely inconsiderate &rude she gives a ton of work & will rip your papers opinions thoughts &anything that is said or written down apart avoid this class at all costs unless you want to fail &repeat it next semester

Grades unfairly, is always in a bad mood as if she does not want to be there. will rip you to shreds for any idea that does not agree with her beliefs

Big Mistake! Don't take her class. She grades hard and plays favorites.

Takes herself way too seriously. Thinks she knows everything. She does not. Never smiles, never laughs, never is light hearted or handed about anything. Will ruin you passion for the subject.

Extreme mood swings! Probably suffers from Bipolar disease or some other mental disorder. Beware!!!!

The worst experience of my life. She does not teach you anything except that you have to bend to her whims.

Do not take her class you will regret it.

God aweful

um ppl in the eng dep need to get on the same page this teacher will teach u a new useless form of english all wrong aspiring english majors dnt listen to her i think she should get a new job

She is mental stay away from her class.

Her freshmen comp is the same class as intermediate comp, same papers, same grading. Always is rude and picks on students. grades harshly C+ is the highest grade if you did a great job. You cant have a opinion, its like a math teacher teaching English, a devil, Needs to be fired.

Lowest grade on a paper I have ever received, and I am far from a poor writer. Absolutely terrible when I asked for more clarity on what she wanted. Probably dropping the class.

Worst teacher I ever had. So unorganized, has no idea how to stick to her own syllabus and is always late to class (with a horrible excuse to back it up). Rude to students who do not know what she does. Considering it was a 200 level survey class she should not expect people to know everything about Brit Lit

Geller is a ruthless persons and is very unclear in what she wants in the classwork her grading is horrible and seems that she doesnt even care to teach at all but only to get paid. lack of effort and a sad semester for you if you have her

She's a very mono-tone professor so its very easy to drift off and not pay attention. Her work load is a lot but she does break the assignments up in pages. you will need your printing money for her class.

I took this professor bc it was the only class that fit in my schedule and I still wish I hadnt. I ignored the reviews, hoped for the best I SHOULDNT HAVE. I'm an english major and im saying run. the work wasnt even that bad, it was just that she loves publicly humiliating people. Abrasive, aggressive, offensive. seriously RUN.

Hated this class and the professor, she is awful she's mean she thinks she's the best writer known to man and I would preferably stay away from this class! Went for extra help and was a complete waste of my time I will never get back

On the last day of class, she asked all the students what we did for work. When I told her I owned a comic book shop, she threw open her mouth and guffawed! The whole class looked at me with a face that said, "It sucks being you." Now, I was no kid (not that that would have mattered). I was 43 and I've owned the store since 1989. It was so cruel!

Worst professor I've ever had. She doesn't recognize you in or out of class and doesn't try to (she uses name tags for the entire semester) and expects students to print 20 copies of 7+ page rough drafts. No help in the classroom unless you're her favorite. Assigns 3 essays total, one of which is handed in as the final. Uses MLA. AVOID HER!

For the love of God don't take her!! worst professor I ever had, all around mean person. its that bad

WORST CLASS EVER. You are only graded on three things the whole semester (presentation, participation, and final). You only get one grade back the whole semester at around midterms and then your final in december. I thought I was doing great in the class bc I got an A on the project but then failed the class. DONT TAKE!!!!

Very unapproachable, as an english major I was surprised by the grade I received (she only gave us two grades all semester so you are most likely surprised in a good or bad way by the end of the semester). She makes you feel like you can't ask questions and isn't afraid to tell you how wrong you are about a text infant of the entire class.

If I had to redue my schedule for this semester, I would have never chosen her. Good luck to people taking this as a requirement because she is the worst.

When I went to ask her for help, she was very condescending. I've also seen her put down other students when they tried their best to answer a question and got it wrong. Horrible professor and just don't take this class, okay? Don't torture yourself. It's not worth it.

Always feel uncomfortable speaking in class because she tells everyone they're wrong if they don't interpret the readings exactly as she does. She's unapproachable, takes weeks to respond to e-mails, never gives grading requirements, and gives no feedback (for the 3 grades). As an English major, my grade will be unrepresentative of my knowledge.

The vibe that is created in her classroom is not very conductive for education. Be prepared to feel belittled and to have your GPA drop. There are only 3 essays the entire semester and no other assignments. With only 3 essays and an almost non existent grading policy you have a recipe for a disaster of a course

horrible professor. extremely rude and embarrasses students in class. grades unreasonably and will not accept work if it is not up to her standards. always says how the course was hard when she was in college but expects the students to know everything already. DO NOT take her. worse professor at ccsu.

I went to class everyday, and did all the assignments. However I did not get the grade I needed to pass this class even though I fulfilled the requirements that she wrote for our essay. Without getting too specific, I would not take this professor ever again, and she was rude to me.

Worst Professor I ever had. If middle English is not something you are interested in do not take this class. Her lectures are boring and she talks about what she believes is true. If you disagree with what she is saying you are wrong. Unclear about grading and what she expects. Basically left to try your best and hope for the best. Terrible.

There are times where she will randomly ask questions that no one knows the answer to. She will then randomly select someone in class to answer which makes things even worse for that person as she will embarrass them without care. She will also kick you out of class if you show the slightest hint of being sick which counts as an unexcused absence.

Openly embarrassed students during class (Identified & mocked students who struggled w/ run on sentences). Repeatedly claimed she was the best English professor in CT. LOL. Disturbing enough, this "professor" shoved me in the hall in an attempt to rush ahead of me. So much for decency, professionalism & basic manners. Terrible professor & person.

Honestly, I feel as if she can be nice as a person, but as a professor, she honestly sucks. She always shows up to class late and likes to make fun of her students. Shes also really bad at giving out specific information for assignments. In my opinion, I feel as if shes only doing this for the money and to look good on her resume.

By far the worst professor I have ever had. She is late to EVERY class, gives no instruction on what she wants in her papers, and then proceeds to get mad when nobody knows what they're supposed to be doing. She seems to find joy in embarrassing her students. I have never felt more uncomfortable and belittled in a classroom before in my life.

On a spring semester, the first grade was not issued until APRIL 22ND. There are no rubrics, only verbal guidelines. When a grade is issued, there is nothing but a grade, no feedback, no anything to tell you why you got a particular grade. When I went to office hours, she was asleep and had to be woken when I knocked.....

She is the worst teacher I have ever had. She was always at least 10 minutes late to class. She loved to call out and embarrass students. Super disorganized with grading and class time. She only provided a week to do the final essay (during finals week! so stressful!) I did well on the first two essay but I got a D in the class without explanation!

Professor Geller was honestly one of the worst professors I have ever had. She is extremely unapproachable and rude. She enjoys calling on and embarrassing students. I felt very uncomfortable and nervous in this class. Avoid if possible!

Never answers emails, always late to class, and doesnt give instruction on assignments. WORST teacher Ive ever had. Avoid at all costs

Terrible

Terrible would not recommend. Rude to students. Interrupted every student talking during presentations. Disorganized. Made up assignments randomly as the class course went on and constantly changed due dates.

Terrible at answering questions, makes students feel dumb when they don't understand something and embarrasses them in front of the class. The assignments given are not actually the assignments she wants you to do and often have secret meanings behind her questions that are difficult to grasp. Very rude and not understanding of students' problems.

She does not respond to e-mails. Hard to get help from her. When I came to her office, I did not get the right help. It seemed she did not want to help at all. She is a little bit disrespectful. She did not grade me honestly.

Late to class. Doesn't plan ahead so the class had to constantly ask when assignments are due. Required a group project designed for one person to do all the work to lift everyone else's grade up. All the readings are boring. Her thoughts are the only right thoughts. But she would offer to buy people coffee which was nice. Do not recommend.

This professor is rarely on topic. We are supposed to read stories that she never actually talks about. We hear more about her personal life than anything else. She is impossible to reach over email and doesn't know the dates of any assignments. The class is based on only two exams only. AVOID at all costs!!

The professor is very intelligent with the material she teachers, she definitely knows TOO much and will make sure you know that. She is not helpful in anyway when trying to understand the stories she assigns and your grade will be based on the midterm exam and the final so if you fail it is over with. Try to stay away from this professor.

Professor Geller is an individual disconnected from reality. She will not learn your name even if your class has less than 10 people. She will pick a favorite and in turn make everyone else feel like black sheep. She will derail class time going on random tangents about current/past events or ridiculous hypotheticals. She will not explain anything.

First class of the semester she was 15 mins late and just rambled about random stuff the whole time leaving us with no clear guidelines of the course. Second class, no show. No email or anything just didn't show up so everyone left. 3rd class 30 mins late. I dropped this course after that because I wasn't going to waste my time.

Avoid this class at all cost. Does not respect her students and often criticize them for not understanding. Never post assignments on bb and expect her students to understand her complicated instruction. Skipped the first two class of the semester without noticing. Often falls asleep in her own class and also do yoga while taking about her life.

Do not take her class. Talks over her students while the are answering something or asking a question. Rambles & goes on super long tangents all the time. Graded on participation, midterm essay and final. Doesn't check her email so don't even bother emailing. Often unorganized & will never remember you or your work. Annoying & frustrating class.

I have never met such a unhinged professor in my life. Not only were her lectures consistently off topic, she was so aggressive and rude towards students I could not believe it. She had a habit of making everyone uncomfortable. She singled out/embarrassed students during class for raising their hand, coughing, emailing her, not having a pen, etc.

Not helpful at all don't expect any replies to any of your emails she wont help. And you can always count on her to be late and thats about it

DO NOT take her class. She singles out students, and mocks/openly embarrasses students for coughing, not agreeing w/ her opinions, and standing up for themselves. It got so bad people were dropping the course a month before finals. Not because of the grade but her as an educator. She rambles pointlessly and doesn't care about your time.

She is a rambler. She doesn't stay on topics and will keep going if she doesn't stop herself. She'll call students out for not having a name plaque or texting. I was already iffy about her, I dropped it within a few weeks. Doesn't explain the stories in the book well. Nor does she with assignments. Would also show up late and go over class time.

Always either showed up late or not at all without even sending out an email. Very rude to her students and tried to act like she cared about our opinions but would shut us down every time we answered a question or interrupt us. She won't bother learning your name and would always just call us "Plaque-less" if we didn't have a name plaque out.

Narcissistic rude professor. All she grades is a SINGLE paper and attendance. Thats it. Like, you teach an English class, and not even a high level one. what's with the ego and rudeness? she randomly decides to come in late or not at all with no warning yet has a strict attendance policy. overcomplicates things to make herself feel smart

DO NOT take this professor. She has a strict attendance policy but then proceeds to show up 10 minutes late and sits there. She will openly mock you if you ask a question and has called students dumb or simple minded. She only grades you on a midterm and final. Has to be the worst professor at this school

Do NOT take this class. This professor is extremely rude. She thinks that she is smarter and better than her students and she will let you know that she thinks that way. She does not respond to emails, she is never on time, and she is extremely rude to students. She also rarely has shoes on in class and will have her BARE FEET out while lecturing.

This teacher has the biggest ego I have ever seen. She is incredibly disrespectful to almost every student. For the love of god don't take a class with this teacher. No amount of credits will make it worth it

This is probably the worst professor I have ever had. She's been on time to class once, for our midterm. The midterm had unrealistic expectations for the time it was supposed to be finished and most of the class stayed a good hour into the next class to complete it. Has forgotten about our group project and doesn't answer emails. Don't take her.

DO NOT, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, TAKE THIS CLASS, PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU NOT TO DO IT!!! You might think "oh English isn't that hard, I've got this in the bag" THIS PROFESSOR TAKES THAT THOUGHT AND PUMMELS IT INTO THE GROUND!! She has no idea how to teach, makes bizarre comments about specific students, and is the worst professor ever.

Bruh just grade my final already, didn't think putting in a couple numbers could take someone so long. Goofy professor and is freaky

Really liked her as a person, but is not great as a professor. She's very passionate about her work which is admirable, but she is extremely disorganized, changes things up last minute, and is prone to going on tangents when it comes to her discussions about the readings and/or the few assignments we were graded on. Attendance wasn't counted.

I have never felt so uncomfortable in a classroom. She was extremely condescending toward myself and my peers to the point I felt uncomfortable to speak. She comes off as elitist and unwilling to compromise preexisting beliefs. She often got off topic and was very unclear regarding what she actually wanted us doing or reading.

First time ever leaving a review before a class is over, but I am BLOWN AWAY. If you can get another professor PLEASE DO. She has been very unprofessional, gives poor feedback, and grades the class on three very unclear assignments. We have JUST gotten the instructions for a presentation after several students already went and had to redo.

DO NOT have her as a professor!! She made me do my presentation twice and I got a C- on it. She is incredibly unreliable with emails, and expects you to read her mind when it comes to instructions. She is the WORST professor I have ever had and made me cry multiple tims after class. If I could rate her a zero I would.

Worst class I've had with her by far. She's passionate about 18th century literature but with that comes impatience and superiority if you don't interpret the material to her liking. Incompetent when it comes to assignments and grading. She will take the simplest tasks and make them needlessly complicated and stressful. Overall? Run while you can.

Extremely inflexible with her interpretation of the texts; she WILL lower your grade if your analysis does not fit into her existing opinions. Regularly wastes 30+ mins of class time talking about things unrelated to class. Very unclear assignments. I feel I was favored in grading as opposed to classmates w work of the same quality bc she liked me.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. She claims she "can't do technology" so you have no clue what your grade is. Often times she won't even show up to office hours but won't let us know till the day after. She is rude in her emails and class. She WILL humiliate you. I asked for an idea of what my current grade is and the response I got was a "No" via email.

Please do not do this to yourself. Had me redo 2 papers bc she didnt like them. Only allowed for us to talk in present tense during presentation and lowered grade if not. Doesnt email, doesnt post grades, sometimes doesnt show up. Still talks about me to her classes and it makes me uncomfortable.

Extremely disrespectful. Did not go by syllabus, spoke about unrelated topics regularly for long stretches of time, and made offhand comments about past students as well as groups of people. No clear grading system. Never returned graded papers. Would not communicate grades beyond a single assignment even when asked. Please run while you still can.

Her instructions were unclear and she was difficult to reach outside of class. Got annoyed when we asked for clarification and would always compare us to her other section telling us how much more she liked us than them. She brought up past students by name twice and shared information about their personal lives. Made LOTS of racist comments.

Extremely inappropriate remarks in class. Other Professors know; she does not seem well respected within her department. Does not follow syllabus, rarely on time to class. Very condescending and rude. Does not provide clear directions for assignments. Does not return grades, very unclear or no feedback. Inaccessible outside of class. Run.

The professor is extremely unprofessional, If you ask any form of question you will get ridiculed and made an example for the class on what not to do. You get 4 whole assignment's so you better be on your A game when writing. But don't worry no matter what you do, if she doenst like what you wrote, it is a D+. Professor used inappropriate language

DON'T DO IT. She is the worst professor on this campus. I could go on for days. She tanked my perfect GPA. She comes late to class because she was getting coffee. She lectures with no shoes on. She forgot to order the textbooks. She makes you get 3 textbooks. She doesn't know how to put anything in bb or answer emails but has a PHD. DROP NOW PLEASE

I usually don't go off RMP ratings since sometimes I'd have really good professors with bad ratings. This is different. Don't take her. Doesn't remember names. Doesn't use email. I didn't know my grade till this morning.This was my lowest grade this semester. I was taking anatomy || this semester as well and did better!

Stay far far away from this professor if you can. She is by far THE worst professor I've ever had at Central. You are graded by 3 blue books for the entire class. Lectures ramble on and have little to do with the content. She does not respond to emails or put any grades up. Feels she is too big to even learn the names of her students.
