Strict but thorough.

She is a really good, appropriate english teacher. I went in dreading African American Literature, and came out loving the class because of her.

One of the best teachers I have ever had...always willing to help...overall African American Lit was one of my best courses

Mrs. Goeffe-Mcnish is a wonderful woman and a wonderful teacher, those of you who say her class is too difficult just don't want to learn. She challenged me, helped me improve my writing through one on one meetings, and even helped me get a scholarship!

Very hard teacher. If you want an easy English Class do not take her, but if you want to learn I would highly recommend her. I learned a lot from her class, and can say I am a much better writer, and understand literature more because of it.

Wonderful person. If you do you're reading and listen well, you'll do well. If you KNOW you're a slacker and are looking to get over, don't take her class. Only amazing students need apply to this amazing teacher. Truly, one of a kind. Wish I could take her again.

what a wonderful teacher. I took her for overseas Jamaica class. You must go if you have a spare 1000 dollars to go to Jamaica. its wonderful. Less work to do if you take her for Overseas Carribean Lit. Only one paper to write at the end. All you have to do is experience the island.

One of the hardest teachers I ever had. I did more work for this 1 class than for the 3 other classes I took put together. However,I learned more than I could have believed possible.I only wish I had taken her for Eng101-it would have made all my other Eng classes so much easier. (She loves purple!)

Very demanding teacher, but to me, that's a good quality. Great sense of humor, very kind, intellegent and helpful. Willing to work with students on due dates.

she's the best english theacher ever! she threatens to sit on u..it's awsome

She expected A LOT from her students, even teachers who had just started at the school.

Very helpful teacher. She's tough,but she will definately help you if you need it. Very nice lady too. She does expect a lot out of you tho.

She is very funny,helpful and pleasant. She demands too mcuh in a short time. Her class helped me a lot and I enjoyed all of it, even if it was hard.

I thought she was hilarious, once you got to understand her sense of humor. The class was difficult but not terrible. Overall she did a good job teaching.

She is a good prof. I thought she was helpful,if you asked for it. If you listen to her instructions, you should have no problem passing her class.

SHe is really hard, and demanding. But she is really nice and funny. She is really willing to help you out, but only if you are willing to take the time. She is a hard grader and expects things done. Gives ALOT of pop quizes. Take the class if you are looking to learn something and have fun doing it! I would take another class of hers again!

Mrs. Goffe-McNish is a awesome teacher. I hated English until I took her class. She is funny and actually cares about her students. She does give alot of pop quizzes(which by the way are always open book) If you pay attention in class and you ask questions when you don't understand you will do well. Mrs. McNish you rock!

She is by far the most difficult English professor at DCC. She taught me how to write a proper essay! Take her class.. you'll work your ass off, but it's completely worth it.

She is very hard but very nice.

This teacher is a lot of fun. She's always telling crazy stories that somehow end up relating to what we're talking about...well, usually. She's VERY straight forward and honest, which some people may see as rude, but I think It's great. She has her own style of writing essays, yes, but It helps to keeo your papers structured. I like her a lot.

She was a great teacher. During the start of the semester I wonderd how I would get through her class with all of the work load. But, I made it through and she actually turned out to be a great teacher. I learned things that I did not know and she was really funny.

She's the best english theacher ever! :)

She was a wonderful teacher! I highly recommend her to someone who is very interested in english, not just for a grade! She was the first teacher that made me love english! She did give out a lot of work if you're in for the challenge. After you finish her class you really feel accomplished and good about yourself!

Mrs. McNish English class was very interesting. If you work hard, not like the last student, you would succeed in the course. College is not an easy ride like high school.

Excellent teacher. Very Hilarious. You'll learn a lot academically and professionally.

In the beginning I was a little nervous but I learned so much from her! She is a fantastic teacher and was always making the class and I laugh while keeping it on topic. If your willing to do the work and not be lazy take her class.

Hilarious!

Great teacher, easy to work with her as long as you do the work. I recommend taking her english classes

I had her for both english 101 and 102. It's alot of work and stressful but I actually learned the proper way to write because of her. you will have a bad first impression but she has a big heart and shes a good teacher. I would recommend her to a friend

This is a very very good teacher. She teaches all the tools you needs to pass the class you are taking and overall throughout your career time. She is firm and committed to her students and if you fail her class it's becomes you did not put in the work. She makes her classes fun. When you leave her class all your projects for future class will be A

Very strict and tough grader, but I learned a lot. She's also pretty damn funny and I actually had a lot of fun in that class. She was also very understanding and gave me an extension on an essay after a friend of mine died.

Despite what other students have said, Mrs. McNish is an excellent teacher. To say more specifically, she's a "no-nonsense" professor. Don't get on her bad side otherwise she will sit on you. Haha! If you are really dedicated to working hard to improve your writing, then this class is for you. If not, don't waste your time in her class. Trust me.

She is a very great teacher! The work isn't easy, but you're guaranteed to learn more each day. You'll enjoy it, she's funny, and has a kind heart to help you with whatever you need. GO TO CLASS!

Mrs. McNish is AWESOME! If you attend every class, take very detailed notes, pay attention, and put forth an honest effort, there is no reason you will not pass this class with an A. She is very funny, enthusiastic, involved, helpful, and caring. I believe she truly wants every student to succeed. I highly recommend taking her class.

McNish is an amazing teacher for students who are not lazy. She is tough but meets students where they meet her. Until i took her class, I did not know how to write a proper English paper. From my experience at DCC students who complained about her are students who are not dedicated to their studies, or just plain lazy and do not want to do work!

If you show up, do the work, and do work the way she tells you to, you'll pass. Be open minded; her methods may be annoying but will make you a better writer.

Amazing teacher. DO YOUR WORK

The best professor ever!!!

Professor Goffe McNish is an absolute pleasure. She is cunning, intelligent and never uses written material its all out of her head. Her teachings have certainly made me a better student.

I absolutely love her, she is a tough cookie but she teaches you how to write excellently

She is a fantastic professor, BUT she can be very very intimidating at times. She expects you to revolve your entire life around her class and homework and does not accept excuses. She will call you out and make you feel terrible, but it is all for a good cause. She is a terrific teacher and you will succeed as long as you do the work.

She really loves people. Very organized and good explanations. Best there is.

Gives a lot of papers but honestly taught me how to write. If you didn't take her for 101 I would highly recommend not taking her for 102. If you skip class you won't pass. Kept the class laughing.

Goffe-McNish expects the best from you. If you do the work assigned, you will pass. Shes always available for help. Expect a lot of reading, writing and quizzes.

I took her in Spring '18. She is really nice, will make fun of people. But you have to work for your grade. You read 2 books, 1 play and several poems. At the end of each unit you write an essay. Quizzes are open note, so show up to class and take notes. If you take notes, you will be fine. Go to her office, she will help you write your essay.

I took her class in the summer. She is a great professor. It is true, she does make her class write many essays but it is all with the purpose of improving your writing skills, and let me tell you.. Your writing skills WILL improve. Besides, she guides you through every paper. Her eng101 class is very well worth it. You won't waste your time.

Professor McNish was really nice. A little crazy. But really sweet. I enjoyed her class and teaching style. I learned a lot in her class. She gives a lot of work but it's worth it. Thanks to her, I can write an essay for any class and get an A.

gives a syllabus on the first day and expects you to abide by it. DOES give a lot of essays but tells you exactly what shes looking for in every essay. she does give quizzes and you cant make it up if you miss that day. gave some extra credit. overall really nice and helpful and if you need help go to her office hours. would take again asap

Professor Mcnish's class was difficult, but also extremely helpful. Taking her class is what a real college course feels like, and she sets your writing skills up for success. There were multiple books to read and essays however, she gives a clear structure that the essay must be in. Although her course was challenging, it was definitely worth it.
