Mrs. Lail was a great professor. I took her class the 2nd half of the spring semester(accelerated course),and It was a great learning experience. The textbook was needed for about 20% of the class since most of the literary works could be found online for free.

Mrs. Laid is an attractive woman, but don't let that make you think she's good at teaching. It's almost like you have to read her mind to know what's going on. She does not follow a syllabus, and doesn't assign much homework, but she will give you many projects and books to read. I would not suggest taking this class unless you like stress.

Jamie Lail is an overall nice professor. However, her grading criteria is kind of vague. She'll take off 5 points without clearly explaining what you did incorrectly. Besides that, the class was not hard. You just have to read a lot and write many papers (which is expected in an English class).

I loved this class. It isn't easy, and there is a lot of reading, but Professor Lail gives great feedback. I took the accelerated summer course online. At times it was a lot and felt overwhelming, but I also felt like she was setting me up to succeed. If you care about learning to write better or analyze literature better, then take this class!

Oh my goodness!!! I took this course last year as a dual credit and Mrs. Lail was probably the best English Composition and Brit Lit professor ever! I love her perspectives on the readings we did. Honestly, I slacked off and didn't read the text (I used a LOT of summaries) but I still enjoyed the class! Easy quizzes, ten page essay, and group work.

Jamie Lail is an awesome professor and her class ENGL-1302 was the highlight of my spring semester. Not much work is needed to achieve an A and you'll learn a lot of fun material throughout the course. NO timed/proctored assignments, 1-3 weekly lessons, and engaging short stories/poems!

I loved this class and the professor! You can literally get an A by doing the bare minimum of completing the clear criteria she sets. She does take time to respond, but I took this class during the winter holidays so that's expected. She did not count off for any late work, and when I reached out for help she was helpful and reassuring!

NOT recommended! It's a TON of reading, on top of a TON of assignments. It's so overwhelming. A discussion post is due every week ALONG with another assignment every week. On top of the essays that will be due as well. Due dates are mixed up on canvas. (We even have assignments during spring break) I really just want to give up.

Tough grader

I took Professor Lail's Wintermester 4-week course. English composition is going to be a ton of reading and writing, there's no way around that no matter the professor. She is consistent in her assignments and uses openstax for the literature read. The material isn't hard just stay organized.

Professor Lail was Incredible! I took this class online and it consisted of 1-2 assignments per week. Majority of the assignments were discussion post analyzing a certain story you read. The other assignments were a follow up to the discussion. Gives 3 essay that were really easy but are time consuming. Very caring and responds to emails quickly.

Professor Lail is a 10/10 professor. Took her for a summer semester and found her class to be really enjoyable. You have 3 papers to write but they're only around 1200ish words and you choose what stories to write about. You have discussion posts and little side quest assignments but it's all manageable for a 1 month class. She's really nice too!

5wk Summer: 3 Essays, 8 Discussion Boards, 10 Assignments, 1 Final. Pros: DBs are easy 100s. Clear due dates. Grading's generous; hit minimum word count & answer prompt. Modules well organized. Expectations clear. Cons: Communication poor. Instructor ignored multiple emails. Announcements mostly pre-written so feels inauthentic. Grading's slow.

Professor Lail is an excellent professor. 3 major essays, some discussion boards, some easy short response/thesis development assignments strewn throughout the course. She is an excellent grader and gives good feedback, and the essays are not too difficult, although they require some research and critical thinking.

Lovely professor with intro videos and links to readings. Textbook wasn't a necessity, and had many background knowledge for authors of each era that was easy to follow. Responds to emails quickly and is extremely helpful. Made Brit lit fun.

I took her 8-week online course. It is a lot of work that is quickly paced. However, if you read the stories, you'll be fine. The typed discussion boards are a big part of the course. There are 3 exams which are proctored, but reviews are given. There's a 5-7 page essay, but that's the only "essay" in the 8 week course. Professor Lail is AMAZING!:)

Professor Lail was AMAZING! I took her 1302 16-week course, and she was so caring, gave great feedback, and was a lovely grader if you followed instructions/the rubric. She had no quizzes; only weekly readings, discussion boards, lectures, and three essays in total. She replied quickly to my emails and gave explicit confirmation when needed.
