All in all, Professor Dellner's class was fair. She is almost always on time for class and ends on time. She was always upbeat and kept the class attentive and interested. The assignments consisted of 10 short (1-page) response papers, 4 essays (about 1200 words/3.5 pages each). She lets you rewrite the essays so you can do better. I recommend her.

Dr. Dellner is truly one of the most inspiring professors I've ever had. She cares so much about every one of her students and is always willing to put in the time and effort to make certain that every student is doing well. We had an assignment (which was answering questions about a story) and discussion each week. She is such a great professor!

Home girl showed up late everyday and left us standing by the hour a half hour every morning before class. Her teaching was awful as was her grading. She graded my essay three days after the semester was over. Do yourself a favor and do not take her

Wouldn't take again

Professor was always on time and ready to go for my class, Knows the curriculum well and loves English. We did go off topic a lot. Took a month and a half to get my first essay written back to me and graded, and by that time another was past due. Feedback can be rude and backhanded. I never enjoyed writing and the comments made me feel stupid.

Professor Dellner was so mean when she gave feedback on papers. She also graded things last minute and was disorganized all the time. She keeps you until the last minute of class and goes off topic a lot.

Unorganized, takes forever to give papers back, comments are rude, and she is a plain nutcase. Can't follow her lectures or logic half the time. Avoid. She doesn't know how to teach writing.

I think she's a good person... but she is a bit abrasive and rude. the 2 big flaws is she TAKES FOREVER to grade anything .. took her about 6 weeks to grade our quiz so its just annoying. I dont think she's a bad person the class is just so boring and she doesn't know how to teach. if your into world lit then take her if your not take someone else

Class can be interesting if you are willing to participate. She is nice but takes a long time to grade work. Had three papers with one presentation in front of the class. Not the hardest class I have ever had to take, but she does not do much to make it more fun for the students.

You will be there for every minute of class, even if she finds a natural end to the class she will find something to talk about until the last minute of class. She takes forever to grade. Took nearly two months to grade an essay, most grades were put in the last week of classes. Very lecture based and you have to take good notes

She didn't assign extensive reading or any heavy coursework at all. Things were going well for me until about mid semester. A lot of my classmates fell off and she had also fallen a month behind the syllabus. We didn't do some assignments she had planned on doing and I feel like I did stuff but also nothing at the same time. It was fine ig.

dr. dellner was an okay professor. i will say that you can tell how passionate she is about english seeing as every class she goes off on tangents about literature throughout the world. the only complaint i have is that she does take forever to grade, update the grade book, and hand back assignments

Please save yourself the trouble of dealing with this woman. She has no idea how to teach and gave us 4-1500 word essays and a project due two weeks before the semester ends, as if you don't have other classes! She is an atrocious teacher, her assignments make no sense and are worded like the Da Vinci code, and you are given a week to finish them.

Just don't do it. If you can take someone else you should, she has such a monotone way of presenting material and will sit there and ask the class questions and stare at you until someone answers. We didn't even do our first assignment until 2 months into the semester making it very hard to gauge your progress in the course. Wouldn't take her again

Would take again

She does keep you until the end of class and takes awhile to grade, but she is a good professor. In my experience, her feedback on my essays were helpful. She was very nice and you could tell she cared about teaching. I don't think the essays were hard either.

This professor was always rude to me when I asked for help. She said I should know things already and just sent me away. Took forever to grade so you never knew where you stood in the class. Lectures were very scattered and didn't make sense often.

Took her in the spring, just as annoying as any english professor. Barely any assignments, just reading at home and discussions... about 4 essays. No tests or quizzes, snooze fest will stare at the class until someone answers her questions

Assignments weren't graded until just now at the end of the semester, which meant 0 feedback when it actually mattered. I never knew what was wrong with my writing or how to improve. What's the point then? Doing assignments all semester without feedback and then getting hit with final grades feels like a waste and unfair

Pros and cons of taking Dr. Dellner's class Pros •easy work and gives decent feed back(WHEN ASKED) •participation isn't required but it helps to understand what's going on in class Cons: •late grading(talkin like weeks after the end of semester) •if she don't like you, you'll know •A lot of homework, an excessive amount honestly.

Genuinely the worst professor I've ever had. Doesn't grade until the last week of the semester so you have no time to improve where you're lacking. Class is strictly analyzing the book
