Do not take her if you hate English and writing. I made a big mistake taking her. We had to do Volunteer work, each paper was 5 to 6 pages, 6 sources per paper, stupid paper topics(not chance to express yourself), boring class, last paper we had to do 6 pgs, 6 sources, 5 two page journal entries and a presentation.

Ms. Sisk's class was pretty easy but she wasn't very clear on assignments and was sort of last-minute with grading. At the end of the semester, we didn't really have any idea what our final grades were b/c she hadn't graded any of our papers. The community service wasn't that bad either, I actually enjoyed it. Overall, good teacher.

Good Professor. 2 main research papers(each 25% of grade). Other factors are studentship, homework (never had much), quizzes (if you have a good class she doesn't give any) & attendance. Best part is the extra credit for attendance. Perfect attendance = 3pts added on to final grade/1 day missed = 2pts/2 days missed = 1pt Always willing to answer Qs

Ms. Sisk was one of the best professors i've ever had at ECU. She cares a lot about the content she teaches and cares even more about how well her students do. She's extremely flexible with the schedule and wants you to do well. I can tell I will stay connected with her even after taking her class.

She is a nice professor that is always willing to work with you if needed. If as a class you need a deadline extension, she will change it. However, she CAN NOT give directions for her life. There is no outline for papers and it's like the whole class is playing a guessing game. She makes the schedule as she goes so there is no strict schedule.

Prof. Sisk was all over the place throughout the semester. You're required to do 10 community service hours but she doesn't check them. The assignments are very broad and there isn't any rubrics to double check your writing. She just throws out grades. Basically if you're nice to her you will pass easily.

You must get 10 service hours, so if you don't have a car, I suggest find a different class. She told us we could get a bus to volunteer locations, but we can't. She did offer to drive, but if you don't have a car, it's hard to get the hours and they are a good portion of your grade. She's great in office hours and a really nice prof overall though

This class wasn't hard whatsoever. However, I wouldn't necessarily say it's an easy A because she grades pretty heavy. There's a few papers throughout the entire semester, but she takes a long time to grade and she's not specific when it comes to feedback on those papers.
