Taylor does NOT demand perfection; only college level performance. Original, well thought out ideas, knowledge of the mechanics of English grammar (usually learned in in 6th grade), and the use of properly cited research earns an A. It’s simple – she expects students to work for a good grade. It's college - real life, and it’s more than fair!

Professor Taylor does not have a cakewalk class, but her tests are fair and lectures are a blast. Probably the most fun I had while at Valencia. Papers are written in-class like a test. You must go to class and do reading to know the material, but there's nothing tricky. Makes the material so interesting. I would take her again in a heartbeat.

She has a Ph.D in Mythology, so there is no BS'ing her papers. You have a paper to write AND a presentation. Tests were hard, but nothing tricky on there. Responds to e-mails fast. Office hours before class are helpful. Final exam was matching. Had 6 quizes. Attendance is mandatory. If you are out 2 or less times, you get 5 extra points.
