Super helpful, cares about her students, knows her stuff.

Professor Halliday is a very hard grader. She expects a lot out of each essay. Although, why not get graded hard in a 100 level class so the rest will come a bit easier? I enjoy this class. She is very helpful if you seek her assistance. at first does not seem approachable, but give her time!

Best teacher I've had here so far. She's a tough grader but gets easier as the semester goes on. Guys, she's easy on the eyes and single.

She takes a genuine interest in your success and likes to see her students excell. If you need help she has no problem meeting with you outside of class. Write Honestly though! she doesn't give re-writes and says that she doesn't give out A's but she actually does.

Professor Halliday is wonderful- I thoroughly enjoyed this class and look forward to it whole-heartedly. Lots of class discussions, free-flowing, interesting assignments, & no busy work. She shows films that make you think and want to participate in class; essays are enjoyable, definitely. Highly, highly encourage you to take this class!

I took english comp from her waaay back, and just wanted to let you guys know, it was awesome! Not the easiest class ever, but she made the class into a place where you really had a chance to grow as a writer, and got to know the other kids. I loved it!

I loved this professor. She is really passionate about her job and wants you to learn. She is responsive to students' requests/suggestions to what is relevant. She doesn't allow a lot of messing around but is still a great professor

Seems strict, but is actually really nice and easygoing once you get to know her. She is really interested in what students have to say. It is a good idea to run a thesis or draft by her before turning it in, if possible. Make sure you get to class on time and participate a lot in class!

She believes she is responsible for the competence of all the writers in the world. Takes ENGL 101 and treats it like a higher level english course. The class is straightforward, but requires lots of HW and quizzes. Essays are a huge % of grade, so messing up on one will screw you over.

Professor Halliday is one the best teachers I have had at Gonzaga. She is a genuine human being who made me a better writer and human being as well. She is a strong woman and doesn't put up with crap. I had to work very hard in her class-nothing is for free. Give her your respect, let her teach you. Its worth it.

Seems super hard and mean at the beginning, but ends up being so nice and helpful. Really cares about what she teaches and that you are learning what she is saying. If you want a class to slack off in, don't take her. But if you want to learn, take Halliday. She's a homie :]

Professor Halliday is an excellent teacher. She selects topics that are interesting and relevant for her students. She's not easy, yet you can get a good grade through hard work. She is very effective at engaging her students through use of interesting readings, films, and in-class discussions. If you want to become a better writer take Haliday.

Professor Halliday is an amazing teacher and my favorite so far! She seems really strict at the beginning but she creates a really open class environment and as long as you participate in discussions and ask for help on papers, it is easy to get a good grade. I definitely recommend this class!!

I loved Professor Halliday! I really was not looking forward to taking a comp class but she chose extremely interesting topics that challenged and intrigued her students. She is always helpful and encouraging. I would recommend her to anyone!

As a science major, classes like English Comp are annoying and seemingly a waste of time. Not with Professor Halliday though! An overall genuine, nice, funny person who cares about you as a person. Gonzaga has been built on a reputation of caring and helpful professors and Halliday is the epitome of this. Ended up being one of my favorite classes!

Professor Halliday has been my favorite professor at Gonzaga so far! She is so nice and helpful and challenges her students to think outside the box. Essays are actually very interesting to write because she selects topics that are relevant for her students. Take Professor Halliday and improve tremendously in your writing.

Prof. Halliday is really cool. Her class is really interesting, we did a lot of talking about real life events and situations. However her class was pretty hard. She grades really tough on grammar and MLA format. But I would still suggest taking her class. She genuinely cared about and was interested in her students

Such a wonderful professor! Will make you a better writer and picks interesting topics for her students to write about. Facilitates excellent discussions and shows captivating films. Not a hard grader, if you follow her writing tips in class

I can't much more than this class is tight. Professor grades pretty hard, but always to improve your writing and is always willing to help you get better. Overall I would recommend this professor because she teaches with the vision that her students are capable of doing great things. As an incoming freshman, you want this professor.

She tries to scare you at the start of the class but gets more chill over time. ALWAYS willing to help and review papers if you ask. Will improve your writing.Starts grading hard from the first short assignment. Not an easy class but she still sees me and remembers my writing two years later.

Professor Halliday was an amazing teacher and actually got me to care about what we were writing. She chooses relevant topics and makes class discussions interesting. Even though she was only my ENGL 101 professor, she always sticks out in my mind and continues to be one of my favorite professors

Class seems easy at first but she is a hard grader!! Really focuses on strong and narrow thesis statements. If you don't like english very much i don't recommend her, but if you like a challenge then she is a good prof to take. Must show up to class! Overall fun class, but hard.

She is by far my favorite professor at Gonzaga1 I would definitely recommend her! You learn a lot in her class and she expects a lot but it is well worth it. She is always willing to help you as well.

Professor Halliday is awesome. Her class was both engaging and challenging. She taught me to be a better writer and to be a better citizen. She shows great documentaries about issues in our society and encourages you to write about things you actually care about. Would love to take another one of her classes

Great professor, truly loves what she is doing and makes the class very enjoyable. At first I thought I was going to hate the class, but ended up loving it! She is a pretty tough grader, take the time to go to her office hours

I was put in Halliday's 105 class before ever taking 101, and I really enjoyed it! Readings were fun and easy. participation is mandatory, otherwise don't expect higher than a C. She's a tough grader, but is willing to offer sugesstions for improvement. I am now registered for her 101 class!

Prof. Halliday is a wonderful professor who cares about all her students. She selects interesting writing prompts that deal with current issues in our society. She leads great class discussions that are always engaging. Grades fairly and an "A" is definitely manageable if you put in the effort.

Professor Halliday is the best english teacher I've ever had. I was placed into her 101 class and chose to take her 105. She is hilarious, gets the class talking, and helps break the awkwardness among classmates by assigning group projectss. She expects a lot on papers, but is very helpful and available. Awesome lady!

I love English and this was one of the greatest courses I've ever had. Professor Halliday should be a requirement for all students at Gonzaga. She understands her students and is the most accommodating person I've met. She made a class that has the potential to be incredibly boring into one of the best English classes ever.

Prof Halliday is the BEST professor I have had at Gonzaga so far. She cares about each student and your writing will improve leaps and bounds! She does a brilliant job of connecting the class to current world issues and the writing prompts are always interesting. In-Class discussions and films were always engaging. Awesome professor!!!

She may seem scary and kind of a hard ass at first but Prof. Halliday is super nice, approachable, and always willing to help. Its a pretty hard class with a lot of work (5 essays) but the topics are interesting and the class really helps you better your writing.

Halliday comes off very intimidating but once you get to know her she is a great teacher and always willing to help. The topics are very interesting and relevant! Not an easy A, but coming from a science major, this was one of my favorite classes thus far.

She is scary at first but is a great teacher! dont let the first essay grade scare you, she eases up. its work, but enjoyable

The material is very interesting and opens your eyes to a lot of new things. However, when she reads your essays, she constantly is changing to wording to how she'd write it, and my best grades were on thesis statements she wrote for me. Overall, I enjoyed the class, use her office hours!

Halliday is an amazing teacher and is an easy grader if you give your essays some thought. Overall grade is 5 essays and one group discussion. Go to writing center and she will give you extra credit on every essay. I highly recommend this incredible lady who has been an inspiration to me.

halliday is an awesome lady, i love her! very little homework other than 5 essays, one group project, and no final. i learned so much about writing and world issues. if you put effort in, A's on her essays are entirely possible-just use A LOT of transition words. i would definitely take her again, highly recommended!

She is tough and doesn't take excuses, but she is a really cool lady. She's funny and doesn't make her 105 students write papers. If you are in her Love and Fear class you read poems and short stories and discuss them in class. Thats it, LOVE IT!

Halliday is a great teacher. She expects a lot out of her students but it's not an impossible class. 4 essays total all semester, two written and two multimodal, which one of them is the final. She is helpful but only if you ask for it! Kinda a tough grader but her peer edit workshops and the writing center help a lot!

Halliday's class is the most helpful class I've taken so far in my education! I felt like she taught me to write so much better and since taking her class, I've used what I learned in every single essay I've written so far. (I took the class last year) I highly recommend her, you will learn a lot!

Halliday is a wonderful teacher. She is very sweet and is willing help you. The topics of the essays are interesting and there isn't really much homework required. Show up on time and she will love you. However instructions are unclear at first, so make sure you know what she is asking of you before you turn it in. I would definitely recommend her.

Halliday was one of my favorite professor. She made me a much better writer however, she is not an easy grader. All her essays are interesting and two are hands on (audio, presentation essay). At first you may be confused but ask her for help and she will help you immensely. Make sure you get on her good side.

Halliday is one of my top 3 favorite teachers EVER. She is awesome. Difficult grader but improves your writing. Interesting and fun class structure

When I first met Pro. Halliday I was sure she was going to be one of those super mean, straight edged teachers, but she really isn't. I love her class! The essays that she makes us write are interesting and they take a different approach to essays, however, the prompts are sometimes unclear so make sure to ask questions! She makes you work for an A

Professor Halliday is a great professor! She is super helpful and has modified the boring english class into one that applies to a college students life. There are many essays to write, and they are graded harshly. I would definitely take her again.

Halliday is AMAZING! I took her two semesters in a row, for both Love & Fear and English Composition. She does expect her students to put in their best effort and is very passionate about what she teaches. Be prepared to work hard and do some thinking, and you will do well.

Awesome professor. I was in the "multi-modal" English 101. Did 1 written essay, 1 audio essay, 1 photo essay, and 1 group video essay for the final. Great person and teacher. Really into what she teaches.

You have a few projects that build on top of each other, and they all pretty much require you to choose your own topic, which is good because you can be passionate about it, but bad because it is hard to narrow it down to a good topic. I think she is a good teacher, but she can be vague at times, and sometimes is a tough grader. Would take again.

Professor Halliday was one of my favorites. She is a phenomenal person and educator. There are 5 separate essays: 1) standard essay 2) audio essay 3) photo essay 4) video essay 5) reflection essay. Most of the points for the course come from these essays. Just work hard on them and you will get a solid "A".

Halliday gives a new spin on English and doesn't just give written essays like most other professors. She turns English into a modern way of communicating through pictures, videos, and podcast. Not to hard of a class and majority of a grade comes through projects. Projects require effort but are not unreasonable. Allows a lot of freedom of topic.

I love Professor Halliday! She always makes me laugh. There are 4 essays and a reflection essay at the end of the semester. Each unit (4) is worth 100 points and there are some (online but timed) reading quizzes and small assignments. However, she stresses "be unique" when choosing a topic which is sometimes hard. She also hates emailing :(

If being creative is tough for you, this may not be the class for you. Although titled English 101 Writing, you won't actually be writing essays. You will be doing things like visual and audio essays. She brings a fun new spin to english. She gives great feedback and really cares about the success of her students

Professor Halliday is super nice and caring. I took her for my freshman seminar- time of your life. It was discussion based which kept things interesting. Lots of ted talks. Weekly papers that are 300-500 words so pretty short and they are more like online reflections. Class is an easy A if you show up and participate and turn things in on time.

Really awesome and funny lady. I took her first-year seminar class and she was really focused and interested in every students' individual progress as well as their development outside of class. She was very nice to me whenever I saw her, and even asked to read more of my writing just because she was interested in it. I would definitely recommend.

Professor Halliday is awesome! I had her for first year seminar and it definitely was an easy A. Participation is worth 45% of your grade so as long as you show up and do the writing assignments that are all less than 300 words, you will be fine.

It was a fun class. Only downside is that she was on the 4th floor of college hall and i had her at 9:25 in the morning.

Halliday is great. She is all over the board when it comes to class. Very welcoming to new ideas or late assignments if you explain yourself. I had her for FYS and would take her again. Lots of group projects.

This was a different class than your typical English class but I loved it. We had 4 essays (1 written, two video, one podcast) It made it so much more fun to do the video & podcasts and watch everyone else's. She's so nice and funny and I loved her as a professor. There's also always options to work in a group which is great!

The class consists of three essays: one written essay, one video essay (group project), and one audio essay (group project). She is a fair grader and as long as you do your work and put in an effort you can pass the class.

Professor Halliday cares deeply about her students and provides relevant, insightful lectures. The main assignments a video, audio, and written essay. One day there was a basketball game starting during a class so she let everyone out an hour early.

I had Professor Halliday during my Freshman year and she was one of my favorite professors. Engaging class discussions and essay prompts. Her grading is very fair and your writing will improve immensely over the semester. Highly recommended.

Professor Halliday is a kind person but does not accept late work and is a very hard grader. However, her rubrics are clear and you will do well if you follow them word for word. lot's of projects, but she always gives plenty of time to do them if you stay on top of it. By the middle of the semester we rarely met for class.

Professor Halliday is on balance an excellent professor. She expects a lot from all of her students, but as long as you try your best you should be fine. However, her system for giving feedback is really wonky, so seek out help from writing tutors if you want to improve.

Easy A course to fulfill FYS, WE, and SJ core requirements, but the class can get very boring. Weekly writes due at the end of each week (1 to 1.5 pages long reflections) and two group presentations, which can be a pain if you get stuck with group members who dont contribute.

Halliday is an AMAZING professor and person. She takes time to know her students names and cares about them and their success. She creates a comfortable environment and fantastic social justice content. I left this class feeling culturally competent and truly believe that what we learned really matters. She is everything I would want in aGu teacher

Professor Hallidays first year seminar class was very inspirational. You do have weekly writings but they are only one page and nothing too difficult. There are also some presentations sprinkled through the semester. Overall, a great choice for a professor as she really cares about her students.

Loved this class, it was so easy but Halliday did a lot of work to make it applicable to college-and real world life. Group project heavy so hope you get a decent group. Halliday cares a lot but you have to show up. Cancels class- huge plus.

Take this class for FYS if you need a class that is fairly easy and have a difficult major. Professor Halliday is very kind and definitely shows it in class. The class consisted of weekly reflection papers, a couple of group presentations, and usually watching TED talks/ reading articles for homework.
