Not a good professor to take if your not very good at writing. She is strict when it comes to grading a paper and it will be a miracle if you get an A no matter how good of a paper you might feel that you wrote. She makes you do a lot of reading from the book and makes you take quizzes after. She is very demanding and barely teaches. Not good.

One of my favorite professors at FSW. She's caring, respectable, and takes her job seriously. Three essays per semester but she provides LOTS of feedback to help you improve. There are also a bunch of little assignments to help boost your grade. If you put the effort in you will excel in this class. You can even use notes on pop quizzes!

She tends to be very nit picky, will have you resubmit an assignment until it is what she wants. Lectures tend to be boring and dragged out. She does not let class out early every besides a test day.

Professor Hummel was a very harsh grader. She stated in the beginning of the semester that it is very hard to get an A in her class and that most people wont. She assigns a lot of assignments and is a very strict teacher. I would not recommend taking her class unless you are looking for a challenge.

If you want to actually learn something or if you plan on transferring to a university, you should take Professor Hummel. Her lectures are amazing, I've never been bored in her class. She's funny and nice, but she will make you work for a good grade. If I had to take another comp class I would definitely take her again!

Worst professor ever. She has no intention of helping you at all. She wants you to fail no matter how hard you try. Honestly people like her should not be allowed to teach. If you think about taking her class, do yourself a favor and DONT. Amid this pandemic she made no effort to alleviate things for her students but instead made it miserable.

Great professor! Professor Hummel cares about her students, so she wont just hand out an easy A. She will engage you, listen to you, encourage you, and help you to become successful in higher level courses. She always keeps it real and even went out of her way to be supportive after we switched to online/Zoom classes due to the pandemic.

Dr. Hummel is passionate about literature and it shows by how this course is taught. Expect multiple readings per week, discussions and major essays throughout the semester. If you have difficulty discerning emotions, be aware that she's sarcastic and still wants you to succeed. She's absolutely brilliant- if I stayed, I would have taken her again.

Don't take this professor if you value your grade. Tough grader, and immature for an older woman. She acts like a child throughout class and acts the same when grading. You can do an assignment 5 times trying to do what she's asking and still get a 0, I filed a grievance and the Dean did nothing so I'm going to fail the semester.
