Worst. Teacher. Ever. Just when you think you've got her style of writing down, she changes it because "nobody will ever get an A in my class because there's always room for improvement" If you want to work hard and still feel like a failure, take her class. Very rude too. Made one kid cry.

Worst experience in a class ever !!!. she makes you feel dumb and belittled when you ask questions or for help . The work itself should not be as demanding as she makes. I do not recommend this class. the classwork is super boring your doing group exercises every week. She takes 10 years doing everything. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CLASS AT ALL

I took this class hoping that hard work and dedication would help me pass this class. WRONG. She is rudely sarcastic, takes years to explain something, and is overly picky. Don't take the class unless you want to be super disappointed in yourself.

Don't recommend her! She expects you to learn from your mistakes. She doesn't help. She has like 9 papers and they're so long. NOT helpful at all!!!!!

She's always looking for a reason to fail you. You miss class twice or are late twice she drops you. You don't do the reading twice she drops you. You could have an A in that class and if you don't do well on the research paper she'll fail you

Not consistent with assignments class work. works straight out of the book. boring class. horrible feedback. one little mistake in your essays will give you a 1 out of 5. she doesnt explain how you can make your paper better. she majored in law so she'll leave a note on your paper saying your paper was irrelevant and never explains why.

DO NOT TAKE HER. She doesnt provide helpful feedback on the number of papers you do. It seems like she mostly focuses on the grammar and punctuation in your papers and doesnt praise the successes in your work. Her teaching style consisted of assigning punctuation and grammar handouts practically every day of class. Everyone dropped or took a D or F

She's the best professor I had. Easy tests, requirements aren't that difficult and she grades papers fairly.

Before taking Eng 100 at Cypress I never got any grade below a B- on a paper. They say there's a first for everything, right? Mrs. Daniels gave me a two C's and a D on papers I worked hard on but didn't give me any constructive criticism past "unclear" and a couple of nasty comments. It's either her way or the high way. Don't take her class.

Her class was a challange. I did not pass! I tried very hard on my essays. She is very critical about grading essays. She questions EVERYTHING. I was expecting to pass this class but unfortunately I wasn't able to.

Her class got emptied real quick. 25 students to 8 students. GG. I stayed there, fortunately. I managed to pass her class with the help of tutors on essay writing.

Very tough cookie. Don't go in looking for an easy A. You will work for that A as she states the very first day! Hey!! It's college! What do you expect? If you don't write well you be forced to sit through tutor sessions and you will not be able to rewrite or edit you essay for a higher grade. She is indeed a good professor, but difficult.

She talks more about her being a lawyer and her life more than the class, then when u have a question she shuts you down humiliates you for asking . She has been teaching for way to long and im pretty sure shes trying to make the class impossible for 70% of her student. DONT DO IT !!

Wouldn't take again

She is rude, disrespectful and doesn't help you at all. She gave us an essay about the difficulties of being an illegal immigrant student and she invalidated my whole essay by stating that her grandson wasn't born in the US and he was able to get a job in his field of study. marks every little mistake and doesn't tell you how to improve. Stay away!

Would take again

Its been 3 years since I finished her ENG 60. She gave me Ds on my first several essays and forced me to visit tutors at college library. Tutors literally taught me years of English writing knowledge in one semester. I used the knowledge on my next few essays, and I got As and Bs. Soon, I conquered ENG 100 and 103 with As due to my knowledge.
