Highly recommended. She knows what she's doing and she's very passionate. I learned a LOT in this class.

Great professor. She knows what she's talking about and she truly cares about all of her students. I loved this class, and I would definitely recommend her to everyone.

Smart, deep, and Alluring! I love her class!

She Is The Best!!!! Oh My Gosh If You're Looking For A Good English Professor She Is It!!

Seriously the best teacher I have ever had. The first PhD I have met who is willing to accept the fact that a student might know more about a topic than him/herself. This class is FUN and challenging in ways that force you to have fun. Classtime breezes by because you are actually interested!!!!!

Great professor! She is very smart and choses interesting topics, understands that we are in college and might not be as informed about certain subjects

Awesome Professor! Great class, you won't want to miss a day! you learn a lot and cover great topics, she is clever and intelligent, and is willing to help all of her students.

She is a really good teacher. The topics were really interesting and you learn a lot. She is really nice and tries really hard to make her classes interesting and useful. Highly recommended.

Cool and fun and really, really smart. Great boots.

Good professor and interesting. LOTS of work and she grades pretty hard. Still, I learned a TON!!! This is a way good class. Everyone should have to take it. Way better than 101 and 102. I wish I'd taken this class sooner than I did.

Joan is an awesome teacher. She is so helpful and intelligent. She knows what she is talking about and lets others have there own opinions. Her teaching style tries to keep people involved which is awesome. Some of the papers we have to write, i agree are a little bit tough, but we are in college, thats the whole point of learning at school.

I think she does write her own comments too, but she made the class somewhat interesting. Just make sure you read and do a really good job on the papers.

I had her for my freshman engish and I thought I took a lot away from this class. Things can be tough, but she is always willing to help. She explains things differently so it's it's challenging at times. But overall, nice lady.

I felt like this class was beneficial. It's difficult when you are assigned one paper right aftre another, but usually she gives you enough time to be able to stay on top of things. I recommend you finish papers as they are assigned so they don't pile up...and make sure there is structure to your paper she emphazises that.

Show up and talk ur ass off!...otherwise if you dont you'll do average...but use her office time to go over papers...very HELPFUL...gives you a thesis on the paper. Last but not least...reading counts for 30% of the class grade...so READ!!!

Joan is a great teacher. I had her for my comp class and requested her for my reading and rel writing. She is weel rounded and knows a lot about her profession. She makes a big effort to connect with students. Before this i had no interest in english, but now it has became one of my favorite subjects thanks to Joan

Children's literature with her was one of my favorite courses! It was so much deeper then I expected, very interesting. She's very knowledgable and very passionate. I wish I could take another literature couse with her!

Joan is a great prof, makes it a priority to get to know her students on a personal level which is very helpful as she uses that to help with assignments. Explains things as much as needed, gives more than enough time to complete papers, and is very thorough. Gives extensive feedback which is helpful. Also is always available to students

She is a great prof. Very helpful and will do what ever she can to help you do well. Show up to class and participate. If you don't talk she will call on you, so speak up. She chose interesting readings and ensured that there would be a good discussion on the topic. She was one of the best prof.s that i have taken, i would take the class again

She can be a tough grader when it comes to papers, but the feedback is always useful. She is quite passionate about then environment and the class I was in was tailored to environmental issues. I learned a ton from her and have her next semester!

Very great teacher! The best english teacher I ever had and taught me the most about how to write well.

Great class if you're early childhood ed. Lots of little readings from book, but not too tricky. Quizzes easy if you do readings! She writes on board most info you need to know for tests which is nice. Prompt.

Helped me when ever I needed it and was always interesting. once you understand what she wants she is very easy.

She was one of my favorite teachers. Although she does assign readings for almost every class period and we had a quiz each day on the readings, I did like her very much as a professor. She was very helpful in every way and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Joan is great. I've taken two of her courses and would take more if I could. I would highly recommend taking her environmental literature course, she is very passionate. Talk with her and get to know her; she's a great professor and a great person.

Her class is hard but by far worthwhile. You may struggle with reading but she always goes over them in class and explains. Menefee has office hours at a scheduled time and is always willing to help so i would recommend taking advantage of that.

Very good teacher! I would recommend her to anyone who is signing up for ENGL 102. The readings are difficult but if you read them before class and have some understanding for the topic being discussed you are good to go. Make sure to put examples from the readings in each of your essays and get to know Joan. Shes a very nice lady!

She is VERY smart and expects a lot out of her students. There is a good chance your first assignment will be graded harsh but she just wants you to come to her office hours and talk. She is very helpful one on one and is super nice. She really likes to teach and cares about her students.

Super nice lady when you get to know her. She is a hard grader but you will learn a lot from her. I am definitely glad I took her class.

I don't hate her, but I don't recommend her to anyone. She puts herself on a pedestal with her irrelevant vocabulary, and the other day she made us make a list of why she is better than us - literally. The readings she chooses for us are difficult, but not too hard. Its a challenging class but with another professor it would be easier.

The first week or two, she shows how strict she is, regarding her syllabus. After you get to know her, you see she's a very nice person. I think people say she's a bad teacher is because she doesn't give up on anyone and she pushes you to strive for what you are capable of. Don't take this class if you don't want to be challenged to do your best.

Expects a lot from her students, but that's what college is all about, putting in the work. By far the most knowledgeable professor I've ever had. Respects her students and takes them seriously. You get out what you put in and at first the way she talks will be really intimidating, but stick with it and you will learn so much.

There is quite a lot of work in this class but it is spread out over the course of the semester. If you can get her to like you (participation is the key) she will make things much easier for you. If you stay on top of your work and not try to cram it all in at the end like an idiot you will pass this class with flying colors.

She cares a lot about each student learning but it is a hard class that you need to stay on top of your work. I would highly recommend if you want to be a better writer but would not suggest if you are just trying to pass.

She is a tough professor that genuinely wants to push you to succeed. Class participation is very important, if you miss too much class time, you will be confused. Would take her again.

Professor Menefee is a hard grader, but fair. You will have to work for your grade, but if you are decent at English and put in the work, you can get an A. She cares about her students, and gives good feedback.

Discussion based lectures that are really interesting

I liked that she was no nonsense. She tried to pick material that would be beneficial later on. She wants you to learn but makes you accountable for it as well. I really respected her.

She cares a lot about her students and doesn't shove her beliefs down people's throats like so many other professors do. Pretty tough class but overall you learn a lot. I do wish she would focus on Eastern literature as well. Overall, my favorite professor so far.

The class is big on reading and writing which is to be expected of a literature course. The teacher is available when online and flexible when needed. You learn effectively and have evenly distributed assignments so you aren't overly stressed for a duration of time. You have to be very proactive in communicating if you want good feedback.

Professor Menefee is a very caring and nice professor! She is very thorough with her instructions and gives a lot of good advice and detail while teaching. Definitely a good Comp professor!

everything is way easier if you took college prep in high school! lectures are a lot to keep up with (take notes), but as long as you stick to the criteria of each paper you should be ok. reading the book is key but keep track of info from each chapter. I suggest going to the writing center for each paper. -don't use CHATGPT, she can tell.

She helped me thing outside of the box and really expanded my literature knowledge.

She's great if she likes you.
