Probably the worse professor I've had. She's not helpful at all, she gives a ton of work that barely goes towards your grade, and she's very strict on how she wants things written. I do not recommend this professor at all.

Lots of homework

She is a very sweet woman and wants you to do well, however, she is a very specific grader. As long as you pay very close attention and do everything exactly the way she wants you will do well. She reviews things a lot, so stay on top of your work. She has some technology issues but she's very sweet and tries to fix things as best she can.

Yes Pros. Rondell is a difficult grader but she definitely made me into a better writer. Listen and take note to the criticism that she gives you on your essays. Her quizzes are very easy and her journals are not bad either. Participation matters in her class its apart of your grade.

Prf. Rondell is a tough grader, I got a "comma splice" mistake and she took 16pts off! She also takes a very long time to grade homework. Quizzes are only 10 minutes long, when we asked a little more time, her response was " you either know the answer or not, it takes about 30ec to answer a question". Nice lady but I would not recommend.

In total honesty she is very sweet lady but she should not continue teaching. Take this class if you want to waste 30 minutes of every lecture on unnecessary banter about her emails. Not very tech savvy, which is ok but it becomes annoyingly repetitive halfway through semester. Many conflicts with students in class & overall somewhat rude.

Terrible professor and I regret taking. She gives out too much assignments, on top of that you will have to take quizzes which she doesn't even give you a lot of time for. Also, she is a tough grader! 1 small typo on a essay can lead to a lot of points taken off. TAKE ANOTHER CLASS. Professor Rondell if u are reading this go easy on your students!

She is for a lack of a better term awful. Too much rambling, never any connection with the students or trying to match their passion for literature. Very opinionated about what the meaning of a story is and will take of many points for minor mistakes. Do not take her class, look for another professor. I wish I transferred to a different class.

the only thing that i would say sucks about her class is trying to understand her point of view because like all professors, they say as long as you participate it doesn't matter if your answer is right/wrong and she doesn't say it straight forward but she wants you to elaborate and elaborate and elaborate..we all think in different ways!

This professor is not suited to teaching online. She seems to struggle with Brightspace a lot, which leaves the class very disorganized. Due dates and assignments are often unclear. She condescends to students often. She rambles often and wastes class time on irrelevant things, like lecturing the class as a whole about taking the course seriously.

This professor is awful and gives poor instructions. I could barely ask a question without getting sassed by this teacher but she doesn't give clear instructions like wth. She does give a lot of homework and is very clear on how she would Like the work done . Also takes off points for grammar. I would not recommend her to anyone save your bucks

Made an account just to rate her bc this woman should not be teaching. She is very rude, doesn't understand how brightspace works and refuses to see another perspective on almost anything. She is an incredibly hard grader and will take points off for not seeing it her way.

I am normally very indifferent if a professor is harsh on like grading and participation, but she takes it to a whole other level that is just straight up annoying. She encourages class participation, but if a student is wrong or has a different opinion than hers she will just be sassy about it. Overall, did not enjoy a single moment of her class.
