scatterbrained and unorganized...this added a lot of stress to my coarse load and seemed harder than my advanced classes. dont take unless you have to.

If you hate William Blake as much as I did, you better kiss that A goodbye! Reminded me of communism--you are only allowed to give an opinion if it's the same as hers. She didn't earn the nickname McFail for nothing!

Do not take her courses. Hard to follow along with what is going one. Very unorganized and lectures do not go along with anything

The worst teacher I have ever had. Completely disorganized. Do not take this class unless you want to hear a druggie ramble on about God only knows what. she never completes her thoughts and everything is irrelevant to the learning experience. BEWARE!!

do not take this class, seriously. if you want a very unorganized teacher, take this one. there is no way on earth you can ever make sense of what she is talking about. she really does need to find another thing to do with her life than teach.

Watch out this one is crazy, unorganized boring. Just to name a few

DO NOT TAKE!!!

She is unorganized and treats students like 5th graders. She does not explain assignments and talks alot. I would not recommend anyone to take her!!

This teacher is a waste of classroom space! she not only taught me nothing, but her random rambling kept me from learning anything on my own! I really feel like i wasted my hard earned money taking this class. BEWARE ALL WHO ACTUALLY WANT TO LEARN!!

Unorganized, very strange, don't take this course!

Terrible, disheartened hippie that tokes up too much. Such a bore!!! AVOID

if there is a model for a terrible professor, she is it. Grades things unfairly, is never clear, and lets personal views control her grading. If you arent a feminist, dont take her. She will make your life a living hell.

so unorganized you find yourself asking " what am i supposed to be doing?" on a regular basis. Does not follow her already hard to read syllabus. Syllabus is disorganized and jumbled. take the syllabus as a warning, she is just as bad at clarifying on it as she is in real life.

im still confused. all semester i was doing ok, passed everything, made good grades on all of my work, and in the end she failed me. I am very surprised she is allowed to teach in upper division, since she is only a professor and not a doctor. she IS the reason UD should only be taught by doctors.

Hard to understand. A little grateful deadish. I dont think I learned anything except for William Blake ugh.

DO NOT TAKE! Stay away if possible. All she teaches is boring history stuff. Nothing to do with English. Study guides do not help at all for tests. Tests are impossible. Do as much extra credit as possible. It might seem like a lot but you will need it.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!! She is an idiot and very disorganized! I'm sorry if you ever have to have her as a teacher

EXTREMELY UNORGANIZED. She gives lots of extra credit. Very nice and approachable. She probably will lose half of the things you turn in. Makes no sense in class. No points are ever reached. Study her online tests (they are exactly the multiple choice questions on her tests in class). Essay question on test ask too much to fit into one essay answer

This woman's insane. Her notes are just random crap she rights on the board that have nothing to do with anything. She's super unorganized... and i felt like this was more of a history class than a Lit class. We actually examined a piece of literature a total of 3 times this semester, the rest of the time we had to memorize dates... Horrible class!

YUCK! Do not take this lady! She is the worst teacher i have ever had! Her notes are ridiculous. They make no sense. Seriously, I have been good at english my whole life and even had a brit. lit. major tutor me and just about failed the class! DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!

This is the most unorganized teachers I have ever had she is awful and I swear half the time I dont think she knows what she is talking about she jumps around talking about everything and good luck reading her notes she writes on the board very sloppy and all over the place. She is awful I would not advise anyone to take her

She is crazy! She directs class only to students who already know everything about the class. She doesn't care about anyone else in the class. She is selfish and forces her students to do rediculous things that weren't a part of the syllabus to begin with. She thinks that everyone should have the same opinions she does and gets mad when you don't.

This is probably one of the most crazy professors I have ever had. I'm not just saying this either, she is scattered brained, unorganized, the woman can barely brush her hair in the morning. Please if you enjoy your GPA, do not take this class. She grades purely based on her mood at the time. Take another teacher for brit lit.

I have never in my life encountered a worse educator than this one. I am in awe of her lack of organization and general disregard for the attempts of her students to pacify her. I have never worked so hard at a class and recieved such a poor grade in my academic career. She plays favorites and grades according to her mood. DON'T take her class.

I took Dr. McQuail and I understand that British Lit can be a difficult subject. I worked very hard and did more work than the majority of others and all extra credit. I went to class with 100% attendance! I had a conference at the end of the sem. she told me I was doing well and I made a D. KEEP ALL COPIES OF GRADES!!!

Most UNORGANIZED teacher I have ever had in my 6 semesters and 2 summer semesters in college! VERY UNORGANIZED with your grades and her teaching. Notes on board are everywhere and very scattered and do not flow!

VERY UNORGANIZED!! her notes on the board are not legible and are very scattered. i worked very hard in this class and did every assignment and even had meetings to make sure I was doing ok. Even being told I was doing well I made a D. Apparently she thinks that is good....

Aweful teacher!! hard to follow, unorganized and unprofessional,apperance sloppy.notes on board sloppy.group paper assignments worth 25% of your grade and uterly unable to please her. her gradeing scale is hard to follow like everything in the class. i showed up to everyclass tried on everything i did watched extra credit films and still failed..

Horrible teacher. very unorganized and unhelpful.

This teacher did not work well with her students. She is very opinionated and if you do not agree 100% with her feminist views you will not do well in the class. She was very unorganized and made it very difficult to follow her random notes on the board.

I did great on all assignments that we did including tests but some how failed the class.... her graded works are nothing to do with her final grade. MOST UNORGANIZED teacher i have had in college! its horrible! take another teacher!

Very bad teacher. Unorganized and confusing. Not helpful in the least. I tried to meet with her and she never wanted to meet with me.

She is an awful teacher. She expects her students to have a phd level knowledge of british literature before you een come into class. If you do not agree with her on everything she will fail you. Do not take this course by any means necessary. If you have already selected this course drop as soon as possible, I wish I would have.

She is the most unorganized teacher I've ever met. She gives you reading assignments that do not pertain to half the questions on her quizzes. She seems to think that literature class should also involve a vast knowledge of World History. Also, every single class lecture somehow involves an uncomfortable talk about intercourse. This is not a joke.

Made an A on both the midterm and final. I did all of the homework, and only missed one class. I cited the essay paper wrong and not only did she fail me for that but she gave me an F for the entire course. What a joke of a professor.

She was really terrible. So much reading and didn't teach. No office hours and never emails back.

I had Dr. McQuail for British Literature. We spent the entire first half of the semester talking about one poet. Between her feminist rants and asinine projects there was very little time to actually learn. Her assigned readings were massive and mostly irrelevant (and I actually like reading). 0/10 DO NOT TAKE

She is seriously the worst professor of my college career. She is unorganized. She gives zeros because she's lazy. I have taken two classes through her, and learned absolutely nothing. Except she loves William Blake.

This is the WORST professor I have ever had to endure! She is completely unorganized and changes due dates and assignment requirements constantly and last minute. I never knew what was due the next day because she was so unclear in her instructions. She grades subjectively and your grades depend on the kind of mood she is in that day. AVOID HER!

Dr. McQuail is quite possibly the most scatterbrained, unorganized Professor I have ever had in my entire academic career. Her grading is indecisive, she changes the syllabus constantly, she'll stay on Blake for a month and a half, then expect you to have another work finished. She emails students late at night and expects things to be done by 8am.

I could not read her handwriting on my papers or on the board. She is very scattered and writes notes that go together in random places. Within a week we were not following her syllabus and I never knew when to turn things in. Also you will spend half the semester on William Blake because that is her favorite poet.

She is currently the only professor that teaches 3820 at Tech. She is extremely unorganized, and that is what makes the course harder than necessary. Be prepared for her to change the syllabus five or more times (that is not an exaggeration). I was confused to what was going on half the time.

This is the worst class Ive ever had. She would give study guides but then ask stuff that wasnt on them. She did citations differently than any other teacher Ive ever had. We had to watch a lot of movies outside of class. She told us to use a creative element in multiple cases which meant we had to make up a scenario about an author.

I took this class because I needed my British Lit credit and thought "Vampire and Empire" would be cool. Wrong. Expect late night emails, random quizzes, and subjective grading. Keep up with your grades and assignments because she sure won't. Throw out your study guide and prepare to crane your neck to read her writing on the board. Don't take!

Do not take this course. Dr. McQuails grading is very subjective and her grading scale has no clear meaning. If you have a question dont bother to ask. She will not reply and refuses to talk about grades over any electronic communication. I am currently in the process of appealing a grade with this instructor. DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKE.

McQuail arbitrarily failed a good bit of my class. Her grading scale is an elementary check+/check- system, and she fails to post grades online the entire semester. Her feedback on papers is so sloppily written you can't hardly revise it. It's also been a month and she can't reply to emails and it's been over a month. Whatever you do, do NOT take!!

retroactively changed the syllabus after due dates passed. She seemingly graded papers on a whim.

She's the only professor that teaches Brit Lit. Simply the worst professor I've ever taken. I have no idea what I am supposed to be reading half the time, she sends emails all hours of the night, and assigns cryptic questions that are impossible to know what answer she is looking for. Don't even bother trying to decipher the syllabus.

Here's what to expect if you take her online: emails at all hours of the night (like midnight, 1:30AM, 10PM on a Saturday night) no grades given back ever, reading several long novels at the same time, hour-long videos and movies that have nothing to do with the overall topics. I don't understand why she's still teaching. Avoid if you can.

Just sucks

Avoid if you can. She is horrible with due dates and reading schedules. The syllabus was a mess and I should have dropped this class day one when I read it. She is very nit-picky and you cannot convince me she even enjoys teaching because she is so bad at it.

This course was online, but there wasn't anything on iLearn until nearly a month after class began. Her instructions/ emails take 5-10x of re-reading to understand. The hand-written feedback I received on my work was impossible to read, as it looked like it was written by a 5 year old. I did get a good laugh out of it. Can't believe she has a PhD.

3 words to describe the class: Disorganized, disorganized, & disorganized. There is barely anything on Ilearn, her emails are 5 pages long, we currently have 1 grade in the class, and her feedback is impossible to read. Don't even get me started on the syllabus... I couldn't tell you if I have an F or an A and I work my tail off; nothing has grades

Completely random and not what I expected. The class was supposed to be about vampires but we spent half the semester talking about Jane Eyre and the difficulties she faced as a woman. Her feedback was handwritten and unreadable and she changed the syllabus so much I gave up trying to keep things organized.

I would not recommend Dr. McQuail for this class. She is extremely disorganized and she doesn't update grades so you are constantly in the dark on where you stand. Lectures are impossible to follow and she gives pop quizzes which are obscure fill in the blank questions.

She is a deeply unorganized professor and assigns ridiculous assignments on topics that don't end up mattering to the class content. She also is unnecessarily strict grader, refusing to grade papers for the slightest error. Her lectures are very unorganized and hard to follow, often rambling on about random topics, as well as being extremely boring

iLearn isn't utilized; assignments and grades are sent by email; scattered, unorganized lectures. Few grades make it challenging to recover from bad ones. Unreasonably high expectations, quoting works from MEMORY during exams with no help from reading material. My lack of interest in the topics doesn't help. Overall, very confusing and unclear.

Dr. McQuail is unorganized and unclear in her instructions and communications. Her syllabus is overpacked and under-explained. She spent many weeks discussing Blake, her favorite author, so we never made it to the end of the readings. The work itself isn't too hard (reading, group work, 2 essays), but it can be difficult to get clarification.

Lectures seem to have no direction whatsoever, always going on long tangents about topics that were completely unrelated to the course. Pop quizzes were frequent. More than once I was given an "important" assignment, only for it to never be mentioned again. Very kind lady, just not the best professor.
