No Comments
Great Teacher all hw is out of the work book. 5 easy eassays quiz are OPEN BOOK. I took the once a week class and the inclass work would only take 1 hour or less to finish. Bad thing you can't leave early or she will take out hours or minutes depends on what time you. I didn't take the final optional and my final grade was a high B
if you plan on missing a lot of classes do not take hers!! she will not pass you if are absent too much and she will make you make-up the hours you missed. Her assignments are real easy, but she kinda assigns a lot of bookwork but it is really easy.
Very helpful and very smart lady. She is so nice that you could just have a conversation with her like as if she was a friend.
Very good class and teacher. Lots of peer work. Its an easy A.
very understanding, fun, outgoing, and helps you out alot!!!
very easy, outgoing nice personality
Very nice teacher, lots of group work. Very helpful. Open book quizes. Fun classes cuz she has good lectures. Take her if you want an easy A or B. Just show up and do the work. Extra credit given too.
dude she is easy. open book quizzes, usually no homework and if there is then do it during class she doesnt care. easy grader. lots of group work she really rarely talks
she is an excellent teacher, if you are not good in english, this is the teacher to take, she helps you a lot and she is good on grading, a lot homework too.
Easy & Helpful Teacher. She is a sweet lady and grads easy. Extra credit are given.
very easy class
EASSSY class...she's a great professor, very clear and direct on what she wants. She's kind too. The only thing is, she is reallllllly strict about keeping you the ENTIRE class time, never lets us out early...counts that as a tardy. but other than that, she's a good teacher.
This is an easy class. All the work in the class was very simple and easy. Professor Hancock lets you e-mail her the essay, so you can revise it before turning it in, so it is really easy to get an "A" in her class.
I was in her Winter class. It was easy. She is very helpful and kindness. You can Email her anytime, and she could also check your essay by email. Great Professor~!
AWESOME!!! She is a kind hippie who cares about your education. She wants to help you in any way she can. She has out of the book homework the first half of the semester so if you do bad on an essy, you can still get a good grade. EASY HOMEWORK. I highly recommend her, you will NOT regret it!!!
Great teacher, overall very helpful and fair on grading!
She is very helpful when it comes to writing paper. I had her for eng 67 and 68. She is wonderful
really nice and easy teacher. just do the homework. she's really clear on what she wants for the essays. did a total of 5 essays. open book quizzes, and she lets youdo extra credit work. you can also email your essay to her so she can read it and revise.
Very good teacher, always open to questions. Easy class, open book quizes and a lot of extra credit. She was also clear on what she wanted from the papers.
Great teacher. Always willing to help. Makes class fun. Easy A if you just complete the work.
Easiest English professor compared to others I've heard about, wish i could ake her for 68. She gives quizzes everyday but they're easy &you can use your book. no novel is assigned. hmwk is not mandotory but useful to recieve extra cred. in class. DO NOT MISS A DAY OF CLASS every point counts...i could've gotten an easy A but missed out on 3classes
Lots of working and writing in this class; if you're taking the 6 weeks session, the works and writing are back to back. when it comes to garding; the teacher is very detail, catches almost every mistake, a little harsh, but fair. You'll actually learn something at the end of the course. This is not an easy A class, every point counts.
Great Teacher. Clear to understand what she means. Open to questions. Lets you email her your papers early and she will check them for you. High Recommended to those who dont like English like me!
everything thats been said about her already is true. the syllabus is VERY helpful. its the class's bible....dont lose it!!!
don't take her.
Easist English class I had ever have.I got an A for sure. If you do all your work and attend all the classes, you will probably get an A or B on it.
Dont take her. got tricked by some reviews. I know a lot of ppl and including my personal experience, she usually fails 2/3 of the class. Only arund 10 ppl per class would pass. She starts the class giving new HWs, then she abandons the class in the name of "group-discussion." She doesnt teach. Very picky. fails you if you cite one quote wrong.
Seriosuly, the easiest teacher I've ever taken! She allows you to send in your essays for "pre-grading." No excuse for anything lower than a B! Gives out a BUNCH of extra credit.. upt o 75 points.. awesome teacher!
Easiest english professor by far! She is willing to "pre-grade" essays and she gives advice on how to fix them.
She is an awesome teacher, very easy to understand. She provides plenty of extra credit and extra help when needed. Class can be fun when you get off topic :)
Very humorous but a lot of homeworks, quizzes, and essays. She is very energetic and inspirational. She is willing to help anyone. She is not a easy grader but "Beware" most of the time students will be in a group learning environment she doesn't teach much in class. She also give a lot of helpful writing tips, candies & a lot of extra credits.
I had first doubts due to first impressions. But she gives a lot of helpful tips, not just class wise but how to be successful in the business life as well. Gives a lot of extra credit so your not hopelessly handicapped if you somehow failing her class. Plus she gives open book quizzes. However she grades hard. Overall excellent teacher.
Great teacher knows what she is talking about, very helpful, and very nice,
I Really liked Joy Hancock...She was funny very informative and all she requires of you is that you stay for the quizes and pass her class.I recommend her class.
Great English Professor!! Very nice and informative. She teaches quality over quantity. She tends to scare people away in the beginning of the semester but those who drop her class are not very good students.ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY
She is very nice and super helpful. She allows you to email her your papers and will let you know what needs to be fixed. Do all your journals and homework, they are easy and will help your grade. She gives extra credit, so do as much as you can. Essay topics are interesting. I got an A in this class because she was very helpful!! TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!
Took her in the summer super easy. Of course you have to study and do the work but it's easy and she makes learning fun. I enjoyed writing essays and understood the proper MLA format when I was done. She is very inspirational, upbeat, and will keep you entertained. She offers extra credit. Anyone can pass this class they just have to do the work.A+
The teacher is smart and gives good lectures.Very Helpful. Do the work and you'll easily pass the class.
Definitely take her if you are the person who finishes your essay before the due date because you can always e-mail her and get feedbacks. She is very helpful and intelligent. She really cares about all her students. No class is easy if you do not do your assignments people!

very helpful,very nice, extremely good at returning emails and telling you how to get what grade you want on all essays, very informative. I'd definintely take her again. and her quizzes are easy points(: most are only 3 or 4 (simple/open book, notes) questions (:
Professor Hancock is exquisite. She is very helpful, and you can email your essay to her any time. She will give you preliminary grades for it and tell you how to improve it. She talks a lot in class because she goes into details how you could improve your essay; it's all for your benefit. Highly recommend anyone who struggles with English take her
She is awesome!! I enjoyed her class so much...if you need help she is there 100%...her sense of humor is cool!! I highly recommend her :)
I don't like this professor at all. This class is really critical thinking. She grades essays pretty hard and she wants your sources to be "reliable". Quizzes are not too bad. Homework is assigned daily and you have to be prepared. Quizzes almost every week too. Strict on attendance as well.
Honestly, I hate this professor. Even though I go to the writing centers, I still get C's on my essays. Quizzes almost every week and homework every class meeting. Attendance is mandatory too. No more than 6 absences or else you get an F. This class is really critical thinking and you are expected to read ahead of time. Drop this class with a W.
Great Professor!Helpful at all times. She takes time to make sure that you understand each assignment. If you finish your work before it's due you can email her your work and she will tell you the areas that need work. Gives extra credit. She cares a lot about her students. If you show up to class and do the work you'll easily pass.
would really recommend this professor! she is REALLY helpful and will help you in anyway she can. just do all your essays and homework and you'll do fine. homework is really easy. her class can get boring but she is good professor!
Absolutely loved her! She's very helpful and will look over your essays and give you advice so you can get a better grade. She really cares about her students if YOU care about the class. This class was an easy A (if you do the work) and a must take! She also gives many extra credit opportunities...
Very good proffesor, she helps in any way she can, lots of homework,but easy. Highly rrecommend. .
Professor Hancock is an amazing teacher. Very sweet lady and the class assignments are really easy. Expect to have homework,but it is always discussed in class the day it is due and she practically give you the answers. Also the quizzes are easy because they are always open book.
1 of the easiest classes ive taken, seriously. She assigns about 7 essays total (final included & she provides feedback DURING class & gives you a grade, that u can keep or fix errors & get a higher grade! ALOT OF EXTRA CREDIT (like 50 points, almost 5%), A simple quiz every class open book that really help with grade! EASY A & u leave early alot
She is a great teacher! The best one I would say :) Her class is really easy if you are there every day, she's there for all of her students and gives a lot of extra credit! I would take her again!
Joy Hancock is a GREAT English professor! I definitely recommend her class!! She is so nice and easy going! She's funny too!! There is a lot of group work which I loved! Easy A class as long as you do all your work and turn everything in!
Amazing brilliant Teacher; I recommend her to all student looking for an learning experience. I tell students not to be turned off by her first impression, because shes only trying to weed out the students that dont want to work for their grade (you know who you are). Best teacher I ever had. I enjoy her enthusiasm & passion for teaching.
Her humor is old school. Gives 6 essays. the class is essay as long as you go and do the work. everyday you take a test and she talks a lot. As long as you do the essays and DLAs your good. Take advantage of the tutors and writing center it will be that much easier. Over all she makes everything simple and easy to understand.
Best English Professor,. I took her for English 67, class was very easy to pass. She has a great personality. Class consist of peer review and easy test. If you have the chance to take her, take her!
Professor Hancock is a great teacher! Her classes are fun and helpful. The lecture schedule and grading are based on the syllabus. There are 6 writings and one final essay in total, and she has a lecture to show how to write each essay. The best thing is you can always write a practice essay and email it to her for comments and preliminary grade.
Really good, rambles too much though on non-related things. Listen to the lectures and do all the assignments. It was an easy class.
Professor Hancock is a great support, her class is not easy but she will guide you and help you feel confident in your writing. 67 will help you understand possible forgotten writing concepts. She is well organized, and does not stray from her syllabus, do your classwork, homework, and don't miss your test and you will be fine.
Professor is really nice and gives out really good feedback on writing. Hancock, who is also a fun person, makes the class interesting and not boring. If I could take her class again I will do it with no doubt. However, her class could be confusing at first, but if you show up and do all the assignments and homework you will pass.
Best English professor! She was very helpful!!
AMAZING TEACHER. She is such a great teacher that she made me want to become a professor too. She made me so intrigued to learn, I love her. :) She isn't too hard or too easy, she is perfect. She's patient and she shares a lot of stories that tie into what you're learning. Attendance is crucial. Take her class, you will love it. She listens to you!
Easiest class you'll ever take. Quizzes open book with lots of chances for extra credit. A little tedious because you'll have to go down to writing center about 3-4 times for her class but still easy. Had to read about 5 short stories for the entire semester with 7 papers.
Super chill teacher!!! She's so nice and her class is so easy. Just do her work and you'll be A okay. She shares funny stories with you so her class goes by fast.
I loved the professor. Shes very caring, understanding, and patient with students. Shes also very funny, and she prepared me well for eng 1A. All the quizzes are take in the groups she assigns and essays are easy to do with the help of classmates and professor. I would take her again if I could
Professor Hancock explains every assignment very well. I have really bad anxiety and the professor has made in easy for me to ask questions and understand the material. She encourages students to work ahead of time, and provides feedback. It is not an easy class but she is very helpful. I recommend this class 100%.
Professor Hancock is a great professor. I did not know how to write an essay before I attended her class, but by the end of it, I was able to write a clearly written essay. She is a tough grader though. The only reason I got a B in her class was that on my midterm, I accidentally wrote the wrong author's name on a quote and she gave me a D for it.
Overall she is very nice yet you have to do 3 papers and the last paper is a 10 page paper on a film which makes it a little difficult, if English is a breeze for you take her if not I dont recommend
Follow the directions step by step.
Professor Hancock is an amazing professor who is truly dedicated to her students, even during a difficult time of pandemic and mandatory online classes she made it as accessible as possible. I didnt have the motivation to do any work let alone pass but she encouraged me and assisted far more than she needed. I highly recommended taking her class!
Ms. Hancock is a caring teacher always available outside class. I took this class during pandemic Spring 2020 and she made the transition to online class very smooth. She provides opportunity for extra credit and she lets you send her your paper for feedback before submitting it which gives you the opportunity to make revisions for a better grade.
Lots of papers, but all easy. Offers extra credit. Very easy class, but she is also a great professor. Teaches you how to become very good at analyzing and interpreting things in different ways. Lots of work, but start as soon as its assigned and you can turn in early. Great at giving feedback on papers.
Easy class. Had her for both 1A and 1C. Amazing professor and provides a lot of help. Email her rough drafts before due date and shell give you tons of feedback on how to improve. Great professor and easy class so double win. Highly recommend.
I definitely recommend taking Professor Hancock! I would always do my work early and she would always be there to help. She is very nice, cares for her students, and gives good clear feedback! The work is manageable, so just try! (:
Professor Joy is so helpful and Always trying to help students to get an A. She is always doing zoom sessions to discuss the assignments and readings with the students so they have a better idea of what is excepted and learn to write an good analytic paper.
I highly recommend Professor Hancock. Aside from her being very helpful, she truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed. I especially encourage future students to use emails and optional zoom sessions as well as tutoring to help them succeed more easily in the class. Time management is important as it may be easy to get behind.
Professor Hancock is the best teacher ever! she is very patient with everyone and she tries her best to help us to make successes. She always gives us chances to make extra credit to boost up our grades.
Professor Hancock was the best professor I've had. There's a decent amount of papers, but you have time to do them. She gives extra credit a lot throughout the semester and she allows you to send your paper before it's due for feedback and preliminary grading so you can change your paper and resubmit it.
Professor Hancock was a great professor during covid. She is really good at answering back fast . The nice thing is you can turn in your essays early so she can grade them early and you have a chance to fix them before the due date. I did take her during a 6 week course so it was a lot of work in the last couple of weeks. You write about 6 essays.
Professor Joy was a great teacher and the best Ive ever had for English she gives multiple extra credit opportunities and gives you feedback and all your assignments to help you. She is very kind, caring, and understanding and if you just try your best you will pass her class.
Professor Hancock is hands down one of the best professors at Mt SAC. She truly cares about and listens to her students and is available outside of class. She responds quickly to emails and really wants you to pass the class. She also gives great and honest feedback on essays and helps you improve on your writing skills.
Professor Hancock was an amazing professor ! I learned a lot from her class and my writing has improved a lot because of her. Her essays were always really clear about what she wanted in them and was always available for help. If you turn in your essay early she will give you a preliminary grade and you are able to fix whatever she marked.
Professor Hancock is a great teacher. She clearly states the expectation for each assignment. The assignments she gave were interesting. The amazing part about Professor Hancock is her willingness to go above and beyond with anyone seeking guidance or help. You definitely leave her class writing better analytical papers.
There was a lot of homework every week and no late work is accepted unless there is a valid reason. She came off very defensive and rude in our emails. She is a tough grader and is really unclear with what she wanted out of my essays. I usually do pretty well in my English classes, and although I'm passing, my essays are always graded poorly.
There's a million things she needs, and she'll never be satisfied
Professor was great super nice and understanding, this class was online with optional zoom meetings that were super useful aid is provided his amazing. this class included short and long stories to read so be prepared to read. Movies to watch which are a plus and she gives extra credit. also willing to meet privately for more assistance!!
Professor Hancock is extremely kind and helpful, if you were considering taking anyone online let it be her !
I don't know what professor Hancock wanted in my essays 70% of the time. I attended tutoring for each one of my essays and most of the time she gave me a horrible grade. For her essays any articles she does not provide you with are a waist of her time as she commented when I used one from the Mt.SAC library.
I enjoyed having Prof Hancock. She responded to all of my emails quickly. She is clear about what she expects on her essays; as long as you follow the guidelines, you're basically guaranteed at least a B on the paper. You write 6 essays plus a research paper. Her optional zoom meetings were VERY helpful and you get extra credit for attending.
Prof. Hancock was a supportive teacher and always offered help on essays and assignments. Optional zooms and you get extra credit if you include comments into your discussion posts. 6 analysis papers+1 research paper, and the assignments were fairly easy. Recommend if you're willing to put the effort.
I took her for my very first semester, and I can only say that she is tough with her students I am not too well with essays and knowing about MLA formats and in every essay and research paper I did I barely passed with a C. She does offer lots of extra credit by going to her Zoom class and extra credit assignments but wouldn't recommend it.
Skip if you want to pass Eng1A
She is constantly accusing students of using AI for assignments. There is an assignment almost daily. The textbook was required.
She is never clear about what she wants always accuses you of using AI way too much homework She doesn't give you any opportunity to succeed in her class I went to many tutors about her essays and she always gave me a bad grade
She is never clear about what she wants always accuses you of using AI way too much homework She is a bad professor. Never to taking her class if you want to success
Probably the worst English prof at Mt sac. Every essay she accused me of using AI and was never satisfied by my essays. Never explained to me what I could add or how to improve my writing. When she did would say I wrote well she scored me poorly. If you can DONT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Not sure how she is in other classes but in ENGL 1A she is awful.
This professor is very stubborn. She only wants to see what she wants to see. The one-month course required us to write 7 papers, but I actually wrote nearly 20 because she would keep asking you to revise the paper until it met her standards. You have to think about things from her perspective, and she never respects your ideas back.
EXTREMELY tough grader. DO NOT TAKE
Tough grader, even when I was told I had a well-structured, well-written essay, she accused me of plagiarism. She wants all her essays in a specific way, which makes it very difficult to improve and get better in this class. I do recommend her to anyone, Last semester, I also enjoyed English and got an A+. Professor Hancock destroyed that.
she will never be happy with the work you submit. she is probably unhappy in her own life.
terrible
This is the worst professor ever. Just thinks all students use AI and give them a failing grade. How does a class of 30 students all receive "F" grade! No instructions and help at all.
Took this class for summer and sucked. my first F and got really upset, I had tutoring/support and even then wasn't enough for her. Does give a lot of extra credit but tough grader. did accused me for using "AI" and any small errors on your essays will lower your grade I suggest you don't take this class.
don't bother to take her class in person or online also don't let those fake rating before the pandemic blind you. If you're not Shakespear or Homer all your works from blood and sweat will become AI's works.
She accuses her students of using AI. Was never able to meet her standards. So many assignments. VERY tough grader. DO NOT take her class.
The worst teacher I've ever had in my life. She is a perfectionist who is never satisfied with anything you submit and will always nitpick about anything. She expects all her students to know everything about essays and never helps you. Although I was never accused of AI, I highly recommend that no one take her class unless you like failing.
Professor Hancock is a tough grader, but if you turn the essay in 2-3 days early, she grades them and lets you resubmit them for a higher grade up until the due date. The tutor for this class is amazing, and if you meet with her frequently, you will get a good grade. It's a tough class to get an A in, but isn't that most courses? 🤨
Professor Hancock can be particular, but engage with her system and it works. Lots of essays, but using unstuck AI and the free textbook helped me succeed. Recommended if you're willing to put in the effort.
