She is a good teacher, but just not the kind that I enjoy. She is way too dependent on the internet, and I just can't make myself remember to look at all her websites. The structure for the research paper is intended to help you not procrastinate, but it just made it worse for me. She's okay.

Professor Tarver is genuinely a nice person and very caring but this class is very ink heavy, meaning you have to print out A LOT. You will need to have a laptop for this class and there is always going to be a lot of talking and not much clear explanation. The assignments are doable but the way she explains it, it sounds very complex.

Professor Tarver is an excellent teacher. To pass the class, attendance is mandatory since we do quizzes which she help us with. She gives a lot of extra credit for those who are falling behind in grade point in class. I got an A and I think it was some what easy and Im talking her for enc1102. ��

I definitely learned more in ENC1101 than i did in her ENC1102 class. you basically have to waste ink on papers that don't matter in the end of it all. I would compare her way of explaining assignments to someone going in circles or beating around the bush. It's indirect and she makes it seem harder than what it is, which can cause stress on you.

Professor Tarver is amazing but you must be on top of your work and do it on time and read instructions, she doesn't like excuses and just expects some effort from the students. Be polite. Must attend class. Many quizzes done in class and she gives all the answers. Lots of homework and papers, but possible to pass with an A even in 6 weeks class.

Professor Taver is a great professor. She gives many opportunities to get a good grade. If you're coming to class on time and putting in an effort, it's an easy passable class. She's also very funny and warm, a great person overall.

Tarver is very kind . Her appearance will give you hope that you can pass her class with an A, well you can't. She doesn't grade any of your work until last minute, when it is way too late for you to do anything to improve. Class consists of others giving you feedback rather than her own personal feedback. She sucks at giving directions.

Third attempt. This class is, as aforementioned, INK HEAVY! Be prepared to read and analyze articles/journals and use those analyses for a research essay. Overall her teaching method is... Aight, but ask for help when you need it! The good news is she's very approachable and helpful.

When I took this class I was so lost in what we had to do and if we were going to get graded on it. The whole semester everyone at my table had no clue on what to do most of the time. Would not take again.

I personally wouldnt take her class again because you never know what youre gonna be graded on Shes not very good at explain things and when you ask it just confuses you even more. However, shes kind and allows students to complete late assignments.

This was an okay class I took for ENC 1102. Its kind of difficult especially with the last paper but she breaks the last paper into steps. Theres group work so find a group reliable. Some of the work can be challenging and a bit much. But shes funny and understanding. Mostly everything is online and she goes over pretty much everything.

Professor Tarver is so sweet and a great professor. Her instructions can sometimes be a bit vague so make sure to ask her to clarify so you arent confused. She also goes at a pretty fast pace so make sure to be paying attention. DO all your work and you should be fine. Sometimes the workload is stressful but you'll get it done.

Her instructions were confusing and a literary paper alongside a "research paper" is worth 60% of our grade combined. She did not tell us how we did on these last two papers until the grade book closed. She's an "easy A" but doesn't give you feedback on the papers you write. You review your own papers instead. Just show up and write the papers.

Tarver's class is relatively easy until you get to the essays. There are about 4 of them based on short stories that you read for homework. Every class there is a quiz on proper essay writing, which she gives you the answers for. There is an essay which is your final, and that will be the bulk of your grade. if you can write well, you'll be fine.

The professor provides good feedback on most of your papers. Be prepared to write a lot as she gives writing assignments at least once or twice a week. She is always available for help. She offers extra credit a couple of times throughout the semester. There is also going to be a lot of group work which is done with the entire class.
