What Students Say

Assignments each week, but many are only two or three paragraphs with specific instruction on what goes in each paragraph, typically takes one or two hours per assignment, final is a five page research paper but specific instructions on how to write it make it go by quickly, LOTS of extra credit, attendance is worth an entire letter grade

I enjoyed taking her class b/c she got me interested in the war. She's quite humorous. I must say though, her assignments almost killed me. She's willing to listen to reason which is admirable.

A rather scary lady, even when she's in a "good" mood. She gets frustrated with the class easily, and will spend 20 minutes (out of a 50 minute class period) chewing out one person in front of the whole class for messing up on a paper. Very opinionated, and has a hard time seeing anyone's point of view other than her own. Made an A, but not easily.

She may be better with regular classes but she replied to my emails weeks after I sent them if she did at all. Files she uploaded were incorrect, missing pages etc; video lectures were ALL in .wmv (you have to download it to watch). Instructions were not clear and docked points for rules she made She can also be pretty disrespectful to students.

Lots of extra credit. I passed well above an "A." Some students might say she can be harsh, but i only saw her act like that with students who were rude or disrespectful. As long as you are respectful she will go above and beyond for you as a professor.

Not my favorite professor, but definitely not my least favorite either. Very paper heavy and reading heavy. I mean duh look at the title. She does give lots of extra credit opportunities, but it's not something ridiculously easy to just get. Patience is needed for the class. It may have just been because I took it online.

Benny is an ok person, although very political, so get ready for that. Her political opinions bleed into her lectures/projects disastrously, and she will put you down if you disagree with her, even though she claims she won't. She has some obligations in her personal life that make it difficult to contact her outside class. But the class is easy.

Professor Benny was a great teacher. As a student with Dyslexia I was concerned about taking this class. In her online class she read all the stories and then further discussed what was read. This was very helpful for those that hate to read. She gives tons of opportunities for extra credit and I received an A with above the 1000 points.

Benny is a pretty chill person. Just follow her directions and you'll pass. She offers metric ton of extra credit, so you can actually pass the class early. You'll watch a lot of documentaries and write a lot. Sometimes, there will be a class discussion. Overall, the class was fun and easy. Benny is a good person and really cares about her students

Towards the end of the semester (taken over a summer session) she sat all of us down and talked about our grades and I told her one sentence pretty much and she was able to see that as I connect myself to the rhetoric of grades too much and literally helped me get out of that mindset, shes a very caring professor

Best professor I have had by far. She is amazing and really seems to care about her students. She has a lot of students from more than one school and still somehow finds a way to respond when emailing or texting her. She makes writing essays very fun.

The whole semester was just a group project making a documentary on a conspiracy theory. Super fun and creative as long as your group doesn't suck lol. its due in 5 sections and each one is peer graded so as long as you follow the rubric you get a 100. If someone isn't doing their work then she will fix it without causing issues.

She is a very understanding person and funny at times. And an easy grader. She may have had a bad semester, but she canceled a few classes and was sick too. We mostly watched documentaries at first. And had 4 library classes( 2 weeks). It was not useful at all. But what she taught us to write an academic paper was a very useful skill.

Ms. Benny is the best Lit professor I have ever taken. We read each story together in class and do an in class analysis. Just come to class. On our paper workshop days, she writes a paper as we write ours so just follow her format. Only 3 essays and the final was a revision of one of the three. Loved her! Take her and you will not regret it.

I had her for both comp 1 & 2. The class was spilt into 5 groups of 5, and we had to make an original documentary. Spring 2025 had to do cryptids, and past classes did ghost hunting and conspiracy theories. It was super fun, most of it is peer graded expect at the end. If someone in your group doesn't help, they have to write a super long essay.

One of my favorite teachers! We only had 5 papers for a grade, and textbook actives. She gives extra credit if she cancels class, will give extra credit if she really likes your essay enough to use as an example for her future classes, and she lets the whole class go to the library to work on the essays together.
