She doesn't give a break in the middle of a long class but it still goes by faster than most other classes do since there's a lot of discussion and inclass groupwork.

Judy is a great teacher. She genuinely wants her students to learn and enjoy the class. She gives little quizes to make sure you are keeping up on the reading, which isn't too heavy.

I was excited to take mythology, but the class is a boring routine. Come in, take a quiz, then talk about the readings til our faces are blue. No break in the long class, the class takes all the fun from the myths. We watch movie clips, but she starts from the middle, so how are we supposed to know what we're watching??? Ridiculous class.

Judy is an awesome professor, she loves to engage so much with her students and constantly asks how we are doing. She is available to help no matter the circumstance you are in during class. She is very understandable and always relates her topics to what is going on in the real world .

Judy is one of the best professors I've ever had at De Anza. I've never felt very confident in my writing, but deeply improved my skills. She cares about all her students and has a great sense of humor. She also gives a base format for every essay you write, so you know what she is expecting. Very well at teaching grammar, I can't thank her enough

A lot of reading, but simple reading, so textbook is definitely required! Judy was an amazing professor, I loved taking her class. As long as you read and do the required assignments, you will get a good grade! She was very sweet and forgiving. I plan on taking more courses with her!

Honestly she's the best writing teacher I ever had. The material in her class is really interesting because she likes to make it revenant to our present day world. Follow her instructions, and you'll be fine. She really cares about everyone equally and is always available outside of class. I'm going to take ENLGISH 1A with her.

If you read the book, keep up with the homework, and ask questions when needed, the class is easy. A lot of the quizzes are open book/note. You get to bring in a rough draft of your essay for feedback before its due.

She wants to develop her own methodology of Writing Essays. She prevented me from using transitional words as well as using specific grammatical structures which shouldn't be the case. She chose a very boring book where you can get an idea for what will be future, but you don't learn any new words.

Tough grader on essays she ask for certain pointless things. She doesn't even read your whole essay when she already wants you to rewrite the whole thing. Your not even done with one essay when she piles another one on you. Her essays are overall confusing in what she wants in them. She doesn't even use canvas so grading wise your lost.

She will stay after class and help you in her office hours as much as you need. She will even write a whole paragraph on the board just as an example for you.

The other reviews are pretty much accurate, but I also would add that make sure you really know how to analyze your reading! Most of the essays and discussions are more or less about analysis of what you read. If you're struggling, don't be afraid to tell her because she will provide a lot of help!

A very good and enthusiastic professor. It's an English class about Women's Lit so you have to read feminist-related books and academic journals along with writing the essays, but she provides valuable feedback. Plus, the homework she assigns gives you material for your essays so you're able to kill two birds with one stone.

Judy is the best English teacher I've ever had. No kidding. We got one book to read, four essays to write about the book. There will be discussion posts and quizzes mainly about analyzing the book. Only some of them are about grammar techniques. Her comments on my essay encourage me a lot. I've done so much better than I thought I could!

I want to thank Professor for the great Women in Literature course, and I have learned a lot of valuable insights from the Professor's critical viewpoint that I had not thought of. Professor was also very supportive as I experienced my family issues. I definitely recommend this class.

This teacher is awful. She forces students to rewrite their papers exactly as she imagines, giving them a C despite all of the effort they put into it. It's frustrating, especially since she doesn't even know what she wants. I highly recommend avoiding her class, as it will not benefit you in terms of freedom or creativity.
