Probably the BEST lit teacher EVER! She's fun and down to earth. We only had like 4 grades so you have to keep up. I highly recommend taking her. It's a really enjoyable class. She doesn't have her head up her ass like some of the rest.

She is an awesome, laid back professor. She really encourages free writing; make sure that you let your creativity flow and you'll do fine. She's a great lady.

Great teacher, fun class. She's very helpful when writing papers. She keeps the class interesting even though it is an English class.

very good teacher would recommend to anyone love her as a teacher

loved her helpful but challenging

Wonderful Teacher.... very helpful if you are ever confused and class is fun! I never want to miss class, one of the few classes that I look forward to going.... Strict attendance policy after 3 or 4 you drop a letter grade so you have to go to class.

Ms. Joyner is the greatest teacher ever!!! I mean I love her and her class to death! She expects you to participate in class though, so dont expect to go and be quite! Everyone has to speak. Also she has a strict attendance polic but trust me you will want to go!!!!

She's really nice and wants to help you. I'd recommend her.

She is one of the best English teachers I've ever had. She gives you feedback on all your essays and she lets you revise them if you need to. She's a very nice person.

An amazing teacher. Seriously, take her. She takes her students' opinions and feelings into account. She listens and is always there to help you, whether or not you need help with papers or just life in general. I found her class truly fascinating. We read some really good books and if you come to class, the papers just fall into play. Great woman.

She's a really nice teacher. Class is kinda tough but just because the work is tedious. Great method of teaching; she makes you write just as much as the other classes but through only three or four major assignments so that was great. very clear on what she wanted. Some tedious work but i think shes better than the others. And shes got great****

I'm not really sure how I feel about Joyner. She is funny and cool, but she decides if she likes you or not the first minute of class, and if she doesn't like you... Life will be difficult. She is very strict on attendance and grading... Four papers in the semester... Most of it is more self directed though.

Ms. Joyner is amazing. She is by far the best teacher I have ever had. She is very kind and always does her best to help her students. She is a little strict on grading, but that is because she makes it very clear what she wants. Plus, there are opportunities to get regraded. A lot of work, but it goes by fast and projects usually link together.

EXCELLENT! Although I had to drop her class due to Mono causing me to miss too many days. She still did SO much to help me! Truly a great lady! Class work is challenging but most definitely do-able. Never excessive homework or busy work. Always has intriguing essay topics to write papers on and is interested in students Succeeding.The Greatest!

Loved it! I'm good at writing and she helped me improve a ton! VERY understanding! She relates to students and knows what we're dealing with. Don't bullcrap with her because she can see thru it. If you work hard, she will truly help you. Take this class!! It will really help you a lot.

I am not a big fan of English but she made it interesting. Her teaching techniques are different than any other teacher that I have had. She is really organized and lets you know when everything is due. If I ever needed help with my writing, she was there for me. I highly recommend this prof!! Just make sure you do all the work!

She's a great teacher. It's alot of writing but she lets you re-do them and she'll sit with you and help you fix it. She also plans meetings to make sure you know where you stand. There's alot of grades so it's easy to keep your grade up

Amazing teacher! Not your run-of-the-mill class. No real research papers, but you do write a lot and often. Focuses on the writing process more than the final product. Relaxed class and fun. She's great to talk to and always has your best interest in mind. Took her for 1101 and 1102, and look forward to having a class with her in the future!

Best professor I've had so far! Super nice and helpful with ANY questions. Work load is a big large but if you pay attention, you'll do fine. No cell phones. Really has sparked my interest in literature.

Ms Joyner is a fun and creative teacher that we was taught something new. the material she went over in class are things that you will use throughout your college career. Trust me I am the last person that wants to take an English class but this one was actually fun to take.

Had her for Eng 1101, and 1102. She is a great teacher extremly helpful, she is very thorough when explaining. I got a high B in her class, she lets you redo assignments which is a big PLUS! She is also very funny and keeps class very intersting.

She is THE most helpful, understanding professor I've had. Yes her assignments are a challenge, & it does require you to work, but it's college, isn't that what we're here for? She is so helpful, always willing to meet & clarify anything, & you get to redo all assignments. She's THE best teacher I've had, & you'll walk away actually learning.

She is a GREAT teacher. Yes she gives a lot of work but if you do the work as she gives it, it is very very helpful. She is willing to work with you to bring your grade up. The way she introduces topics is very interesting! Only class I truly look forward too and feel like the class has become friends! She didn't care for me either but shes FAIR!

There's a good amount of work and she never puts grades on anything and hands things back VERY late. We didn't get our first major assignment back until 2 weeks prior till the semester ends. Wouldn't reccomend her unless you just want to ride through without ever seeing your grades.

She assigns a lot of work, giving examples and walk-through's for every major assignment. Doesn't hand things back until about 2 weeks before the semester is over and grades papers extremely hard. leaving you little time to revise(if allowed).

This professor is great. It was a rough semester and she was very helpful and understanding. Do your work and go to class. Don't procrastinate because assignments are difficult and there aren't many of them. Go to her for advice on assignments. Attendance is stringent and you have to pay attention in class. Ask questions! Great professor overall.

LOVE THIS CHICK

Mrs. Joyner is amazing. You must do the work in her class & she does hand out things sorta late but you are allowed 3 absences & she goes through all the assignments thoroughly beforehand.

I had Mrs. Joyner during EIP and I thought she was an amazing teacher. She was very helpful and has a good sense of humor. She has been my all time favorite professor. She is willing to help you as long as you prove it to her that you want it. I think she is quite fair.

I love Professor Joyner! She really challenged my way of thinking and taught me a lot more than I thought I would learn going into the course. She expects you to completely assignments fully but does allow you to revise everything at the end of the semester. She makes herself avaiable when you need it and will work with you on deadlines

This class sucked. The attendance policy was not stressed but resulted in 10 points off of your final grade after your third absence. Class was very boring and included a lot of unnecessary and difficult assignments. DO NOT Take her class. Is a hard grader as well.

I love Ms. Joyner! Had her for EIP for 1101 and now have her again for 1102. Although that it is true that its hard to understand exactly what she wants, she gives you plenty of help in understanding the projects she gives. She has peer reviews, office hours to discuss your work, and will answer all questions until assignments are understood.

Professor Joyner is an amazing teacher. Although her class is a ton of work it helps you become a better writer. In ever rubric for every assignment, it is laid out clearly what you must do in order to receive the grade you want. she is very clear in her reasoning and discussions if you participate and ask questions.

Class is optional but you don't get to make up for work that you missed.

I have mixed feelings about Joyner, she is a great professor but she tends to give good feedback but grades very tough. I respected that she graded tough because it pushed me to become a better writer. Do not miss class!! This will hurt you and your grade. The homework and peer review are more important to your grade than you think. Hope this helps

Attendance isn't required, but you need to understand the assignments given so that you can do well so it is best not to skip class. A tough grader, but is open to helping you as long as you show you care about your work. She is hands-on in class to make sure you understand the concepts required to complete your assignments.

I liked her, just not the class or how it was organized. I liked when we did research in topics of our choosing a lot more than the super long academic articles on maps. She is super strict about attendance, so don't skip and she will not let you come in late at all. We were told to use the book, but never used it in class so I just didn't.

I would definitely recommend this class. All you have to do is complete the work on time and show up (even though she claims its not mandatory yet its very beneficial). She gives very good advice/help on papers as long as you seem interested as well. She does give a lot of work but its college not high school.

Joyner at first seemed like she would make this a difficult class to participate in, but as the semester went on and you become accustomed to her criteria its much easier to succeed in this class. There are multiple weekly assignments that are usually 1-3 paragraphs and sometimes less. Overall there are only three major assignments (essays).

I LOVED her. She is so kind and cares so much about her students. I wish she could teach all of my classes. She always responds and will look over graded assignments before you turn it in. She let us revise a low grade for our final exam!

A lot of the reviews on here seem incredibly inaccurate. In my experience, Professor Joyner is a very committed educator who helps you achieve your goals and grow as a student. You have to put effort into the class, but thats not a negative thing. She isnt unfair in any sense whatsoever.

Professor Joyner was great! I liked her so much Im actually taking her for another class. Shes extremely fair, lets you revise a paper at the end of the term for full credit, is always available to help, and leads great class discussions. I cant recommend her enough!

Good teacher overall, I enjoyed the class because of the open discussion and interaction with my classmates that she encouraged. The course was very organized and she had clear rubrics and directions. The grading wasn't as hard as I was expecting. I feel like I definitely learned things from this class and Joyner did a good job.

She has a very fun personality but she is not going to go easy on you. Be prepared for a challenge. She will be there to help you (like actually help you) . Also make sure you go to peer review sessions, they are important

She definitely has the students best interests in mind. Class is mandatory, but attending class is very beneficial, she gives you time in class to actually work on your assignments. Go to her peer review sessions.

Professor Joyner is an extremely helpful professor. If you fail this class it's because you didn't reach out.

Originally I was scared to take her class because of her rating but it turned out to be the complete opposite the only thing people may have an issue with is the attendance policy that if you miss more than 2 days (unexcused) you can only make a B or lower in the class other than that if you just do the work you will be fine

Overall, the class is pretty hard. She can be a tough grader but if you go out of your way for help, she is more than happy to look over your papers. She not as bad as the reviews make her seem, however be ready to do work in her class. Taking her class helped me become a much better writer.

Coming into this class, these reviews scared me, but I found Mrs. Joyner was somewhat opposite. Her course structure is very well organized, but a lot of BUSY WORK. Attendance is mandatory, but if you do the work and follow her instructions, you will get an A. NO FINAL TEST!
