I took her online World Lit II class and she is one of the sweetest professors you will ever have! Nice about missed deadlines, and does not take much credit away for late assignments. She gives good feedback on discussion posts and writing assignments. If you have to take a literature class, I HIGHLY recommend her! She will help you get an A!!!

Honestly, at first I was not a fan of Professor Dodson, her class is almost too easy. It's basically like taking an English class in elementary school. The first week she was teaching about how to write a sentence, so if you're not great at English or writing this is the class for you. Super nice though and definitely cares about her students.

SHE IS AWESOME! I was a freshman this year and this was my first semester. Her class was not difficult if you went to the writing lab to get them to check your papers. She really cares about her students and she makes you feel comfortable speaking and asking questions. It was a nice transition into college. I would definitely take her again!

Honored to be in her class. Very understanding. Played 2 movies, and short videos. No book. Shares her personal life with you, so understanding. No pop quizzes and does not call you out if you do not read. 4 exams. Always smiling and knows you by name. "Change you have 5 min" -Dodson.

Love Professor Dodson. She truly cares about her students in any shape or form. This was an online class with mainly discussion questions and quizzes. Quizzes were 5 questions and discussions were a paragraph. 1 paper which was 3 pages and a annotated bibliography at the end for the final grade. Overall, an awesome class with a awesome professor.

Dodson is incredible! She has a huge heart for her students and it shows. She is incredibly clear on what she expects. There are only 4 papers, and they are all fairly short. Has a few short quizzes on D2L. Her lectures (or as she calls them, her "preachings") are empowering. The final is a take-home poetry assignment. Take her if get the chance!

Even though this was my first semester of college, I do not think I will ever have another professor like Professor Dodson. She actually cares about your comprehension of the materials and makes sure you understand how to write an essay. You will have to work hard, but with her and the writing center's help, you will succeed!

Mrs. Dodson is AMAZING! She's funny & cares about us so much. Gives D2L quizzes over her lectures (notes are posted so if you miss class you're good), 3 papers & a final poetry-related project. I DELAYED on all of them & did great, but you will definitely pass with flying colors if you stay on time & show up. (May have changed -FA16- but doubt it!)

If you're looking to take 1102 English TAKE HER, don't look any farther, seriously. You have to show that you're willing and ready to put the necessary work into the 3 essays and you'll get an A. We did 1 essay on LOTR, Star Wars, and HP. Then the final essay is a combination of them all. You watch the movies in class. JUST TAKE PROF DODSON!!!

This might be the easiest class I have ever taken, to be honest. 3 papers, and the final paper is a combination of all of them. Only 4 or 5 discussion posts through the whole semester. She's a very easy grader; I got an 100 on a Star Wars paper though I have never seen it (I know, don't judge). The proctored activity is movie night, so no midterms.

I do not enjoying writing AT ALL. But, this class made writing essays so easy and honestly- enjoyable. She gives us a very clear formula on how to write essays and you just piece it together. Our essays we on Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Harry potter. The final was a 10 page essay, which was essentially a combination of each- Super Easy!!
